  We were standing in front of my house. I was squirming. My heart was beating fast for some reason.

  Yuu: Erm...

  I stuttered not knowing what to say. I felt like my thoughts were all jumbled. I couldn't even remember what I was going to say. I looked at Shun.

  I felt my face heat up. I was blushing. I didn't understand why I was embarrassed. I kept staring at him, I wanted to talk to him, but I couldn't find the words.

  Yuu: (What's wrong with me?)

  I wondered. Shun noticed my gaze and he glared at me.

  Shun: You're being weird. Aren't you going home? What's wrong?

  Yuu: Ah... Ahh... That…

  I tried to answer but I couldn't speak properly.

  Shun: Say something.

  He said impatiently.

  Yuu: I-I'm... I'm fine. Thanks.

  I managed to squeeze out some dubiously sounding thanks.

  Shun: Tch. Fine then. See you later.

  He sighed, turned around and walked away.

  I watched him go, feeling really confused.

  Yuu: (What's wrong with me? Why do I feel so weird? Why am I so nervous?)

  If you stumble upon this tale on Amazon, it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.

  Yuu: Wait!

  I called out to him desperately. He stopped and turned around.

  Shun: Tch. What is it again?

  He asked with a fed up expression.

  Yuu: Ah... Umm...

  I fumbled. I was still staring at him. I couldn't take my eyes off him. I felt like I was losing myself.

  Yuu: (What should I do? W-why did I stop him?)

  I thought what to say.

  Shun: Hurry up and go home.

  Yuu: Hey... do you want to join my Supernatural Research Club?

  I blurted out the first thing that came to mind.

  Shun: ...

  Shun looked at me with deadpan expression.

  Shun: No.

  Then he turned around and started walking away.

  Yuu: W-wait!

  I called out to him again.

  Shun: ...

  But he ignored me. I stood there, wondering what to do. I was feeling panicky. I didn't want him to go.

  Yuu: (Aah... Aaahhh!)

  I wailed in my heart. I dropped my bag on the ground and ran after him. I didn't know what I was doing anymore.

  Yuu: Wait!

  I shouted desperately and rammed into his back.

  Shun: Whoa!

  He stumbled on his feet almost falling over. I grabbed onto him tightly and hugged him.

  Shun: Wh-what are you doing?! Ugh.

  He yelled angrily.

  Yuu: I... I don't know! I just got this weird feeling!

  I cried out. I couldn't understand it either.

  Yuu: (What's wrong with me? Why do I feel so strange?)

  Shun: Let go of me!

  He yelled and tried to push me away. But I clung to him tighter.

  Shun: What's wrong with you?!

  He shouted at me.

  Yuu: I don't know! I don't know!

  I cried out hysterically.

  Shun: Let go!

  He tried to push me away again.

  Shun: Tch. Fine.

  Then changing his mind he shrugged and stopped.

  Shun: Seriously. What's wrong with you? Are you stupid? You are stupid after all, right?

  He asked exasperated.

  Yuu: I... I just... don't know.

  I whispered.

  Shun: Sigh. I can't believe you're such an idiot.

  Yuu: Will I see you tomorrow? At school?

  Shun: Yeah. We are in class together.

  Yuu: Okay.

  I nodded. I didn't want to let go.

  Yuu: (Uwaah! What's with me? I'm acting so weird.)

  Yuu: I-I'm sorry.

  I apologized. And slowly let go.

  Shun: Just go home already.

  He said with a sigh.

  Yuu: Yeah. I will. See you tomorrow. Y- you have to come! Definitely! If you won't, I won't forgive you!

  I pointed at him and said whatever came to mind. I was really panicking here.

  Shun: ...What an annoying woman.

  He replied and finally walked away.

  Yuu: Bye.

  I waved absentmindedly. I went inside my house though the front door. What waited for me there was my furious looking little brother, Kakeru.
