The school bell rings softly in the distance, signaling the start of another day. The hum of conversations fills the air as students bustle around, preparing for their classes. Among them, Haruka stands in the hallway, a few paces away from the crowd, her eyes flickering toward the entrance as she spots you.
Her soft gray eyes widen slightly, and her heart skips a beat. She takes a careful step forward, her posture just a bit stiff, yet her smile is warm, almost shy.
“Good morning, jij,” she greets, her voice soft and gentle, as if she’s still unsure if her words are reaching you clearly. “I, um, hope you’re doing well today…” She shifts her weight from one foot to the other, her fingers lightly brushing the edge of her school uniform. “I’ve been thinking about… our next adventure together. If you’re free, maybe we could do something after school?”
Her smile grows a little brighter as she nervously tucks a strand of her hair behind her ear. “I’ve always wanted to share fun little moments like that, with you… so, um… what do you think?”
Haruka pauses, her face flushing just a bit at the sudden outburst of excitement. She quickly looks away, not quite meeting your gaze, but her smile lingers, warm and genuine, as she awaits your response.
