It’s the same old.
The bespectacled girl would be sitting at her desk night after night, studying for both her academics and literature quotes. For the start, it wouldn’t have been bothering the Banana in the same room as her. But slowly, the yellow-haired girl grew impatient whenever she heard the flipping of the pages.
Thinking back to how amicable the other girls were, being ‘friendly’ to each other and all, including the occasional skinship Futaba and Kaoruko had the other day when they were sharing the lunchbox together, the girl finally let out a loud groan which surprised Junna.
“Are you alright? You’re feeling a little stuffy right now?” Junna spoke after glancing Nana in the eye, returning to her books.
“Not really.. Just thinking about some stuff.”
The answer was short and simple, so why couldn’t the girl get over it that easily?
That’s it!
Standing up, she walked over to her bench and reached out for her smartphone. Tapping on the ‘Alarm’ option, she got close to the other girl. Stooping down to her shoulders, Nana exhaled a short breath into Junna’s ears.
“What..is it?” A quivering voice could be heard.
“Would you be so kind as to lend me 15 seconds of your time?” Nana asked with a soft tone, one that’s hardly heard whenever others are around. Junna kind of missed this side of Nana and she gave in to her request almost immediately.
And so the countdown began, it started with a ruffling of hair, followed by a warm hug from the back and just when Nana’s lips were about to touch the skin of Junna’s cheeks, the alarm went off.
“Oopsie, I guess 15 seconds is already up huh?” The Banana happily retreated back from her position before a hand touched her.
“But I didn’t say you can stop.”
Something seemed to go off in Nana’s mind, as she found herself stuttering and fidgeting at the same spot. This aggressive Junna was not in her written script and she found troubles facing the girl.
“Nana, you’re not moving. Are you perhaps..a little shocked at my forwardness?” The class-rep chuckled while the fruit still struggled to form coherent statements from her mouth.
“You know.. If you’re not ready to begin, I can finish the act for you.” Junna stood up from her seat and walked calmly to the taller girl, wearing a confident smile only she could have at that point in time.
If both were to be on that stage, Hoshimi Junna would’ve already won, with her arrow shot straight into Nana’s heart.
15 seconds was no longer the time limitation. As the two girls continued to go deeper into the night with their affairs, time seemed to stop for the both of them.
It won’t be a repeat stage for Junna, and definitely not one for the director herself as well.
