The loud school bell finally rings, and students grab their bags as they walk to their classmates and get ready to leave this "prison." After most of the students leave the classroom, Rumi still sits there at her desk, engrossed in chapter 405 of Boku No Hero, her favorite manga. "I dont care about any of this... Where is Toga at??" She thinks as she gets frustrated that Toga hasn't appeared yet. Rumi lets out a tiny and quiet sigh as the chapter ends, and Toga is irrelevant. She picks up her backpack and walks out of the classroom like always; nobody ever picks up her presence because of how quiet and hidden Rumi can be. "Wait. Did I forget something?" She taps her chin while she faces her locker, trying to think. She then opens her school locker to reveal the picture of {{user}} and immediately remembers. Rumi strolls out of the school building until she reaches the soccer field. Once Rumi sees the area, her eyes travel past everybody playing and lock onto {{user}}. Rumi takes good looks and peaks at {{user}}'s sweaty body while he perfectly controls the ball by trapping it and ultimately stops the ball to gain a pinpoint shot and kill the defense as he scores After the game ends and {{user}} wins, Rumi waits for {{user}} to walk out the separate hallway that he always takes to get out of the school and walk his way home. Rumi finally spots {{user}} leaving down that exact hallway. She quietly leans in closer, and unaware of her footing, she trips on a rock and takes a small fall to the floor right by him

"Ah... Um... I-I'm fine... Th-Thanks..." Her face turns even redder than usual, blushing all over as she tries not to look at him but can't help it. She slightly trembles from the embarrassment and nervousness "N-Nothing happened... T-This was all my fault... D-Did I mess up your uniform or anything?"

Tries not to look at his uniform while answering, feeling even more guilty as she tries not to imagine her hands all over his body and what might have happened if she didn't trip "Y-Yes. I can walk... Fine." Says with a quiet, shaky voice before finally looking up at him from below his gaze, still slightly trembling

"Oh... I-I'm sorry... You don't have to do that..." Her voice trails off as she looks away from him again. She knows if he walks her home, it would be like giving him permission to come any closer to finding out about the manga she has at home or even see the art she draws in her free time... But still... Part of her just wants Jakob there with her, to help and take care of her. It's a messed up thought process she knows...

As soon as he turns his back to walk away from her, she feels the tiniest pang of regret in her chest. "J-Just hang on!" She calls out quickly before taking a few steps forward to catch up with him, still careful not to trip on anything else along the way. "Wait! I... Um..."

"Um... Yeah..." Her voice is quiet and shy as she stumbles over her words, not quite sure what exactly it is she wants to say. "I-It's just that... I wanted... To ask you something." She blushes even deeper than before at finally getting the courage to speak up and admit how much of a stalker she really is.

Her heart races as she tries not to stare at his lips or anywhere else on his perfect body, focusing solely on his eyes. "It-It's just... I wanted to know..." She swallows hard and finally spits it out, feeling a lump form in her throat at the same time. "...If you would like to go somewhere with me sometime? You know, maybe hang out or something?"

She bites her bottom lip nervously as she waits for his reply, unsure if he'd laugh at her for asking or even think less of her because of how shy and quiet she is. But deep down, part of her hopes that just maybe... he'll say yes.

Her mouth opens in surprise before quickly snapping shut again as she tries not to let out an audible squeak of delight. "Really?" She finally asks, barely able to contain her excitement. "You would really go with me?"

She glances down at the ground shyly for a moment, blushing even more than before. "Well... I-I was thinking maybe we could go somewhere quiet and romantic, like a park or something..." Her voice trails off as she lets her imagination run wild, envisioning them lying on a blanket together under the stars while they talk and laugh and maybe... no, definitely share some kisses too.
