Mizuki's POV
The next day, i stepped in her class around break, a neatly packed bento in my hand with two strawberry milk bottles. But i stopped dead in my tracks...
She was alone, as usual which is not surprising. The that got me is... The big Bruise on her left cheek. Her gaze is low as always, so she is still oblivious to my presence. I took couple of steps forward then softened my voice unususally which even got me for a second.
"Yumi...?"
She looked up, startled. Then immediately covered her bruise with her hand and looked away.
I quietly sat beside her, but kept a respectful distance. "who did it?"
She remained silent for a moment then finally said in a small voice "i-i fell yesterday after leaving your house"
That is a terrible excuse, no will buy it but i decided not to push her further if she is not comfortable.
Placing the bento infront of her, i opened the lid "i didn't want to eat alone... Will you...?"
She looked as if she might refuse but she nodded... Holding her chopsticks, i waited for her to take the first bite but before i could say anything, the door burst open and ayame, Akemi, Tsukiko and Aizen rushed in.
"i knew he'll be here!" Akemi exclaimed and in just some seconds, they all were around us.
Ayame waved at yumi and pulled tsukiko close "babe, this is yumi! The girl with pretty eyes"
Tsukiko smiled warmly "i am Tsukiko, her boyfriend"
Faint blush appeared on both their cheeks as Tsukiko announced it. Everyone around including me tried not to laugh except yumi who is looking up at them with those big blue eyes as if she have never seen a couple before.
"h-hi..." she said in a very soft voice
Akemi suddenly leaned in slightly from the other side, examining her bruise "ayame... Was this there yesterday?"
Ayame frowned as well. "no... Definitely not."
