Riku tagged behind Toshika as they walked to an empty classroom. Well tagged may be the wrong word since Riku was a full 2 people behind her.

Why must I go through this trial of fire! What’s wrong with me? Do I really like Sugawara san? No, I have never fallen in love before, so why now? That’s right there’s no way!

“We’re here.” Toshika slid the door to her classroom.

I think that but I still was able to walk here on my own! Riku turned his back towards Toshika.

“Come on in. No one is here after school anyways.” Toshika tugged Riku into the classroom.

“So here we are alone. Now tell me who was there that day!” Toshika closed the door.

Come on! I know you don’t want to be here anymore then I do. Just tell me who it was!

“Come on! It’s not often that a girl like myself gets saved! TELL MEEEE!” Toshika gripped Riku’s shoulders and started violently shaking him.

Riku suddenly became very dizzy. This amount of interaction topples any amount he would receive in a month.

~Riku collapses~

“I’m sorry!”

“Ahh”

Riku body jolted up from the nurse’s bed. Waves of violently shacking memories clashed against the insides of Riku head.

“I said I’m sorry you don’t have to shrivel away.”

Riku did not for a second believe her words and kept his arms wrapped around his body.

“Fine I’ll just be blunt. I just want to know who my savior is. I think I’ve fallen for that person. You had to have seen him, so won’t you please tell me? I promise I’ll never speak to you again afterwards.” She clapped her hands together in a praying gesture. Riku looked at her.

“…” Normally Riku would find the courage to say something if it were the sake of never having to interact again. But this time felt different. He didn’t want to say it was Ichika, he wanted to keep it to himself. He himself didn’t understand why, he just didn’t want to tell.

Riku causally pretended not to here Toshiko, and looked the other direction towards the window.

“Hey I know you can hear me!” Toshiko Raised her hand above her head. Riku shriveled up again.

“Geez, fine I’ll cut you a deal. You want more juice I have plenty.” Toshiko reached into her bag to reveal that she was stacked. One could say she was the queen of juice. But to why she had all the juice is a mystery to anyone.

Seeing that the juice bribe hadn’t phased Riku, she stood up. “Ok, Ok. I tried being nice. I guess it’s time…” Toshika let her voice trail off on purpose. With a sudden assault, she launched her dancing fingers around Riku’s stomach. Riku couldn’t help but let out small laughs, as he tried to retreat.

Toshika stopped. “Of course I’m not goona do it till you faint again. I’m not that heartless. But I will ambush you every day until you tell me!”

From then on Toshika continued to pester Riku.
