She goes back home feeling refreshed but Yamada Ryosuke is starting to act a bit strange around her…
I took my time as I walked to class. I came to school early today. As I walked down the hallways I noticed people talking and whispering. I wasn’t able to catch much of their conversations but I was sure I heard “Yuto and Yamada” a couple times. What was going on?
As I entered the classroom I spotted one of my classmates, Haruna-chan, sitting at her desk. Haruna-chan was nice and quiet. Despite being quiet Haruna always knew the latest gossip. Maybe she knew what was up…
I walked up to Haruna’s desk. “Hey Haruna,” I said
She adjusted her glasses and looked up at me, “Good morning Kari.”
“Do you know if anything’s going on with Yuto and Yamada?” I asked.
“Oh! You haven’t heard yet?” I shook my head. “Apparently Yuto-san and Yamada-san are fighting.”
My eyes widened. “About?”
“A girl, I think.” She said. My heartbeat quickened.
“How bad is it?” I asked.
“Pretty bad. It’s especially bad since Chinen-san isn’t here to be a mediator between those two.” She studied my face for a second. “Hey are you okay? Your face is getting paler…”
“Oh! Haha… I probably just need some fresh air! Thanks Haruna!” I said as I raced out the classroom door.
I walked out of the school building through the side entrance. I didn’t want to walk out through the front entrance because I didn’t want to bump into-
“Hey Kari,” said a voice from behind me. I screamed and spun around only to find Yuto standing there.
“Oops, sorry! I didn’t mean to scare you.” He said.
“It’s okay. I’m just a little jumpy today…” I wondered whether I should ask him about his fight with Yamada but I decided not to. It was none of my business.
“Want to walk to class with me?” he asked.
“Uh… I…” before I could answer the door next to us flung open. It was Yamada.
I was already used to seeing Yamada mad or angry from when he bullied me so I was shocked to see him not mad, not angry, but furious. “YUTO! What the hell are you doing!?” Yamada yelled. He marched over to us, grabbed my arm and pulled me behind him, shielding me from Yuto.
“What the hell are YOU doing? Kari isn’t your girlfriend or anything. I have every right to talk to her.” Said Yuto in a cool voice, it was chillingly cool.
Since I was behind Yamada I couldn’t see his face but I could see his fists tighten. Yuto and Yamada stared at each other for seconds which felt like hours. I was afraid that they would start fighting any second but suddenly the school bell rang, signaling the beginning of class.
Yamada broke their stare, turned around, grabbed my hand and walked in the direction of our classroom. Yuto followed but at a safe distance away.
“Um… Yamada… you don’t really need to hold my hand…” I said.
“I… uh… don’t want you to get lost…” he said.
How the hell would I get lost going to my own classroom in my own school which I’ve been attending for two years? I didn’t say anything though, it was no use arguing with an idiot under stupid tree charm magic.
By the time we got to the classroom class had already started. The teacher glared at Yamada, Yuto and I. “Since you three are late I’m having you run a few errands for me as punishment.” Said sensei. “Yuto take these forms to the office. Yamada and Kari I need you to go to the art supply room to get the following supplies…”

Yamada and I were looking through the shelves in the small art supply closet. “Ah!” I said as I found the sketch pads that we needed to bring back. I pulled them out but in doing so I knocked down a can of paintbrushes onto the floor.
Yamada and I got down on our knees to pick them up. Yamada and I reached for one at the same time and our hands touched. We both quickly pulled back and looked up at each other.
“Kari… I need to ask you something…” he said.
“Uh… okay…” Please, for the sake of all that is good don’t ask me out.
“Do you… do you still like Yuto?” he asked.
I was surprised by his question. And then I realized something. This was my way out! If I said I still liked Yuto he would definitely give up on me, he might even start hating me again! I was about to scream yes but then I stared at Yamada’s face. He looked sad, scared and… desperate.
“I… I do…” his face was now full of hurt, “not… I do not… like him.” I said.
His face now lit up with happiness. Oh my goodness what have I just done?

I was at my shoe locker switching out my shoes when Yuto jogged up to me. “Hey Kari!”
“Oh, hey Yuto. What’s up?”
“Thanks to you I was able to smooth things over with Yamada!” he said cheerfully.
“Oh… hey, how did you guys get into that kind of argument in the first place anyway?” I asked.
“Oh well the other day all the Hey! Say! JUMP members were playing Truth or Dare. I got truth and the question was ‘Have you ever been confessed to?’ and I told the truth which was yes. The other idiot members, not knowing the situation, teased me and kept saying I should go out with the girl.” Yuto’s face blushed slightly. “Afterwards Yamada told me to stay away from you, he threatened me, yelled at me, and said a bunch of unnecessary things.” He laughed nervously, “that’s sort of why I talked to you today. I was just getting some revenge on him… sorry about that.”
“It’s fine.” It was Yamada’s fault for overreacting like an idiot.
“Well um anyways, you should really give Yamada a chance. He really, REALLY likes you. Well I have to go, bye Kari!” he said.
My heartbeat was fast and I could feel my face heating up. I quickly reached into my pocket and grabbed the charm just to remind myself that Yamada’s feelings weren’t real.
