Somehow got sidetracked on this; it was meant to be short, and somehow the story had a life of it's own then I wanted it to be short, so some bits will seem very abrupt

For KojiYuu week, Day 1
KojiYuu Week Day 1
SelfieYay! Haruna cheered mentally as she quickly made her way to an empty seat in the train.
My legs are tired after all that cleaning…In the midst of swiping at her phone screen, she felt a sudden weight on her shoulder.
“Hm?”
The other student had fallen asleep, his head landing on her shoulder.
What school is he from? Haruna wondered at the unfamiliar uniform as she studied his appearance.
He looks really tired though…“I guess I can lend him my shoulder to rest on for a while,” Haruna smiled to herself.
Ooh wait! Let me take a pic to show Mari-chan!Holding her phone up, she snapped swiftly a selfie of her and her sleeping seatmate.
Little did she know, that simple photo would end up creating so much chaos in her life.
The next day“Oi Kojima!” Haruna found herself cornered by a group of girls. “What do you think you’re doing!”
“Huh?”
“Stop acting dumb!” She was grabbed by the front of her blouse. “You think you’re so funny? Quit trying to steal our boyfriends!”
Haruna panicked when she saw the other girl ready to get violent. “W-Wait!”
“What?”
“W-Why would I try to steal your boyfriend? I-I already have a boyfriend!” Haruna lied and she held out her phone, showing the selfie that she had taken in the train yesterday. “S-See!”
The gathered girls fell silent upon seeing the photo.
“… That’s your boyfriend?” The ring leader said in disbelief. “But…”
“She must be lying!”
“But the photo doesn’t look photoshopped!”
The girls whispered amongst themselves for a bit before Haruna was released.
“We’ll let you off, for now… don’t tell anyone this happened!”
The gang quickly rushed off.
Haruna sighed in relief.
I can't believe that really worked!End of the school dayHaruna was walking slowly out of the school gates when a loud commotion snapped her out of her daydream.
“Ms. Kojima! Do you have a few minutes?” A reporter shoved a microphone at her.
“What?” Haruna was blinded by all the camera flashes. “What’s going on?”
“Sorry,” She felt a warm hand grip hers and she was led away into the school grounds. “She’s with me.”
Girl is being led away…“Acchan!” Haruna beamed at her childhood friend Maeda Atsuo. “Why are there so many reporters outside?”
“You really don’t know?” Atsuo looked at her worriedly. “You–”
“Excuse me,” A new voice cut in. “But I believe that you’re with my girlfriend.”
Both Atsuo and Haruna turned to face the new arrival.
Haruna stared.
She then took a look around.
Girlfriend? But there isn’t anyone else around; Acchan definitely wouldn’t be called his girlfriend even if they were dating because, duh… Oh wait, but with all the newfangled things youngsters are up to these days… maybe…“You’re dating Acchan?!”
Atsuo grimaced as he mimed gagging to show his disgust. “Him? Over my dead body!”
“Hahah…” The other guy clapped his hands. “You’re always so funny Haruna.”
“Don’t call her ‘Haruna’ like you know her so well!”
“Why can’t I call my
girlfriend by name?”
Atsuo and the other guy then ended up in an intense glaring battle, allowing Haruna to have some time to think.
Wait, if he doesn’t mean Acchan… Her eyes widened in realization.
“Wait, you mean me?” She pointed at herself. “But–”
“I think you are needed elsewhere Maeda.” The guy cut in with a dismissive wave at Atsuo. “Shoo.”
“Why you…!”
“It’s alright Acchan!” Haruna hurriedly stepped in between the two of them. “You left your Student Council meeting halfway didn’t you? You know those guys can’t function without you there, go on; I’ll be fine.”
“Are you really sure?”
“We’re just going to talk, and if anything happens I’ll scream so that you can jump down from like, the third floor to my rescue okay?” Haruna poked Atsuo’s cheek. “Now go, you know how Mari-chan will react if she doesn’t have the event plans on her desk by tomorrow.”
“Fine,” After more grumbling from him and a gentle shove from Haruna, Atsuo finally huffed. “But I’ll be watching!”
“And as for you…” Atsuo reluctantly left with a final warning glare. “Don’t try anything funny Oshima…”
“So…” Haruna started when Atsuo was out of sight. “Who are you?”
Yuu resisted his extreme urge to facepalm. “You don’t know who I am and yet you still–”
“That’s alright,” Haruna smiled. “I can tell that you’re a nice person.”
“You are so wrong…” Muttering under his breath, Yuu looked away.
“Hehe…” Haruna teased. “Are you blushing?”
“I am not!” Yuu said hotly, his cheeks flushing red. He tried to change the subject. “You really don’t recognize me?”
“Hmm…” Haruna stared at him.
Yuu waited somewhat patiently, bracing himself for the usual ‘girls throwing themselves at him’ response.
“Oh wait!” She finally connected the dots. “You’re the guy from the train! I didn’t recognize you with your eyes open! Why are you here?”
What? Ah well, I might as well get straight to the point. “The reason why I’m here is because of this…” Yuu opened the news website on his phone and passed it over to her.
The headlines for the latest society gossip had “Oshima Yuu is dating?!” accompanied by the selfie from the train.
“Ah!” Haruna remembered how one of the girls had fiddled with her phone for a while before it was returned to her. “That’s probably because…”
KojiYuu is talking… explanation time…“I didn’t know they would post that photo up online!” Haruna bowed. “I’m really sorry! … Although I don’t know why there is such a big fuss over it.”
“Well…” Yuu felt a strange need to impress the girl standing before him. “That’s because I am Oshima Yuu. Do you know who I am?”
“Yeah… you just told me, didn’t you?” Haruna tilted her head to one side, confused. “Why?”
“I’m the scion of the Oshima family! Haven’t you heard of Oshima Enterprises?”
“I have. I think...” Haruna continued sympathetically. “Life must be really tough huh? Needing to juggle your studies and helping out with the family business.”
“Yes, it can get rather– wait,” Yuu realized he was being sidetracked. “That isn’t important! I-I’m Oshima Yuu!”
“Yeah I heard you the first time, why?”
"Oshima Yuu, you know?"
What is wrong with this girl? Doesn’t she know who I am?"Yeah, why?"
Someone has been watching a little too much Frozen… This time, Yuu did facepalm. “Okay, let me explain; basically the whole world believes that we’re in a relationship and are secretly dating.”
“Right… we can just tell the truth and straighten it out, no biggie.”
“That’s where the problem lies,” Yuu said. “My grandmother even called and told me to bring you back to meet her. She’s… not as young as she once was and I’d like to avoid disappointing her.”
Not to mention that she won’t take no for an answer…“Eh?” Haruna froze. “But how? We aren’t dating!”
“That can be easily fixed.” Yuu gave her a winning smile. “Be my girlfriend.”
