Description: Nino cannot seem to find his headphones anywhere. He searches the lost and found.  Still, he comes up empty. 

        Nino's  POV:

        I go to school.

      After class, I search for the missing headgear.

       Hmm, they're not in my locker.

          I  check the hall, the lunchroom, the classroom, the lost and found, and everywhere else.

          I  look in the park but come up empty-handed.

          I search at home, my grandmother's house, and the cute neighbor girl's next door's place, and still can seem to locate them.

         Alya's  POV:

      "Nino, what are you doing?"

        I look up to see my crush with his head under the sofa in my house.

          "What brings you here?"

            "Well?"

           Nino's POV:

           I glance up when I hear her voice.

           I  blush as Alya speaks to me.

          "Alya, what are you doing here?"

             "I asked you, first. So, explain yourself."

               I  stumble over my words,  "I came to see if I left my headphones here the other day, A-Alya."

                 To my surprise, she laughed.

              "You can not be serious."

             "Oh, but I am serious."

            "Fine, did you find them?"

          "Well, no.  See here then, you could not have possibly left them here."

           "No out!  Shoo, out you go!"  I  head out the door as she fuses at me.

           "Yes, Miss, right away, Miss Alya."

              Alya's  POV:
                "Imagine, NIno Lahaffe, in my house. Wow, he honestly thought he left something of his at my place. As if, I mean he was only over here once because I invited him over for a video game."

              I   huff as it dawns on me that I was this close to kissing him. Then, I had to go, and ruin it with my harsh attitude. Too bad, for me.

              I   almost fall on the rug as something pokes out of it.  

             I grab up the object that dares to offend me and smile.

            Hmm, look here, it seems we do indeed have something of his after all.

         I box them up, write a note on them, and stuff them inside my bag. 

        Now, I will make sure to find a way to return them soon so that he does not know I found them.

           The next day, I  get ready for school. I check to make sure the box is still inside my backpack. To my relief, it is still there.

         I arrive at school early and sneak over to his locker. I pull out the box and place it inside. There that ought to do it.         

         I  shut the door to the locker and head off to class. I sit at my desk in silence.

        A few moments go by, but I look up when I hear a familiar tune being whistled. I look up to see Nino Lahaffe on his way to his desk, the headphones back in their proper place around his neck.  I  sigh a quick sigh of relief. So far so good, and he is none the wiser.

    After school, I see Nino and smile as he waves at me.

     "Thanks for returning them, bye the way!"

      I stand there stunned. How does he know?

      "Nino, I know not what you are going on about here man."

      "Do not play coy with me, Alya, I know you gave me the headphones back, and let me say I appreciate it."

       Nino kisses my cheek and runs off.  I am left there with a dopey grin on my face. Nino kissed me!  I shall never wash my face again.            

    the end...

   Until, the next one-shot story,

    bye-bye, little owlets!

   Summer out!
