Monday

Another day of boring school... though, my friends make it better.

Wait... what is Teruhashi gonna say when we see her? You know, I'm not going to worry about it right now. I'll just think of something when it happens.

I finished my breakfast and washed my dish. I checked the time and saw that I still have a few more minutes left so I just scrolled through various apps on my phone.

I got interrupted by someone ringing the doorbell.

I turn my phone off and swiftly put it into my pocket. I got up and opened the door to see Saiki.

'School.'

"Oh yeah! Hold on." I shut the door and run up into my room to grab my backpack. I quickly put it on and walk outside.

"Hi!" I run up to him.

'Hey.' he simply said, no expression shown on his face whatsoever.

"Ah! You're wearing the outfit that I picked out for you! You're going to get so many compliments."

'Yes, I am wearing it. I like it and you told me to wear it today.'

"Yeah... I'm glad you like it! It looks really good on you." I complimented, looking him up and down.

'You told me that like a thousand times.'

"Yeah, yeah, I know. I just can't get over it." I chuckled, looking forward.

'Mk.'

Man sure is boring...

...

'Oh no, Teruhashi's coming over.' I warned Saiki.

'What?' he quickly turns around and see's the glowing bluenette. 'Oh..'

"Hey Saiki, Hey L/n..!"

"Hey." I smile and waved at her.

"I saw you guys at the mall the other day... I think Friday? Anyways, I called out for you guys and you ignored me. I also noticed you guys running?"

"What? We weren't at the mall..?" lies escaped my lips and I gave her a confused look.

'Phew! So L/n and Saiki weren't out together! I was just mistaken.'

Teruhashi was smiling very weirdly, And I know why.

"...Teruhashi?"

"O-oh! Yes?" she snapped out of her thoughts, looking at you.

"Nevermind. Talk to you later." I then turn my head away from her and look at Saiki.

'Phew, do you think she believed it?'

'Can't you read her thoughts?'

'Oh, heh.. right.'

...

The bell rang and it was time for lunch which I'm super excited about.

I spotted a familiar pinkette in the hallway and rushed over to him. "Hey, Saiki!"

'Hey.' he didn't even bother to look at me.

"How has school been?" I inquired, still looking up at him.

'Hell. Now leave me alone.'

"Aw, but we're heading to the same destination."

'Okay. Also, you're making me look weird by answering me when I'm not even saying anything out loud.'

'Oh, my bad..?'

Wait, doesn't he do that too?

We finally reached the cafeteria. Saiki sat down and I sat down next to him. As I waited for Kuboyasu and Kaidou, I was on my phone texting one of my old friends.

"Hey!" Kuboyasu waved, sitting down in front of me.

"Hi!" I quickly turned my phone off and put it back into my pocket.

"Did you guys finish the project for social studies?" Kaidou asked.

"Project? Was it due today? I have it next period!" I immediately panicked and stood from my seat.

"No, it's not due today, it's due tomorrow," Kaidou answered.

"What?! I haven't even heard about this pro-"

"Woah, calm down." Kuboyasu placed his hand on my shoulder and pushed me gently back down onto my seat. "I'll help you with it."

"What? Are you sure?" I asked.

I really don't want to fail... my mom will KILL me.

"Of course! It was super easy for me so it shouldn't be a problem."

"Thank you, Kuboyasu!" I got up from my seat and gave him a small hug.

'Good grief.'

'What?'

'Nothing, nothing..'

'Is someone getting jealous..?'

'No, not at all. I don't even like you.'

'Wow... I'm so hurt.' I jokingly pout at him.

'Stop acting like a child.'

I just rolled my eyes at Saiki and continued to talk to Kaidou and Kuboyasu.

...

"So when I went to social studies, the teacher was talking about the project. I don't know how I didn't hear her. I mean, I've fallen asleep multiple times in her classroom..." I shamefully admit.

"It's fine. We'll finish it very quickly, and as I said, it was easy. You're gonna pass." Kuboyasu assured me.

I sighed in contentment. "Thank you again. You didn't have to but you still did, It means a lot."

'You realize you can use your powers?'

'Yeah, but he doesn't know about that. Also, I can talk to him and have fun while we do the project.'

'Alright then. You go have fun with Kuboyasu, I don't care.'

'Why are you so upset all the damn time?' I inquired, starting to get a bit irritated.

"Bye, Saiki!" Kuboyasu waved him goodbye and looked over at me. "You okay?"

I shook my head and looked up at Kuboyasu. "I'm fine."

I looked back at Saiki and noticed a sigh escaping his lips. He didn't even say bye back.

"He's always like that." I sighed and facepalmed at his rudeness.

"Yeah, I wonder why," Kuboyasu said almost in a whisper.

We both just shrug it off and walk beside one another, heading to my house. Once we got there, we immediately headed to my room and began to work.

...
1 hour later

"Just one more little detail and... done!" he put down his pencil and looked at the poster.

"Perfect! It's amazing." I clapped my hands excitedly.

I stand beside him and place my arm on his back, patting it gently.

"Thank you again." I look up at him with a big grin plastered on my face.

"It was no problem. It was really fun working with you." he smiled back.

"Anyway, I should probably get going, my mom will probably be pissed if I'm not home in a few minutes." he chuckled.

"Oh, alright." I frowned slightly. We both walk downstairs and I open the door. "I'll see you tomorrow!"

He turns his head around and nods.

Hmm... I should probably hang out with Saiki now. I wonder what he's doing.

I teleport into his room. He didn't seem to notice so I decided to creep up on him and scare him.

Before I could scare him, he spoke, 'I know you're here.'

"Dammit." I groaned, leaning my head back.

'Loser.'

"You're a loser." I stick my tongue out at Saiki and sat down next to him on the bed.

'Stop acting like a child.'

"Whatever. Anyways, watcha doing?" I ask, trying to see what he's doing, which was reading.

"Hmm... reading. While you're reading, I can play with your hair." I cheekily smile and sat behind him.

I put my hands in his soft, pink hair, playing with it gently.

'Do you always have to play with my hair?'

"Yes, it's very soft." I twirl a strand of hair around my finger.

He closes his eyes and slowly leans back but quickly stops himself.

"Aha! I saw you!"

'No, you didn't, I didn't do anything.'

"You were leaning back! It feels good, I know. People always tell me that it feels good when I massage their scalp."

'I wasn't leaning back... you were just pushing me back.' Saiki lied.

"Sure, whatever you say." I shrug and continue to play with his hair.

...

Saiki puts his book down and turns his head around to look at me.

'You can stop now.'

"But it's soft." I pout.

'Okay, and?'

"Come on, just take a nap! You can lay your head on my lap." I suggested, patting my lap.

Saiki looked down at my lap and then back to my face, debating if he should or not.

'Well, I'm pretty tired... But just this once, you're not playing with my hair again.'

"Yay! Okay, lay your head down on my lap." I instructed, patting my lap once more but this time it was in an exciting way.

He lays down and puts his head on my lap.

"Now close your eyes..."

He closes his eyes and I immediately start playing with his hair.

'Hm... maybe this won't be the last time you play with my hair.'

"Really?! Yay!"

'Ok, now shut up and play with my hair.'

"Ok, ok."
