The school bell rang, signaling the end of another grueling day. Jun, as usual, was the last one to leave the classroom, his nose buried in a book. He was so engrossed in his reading that he didn't notice Yuki standing in the doorway, watching him with a soft smile.201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnrUmxcN9N

"Jun," Yuki said, her voice surprisingly gentle. "Can I talk to you for a second?"201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXoQcxoRJL
201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUdlwrMo67
Jun's heart skipped a beat. Yuki, the school's most popular girl, was talking to him?  He quickly closed his book, his cheeks flushing red.201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyL3hgkQhh
201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZrSS7hVUU
"Uh, yeah, sure," he stammered, trying to hide his nervousness.201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNa5ARN3l8
201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOIR3uPZQ0
Yuki took a deep breath. "I... I wanted to ask you something," she said, her eyes meeting his. "Would you... would you like to go out sometime?"201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETHxllzEuv
201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTDbs2V7Ei
Jun's brain went blank.  He couldn't believe what he was hearing. Yuki, the girl of his dreams, had just asked him out on a date.201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo30JDRKwjS
201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVyc82S4Yf
"I... I don't know," he mumbled, his voice barely a whisper. "I mean, I..."201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxFcbpmG1B
201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBfKrs1gZj
"It's okay if you don't want to," Yuki said, her smile fading. "I just... I thought maybe we could..."201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpIkc6jATq
201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqG6yHRVOA
"No, no, it's not that," Jun interrupted, his voice rising in panic. "It's just... I..."201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlY1JBG7Op
201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCAj4gtVemw
He couldn't finish his sentence.  He was too overwhelmed, too afraid to say the wrong thing.201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFuA19YTHc
201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfDqvUZSzG
Yuki's eyes widened in surprise. "Jun, are you... are you okay?" she asked, her voice laced with concern.201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbuM9O94e1Y
201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawdiqdKkcc
Jun shook his head, unable to speak. He just wanted to disappear, to melt into the floor and escape the awkwardness of the moment.201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9XOMyh1Cr0
201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8pzIOgn0w
"Look, I'm sorry," Yuki said, her voice softening. "I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable.  I just... I thought maybe..."201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxSfLSE0Gt
201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivw6lqD4am
She trailed off, her eyes filled with disappointment. Jun felt a pang of guilt. He wanted to say something, anything, but the words wouldn't come.201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXSnZbCK0S
201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7mHaDfgLy
"I'll see you around," Yuki said, turning to leave.201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkSUrXFOWP
201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3WXKXh5SFG
Jun watched her go, his heart sinking.  He had blown his chance. He had let his fear and insecurities get the better of him.201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZnrEUwEiJg
201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXf2eDduwXo
As Yuki walked away, she couldn't help but feel a twinge of sadness.  She had been so nervous to ask him out, but she had finally worked up the courage.  And now, it seemed like it was all for nothing.201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTY1e5GoRV7
201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9KTOqODao
"What was that all about?" a voice said from behind her.201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfthKC6dt8
201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgMMYREDhP
Yuki turned to see Hana, her best friend, standing there with a curious expression on her face.201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2eLLnNPDAJ
201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVSidjIiIe
"Oh, it's nothing," Yuki said, forcing a smile.  "Just a little... misunderstanding."201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhtN5GvqWRT
201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxoWc57X4X
Hana raised an eyebrow. "Misunderstanding?  You were practically blushing when you asked him out."201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJGskrvhoL
201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSx1QNoWFOX
Yuki sighed.  "I know, I know.  He just... he's a little shy.  But I'm not giving up on him."201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Oa2TrhHVe
201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8chBs2954
Hana grinned. "I knew you had a thing for him."201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7OhJWybfHw
201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYY0nleoGgg
Yuki rolled her eyes. "Don't be ridiculous."201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdx69oMygA3
201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrr2W1aIBf5
But deep down, she knew Hana was right.  She had a crush on Jun, and she wasn't going to let this one little misunderstanding stop her.  She was determined to win his heart, even if it meant facing her own fears and insecurities.201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyaVG489qDX
