…"No need" Nao spoke.
"Huh why?" I questioned slowly lowering my phone.
"Lunch will end by the time they get here, just tell them that" Nao said nonchalantly.
"Oh yeah that's true" I said raising my phone back up while looking at her awkwardly. As I looked at her I saw red ears, I wondered why but I thought it was just the heat or the awkward situation we were currently in.
For the rest of lunch me and Nao had sat there in silence while eating our food. Lunch ended and I met with Lana in our classroom although she had seemed kind of red.
"Do you have a fever Lana?" I said getting closer to her. She backed away and hesitantly said " N-no it's just really hot here" and awkwardly laughed. While her behavior seemed suspicious, I didn't want to pry so I let her of with a smug smile. Though I wondered why everyone was red today, maybe it really was because of the heat.
"So how was lunch alone with Nao" Lana said trying to change the subject. I started to act depressed.
"… we ate in an awkward silence for majority of lunch" I said and sighed. Lana looked at me confused.
" Well that's weird, according to Mika, Nao is a very sociable person especially to strangers since she is an heir to a big company and all." Lana said still confused, " did you do anything to warrant the silent treatment?".
"Well…" I explained to her what happened when we were getting up into the tree. Lana then looked at me with a smug face " w-what do you know why she was so awkward around me?" I asked nervously.
" oh nothing" Lana replied with a smug look still stuck on her face. " I can't believe even the amazing Nao can get embarrassed" Lana said whispering to herself.
"Lana what did you say?" I gave her a confused look. But Lana just ignored my question and reminded me that class was about to start.
After school in my dorm I sat at my desk, as I was about to start doing homework my phone pinged. It was Nao, I picked up my phone and opened Next Text which was the popular texting app that people at our age used.
" I'm sorry I was so awkward today at lunch I'm usually not like that ;-;" was Nao's message. I chuckled and thought so she actually was worried about that. I started texting back
"Oh no it's alright, although if you really feel bad you could treat me to a meal ;)" I texted jokingly.
"OK, is this Saturday ok?" Nao replied seriously to which I quickly panicked and replied
" No it's ok you don't have to treat me I was just joking"
"No it's alright, I can have revenge for that awkward lunch too"
" Alright if you insist… but after we eat I'll treat you to desert" After that our conversation had gone on for another hour or so until I realized I had to go to work AND I still had unfinished homework to which had been further delayed because of my great roommate Maya.
The next day~~
Lana had been waiting outside the dorm building waiting for me. When I walked out Lana gave me a surprised and concerned look.
"You look really tired, what happened last night?" Lana asked curiously.
"Well it was a bit of me getting distracted and forgetting to do homework and majority of your great sister Maya's fault" Maya had kept annoying me about random things when she had found out I had been friends with her sister. I don't know how she found out but it also did not help that she already hated me before that.
" What kind of horrible past do you and your sister even have to hate each other so much…" I asked rhetorically. Lana stayed silent. " Anyways, I don't think today is going to be a fun day" I said trying to change the subject.
"You should probably take a nap during lunch, you have a pre-made lunch so you could just eat that throughout the day and nap for lunch" Lana said trying to give a suggestion.
"Yea maybe I should do that, the area that we found yesterday does seem like a really good napping place." I said, as we were walking to the main building, we heard someone yelling I looked to see who it was and since I had been sleep deprived I had a late reaction and by the time I had realized that it was Mika she was about to ram right into Lana.
