Lunch went on, and I really enjoyed it. Hoshi and I talked in depth about pastries. Daichi told some jokes every once and awhile. Akira poked fun whenever he could, and Nao was a comforting presence.
I felt... carefree.
When was I last time I felt like this?
However, all too soon, the bell rung, and lunch was over.
"I gotta go excuse myself from tutoring." I said after the bell finished ringing.
"You're not doing it today?" Akira asked, seeming slightly surprised.
"Well, I didn't exactly have the time to look over the material the last two days." I sighed. Akira nodded in understanding. "If I don't comeback, know that I've been trapped into it anyway." I grumbled.
"You're a bit of a pushover, huh, Haru?" Nao said bluntly with no ill will.
I merely gave an obviously fake smile before leaving.
Nao's the perceptive one. That's what I've learned. He's also one not to hold back.
