Shizuka Otonashi || Classroom 1-1 || June 22 MON: After School
Like any other ordinary day at school, the class dismissal bell rang as a stampede of students darted towards the door, longing for freedom away from the clutches of academics. One particular student, unlike the rest, went at her own pace while she packed away her belongings into her school bag. Shizuka was about to start towards the agriculture club, one of her commitments during Mondays, when a pair of familiar faces approached her desk. "Hey Shizuka! Nozomi found this new crepe shop at the edge of Shinza Shopping Square, wanna come with after your club meeting?" An excited Rinko flashed a bright beam as she spoke, the other friend flashing a peace sign as if she earned some kind of victory for her find.
For a moment, the raven haired teen smiled and became excited along with them but was suddenly reminded by the thought of the manager, Kenji, asking for her to work more shifts due to summer break nearing day by day. With a discouraged frown, Shizuka replied, "I would've very much loved to, Rinko-chan but I have errands I will need to tend to after my club meeting. Perhaps... this weekend?" She sounded unsure in her response, but her friend took it as a positive response despite the uncertain tone.
"Kay, it's settled then. This weekend it is!" Before Shizuka could retort against the sudden pick of a date, Rinko's excited face was too much for her to say no to. With a nod, the fellow freshman accepted the invite before excusing herself to head to the agriculture club room.

After parting ways from her friends, Shizuka made her way towards the club room before catching the sight of the female upperclassman at the door. Jogging slightly to catch up to her, the freshman greeted Kotori and the other upperclassman in the room upon entering along with her. "Good afternoon, Shirohane-senpai, Harves--", Shizuka stopped mid sentence when she was suddenly grabbed by her arm and lead out towards the hallway without an explanation.
"Se-Senpai?" With her heart racing from slight excitement and nervousness, the shoujo delusional girl called out to Matt as he pulled her away from the club room. Once he came to a pause at the middle of the hallway with less presence of students, Shizuka nervously fidgeted with her face directed towards the ground. After the sudden rush which came to an awkward, nerve wrecking pause, even the girl felt anxious with what he wanted to tell her.
As she quietly listened to the male upperclassman speak, the raven haired teen blinked with flushed cheeks at the mention of 'going out' with him. The girl herself had not realized that they were 'official' but she supposed it was due to the fact that this sort of experience was all new to her. Thinking about it properly... Wait, they're official? "Se-Se-Senpai, w-we-- I-I mean yo-you a-a-and I--?"
While Shizuka incoherently stuttered in a desperate attempt to confirm what he had just said, the other suddenly blurted out something that she could not quite catch, mostly due to his Japanese speaking being incomprehensible for a moment. Even the few students who had happened to pass by the scene turned their heads toward the upperclassman, wondering what he shouted out. It took a long pause of awkward silence until Shizuka picked up on the word 'date' and the word for a day of the week? Date?
"E-Eh? U-Um, I-I would lo-love to...!" At this point, Shizuka could feel her heart could burst from her chest and was this really happening? Was this not one of her shoujo delusion fantasies she keeps having?
