Yamaguchi noticed that the violet eyed girl is a quiet and soft spoken person. She doesn't usually talk and she's earnestly listening, even though the lessons were as boring as hell. He couldn't help but glance at her once in a while. Sure, her eyes were interestingly strange but there's something that he wanted to know more about her, such as her habits and personality. The way she calls him by his first name was really nice to hear and he wanted to know more about her.

The bell rang, signalling that it's lunch time. Ayame finished eating her lunch and went outside to buy a drink. Tsukishima finished his lunch and Yamaguchi is still eating, slowly, which is unusual for him.The tall blonde took notice of this and called his friend.

"Hey, Yamaguchi..." Tsukishima said, looking at the freckled teen, who seemed to have lost interest in eating his lunch.

"..."

"Yamaguchi..." he called again.

"..."

"Hey, Yamaguchi!! Wake up!!" he said and this time knocking Yamaguchi's head to wake him up from his trance.

"E-eh? What was it, Tsukki?" the other teen responded, completely startled.

"It took me three times to get your attention. Mind if I know what's keeping you troubled?" he asked.

"N-nothing..." he replied.

"Pfft...I know you, Yamaguchi. Is your mom's cooking that bad?" he asked and Yamaguchi gave him a deadpanned expression "Or you're thinking about that girl?" Tsukishima asked with a mischievous smirk on his face.

"W-what girl?" he asked, though he knew which girl he meant.He's too easy to read...

"Mizuki Ayame, of course. Do you have a crush on her?"

The freckled teen nearly choked his food upon hearing this and blurted out "W-what are you t-talking about, Tsukki!? I barely know her!" Yamaguchi answered defensively, his ears turning pink.

"Or maybe you want to know her more?" Tsukishima asked, smirking.

"W-well, yeah, of course...but that doesn't mean she's my crush" he answered.

"Whatever you say" he snickered, slipping his headphones.

"Or maybe you like her, Tsukki" Yamaguchi teased him. Strangely, it left a bitter taste in his mouth saying that.

Despite that he's wearing his headphones, the tall blonde heard him and glared at him menacingly, scaring the freckled teen "Hah?!"

"Nothing! Forget it. I'm going outside to buy a drink. Tsukki, you want something?" he asked his friend. Tsukishima returned to his usual bored expression and hummed for a few seconds before answering.

"Strawberry milk"

Yamaguchi nodded before leaving. While he is walking in the hallway, he could hear some first years and second years talking about someone.

"Have you seen that violet eyed girl earlier? She's so cute and pretty!"

"I think she was a first year in Class 4. I think her name was Mizuki Ayame"

"I heard she's from an all-girls school in Tokyo"

"Her violet eye's really strange. But still, she's cute. I like her"

He ignored them and continued walking until he reached the vending machine. He bought two strawberry milk drinks and pushed the straw in the carton and drank one, carrying the other drink back to their room. As he was walking back, he saw a confused looking Ayame, wandering around the hall.

"I'm lost..." she muttered, a gloomy aura hovering above her. The freckled teen heard her and pitied her sense of direction.

"Mizuki-san?" Yamaguchi called her. Ayame looked at him, startled.

"Tadashi-kun, h-hello..." she shyly greeted him.

"Are you lost?" Yamaguchi asked her. Ayame's face turned pink from embarrassment that someone knew that her sense of direction is quite pitiful.

"Y-yes...pretty stupid of me, I know..." she glumly said "Give me a month and I'll remember every corner of this school"

"Then, why don't you come with me? I'm heading back to our room" Yamaguchi suggested and Ayame's face lit up in happiness.

"Really?! Thank you!" she smiled, the first smile Yamaguchi saw on the violet eyed girl's face and he admits that he kinda liked it. Maybe, Tsukishima was right after all. He actually wanted to know her more.
