CHAPTER 4RENA'S POV As Rena entered her house, the living room was dark except a dim light shine at the kitchen table and a cup of ramen with a small note was left. It must be her aunt who's working on a night shift at a private hospital. Rena's aunt is a nurse and she is currently staying with her aunt since her parents is staying at Nagoya. Rena moved to Tokyo at the end of September because her mom insists her to accompany her aunt who's living alone here. Well to be honest, Rena is happy to stay with with her young aunt, since their age gap wasn't so wide, they were more like sisters rather than aunt-siblings relationship.
"Eat this for supper if you're hungry, I know its kinda bad since you're studying and stuff. But hey, once in a while wont hurt you 
" Rena smiled and tried to pull out the note out from the ramen. Its hard when you're wearing gloves......... GLOVES??
"Oh my god! It's Jurina senpai's glove!!," exclaimed Rena while pulling the gloves out. I wonder if she noticed that her gloves is at mine. Why do I burdened her so much?, thought Rena while gently knocking her head, feeling like a baka.
Rena changed into her pyjamas and lay down on her bed. She put the gloves at her bedside table, next to the nametag, so that when she woke up, she'll see those two things first and never forgets about them. Rena recalled about what happened just now. She still think things are happening so fast. I mean, Jurina, one of the famous ikemen looking girl, just walked back home with Rena? And this wasnt their first encounter. It was fourth, if you added with the time when she knocked down all her books with Jurina. Surely, it would be a lie, if you don't feel a thing if you're talking to Jurina. I mean, literally almost the whole girls in school adores her so much. But recently, Rena have been feeling quite different. Besides respecting and admiring Jurina as a senior, she's been feeling this doki doki feeling in her heart.
Doki doki, smirked Rena, what a childish words though. Rena yawned and switch off her bedlamp. Rena reminds herself before shutting her eyes, give back Jurina's glove, don't forget that! Rena didnt know if its a dream or her imagination is running wild, she saw Jurina smiling cheerfully and waving at her to come over. And then everything went still.
The next day, Rena almost missed the train. She overslept. So much for the alarm clock which suddenly isnt functioning that well. Thank God when she arrived at school the bell didnt rang yet. She went straight to her locker and found her best friend , Churi chatting with Airin near her locker.
"Rena! You were a little late today!," exclaimed Churi
"Yeah, I overslept...My alarm clock didnt work that well," said Rena, still half panting since she ran in to the school grounds thinking that she'll be late. Rena took out the gloves from her coat pocket. Should I gave it before class starts? thought Rena, while staring at the gloves.
"Is it your gloves?,"asked Airin in a puzzled tone, " For all I know you never wore gloves before since you ALWAYS forgets them."
Rena gave a small laughed and was about to tell them about the gloves when Churi nudged both of them and said, " Wow look, Jurina senpai and her friends... Sae-san is so cool. Mayu's cool too,"
"I heard Mayu's a tsundere," said Airin still staring at three of them who's walking at the locker corridors.
Rena who was holding the gloves, immediately shove it into her locker, and staring hard at the books inside her locker. She doesn't want Jurina to noticed her yet. She could sense the three of them footsteps getting nearer and came to a halt, when suddenly a rushing of footsteps could be heard running to the spot behind Rena.
" Senpai.... ohayo," said a girl behind her. Rena doesn't really know who but it must be one of Jurina's fans.
"Take this bento please. I made it for you this morning. I even woke up early to make it," plead the girl behind her.
Jurina accepted the bento and said "thanks" to the girl and left with her friends. By Jurina's tone, Rena knew Jurina had no choice to accept the bento since everyone's eyes was on her and.... well, Jurina is a very nice person. She won't say no for a thing. Rena suddenly feel a slight twinge of...annoyance? towards the girl. Rena turned to her right and saw Jurina and her friends went up the stairs to their class.
"Tch , what a desperate girl, " said Churi folding her arms, " I bet Jurina senpai must be tired of those gifts."
" Well, Annin really likes Jurina, " said Airin while observing her bangs in the mirror, " Come on lets go to class before the bell rings."
Rena planned to make a quick dash to her locker right after the recess bell rings but as usual she couldn't be quicker than her classmates who completely ran to the cafeteria as if they've never eaten for a thousand years.
"Rena-chan , where are you going?," asked Churi after they head out from their class.
