The next day at school, Jun was trying to avoid Yuki as much as possible. He was still mortified by the previous day's events and couldn't bring himself to face her.123Please respect copyright.PENANAC7zmBEeB7h
123Please respect copyright.PENANAcwZdpbF9Xm
As he was walking through the hallway, he bumped into Aiko, a girl he'd only ever seen in passing. She was known for her eccentric style and her slightly unsettling obsession with Jun.123Please respect copyright.PENANAu1wEyBnyir
123Please respect copyright.PENANAGzo8L7WxXZ
"Jun!" Aiko exclaimed, her eyes sparkling with an intensity that made Jun uncomfortable. "I've been waiting for you."123Please respect copyright.PENANARMQImDnYin
123Please respect copyright.PENANAN46ZSIyrA8
"Uh, hi, Aiko," Jun said, trying to back away. "What's up?"123Please respect copyright.PENANAYJHXuOCtsf
123Please respect copyright.PENANAY1hFpTCGTy
"I have something for you," Aiko said, holding out a small box wrapped in red velvet. "It's a gift."123Please respect copyright.PENANAhZcqcSaQXi
123Please respect copyright.PENANAPGnN9wAUja
Jun hesitated. He didn't like the way Aiko was looking at him, but he didn't want to be rude.123Please respect copyright.PENANAPpTJynhkJP
123Please respect copyright.PENANAZAOjjAYmXq
"Thanks," he said, taking the box.123Please respect copyright.PENANAJ7RnTXtwP5
123Please respect copyright.PENANAG8fNRWOdEc
Aiko smiled, her eyes gleaming. "I made it myself. Just for you."123Please respect copyright.PENANAHQFAzhfCB1
123Please respect copyright.PENANAU2xbFYcG8s
Jun opened the box. Inside, he found a small, heart-shaped box of chocolate. But something about the chocolate looked... off. It had a strange, almost metallic sheen to it.123Please respect copyright.PENANA78cXE0n6wz
123Please respect copyright.PENANADXtHPeaPVY
"What is this?" Jun asked, his voice trembling slightly.123Please respect copyright.PENANAdQIfEaEGBK
123Please respect copyright.PENANAHIhgChfvti
"It's my special chocolate," Aiko said, her voice dropping to a whisper. "I put a little something extra in it."123Please respect copyright.PENANAEMbR57IEeR
123Please respect copyright.PENANASSkSmwOX0X
Jun looked at her, his eyes wide with suspicion. "What do you mean, 'a little something extra'?"123Please respect copyright.PENANAJFKHs9QZnq
123Please respect copyright.PENANAS8MeqYX26L
Aiko leaned in close to Jun, her breath hot on his cheek. "I put a little bit of my blood in it," she whispered. "I wanted to give you a piece of my heart."123Please respect copyright.PENANAe7ODwBvVZK
123Please respect copyright.PENANAPOUIFLP3Js
Jun recoiled in horror. "What?!" he screamed, dropping the box of chocolate. "Are you crazy?!"123Please respect copyright.PENANA1YnmMixLb1
123Please respect copyright.PENANAoiIj4z65ge
Aiko's smile widened. "I'm only crazy about you, Jun."123Please respect copyright.PENANA1oZP1tGUUC
123Please respect copyright.PENANAJxeVtoEr68
Jun turned and ran, his heart pounding in his chest. He couldn't believe what he had just seen. Aiko was seriously disturbed.123Please respect copyright.PENANAAvqJjss72Z
123Please respect copyright.PENANASlf3kTgGYS
He ran all the way to the library, where he could finally catch his breath. He was still shaking, his mind reeling from the encounter.123Please respect copyright.PENANAYkRGSRNMSm
123Please respect copyright.PENANArKt3tH4inZ
"Jun, what's wrong?" Hana asked, her voice filled with concern. She had been watching him from across the room.123Please respect copyright.PENANAJWDnAugsBI
123Please respect copyright.PENANAmuqc7TBjF2
Jun didn't know what to say. He couldn't tell her about Aiko's blood-infused chocolate. It was just too weird, too embarrassing.123Please respect copyright.PENANAIO7f3xxhP7
123Please respect copyright.PENANAox1d6s6Y2H
"It's nothing," he mumbled, trying to brush it off.123Please respect copyright.PENANA71zJbvBm7G
123Please respect copyright.PENANAt4L09xvsW8
Hana didn't believe him. "You're shaking," she said, reaching out to touch his arm. "Tell me what's wrong."123Please respect copyright.PENANAdQetBxRE8Q
123Please respect copyright.PENANAoBXuWFoePd
Jun sighed. He knew he couldn't keep it from her any longer. He told her about Aiko's chocolate, about the metallic sheen, about the blood.123Please respect copyright.PENANAqBQWLxnC5d
123Please respect copyright.PENANAfzFXKR7kND
Hana's eyes widened in horror. "That's... that's insane!" she exclaimed. "You need to stay away from that girl."123Please respect copyright.PENANAjshIw6riQs
123Please respect copyright.PENANAQFFJN94Cg8
Jun nodded, his face pale. He had never felt so creeped out in his life.123Please respect copyright.PENANAAoZTiM9yEi
123Please respect copyright.PENANAPFrsxEWZo4
"I'm going to talk to Yuki about this," Hana said, her voice firm. "She needs to know what's going on."123Please respect copyright.PENANABBHXzgWFaM
123Please respect copyright.PENANA9rx05TBASe
Jun was grateful for Hana's support. He knew he couldn't handle this alone.
