Chapter 9

On Tuesday Yumi found a small gift outside her dorm door. A cute little cat figurine she could add to her room as decoration. On Thursday she found a flower in her locker. Not just any flower though, there was a red ranunculus, her favorites. She was getting antsy to see who was the admirer, someone who knew so much about her. As she held the flower she realized a small note was under it. It said to meet them outside the dorms tonight. The admirer was going to reveal himself? She let out a small squeal of joy and she held on to the note and flower. She walked to her class, happily holding on to the flower and note.

Oh my gosh! Another gift from your admirer?" Said Ochako as she held the flower. Yumi nodded happily.

"Well someone seems chipper today!" Greeted Kirishima before noticing the third gift Yumi received.

"I'm going to meet him tonight!" Squealed Yumi, her ears perked up as she was getting excited.

"But didn't you swear off dating?" Mentioned Kirishima. Mina elbowed him in the gut as Yumi's heart dropped. That's right. She only wanted to meet the admirer to let them down.

"Y-yes....I guess I got too excited." Her ears pinned themselves to her head as she laid her head down on the desk.

As the girls tried to hype her up about being excited to see her admirer, Shinsou had overheard the conversation. He smiled at how excited Yumi was, he wanted to tell her for the past few days who her admirer was. He felt a bit childish with leaving gifts instead of flat out telling her, but at least this way she can feel a bit more excited about possibly dating someone. Then Kirishima had to ruin it by asking THAT. Shinsou buried his head in his hands as Yumi stopped sounding excited.

'That idiot' thought Shinsou as he grimaced. And now he has to meet her tonight. How would she react knowing her neighbor is her admirer? The guy with messy hair, the one she always fights with, the one that has been crushing on her since they were kids.

'God this is pathetic' he thought as he reminisced on their childhood. Even when they hated each other he still wouldn't let anyone hurt her. Not that they could anyways, she beat up bullies without a problem. But during their truce as kids, he never wanted to let her go. He finally saw a new side of her during that time. She was cute, silly, cheerful, and so beautiful in his eyes. And seeing that side of her fade away because of the divorce killed him. She became cold, even flinching whenever he tried to hold her hand. That side of Yumi was taken away from him. And he wanted to bring it back, he wanted to see that side of Yumi again. Where she wasn't afraid of singing out loud, or when she'd laugh so much she would actually snort, and then laugh harder because of the snort.

He laughed a little, remembering that side of her. He straightened up in his seat, trying to act natural before class started. God this night is gonna be....interesting to say the least.
