When I got to school I sighed. It felt like the longest walk ever with out Kendra. She had ended up walking much faster than me and eventually disappeared from my sight... I was really worried about her. Something wasn't right. "Kendra you idiot..." I mumbled. "Armeria?" My heart jumped out my chest and my face flushed a deep red. That voice! I turned around quickly to see Dante. "Are... you okay?" he asked. "I'm fine... Why are you here?" I asked. I stared coldly at him and he awkwardly smiled. "Ah ha... I go to this school." I scoffed. "You know that's not what I meant! I meant... why are you here talking to me?" I asked. "Well I just arrived and I saw you just standing here so I came to see if you were okay. I was worried about you. Should I not be?" he asked. I felt my face grow hot. "No. Don't worry about me, I'm fine," I told him. It was hard to look at him... I was so embarrassed from yesterday's situation. "Are you really okay?" "I said I'm fine! It's just... yesterday... I'm just really... I mean, I feel really... I feel..." "...Embarrassed," he said quietly. He turned his face away, obviously embarrassed as well. "Y-yeah," I said. He looked at me again. Giantess was a bright red. "Let me hold you," he said. "W-what?!" I shouted. "I want to hold you! Right now!" he said. "Please... just for a minute. I really want to hold you." I blushed. "I... N-n-n..." I was unable to say 'no' to him. He took this as a 'yes' and he pulled me close to him and embraced me. He buried his face in my neck and just held me. I felt weird. I felt an urge to put my arms around him but I restrained myself. It was hard though... "Armeria... I..." When I realized what he was going to say I threw my arms around him unexpectedly. I wasn't ready to hear it. Not right now... He held me tighter. "You like my hug?" "Don't misunderstand. It just feels weird to have someone hug you with out returning it," I said bluntly. He laughed. "You are so cold sometimes. I smiled. "Yes... I have to be otherwise I'd fall for you." I blushed as soon as I said that. I hadn't planned on saying that at all. "What?" he asked. "N-nothing! I was mumbling to myself!" I said. "Liar!" "I'm not a liar! I really didn't say anything!" I said. Oh my god... what the hell was wrong with me. I couldn't believe I had just said that... aloud even! I hope he would forget it... but I knew he never would. Please... don't let him see through me... Please...
