Crossed path chapter 3

The students all got scared when the ground started shaking. The earthquake wasn't too strong, but it made everyone panic. Yesha was in the bathroom, feeling really scared. She ran out into the hallway, but then she felt dizzy and collapsed. Luckily, Ryota saw her and carried her on his back to safety. Everyone was surprised to see Ryota helping Yesha. Hiroki was happy to see that Yesha was okay. The earthquake stopped, and everyone was safe.

An ambulance came to help the students who were hurt. Yesha woke up in Ryota's arms, still feeling a bit dizzy. She hugged Ryota and said thank you. Ryota blushed a little and said, "You're welcome." He explained that he had to help, there was no other choice. Yesha understood and thanked him again.

After that, Ryota walked away without saying anything. Yesha shouted "Thanks again!" but Ryota kept walking. Hiroki and Tony came to check on Yesha. Tony hugged her and asked if she was okay. Yesha said she was fine. Tony talked to the teachers and found out that classes would only be suspended for one day.

Later, Tony asked Yesha about Hiroki, the boy she talked to earlier. Yesha said he was a good friend. Tony wasn't used to having guy friends, but she liked Hiroki. Yesha thanked Tony and said goodbye to Hiroki. She saw Ryota in the distance and wanted to thank him again, but she decided it was better not to say anything. They all went home and were greeted by their caretakers, who were worried but relieved that everyone was safe.

Yesha went to her room and saw her cat, Mochi, sleeping on her bed. She greeted Mochi and fed her. Then she took a shower and changed into her pajamas. She peeked out her window and saw Ryota on his balcony. She quickly closed the window, feeling embarrassed. Then she heard a notification on her phone. Yesha checked her phone and saw a message from Hiroki asking if she was okay after the earthquake. She smiled and replied that she was fine, thanking him for his concern. Then she received another message from Ryota, simply saying, "Glad you're okay." Yesha felt a mix of emotions as she read Ryota's message. She wasn't sure how to respond, so she decided to leave it unanswered for now.

Later that evening, Yesha joined Tony for dinner, and they discussed the events of the day. Tony expressed her relief that Yesha was safe and praised Ryota for his quick thinking in helping her during the earthquake. Yesha nodded in agreement, acknowledging Ryota's unexpected act of kindness.

Before she went to bed, Yesha sent a message to Ryota, thanking him once again for his help during the earthquake. She expressed her appreciation for his actions and the unexpected gesture of kindness. After which she went to bed and drifted off to sleep.

In the morning, Yesha woke up happily, and her nanny knocked on her door to have breakfast. Yesha answered yes, got out of bed, and prepared her things. After preparing her belongings, she opened the window and took a deep breath. After a few moments, she saw Ryota downstairs, who also opened his window. Ryota's house was small compared to Yesha's large and wealthy one. Ryota's life was simple, unlike Yesha's.

When Ryota opened the window, Yesha and Ryota looked at each other and smiled playfully. Ryota smiled with his eyes closed and blushing cheeks. Yesha screamed and her face turned red. Yesha quickly closed the windows as if she had been startled. She turned around, took a deep breath as if she had seen a ghost, and her heart raced. She blushed even more and held her chest with both hands as if having a heart attack. It was the first time Yesha saw Ryota smile, bringing with it a sense of handsomeness, making her heart beat faster than before. Yesha is starting to wonder, as if she is not herself and feeling confused. Tony is eating and waiting for Yesha to come down. He notices that Yesha still hasn't come down and says, "Nanny, please call Yesha upstairs. I've been waiting for her here, and my food is almost gone." The nanny responds, "Yes, ma'am," and walks towards Yesha's room. Meanwhile, Yesha is still unable to resist thinking about Ryota, holding her chest and breathing deeply as if she can't breathe. The nanny knocks on the door, and Yesha suddenly turns around, slightly surprised, and says, "Wh-what?" The nanny answers, "Ma'am Yesha, ma'am Tony called you to eat. She has been waiting for you since earlier." "I'm coming," Yesha says. The nanny leaves without saying anything, seemingly disrespectful, while Yesha can't stop her thoughts, so she tries to calm herself down by breathing deeply. Yesha breathes easily, her heart rate slows down, she stands up, goes down the stairs, sits down, and eats as if nothing happened.

