Chan.

"Hey, Sakiko-san. We should now go to our destination-" I pressed her, but she didn't seem to budge.

"Kanako-kun, your school is so big! I am jealous. It looks extravagant." She cut off my speech. I couldn't understand what her motives was. I just wanted to leave this place as soon as possible. I could cry if Ayane-chan sees this. Will she ever forgive me if she does?

"It's nothing like that, really. Yours is more beautiful than this school." I forced myself of an answer, otherwise things would get awkward. She had no intention of leaving this place for some reason, so I decided to take the lead by walking away from the front door.

"Where are you going?" She pouted and wrapped my arm with both of her hands without hesitation. It was making me feel uncomfortable, I wishedI could stay away from her. I have my personal boundaries, and I don't want her to break it.

But I couldn't let go of the hands. She was forcefully tightening the grip as I tried to let go. Her breasts were brushing on my arm, and any more tightening would make things more awkward and uncomfortable.

I also noticed my surroundings. Everyone walking by was looking at us, some of their eyes said that rumours are going to spread like wildfire tomorrow. If Ayane-chan didn't see me today, she would definitely listen to the rumours tomorrow.

"Let's go, Sakiko-san." I pressed again. This time she finally budged.

"Hmph. I ain't going until you call me -chan." She looked away.

"Okay... let's go... Sakiko-chan..." It hurt, very much... Ayane was the only one for whom I use the -chan suffix. Taking it away from that now made it less special.

Though a woman was right beside me wrapped around my arm, my head is filled with thoughts of only her, none else. It's like the night sky. There are many stars in the night sky, yes. But there is only one moon. I want that moon, my supermoon.

As I tried to walk again, Sakiko didn't force me to stop. But she took out her phone and took a selfie of us without my consent. Though I didn't particularly mind, it still made me weirded out.

I came to extract information from her, she knows it too. Is she gatekeeping the information just to have fun with me? If so, then why? I had too little answers to my questions, and each time the latter increases.
