“Say ahhh....”

“I’m fine, Sano!”

“You look flushed to me. Are you sure you’re not coming down with a sore throat or a cold or something?”

She could hardly tell him that during their free period, instead of doing her classwork, she had been daydreaming about him.

“I’m fine! I just got a little too warm!”

Sano leaned in closer to test the temperature of her forehead with his hand, and Mizuki thought absently that if she leaned just a little farther forward she could kiss him-just as she had been daydreaming about. Their eyes locked briefly, and for one disconcerting moment, she wanted to do it. She wanted to close the gap of a few inches and end all the torturous uncertainty of “does-he or does-he-not like me” with a brush of lips.

Then with a rush, she came back to herself, remembering that they were in a classroom with the interested audience of Sekime, Noe, and Nakatsu.

“You know, maybe I will go see Dr. Umeda. I am kinda not feeling so good.” Mizuki headed for the door, the flush on her cheeks due to embarrassment at her own thoughts rather than illness.

‘Oh, God! I can’t believe I almost kissed him! In the middle of class! I hope he couldn’t tell what I was thinking.... Oh, I so could have blown everything just now.’

Mizuki’s thoughts churned wildly, resulting in a somewhat erratic course down the hallway. This masquerade was becoming more and more difficult. The happiness that came from just being near the guy she loved was still there, but it was now tempered with frustration.

She was near him but she couldn’t be with him. She couldn’t go out on a date with him, couldn’t hold hands with him, and definitely couldn’t kiss him. He was there all the time, looking completely wonderful with his gorgeous dark eyes and that hair that always made her itch to bury her fingers in it.

She knew she wasn’t the only girl that found him attractive. After that picture of him, Nakatsu, and Nanba had been published, the girls had been all over him. He was so darned sexy, and he didn’t even have a clue.

Unfortunately, she did.

Which is why she was now making her way to the infirmary, hoping a conversation with Dr. Umeda would at least provide her with a temporary distraction from her “illness.”
