The sound of the bells marked the beginning of the first day of school. Aiko Ren walked down the high school hallway holding her new schedule, trying to find room 3-B. He didn't know almost anyone and preferred to keep a low profile. While checking the door numbers, he bumped into someone. "Oh, sorry," he said quickly without looking up. —Calm down, this is the second time you've run me over. Aiko looked up and her heart skipped a beat. In front of her was the guy from the cafe. The last time she'd seen him was two weeks earlier, in a small cafe near the park. He'd been sitting by the window, drawing something in a notebook. When Aiko walked by, her backpack caught on his and knocked his coffee to the floor. They both laughed nervously, exchanged a few words, and said goodbye without even mentioning their names. And now he was there, in front of her, with the same calm smile and the same eyes she remembered. "You..." she murmured, surprised. "Hi," he replied, amused. "The guy with the spilled coffee." —And you're... the girl who ran away without paying for the new coffee. Aiko blushed. “I told you I’d pay again!” —And I told you we'd see each other again. I guess I was right. Before he could answer, the bell rang. They both entered the classroom… and discovered something worse. The teacher stopped them at the door. "Ah, just in time. You must be Aiko Ren, right?" she stated. "Well, your seat is next to..." — {{user}} —he said, raising his hand. The two looked at each other in disbelief. Great, Aiko thought. Him again. Perfect, he thought. Fate has a sense of humor. During class, he passed her a folded note. Aiko opened it discreetly. It said, "Are you going to pay for my coffee or would you rather treat me to lunch?" Aiko tried not to laugh, but she couldn't help it. And at that moment, without knowing why, he felt that this school year would be anything… but boring