"You guys go first, I left my melonpan in my locker," replied Rena. Well it wasn't a lie though, she really did left her melonpan in her locker but its okay since she's planning to take the gloves too.
"Oh , okay, catch you later, " shrugged off Churi and she swing one arm to Airin's shoulder and left without being curious.
The locker hall was kinda empty, there's only the janitor and a couple of girls and boys talking near their locker. Rena opened her locker and took out her melonpan and the gloves. She folded the gloves neatly and put inside her coat pocket. She locked back at her locker and heard shuffled of feets from the right and saw Jurina and her two friends talking while holding their bento, while Jurina was holding a melonpan too. Rena stood bewildered and stunned for a moment so she did not move and stood there like a stone for a while. Who wouldn't notice this awkward girl standing like a stone near her locker staring at them.
"Rena-san !," cried Jurina from afar. She heard Jurina said something like, "you guys go ahead", " i'll be there later". She also saw Mayu nudging Sae and they're giving this weird giggling smile to Jurina. Jurina came to Rena who stood there looking taken aback, while Mayu and Sae went upstairs to the rooftop.
"H-hey....Rena-san?," waved Jurina infront of her eyes, " You here?"
"H-hai...eto..your gloves," murmured Rena, while rummaging her pocket to take out the gloves.
"Yada..... you can keep it!," said Jurina, putting one hand at the locker and the other hand in her pocket. She look so cool, thought Rena, and so close to me!
"Eee? B-but its your gloves!, " exclaimed Rena still trying to give back Jurina's gloves, " your hands will get cold too if you don't wear them."
"Haven't I told you last night that you need it more than I do?," said Jurina chuckling a little, "Besides, I'm 99.9% sure that you weren't wearing one since I saw you earlier this morning...and.... you were.. running?"
Greaaaaaat , Rena thought, this is so embarassing, Jurina saw her running to school. Well she did ran like a girl being chased by a dog earlier. That must've looked weird.
" I thought it was late already, " said Rena looking down at her shoes, too embarassed to see Jurina's twinkling eyes.
"Did you overslept or something? Thinking to much last night?," asked Jurina. Rena wondered if Jurina was talking about their walk-back-home-together thingy or not.
"Yeah.... my alarm clock broke down suddenly," trailed on Rena, and she slowly looked up to Jurina and see her smiling a little, " Umm ... are you sure you don't want your gloves back?"
Jurina flapped her hands and shooked her head, " Nahh... keep it. I have another 2 pairs at home. Umm, say.... are you going back home at 3pm too, today?"
"Y-yeah, " nodded Rena, wondering why she's asking it. Could it be--- ?
" Umm... w-wanna go back home together?" asked Jurina, slightly stammering and blushing a little, " I mean if you're busy and you got other stuff to do, its ok. I was just aski--"
"Ok, " Rena replied shortly, glancing quite a few times at Jurina. Well she felt her cheeks are boiling!! This is not a good sign. Well, since Rena is white, I mean like almost chalk white, and if she blush, it'll be easy to see.
"Really?," Jurina sounded astonished and happy at the same time, " I mean, you're free?"
" Yeah, I don't have anything to do today besides tonight's tuition again," answered Rena truthfully.
"Awesome, then I'll see you at the front gate later. C-could you umm..wait for me if I'm slightly late?" asked Jurina, frowning a little.
" Okay....," Rena nodded and Jurina split into a huge smile. That smile could make an ice melt, thought Rena.
"Then, I'll see you later I suppose? You should eat that melonpan now," Jurina pointed at Rena's melonpan using her own melonpan, " Guess you like melonpan too eh?"
"H-hai. I'll go now, " Rena bowed and made like a 3 second eye contact with Jurina before both of them blushed like crazy, Rena walked quickly heading to the cafeteria. Rena made a left turn to the washroom for a while. She clasped her cheeks, her heart having this doki doki feeling again. She thought, is this really happening? She was about to go out from the washroom after washing her hands when a group of five people came in the washroom , led by, Annin, blocking her way.
"Where are you going so fast missy?," said Annin, slowly walking to Rena, " You'd think you'll get away with what you did earlier?"
Rena was astounded. Did Annin saw her and Jurina earlier? Rena stared at the other four girls behind her, looking damn mean, staring at her. Rena felt like a tiny ant now. I'm doomed, thought Rena.
