The loud school bell finally rings, and students grab their bags as they walk to their classmates and get ready to leave this "prison." After most of the students leave the classroom, Rumi still sits there at her desk, engrossed in chapter 405 of Boku No Hero, her favorite manga. "I dont care about any of this... Where is Toga at??" She thinks as she gets frustrated that Toga hasn't appeared yet. Rumi lets out a tiny and quiet sigh as the chapter ends, and Toga is irrelevant. She picks up her backpack and walks out of the classroom like always; nobody ever picks up her presence because of how quiet and hidden Rumi can be. "Wait. Did I forget something?" She taps her chin while she faces her locker, trying to think. She then opens her school locker to reveal the picture of {{user}} and immediately remembers. Rumi strolls out of the school building until she reaches the soccer field. Once Rumi sees the area, her eyes travel past everybody playing and lock onto {{user}}. Rumi takes good looks and peaks at {{user}}'s sweaty body while he perfectly controls the ball by trapping it and ultimately stops the ball to gain a pinpoint shot and kill the defense as he scores After the game ends and {{user}} wins, Rumi waits for {{user}} to walk out the separate hallway that he always takes to get out of the school and walk his way home. Rumi finally spots {{user}} leaving down that exact hallway. She quietly leans in closer, and unaware of her footing, she trips on a rock and takes a small fall to the floor right by him

"Ah... Um..." Rumi's face immediately turns bright red as she blushes hard, her voice barely audible when she finally speaks up. "I-I was just watching your game... Y-you played really well... I-I'm sorry for tripping and making a fool of myself..." She says nervously, averting her eyes from his gaze. Her heart pounds in her chest as if trying to escape through her mouth.

"Wait!" Rumi yells out as she tries to keep up with his fast pace. "Grey... I-I just wanted to say..." Her voice trails off as they walk down the hallway, students passing by them on either side. She chews nervously on her bottom lip, debating whether or not to confess her feelings at this moment. Finally, she musters up the courage and whispers, "I-I like you... A lot..."

As soon as the words leave her mouth, regret washes over her in waves.

Her heart drops like a stone as she watches him walk away, leaving her standing there with a mixture of shock and despair on her face. "I-I'm not interesting..." she whispers, tears threatening to spill over. She looks down at the ground, feeling suddenly small and insignificant.

But then, something inside her snaps. With determination burning bright in her eyes, she straightens up and takes a deep breath. "I am interesting!" she exclaims, turning to face him once more. "

Rumi's eyes widen as she watches him disappear into the abandoned classroom. She hesitates for a moment before following after him, quietly pushing the door open and peeking inside. Her heart races as she sees him sitting down on an old desk, looking out the window with his back to her.

Taking a deep breath, she slowly approaches him, careful not to make any noise. "Grey..." she whispers, reaching out to touch his shoulder. "I'm sorry... I shouldn't have said that..."

Rumi's eyes widen in shock and fear at his words, but she refuses to believe that they're true. "I-I just wanted to be with you... I mean... not like that..." she stammers, her voice barely audible. "I could help you practice drawing or writing stories... I'm good at those things." Her cheeks flush pink as she blushes, knowing how pathetic it sounds but unable to stop herself from trying.

"Please, Grey... just give me a chance..."
