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.176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5H81qrR3R

"Jun," Yuki said, her voice surprisingly gentle. "Can I talk to you for a second?"176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2McxR07f0
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVv5IOkpUjL
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.176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ksUOCFYEX
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7lv1UFsLs
"Uh, yeah, sure," he stammered, trying to hide his nervousness.176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36hF2aJB3G
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwGOpVAniX
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?"176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwkyIuzQNq
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzldkLzSmIi
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.176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkM1jU8GQZ
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJgqG3Qak4
"I... I don't know," he mumbled, his voice barely a whisper. "I mean, I..."176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm55M14Bto7
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFX16bWraY
"It's okay if you don't want to," Yuki said, her smile fading. "I just... I thought maybe we could..."176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXtEsBFfds
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBwELRZKeI
"No, no, it's not that," Jun interrupted, his voice rising in panic. "It's just... I..."176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiEoiSEOu7l
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQv5xroXwuq
He couldn't finish his sentence.  He was too overwhelmed, too afraid to say the wrong thing.176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42EWcKiGg8
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrgzFYE0RM
Yuki's eyes widened in surprise. "Jun, are you... are you okay?" she asked, her voice laced with concern.176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVry9vUGw9P
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkLqbHEBgO
Jun shook his head, unable to speak. He just wanted to disappear, to melt into the floor and escape the awkwardness of the moment.176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNUCQEeoGf
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8BMFINyla
"Look, I'm sorry," Yuki said, her voice softening. "I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable.  I just... I thought maybe..."176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHfNIMsi0x
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufDWELqoSE
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.176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BzDEdPTqG
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjgzv7YcpJ
"I'll see you around," Yuki said, turning to leave.176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpCbcZmvtV
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8s2oiEDslw
Jun watched her go, his heart sinking.  He had blown his chance. He had let his fear and insecurities get the better of him.176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbJAAeB64z
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzq1snZa7d
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.176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ889abWMqSk
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmvj6ndysX
"What was that all about?" a voice said from behind her.176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8uHU31hnq
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGSd2hwBIp
Yuki turned to see Hana, her best friend, standing there with a curious expression on her face.176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwiP7mmOTJj
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXgmt75gHL
"Oh, it's nothing," Yuki said, forcing a smile.  "Just a little... misunderstanding."176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DBnaOTr2d
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDJmGHrgS2
Hana raised an eyebrow. "Misunderstanding?  You were practically blushing when you asked him out."176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvelCf1p6X8
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBQ9TwpOL1
Yuki sighed.  "I know, I know.  He just... he's a little shy.  But I'm not giving up on him."176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhaSGJc3WXi
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjN9MIxCa8H
Hana grinned. "I knew you had a thing for him."176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECKACZAneu
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8O4Za1yVVR
Yuki rolled her eyes. "Don't be ridiculous."176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpU51JHzyp
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxo820qSc7A
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.176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVsYUPVTsY9
