*The only thing that's in my mind is to run away, to let the big guy do his business with the girl* I am really a loser. *The guy are only steps away from me, his footsteps are all I hear, my eyes locked on his big.. tall physique.* Damn he's really huge, cough cough.
*Out of panic I launched my self at him, my fist clenched preparing for punch*
"R-Run away!!" *the girl cried out, her voice cracking and loud with desperation, but I'm already launching myself to him to strike a punch.*
*I am trembling so bad, my legs, my hands even my head, I feel like peeing in my pants but I hold it, I tried to embrace what's about to happened.*
*Soon after I realized I got slammed in the ground* what just happened? *I slowly opened my eyes and saw him standing there while I lay on the floor, my back aching from the impact that had knocked me down.*
*I can't move any parts of my body, I'm not sure if it's because of impact or the fear I'm feeling. I just lay there while he look down on me. Just as he was about to throw a punch at me, a plank of wood suddenly slammed into him. He collapsed to the floor, groaning, a red mark spreading across the side of his face. Behind him stood the girl, clutching the plank in her hands.*
*I was in shock, unable to believe what had just happened. The girl threw the plank of wood. When I looked at the guy, he was clearly in pain, groaning and writhing.*
"Let's run, Reui-san!" *The girl suddenly grabbed my hand and pulled me along as she spoke, Her voice was soft and timid, yet the way she spoke is so firmly. Did she just called me in my first name? I'm not so sure because it happened so suddenly, I'm still shocked and disbelief. But I'm glad I'm still in one piece.*
*She grabbed my hand and led me toward the rooftop exit. My eyes stayed on the floor as we walk, she was only in socks.*
"W-wait your shoes!" *I said hesitantly, I know it's not the time to think about her shoes, but what can I say my mind is so unpredictable.*
*When I looked back, I saw the guy slowly getting up on his feet, no time to get the shoes. She glanced at me her grip tightening it feels aggressive a little bit.*
"I'll just buy another one, let's just get out.." *She said in a low, timid voice as she pulled me along. We stepped back into the building and hurried down the stairs.*
*We ran as fast as we could, trying to put as much distance as possible between us and the rooftop. It didn't seem like the guy was following us.*
*As we ran together my gaze keep on her back, her sweaty nape shows when her hair bounces, It started to sink in—everything that had just happened.*
*We ended up in one of the empty classrooms. Our intertwined hands slipped apart as we stepped into the empty classroom. Both of us were gasping for air, our chests rising and falling with heavy breaths as we tried to steady ourselves.*
"Can I ask what's your name..?"
*As we struggled to catch our breath, I asked for her name. I glanced at her while she gasped for air, and that's when I realized—she was actually pretty cute.*
*She had a short beautiful black, wavy layered bob hair, long lashes, and brown, almond eyes. She has big black oval glasses. She wore her uniform, but it was clear she had a curvy figure beneath it. Her collarbone stood out gently, and her skin was smooth and pale that glows when sunlight hits her skin.*
"Seya… Seya Aranami." *she answered, still breathless, tugging at her collar for air and exposing just a glimpse of skin that made me blush a little but I refused to look too long*
Aranami Seya huh... Aranami.. I feel like heard it before, but where?
*I mumbled to myself, trying to remember where I'd heard that name before.*
"U-uhm you? What's your name.. " *She asked in a shyly and low tone, her eyes meeting mine. Her pupils were clear and beautiful, and her face so pleasing to look at that it was hard for me to meet her gaze directly.*
But I swear, I heard her called me in my first name, but maybe I'm just imagining it
"Reui Kuziya" *I responded casually, though there's strange feelings—I couldn't shake the sense that I'd met her before.* "Did we met before?" *I tried to sound casual and normal, but there's unease feelings towards her.*
*She looked surprised at my question, but she brushed it off almost immediately.* "N-no..."
*She said, her timid and shy tone never changed.*
Maybe it's really just my imagination
*She suddenly approached me, her hand reaches mine.* "T-thank you so much for s-saving me Reui-kun.." there she is, she called my first name at ease *she said with much more energy than her usual voice, there's a droplet of tear in her eyes, her hands was holding my mine.*
"I-it's nothing Aranami-san.. I did what most people will do.." *i said, lowering my tone, she shakes her head as if she's refusing my respond.*
"N-no, not everyone will do the same on that situation.." *She said, her voice lowering and sweet, I cut her off.*
"You also save me, if u didn't.." *I froze, the memory of what had happened earlier rushing back to me, I know it was not normal for a girl to do that, to hit a guy with a plank of wood.*
"you can just run away back then but.. if it wasn't what you did I think I'd be cover in bruise and welts by now.. so I guess we're just tie right?" *I said, I tried to sound as casual as possible, she shakes her head once again*.
"T-that's because you help me first, at least let me repay you, Rei-kun!" Damn this girl been calling me by my first name since day one. *She holds my hands tighter, and to be honest it's starts to feel hurt on her grip.*
*Then the door suddenly opened.*
