"Sai-senpai? Is this okay?" You showed him you sketch book. You were learning from your senpai how to draw for a year now.

"Hmmm. Not perfect. You need to change the perspective, otherwise it seems like the arm is twisted."

You nodded and started redrawing the arm of the beautiful girl in front of you. Your smile was as big as it never was before and you felt your cheeks burning up every time she looked at you.

You were so excited when you knew that Sakura was going to be a model for the art club and you were looking forward for today all week!

It was no secret to everyone that you had the biggest crush on the pink haired girl. After falling asleep on your desk by accident, Naruto managed to steal your notebook to copy your homework and the little doodles you did of Sakura were shared to all the guys in your class. You were so embarrassed when you found out that you didn't wait for the bullies to push you into your locker, you stayed hidden there for the whole afternoon.

You suffered from severe chronic shyness. Naruto often teased you about that but you just cowered away and buried your face in whatever book you were reading at the time.

When you finally finished remaking the arm, the other club members had already left. You closed you sketchbook and Sakura relaxed from the exaggerated position she had been for 30 minutes.

"You took longer than your colleagues, yeah?" She said trying to make small talk and watching you pack your art materials.

"A-Ah-! I'm sorry, I'm kind of a perfectionist and I wanted to make sure the drawing came out as beautiful as the model..." Your voice getting more quite towards the end.

"You're cute!" She giggles.

"I'm not cute! I'm manly!" You yelled, getting even more embarrassed.

"You can be both!"

You made a 'hmmm~' sound of contemplation before your worst nightmare fell upon you two.

Awkward silence.

You started freaking out, making small talk was the only way you had to make people not notice how weird and/or anxious around them.

'Oh God, Oh God, Oh God, Oh God, Oh God, Oh God, Oh God, Oh God, Oh God, Oh God, Oh God, Oh God, Oh God, Oh God...'

Your hand is starting to shake and you can't close your pencil case's zipper. You were embarrassing yourself in front of the girl you liked! YOU NEED TO MAKE CONVERSATION NOW.

Sakura was about to ask if you were fine when you slammed your sketchbook open on a near by table (which scared her a bit) and ripped off the page with her drawing and gave it to her, your hands shaking.

"PLEASE TAKE IT!"

She blinked a few times before thanking you.

"You didn't have to!" 

Sakura didn't examine the whole drawing before she notice your shaking form from the corner of her eye. She quickly put the sheet on the table and went to side.

"(Y/N)? Are you okay?" She rubbed your arm.

"I'm...! I'm...! O-kay!" The deep, erratic breaths didn't seem to bring enough oxygen and you started feeling light-headed.

"(Y/N)! (Y/N)! Breath!"

Sakura grabbed a chair and made you sit. She then got on her knees and grabbed your chin, making you look into her eyes.

"Breath." She said gently.

You took a deep breath, mimicking her.

After a few seconds of just focusing on getting air into your lungs, your mind cleared and the familiar feeling of shame coming at you full force. You lowered your eyes, feeling shy again.

"Are you alright now?" She said while taking your hands on hers.

"I feel like I made a fool out of myself... I bet I don't look manly anymore, right?" You said with a nervous chuckle.

Sakura gave you a small, sympathetic smile.

"You do. You also look cuter now, even if you are all sweaty."

You blushed again.

"Thank you, I was really freaking out..."

"You welcome. Do you usually have these?"

"Sometimes, but only when I get nervous."

"You don't have to be nervous around me. Is it because you like me?" The girl winked.

"Maybe..." You squeaked.

She giggles again and told to get up.

"Let's go!" She said while grabbing your stuff and putting them on your backpack.

"Where are we going?"

"Buy a frame for this!" She said holding up your drawing.

She grabbed you by your arm and practically dragged you out of the club room.

You closed the door and walked down the hall with her. You noticed her getting close to you and next thing you know, her delicate hand grabbed yours again.

You stopped and squeezed her hand softly.

"Is this a pity date? Is it because of my panic attack?"

"You think I call all guys I see cute?"

You believed she didn't and she did call you cute before your panic attack.

Satisfied with her answer you gave her a charming smile and continued walking out of school, hoping that from now on, you would be able to feel more comfortable around Sakura.
