Chapter 1 - Lunch

The big clock that have been a beacon to the whole class has bestowed it's blessing when the long and short needle hit the upper central number within the circle-shaped object.

12:00 PM

As the divine number shown on student whom wearing a digital clock on their wrist, the teacher said "Alright, see you the day after tomorrow, I will not be recapping this topic and be ready for questions". The students sigh heavily and some even start asking around for revision from their friend. Then slightly amused, the teacher heads out to the hallway.

Skrrrrrt

The sound of chair dragging slowly approaching Haru's ear. Yuto had dragged his chair with himself on it to Haru's desk.

"Nee Haru, can you.... you know" Yuto ask politely with his hand behind his head. Haru's mouth just curve slightly and said "Of course buddy, but as usual I will be waiting for your surprise" with mischievous look on his face. "Hehe.. of course , just you wait" said Yuto with a smug look. "Well, I'm off" Haru said as he gets up from his chair.Haru then goes on his way out of the classroom.

Daiki who sat besides Yuto just watch the interaction between Haru and Yuto, let out a small laugh that only he can hear. He in his mind said they were always like this since last year but he doesn't get to watch it as his seat last year was situated at the front row of the class, away from them. Now, he get to watch this up close. Now, Haru's seat at the back row of the class on the most left beside the window and on the right is Yuto's and on Yuto's right is Daiki's. 

Yuto will always ask Haru's help to study and in return Yuto will give him something, sometimes a book or sometimes a meal, rarely the same thing consecutively. 

"What will you prepare this time?" Daiki ask."I don't know, lasagna maybe" 

"Damn son can i get some too"

"Depends" said Yuto with playful serious face.

Daiki just nod and be contend with the answer.

Meanwhile, Haru at the hallway, heading towards the stare just stare with -_- face at his opened wallet. "Well at least there is something, if i buy the egg onigiri I can survive till next week, ... maybe" he thought in his head. "Ahhhh f*ck it, we ball" he continue his step toward his destination.

As he continue to take his steps, his heart beat notably faster.

At the stairs, Thump Thump Thump

 Reach the ground floor, Thump Thump Thump Thump

As the distance between him and the destination shrinking, his heartbeat rate become more like an automated gun spraying bullet without stop.

And he arrived in front of the school's store, oddly this particular school's store not only sell the school's uniform and stationery but also simple food from outside's vendor such as onigiri, sandwich or some freshly baked cookies.

THUMPTHUMPTHUMPTHUMPTHUMP

His ear have become crimson red, his heart beating like crazy and his face full of blushes.

But then, he inhale deeply and his eyes show resolves. His face full of confidence , still have hint of blushes, enter the store. When he arrive at the rack near the counter, he sighed as he only sees Ume (Pickled Plum) Onigiri and Shio-musubi (Plain Salted) Onigiri, no egg onigiri on sight. Still he preferred Shio-musubi over Plum onigiri. He pick the onigiri and inhale deeply before he meet the real reason he goes to the school's store in the first place.

He take the brave step to the counter and put the onigiri.

He called out "Helper-san" with somewhat made-up confidence.

And then come out from the back "Hai~".

The moment the 'Helper-san' stepped out, he laid his eyes upon this magnificent sight, he froze.

The blood rushed to his head , the color red begin to overtake his fair skin , the ear has become a hot spot, he could feel the heat from his neck and the back of his ear. 

As if the time froze for him, he begin to admire what had his eyes laid upon, her hair, smooth like silk, black as charcoal yet it exude the beauty beyond his understanding, every strand of hair seems like a divine being that had beautifully crafted for her, the elegant of it made him thankful that he had been born on this world. Her face , every part seems so balanced yet extremely beautiful, every part seems crafted with careful detail, the color of his lips, her ear with hint of red (not blush), her adorable nose, her long eyelashes that seems so beautiful that you thought that it was made by professional, but upon a detailed look it is natural as god green earth when God had created this earth. Her eyes, her eyes is not something that mortal like himself could dabble in too long. He himself could not describe it perfectly.

As she step to the counter, he snapped out of his admiration of his mind. She scan the barcode on the back of the onigiri and stated the price.

As he preaching in to his wallet to pay for the onigiri, she said that "Onigiri again , huh"

"Ah,..... yes" he is SHOCKED that she had notice his routine.

"Well , I might be prying too much but try eat something else too, okay?"

"Yes Miss" without thinking he salute her with the same intensity as a soldier.

She chuckle at the sight as her schoolmate salute hard just like a soldier.

He realize that his action may be too dumb he quickly pick up the onigiri and said "Until next time, Helper-san" 

"My name is Sayuri"

"...,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Until next time, Sayuri-san"

"Hai~"

He stepped out of the store and quickly ran to a nearby stair. He stopped at a stair step panting.

He start freaking out , his face full of red and happiness.

'I finally get to talk to her'

'I finally GET to TALK to HER'

He then continue like this for a few seconds and then he inhale deeply.

'I must calm down'

He exhaleeeee.

His face look calm and then a small curve touch his lips.

"Sayuri-san" he said to himself.

While he doing all of this , another students that have pass this stairs look at him oddly but let it go due to the fact that he does not look dangerous just oddly look in love.

"Who's Sayuri?" a voice ask from the upper stair,

"Eh?" he looked upward at the source of the voice. 

Daiki with grin on his face laugh a little.
