**Kenta’s POV**
Kenta walked briskly to the library, his mind swirling with thoughts of Miyuki. The school festival had been a whirlwind, but the most striking memory from that day was how Miyuki had looked when they talked. It was as if, for a brief moment, the world had narrowed down to just the two of them. The warmth of her smile and the ease of their conversation had left an indelible mark on him.
*I can’t believe how much I’ve been thinking about her,* Kenta mused, his steps quickening with each thought of Miyuki. *Every time I see her smile, it’s like everything else fades away. I’ve never felt this way about anyone before.*
As he approached the library, he felt a flutter of excitement mixed with nerves. The previous interaction with Miyuki had been more meaningful than he’d anticipated. Their laughter, the way she had looked at him—it had stirred something inside him that he hadn’t expected.
*I hope I didn’t come across as too eager at the festival.* He tried to calm his racing thoughts. *I just want to be around her more. I want to understand her better and see where this connection could lead.*
When Kenta entered the library, he saw Miyuki at their usual table, engrossed in her notes. Her focused expression was both endearing and distracting. *She’s so dedicated. I admire that about her,* Kenta thought as he made his way to the table.
“Hey, Miyuki,” he said, his voice slightly more enthusiastic than usual. *Don’t let her see how nervous I am. Just act natural.*
Miyuki looked up and greeted him with a smile that made Kenta’s heart skip a beat. “Hi, Kenta! Ready for another study session?”
Kenta nodded, trying to suppress the surge of affection he felt. *Her smile is like a breath of fresh air. I need to focus on our studies, but it’s hard not to get distracted by how amazing she is.*
As they began their study session, Kenta found it difficult to concentrate on the material. His thoughts kept drifting back to Miyuki. *I’ve never felt this way about anyone before. The way she listens, the way she talks—it’s like she’s always been a part of my life, and I just didn’t know it until now.*
During a break, Kenta seized the opportunity to voice his feelings. He had been wrestling with how to express himself without coming across as too forward, but the intensity of his emotions left him no choice.
“Miyuki,” Kenta began, his voice unsteady but sincere, “I’ve been thinking about us since the festival. I really enjoyed our time together. It was... different. I don’t usually feel this way, but I want to spend more time with you, not just for studying, but to get to know you better.”
He watched Miyuki’s reaction closely, his heart pounding in his chest. *Please, let her feel the same way. I can’t stop thinking about her, and I want her to know how much she means to me.*
Miyuki looked up, her eyes widening with surprise and something else—perhaps happiness. “I enjoyed it too, Kenta. I’d like that.”
Kenta felt a wave of relief and joy wash over him. *She feels the same way. This is more than I could have hoped for.* He smiled, feeling his worries ease. “I’m really glad to hear that. I’ve been wanting to tell you how much I appreciate your company.”
As they resumed their study session, Kenta’s mind was a flurry of excitement and hope. *This feels like the start of something special. I want to see where this goes. I hope we can continue to build on what we’ve started and explore our relationship further.*
The study session ended on a positive note, and Kenta walked home with a sense of excitement about the future. *This feels like the beginning of something special. I’m eager to see where this path with Miyuki will lead.*
