(PRIVATE) There's something I have to tell you...

(Chris, having just completed his biology work for the day, steps out into a hallway to be bombarded by the usual rush of students. He manages to make his way to a vacant section of the school, where he spots a flyer advertising an upcoming school dance. After reading the flyer in full, he decides to text Sumiko.) *Hey, sweetie! First off, let me start by apologizing for my absence of late. I've been busy with school, you see. Anyway, do you have time to maybe come by and see me this morning?*

Sumiko walks out of her classroom. with the massive group of students just getting out and the talking that they are making she barley hears her phone ring.
She walks outside of the building before reading the message she got
*I just got out of class so I have time. Where do you want me to meet you?*

*I'll be waiting for you outside the hall with all the science labs.*

*On my way*
She closes her phone and start walking toward the science lab. There are still a few student lingering around the hallways but she spots Chris in the distance back turned.
Sumiko silently walks behind him and gives him a hug
" Hi Senpai..."

(Chris doesn't say anything. Instead, he embraces Sumiko with more passion than he has ever given her before.)

"i missed you..."
She buries her face in his chest. IN a muffled voice
"Y-You could have told me you were busy sooner."

Well then, I'll just have to take you somewhere special to make up for all the dates we could have had. (Chris winks at Sumiko.) What did you have in mind, Sumiko-chan?

She looks up at him with pleading eyes
"c-could we go to the rooftop... I-I want to be alone with you for a while..."

(Chris smiles at Sumiko.) We're off then. (Chris grabs the flyer advertising the upcoming school dance before leaving to the school roof with Sumiko.) Once the two arrive at their destination, Chris offers to let Sumiko sit on a bench overlooking the athletic fields below.)

She takes her seat.A curios look appears on her face seeing the paper
"W-whats that in your hand Senpai?"

(Chris is reluctant at first, but eventually addresses Sumiko's concern by handing her the flyer.) Sumiko-chan, there's this dance coming up, and I was curious if you would... maybe like to go with me? (Chris turns his back to Sumiko.)

"I-I would love to go but..."
she fidgets in her seat blushing
"I d-don't know how to dance..."

(Chris fidgets with his fingers.) {I don't know how to dance either, Sumiko-chan...} (Chris turns back around and goes to sit next to Sumiko. He enthusiastically grabs her hands.) The truth is, I don't know how to dance either. (Chris attempts another smile to lighten Sumiko's distressed disposition.) Hawke seems to be a bit more socially adept than us. Assuming he goes, maybe we can learn the waltz from him. What do you say?

She nods then gives Chris a hug
"O-Okay...."
SUmiko does nt let go of the hug for while feeling more comfortable in his arms.

(While the two are locked in a tender hug, Chris addresses Sumiko's deeply worried sounding voice.) What's wrong, Sumiko?

"nothing senpai.... just let me stay like this for a while..."
Sumiko hugs as tight as she could before staring into his eyes.

{This girl doesn't have to tell me twice...} (Chris leans in to kiss Sumiko.)

She passionately kisses back; her arms around the back of his head. She reels back,her face red
"I-I love you so much Senpai...."
Sumiko give him one more passionate kiss.

Where would I be without you, sweetie? (Chris leans in to Eskimo kiss Sumiko.)

She smiles again and rests on his shoulder. soon after her stomach begins to growl pretty loud;she begins to giggle.
"Senpai I'm getting hungry..."

(Chris extends his arm and smiles.) Follow me then.

Sumiko takes his arm and follows him down the stairs, through the building, and into the courtyard. Not many students outside and the sun still as bright as ever.

(Chris reaches into his bag and pulls out a bento lunch. He opens the bento box to reveal leftover chicken tempura from his sister's picnic.) Would you like some, Sumiko-chan?

"Please?"
She takes a seat on the near by grass

Open wide. (Chris dangles a piece of chicken tempura in front of Sumiko.)