Tony is surprised and says, "Why did you take so long to come out?" Yesha stops eating, chuckles a bit, and says, "Hehehe, me? I was just looking for something." Tony is still puzzled, and instead of asking further, she just tells her to hurry up and eat because she's late for school. In a few moments, Yesha stood up immediately and said, 'I'm leaving now.' Tony replied, 'Okay, take care.' Yesha waved and got into the car and left. While they were traveling, Yesha saw Ryota walking towards school, wearing headphones and using his cellphone.

Yesha quickly thought whether she should offer Ryota a ride in the car or just leave him walking. Yesha was hesitant and confused, so she told her bodyguard, 'Stop the guy walking.' The bodyguards nodded and stopped. Ryota didn't notice the car stopping beside him. Yesha opened the car window, smiled, and said, 'Hi, would you like to ride with me?' Ryota didn't immediately notice as he was wearing headphones and focused on his cellphone (...). Yesha then instructed her bodyguards to follow the guy, and the bodyguards nodded and followed him. Yesha always waved at him and said, 'Hey!...' Ryota still didn't hear no matter what she did. Ryota blushed slightly, turned around, and after a moment, he sighed and said, "fine." Yesha smiled and said, "Oh, what are you waiting for? Get in." Ryota walked to the other side of the vehicle, got in, and the car left for school. While they were traveling, Ryota put on his headphones and focused on his cellphone again, while Yesha gazed at Ryota as if melting in her sight. As Yesha was looking at Ryota, Ryota suddenly turned to look at her. Yesha was surprised when Ryota quickly turned to look at her. In turn, Yesha quickly looked out the window without looking back and as if nothing was seen.

They then arrived at their school, Ryota thanked Yesha for offering him a ride. "You're Welcome." Yesha said, then Ryota went inside of the school, he was greeted by his friends. Yesha was left alone but then she was greeted by Hiroki. They went into their classroom together, along the way, Hiroki asked Yesha if she was ok after the Earthquake. Yesha replied and said she was good.

When they arrived at their classroom, Their Professor was already there. They said sorry because of being late. Their Professor said that they were not late, he just came in early to announce something. Hiroki and Yesha was relieved and sat down on their desks. Their Professor then called Ryota in front of the class, he then gave him a Certificate of Appreciation for saving Yesha from the Earthquake.

Everyone clapped for Ryota. Shortly after, the class started. After the class, it was recess. Yesha and Hiroki along with some of their classmates went to the cafeteria. While eating, Yesha saw Ryota and she courageously went to him. She thanked him again for saving her and for texting her if she was ok. Ryota laughed along with his friends and said "You really thought I texted you?" Yesha was confused and said "Then who was the texting me?". Ryota then pointed at his friend, Yesha then walked to Ryota's friend and slapped him in the face. Ryota was shocked on what Yesha did to his friend, "If you didn't offer me a ride earlier, I would have punched you by now" Ryota said "Are you that childish to punch a girl's face?" Yesha replied.

"Yesha offered you a ride earlier? Uyyyy something's happening between them!" Ryota's friends said, "No! I just couldn't reject the offer" Ryota replied "Why though?" Ryota's friends replied. Then Yesha walked out of the scene angrily, "I should've trusted a boy like him" Yesha Said in her mind.

She went back to her table with Hiroki. Shortly after, the bell rang signaling for their return in their classrooms. While walking down the hallway, they saw a girl crying. They approached the girl and suddenly the girl ran away from them. Yesha and Hiroki chased down the girl, then the girl suddenly slipped and fell on the floor. Yesha and Hiroki helped the girl to stand up.

Turns out she was a new student at their school and she was their classmate, "My name is Sakura" The girl said, "Nice to meet you, Sakura" Yesha said. Then they went to the classroom to start a new class.⚫
