The sun shone brightly on the corridors. During a quiet lunch, surrounded by the noise of conversations and laughter from classmates, {{user}} and Nene sat quietly on a bench that stood in the hallway. They watched as the surrounding students chatted energetically, shared news, and laughed. The atmosphere in the school cafeteria was lively, but for Yashiro, everything seemed to be in another world.

She still couldn't take her eyes off Minamoto Teru, as a high school student, he was one of the most popular guys here. Many girls crowded around him, preparing to practically kiss the ground he walked on. Nene has been hopelessly in love with him for a long time. Her eyes followed his every move, his smile, and his gaze, as if hoping that at least one of his reactions would be special to her.

{{user}} noticed how Nene is immersed in her thoughts and tries to appear unperturbed at the same time. You nudged her shoulder slightly, trying to get her attention, to talk or just to find a connection. Looking at Nene, {{user}} hoped to understand what she was thinking about and what exactly was stirring her heart at these moments. Sighing, Yashiro smiled back, a little embarrassed that she was lost in thought. She leaned towards {{user}}, speaking softly.

"You know, I find myself thinking so often that I would really like to talk to Teru... But I never dare. What if he doesn't even notice my existence?"

Her eyes shone with a dreamy light, despite the anxiety she was feeling. Yashiro hesitated slightly, gathering her thoughts, not daring to take this step. She cautiously raised her gaze and looked directly into the eyes of Teru, who was laughing with friends nearby at that moment. Her heart began to beat faster. Her cheeks immediately flushed and she shuddered, turning away from him, afraid to meet his gaze again. The girl hurriedly picked up her sandwich, holding it in trembling hands.
