I was sitting in the classroom, listening to Mr Horikita's boring lecture. I was taking notes on a piece of paper. I didn't really understand what he was saying. I was having trouble concentrating.

I looked to the left. Shun was sitting there like always staring at the window. He had been doing that for the past few days.

I wanted to whisper something to him, but for some reason if felt really awkward. It wasn't because I was afraid of him rejecting me again.

I knew he was a vampire. I also knew he had no intention of joining my club. I didn't care. I wanted to get to know him better.

I shook my head to clear my chaotic thoughts.

Yuu: Hey... Shun...

I finally whispered to him. He turned around. He had been ignoring me since we first met.

Shun: What?

He asked me. Oh, I didn't expect he would answer me. What to do?!

Yuu: Uhm... that is... why are you looking at the window every day? You've been staring at the same spot for the past few days.

Shun: Huh? What do you mean?

Yuu: I mean, you're just staring at the same spot.

Shun looked at me. For some reason he felt different today.

Shun: You don't have anything better to do than this? Can't you pester someone else?

Yuu: Well, I'm just bored. And I wanted to talk to you.

Shun: Hmph. But I don't want to talk to you.

He snorted.

Yuu: Why not?

I wanted to ask him more about his family. About his older sister Mika. I wondered if he had a good relationship with her. I wanted to ask him about his hobbies and interests.

Yuu: (Doesn’t he find me annoying after all? Just like everyone else?)

I thought. I was feeling a little disappointed.

Shun: Do you know who I hate the most? Its people like you. People who don't care about anything and just stick their noses where they don't belong.

Yuu: I see.

I said. I understood what he meant. I also felt a bit sad.

Shun: Anyway, get lost already.

I was shocked by his words.

Yuu: I... I'm sorry... Sniff...

I looked down. I couldn't stop crying. I felt like my heart was breaking. Why do I feel like that? I never felt like that before. My body started to tremble.

Shun: H-hey. What's with you?

I heard Shun say. I tried to calm down but my tears just couldn't stop falling. I put my hand over my mouth. I didn't know why I was crying.

Shun: What's wrong? Hey, don't cry.

Yuu: I'm... I'm sorry... I don't know what's gotten into me...

I was starting to feel dizzy. I felt like I might pass out.

Yuu: Sniff... Sniff.

I felt my chest tighten. I couldn't breathe. I couldn't speak. I was choking. I felt like I was suffocating.

Shun: H-hey...

Shun sounded to be panicking. I wanted to tell him that I was okay. But I couldn't.

Shun: Tch. How annoying. Ah shit…

His words made me tremble even more. That's right I was annoying.

Yuu: (Shun hates me)

After thinking that, I felt like I didn't know what to do.

Shun: F-fine. I will join it.

He said.

Yuu: Eeh?

I heard him say something, but I couldn't comprehend what he told me.

Shun: Your club, I will join it.

He sighed. I looked at him in shook.

Yuu: Really? Really, really?

I stood up not believing my ears. He was looking at the window while scratching his cheek with a finger. I couldn't see his face.

Shun: Yeah. I'll join your club. I don't care what kind of club it is. So, shit. Just don’t cry alright?

Shun wanted to join my club. He said it! He will join it, by his own free will!

I was so overwhelmed with emotions that I didn't know what I was doing.

I jumped at Shun without thinking. I hugged him tightly.

Yuu: Shun I love you!

I shouted something. I seriously didn’t know what I was saying right now. I was so surprised and excited.

Shun: Woah!

He said. I was too happy. I couldn't stop smiling.

Shun: Wha... What are you doing?

Shun said as he tried to push me away, but I stuck to him like a koala. I started rubbing my face against him.

Yuu: I'm so glad. I'm so happy.

I didn't want to let go of him.

Yuu: Ehehehe.

I giggled.

Shun: Tch. You're too clingy. Stop hugging me. It’s disgusting.

Yuu: No way! I'm not letting go.

Shun: Let go already! Ugh.

Yuu: Nooo!

Shun: Wai-

Yuu: Yay! Shun is going to join my club~. Ehehehe.

Mr Horikita: How long are you two going to continue this?

A voice interrupted us. It was Mr Horikita. He was looking at us with a cold gaze.

Yuu: Ooh...

I said with a dumb face. I got off of Shun.

Yuu: I'm sorry.

Mr. Horikita: Are you guys done?

Yuu: Yes sir.

I replied, while saluting.

Mr. Horikita: Good. Then you can both leave now.

Yuu: What, why?

Mr. Horikita: I already signed you as absent today. So, go away and don't disturb my lecture for today.

Shun: Tch, whatever.

Shun said and stood up from his seat.

Yuu: Wait! Wait for me Shun!.

I ran after him.
