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.293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmMeiE1ZsY

"Jun," Yuki said, her voice surprisingly gentle. "Can I talk to you for a second?"293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiB8zYrzJoZ
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJuKnrlWKt
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.293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ23Gnzg3ax
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzecFmejiuR
"Uh, yeah, sure," he stammered, trying to hide his nervousness.293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqsSc5LAxnM
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHs8ArYpmx1
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?"293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZAJ3Wo38l
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBu3vf71vqb
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.293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNkMTVohww
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVqz6aEvfl
"I... I don't know," he mumbled, his voice barely a whisper. "I mean, I..."293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpuEV09Ji7e
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡesw6QFbC3A
"It's okay if you don't want to," Yuki said, her smile fading. "I just... I thought maybe we could..."293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLszOT4ulq
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3gfI99612
"No, no, it's not that," Jun interrupted, his voice rising in panic. "It's just... I..."293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYTMV9CwfM
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8wsNWPHdKq
He couldn't finish his sentence.  He was too overwhelmed, too afraid to say the wrong thing.293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2DJXWQ5px
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfenH08YW8
Yuki's eyes widened in surprise. "Jun, are you... are you okay?" she asked, her voice laced with concern.293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSFEDcb5Qi
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJXQh7Pkbq
Jun shook his head, unable to speak. He just wanted to disappear, to melt into the floor and escape the awkwardness of the moment.293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICqnFc7j9o
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFeGyqfp46H
"Look, I'm sorry," Yuki said, her voice softening. "I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable.  I just... I thought maybe..."293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHHc8SRnFQ
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVw9J5q3cd
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.293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQ6RouIcH0
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJohoOIcJc
"I'll see you around," Yuki said, turning to leave.293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKaMbaMhVLU
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0K1I2YPw7w
Jun watched her go, his heart sinking.  He had blown his chance. He had let his fear and insecurities get the better of him.293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwlwoVfNDC
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6x7Pm06noG
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.293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5336N3nQDI
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4Ab5P6ipj
"What was that all about?" a voice said from behind her.293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MLbHwzMW9
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXM5aLcv7XB
Yuki turned to see Hana, her best friend, standing there with a curious expression on her face.293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbV92F9NmGl
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBELvmIXfFA
"Oh, it's nothing," Yuki said, forcing a smile.  "Just a little... misunderstanding."293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWWP0I97uO
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8ZugbuVJs
Hana raised an eyebrow. "Misunderstanding?  You were practically blushing when you asked him out."293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSg8WJqzrt
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfR87UPMxDy
Yuki sighed.  "I know, I know.  He just... he's a little shy.  But I'm not giving up on him."293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbaYd66DNmc
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxiuEUwcWfg
Hana grinned. "I knew you had a thing for him."293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1F0wIW37J
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5MomolwCh
Yuki rolled her eyes. "Don't be ridiculous."293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBZY9GLivz
293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYIPIHQNkr
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.293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnl0jQIIx3
