Yume couldn’t sit still. The clock was teasing her. It was definitely going slower today than other days. During her history class, her blue eyes peered away from her school notes and around the room, notes being passed from person to person. The blonde could only wonder what were on the pieces of paper. Hopefully nothing about her.

Her eye lids shut slightly, thinking about what she did this morning. Did he get it? Did someone throw it out? She had hoped he got it, though maybe leaving it anonymous was the best thing. At least Aries wouldn’t have known who got it for him. She pulled her hair back from her face as her mind returned back to her studies. Today was going to be an interesting day.

The bell rung signalling lunch time. Yume didn’t know how much her brain could handle. She was all over the place today. Pulling out the small box of food she had prepared the night before, the blonde couldn’t help but feel eyes on her. Something that was very unusual for someone like her. Slowly peering her eyes to the left, they widened before quickly returning to stare at her food. They were staring. What did she do? Even the guys were staring at her.

“Did you hear?” One of the girls whispered loud enough for Yume to hear across the classroom. “Apparently Hidaka gave Aries-kun a present this morning!” Her hands started shaking. They saw?

“Who does she think she is? She has no chance. I am so much more compatible with Aries-kun than she is.”

“It’s only a rumor though,” One of the guys sighed. Clearly, he wasn’t one for gossip. “How do you know it’s true?”

“Apparently, Saki-chan from Class C saw Aries running after her yesterday. Maybe she was waiting to confess to him!!” The classroom erupted into a laugh fit as Yume tried to look composed, eating her food slightly. Her eyes peered to the right, the door sliding open slightly as she saw faces she wasn’t used to seeing. 

‘Don’t look at them, Yume. Don’t look at them. Don’t let them see your eyes.’ She constantly told herself in her mind as her eyes diverted, bringing her ‘cool’ facade back. Her eye lids shut slightly as she brushed her hair back, moving her loose bangs back to the left side of her face. 

“That’s her!” One of the guys said. ”See? I told you her eyes were gorgeous!” 

“Hey, Hidaka-chan!” They called to her.

“What?” Yume replied sternly. 

“Look over here!” Without thinking, Yume slowly lifted her eyes to them. What class were they in? Aries’ class? C? Her mouth split slightly without thinking, her brows lightening up in a curious notion as to what they want.

“Uwaaaa!” The guy cheered, hurrying back to his class. What was going on? Brushing off everything that had happened, she returned to eating her rice and chicken quietly. What did they want from her?

Maybe the baseball wasn’t such a good idea after all.

The young man left for the loo when it came to lunch hour and upon back at the classroom, noticed that the usual group of idiots that flocked him were nowhere to be found. A click of the tongue in slight irritation at the missing boys, because knowing that this was probably a follow up from this morning’s incident. He suspected something was at bay by the way they were unusually obedient in not pursuing any more inquiry from him about the gift. But he figured that his earlier display of animosity shocked them a bit too much thus the result he got. So now, he probably could guess where they were headed for, much to his dismay definitely. These idiots need to know when to back down. 

Heading his way to the group of girls having their boxed lunch in the middle of the classroom, his diplomatic smile stretch across his lips as he leaned over one of them slightly. His voice somewhat low and gentle as he inquired. “Nee, do you know which class the blonde girl that Saki-chan told you about was from?” his grey eyes narrowed slightly as the girl found herself dusted with a slight tint at the close approximity of the young man to her, her words stutter slightly. “I.. I think it was Class 3A…?” 

A smile as he whispered a small thanks and headed out of the classroom, leaving a flustered pool of happy girls behind him, as he hoped that he makes it there in time before those idiots do something that would harm the blonde’s emotional well-being. There was hell to pay if they were going to do anything stupid.

——-

Upon reaching the A Class, Aries arrived just in time for the boys to bump into him, seemingly they just finished what they went there for, but the smiles on their faces disappeared at the sight on Aries’ smiling expression. His lips were smiling yes indeed, but if one possessed a sixth sense, they would see a dark demon bellowing behind him, a slight manifestation of his coming wrath for them. 

“Just what the hell were you doing?” a calm tone seeping with animosity, much to the horror of the group of boys. “I thought you said you guys weren’t going to pursue this matter. any.more…?

A stuttering reply from the boys did not please the grey eyed young man, with a click of the tongue he turned his glance towards the whispering classroom, which toned down at his gaze. He picked up a few excited whisper amongst the girls, making him suspect of what has become to be something beyond his capacity to control which was unfortunate. With a short exasperated sigh and a slight rub to the back of his neck, his grey orbs looked straight at a startled Yume by the window. 

“Hidaka!” he called out to her, using her surname just to be safe. He didn’t want to spread further rumors by calling her like how he used to. “Miss Sayaka needs you at the Library. She told me to come fetch you.”
