Since that day, Nikolas has been coming to my house three hours before night school started. At first, I started to feel guilty because he would have to wake up early, but he told me that he only sleeps to pass the time. When he comes over he’d show me the magic that he’s learning. Nikolas tells me how to cast the spell and what to do with my hands by guiding me with his own. Tonight, he was trying to teach me how to change water into ice.

Nikolas watched as I put my hand in front of the cup of water. Just then, the water in my cup turned frozen solid. I smiled and looked at Nikolas. 142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYKpKokRoV
“Good job.” 142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATa3PXTXkh
I smiled as I watched him clap his hands. I questioned, “Hey Nik, do your hands always feel cold?” I put my hand on top of his and felt his icy skin. His hand twitched and drew back. I froze, feeling confused. 142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVSjcgiBJN
Nikolas put his hand behind his head while getting off of my bed. “I need to go.”142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7ztLkhmbA
My heart became tinged with worry. “Alright, good night.”142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqiaGLeCGR
He nodded and flew into the starry night. 142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHANjRoWNB

“Akio, you’re doing it again.” Sen waved his hand in front of my face, but I didn’t pay any attention to him. 142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZnPAxANpY
Did I make him feel uncomfortable? I mean, he’s the one who kissed me so why would he flinch at me touching his hand?142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XV3wEYb94
“AKIO!” 142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJ8ixG9KEY
I shook my head and looked at Sen. “What?”142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMGMcvHTeS
“Geez, what’s on your mind now?”142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSurfOKQpN
I took a bite of my sandwich and sighed. “Have you ever had someone give you signals that they might like you, but when you try to get closer, they start to distance themselves?”142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEvU8rt8ml
Sen and Ryunosuke glanced at each other before staring at me. 142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTNQcHIlp8
Ryunosuke let out a deep sigh. “Akio is lovestruck.” He flipped the page of his book. I didn’t deny it and slammed my head on my desk. “Maybe you should tell that person how you feel?” 142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOE90JRVskO
“I don’t dare to do that…”142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Wxb7YWgVD
“Aww, Aki,” Sen patted my back. “It’ll never hurt to try.” 142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr12Ro7SXVx
I could only nod in response. There was a clenching sensation in my stomach. My hands trembled at the thought of rejection.142Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80mU3xyUGj

I tossed and turned in my bed, failing to fall asleep. My mind has been racing with horrible thoughts, thoughts that Nikolas doesn’t want to be friends anymore. I checked my phone to see if he would contact me. Seeing the green icon on my screen made my heart leap, but it wasn't Nikolas.
Acchan! Tomorrow night our school will be having a sports day. You wanna come and watch it?
Sports Day? Nik never mentioned that to me. Puzzled, I responded.
Isn't it dangerous for me to go on campus at night?
It'll be fine! I have a solution :D
Please come, it'll make Niky happy
Reading that made my chest hurt. Nervous as I was, this might be my chance to talk to him. I decided to go. Kazu replied eagerly and told me he would pick me up from my place tomorrow night.
I plugged my phone in and left it on my desk. Trying my best to suppress my anxious heart, I closed my eyes and fell asleep.
