Afternoon classes went surprisingly quickly that day, but it was probably because I was secretly reading manga on my phone and wasn’t paying attention at all. I waved goodbye to my friends who were going in the opposite direction for their respective club activities. Then I adjusted the straps of my bag over my shoulders and skipped down the stairs.

My head instinctively turned to the end of the hall. Roan was being approached by a guy who I knew was from the student council, holding out a clipboard. I c****d my head to the side. Council business, huh? He did seem busy these days.
Then he glanced up and our eyes met.
“Wendy, hi!” he shouted with a smile, waving at me.
I jumped, startled by his exuberance. Then I lamely waved back.
I watched him give the guy the clipboard back
