"Goodbye, senior."

Wriothesley was a penultimate year student who Y/N painfully adored. He was handsome, kind and willing to help when needed.

Y/N gathered courage to walk towards him in the hallway. Wriothesley greeted her with his characteristic smile and a wave.

"Do you need help with anything again?"

Suddenly the courage Y/N had summoned up was completely gone. She thought it would be so much easier.

"Ahhh, yes. I mean no-" The opportunity was gone, so all that was left for him to do was to make something up.

"Here." This time she was lucky, it was just her turn to clean the corridors and classrooms. She handed him the broom and dustpan. And just as quickly as she had come, she went in the opposite direction.

Wriothesley watched his shyness from afar and chuckled.

He finished cleaning the hallway and left with the cleaning crew, entering a room that was not his own.

"I've found you, Y/N.". He teased, his grin reaching his sparkling eyes.

Y/N's friends laughed at the little joke, they knew she liked Wriothesley.

Pink painted Y/N's face, turning towards the familiar voice. "Ehh???? I wasn't hiding." She spoke, looking angrily towards her friends, who were now laughing at her flushed face.

His smile grew as he watched Y/N's shy reactions. His gaze drifted to her friends momentarily, finding it mildly amusing how much Y/N's cheeks flared.

"I'm sure you weren't avoiding me. Just cleaning up, were you?" He quirked an eyebrow and smiled even wider as he waited for her response.

"Uhum. Just cleaning up." She replied.

Some students were already leaving the classroom, having finished their parts of the cleaning.

"Ohh, look at the time." She excused herself by looking at her wrist, which didn't even have a watch on it. "It's time for me to go home. See you girls. Bye Wriothesley."

She said a quick goodbye, to leave the classroom, almost running.

He chuckled, finding her words amusing.

"Of course. It's getting late." He agreed, glancing at you as you were about to leave.

When Y/N finally came out of the institution, she patted her cheeks to snap out of it.

Once she reached her home, she let it be known that she had arrived and rushed to her room, she literally threw herself on her bed. The pink came back to her face as she remembered the interaction she had with Wriothesley, especially since that didn't always happen. Her legs kicked on her bed. Why the hell did she have to like him so much?

She stopped hugging her pillow and looked up slightly, on her desk was a picture of her crying next to him, as Wriothesley was wearing the uniform that the seniors wore.

He only had half a year left before his penultimate year was up, then it would be Wriothesley's last year at the school. An exaggerated sigh escaped his lips. She would have to propose before he left.

The next day, Y/N had arrived early in her respective classroom. She was sitting in her seat, looking out of the window at the students who had just arrived on campus.

Just then, Wriothesley was just walking along with the rest of the students. He looked up and saw that Y/N was looking out of the window. With a smile, he waved to her.

Y/N's eyes widened as she saw him greeting her, specifically her, with a smile. A pink blush tinged on her face at that action.

Out of embarrassment, Y/N had to stop looking out the window and hide her face in her arms, putting her face against the desk.

At lunchtime, again there were a few girls chatting with Wriothesley in the line to pick up the food. Nothing new. He, as usual, was being nice.

Y/N on the other hand, was chatting and eating with her friends. She couldn't help but notice that Wriothesley and a few penultimate year students were also entering the cafeteria.

"Uhm." That scene looked familiar.

She had overslept and missed the bus that brought her all the way to the institution. She cursed herself as she came. It just had to be the first day of school.

Once she arrived, a mural showed the classrooms to which each student belonged. She looked at it and went in the direction of her corresponding classroom. By looking quickly, she had by mistake climbed up to the third floor, where the higher grade students were at that time.

And to her surprise he was there, just about to enter his designated classroom. Her mouth dropped open slightly, was that Wriothesley?

He had indeed changed, his hair, once much longer, was now much better groomed and somewhat shorter.

Girls passing by would stare at him and greet him with the typical "Good morning", obviously Wriothesley with all the kindness in the world would respond to the greeting with a smile.

"…Hello…?????"

"Earth calling, communicating, trying to talk to Y/N." Charlotte spoke towards Y/N, as she ran a hand over her face.

At that, Y/N snapped out of her thoughts. "Ah, sorry." She commented with a soft laugh.

"You stared at the wall, did something happen?" Lynette spoke this time, in a concerned tone.

"No, not at all. I was just thinking about whether or not I brought the physics homework." For that then, since she already knew her friends like the back of her hand, she had to lie professionally.

"Oh, okaaay…. wait did you say physics homework?" Navia interjected, stopping eating for a moment, looking at Y/N with intrigue and shock.

When she saw Wriothesley that first day of school, she knew why the change. Y/N didn't want to confirm it. But it was obvious from the continuous nagging of her friends. Every time a certain girl passed by, he got nudged by them.

That put her off, but it didn't take away from the fact that she did have feelings for Wriothesley, even though they spoke very little.

Friday 15th.

The classroom where she was sitting was now empty. She was missing lunch, but she didn't care at the time.

It made her uncomfortable, but she wanted to talk to him anyway.

"Should I go one step further?" she thought.

It was now, today or never. There were only a few hours left until the end of the school year and then it was time for the end-of-year holidays.

With a blank piece of paper and a pencil, she didn't think much and began to write, recounting every drop of feelings that lived in her.

She was leaning against one of the lockers near the entrance door, her face slightly flushed.

For reasons unknown to Y/N, the timing was not the best.

Wriothesley came down the stairs with a puzzled look on his face and was slightly surprised to see her there, waiting for him. Y/N hid the letter behind her back, at that moment feeling unable to deliver it. On closer inspection of Wriothesley's face, he looked as if he had just cried.

The words, "I like you," came out of Y/N's mouth. The letter now crumpled in her hand, waiting for a reaction from him.

"It's okay. Don't say it to comfort me." With a rueful look and a faint smile, was what he said.

"That's not why I said it…" She muttered, watching him go. Her gaze was fixed on the ground. Tears she couldn't hold back, she had already understood but it still hurt.

The new school year has started. This being the penultimate year of Y/N and respectively the last year of Wriothesley.

The students of the penultimate year had just got their new uniforms which distinguished them from those of the lower grades. Some of them were looking at the murals where the list of the students and the respective classrooms were displayed.

This year Y/N's new goal was simply to try to keep up with Wriothesley, how would she do it? Through grades.

What she wanted most of all was to enjoy the last year she would have Wriothesley still on campus, so she decided to pretend she never confess.

From time to time the two of them would meet in the hallways and at the bus stop. They had pleasant, calm conversations, although Y/N's heart was still beating fast when she was near him.

At the midterm exams, the grades were posted on a specific mural on campus, and thanks to the effort she had put in, she had gotten grades almost as high as a senior's. Her friends gave her a little push, encouraging her to share her achievement with him.

"Uhmm, hello, Wriothesley." She spoke, she had to raise her voice a bit so that her voice could be heard, as there were many more students there.

"Oh, Y/N, hi." Her voice sounded friendly, as always. "How did your grades go?" he spoke again.

"I got a 96 average."

"Really? That's very good, Y/N. Congratulations."

Y/N's face tinged slightly pink along with a smile. "Thank you."

As soon as the school year started, it was coming to an end. Y/N accomplished what she set out to do, even with the knowledge that the two of them couldn't be together she was able to get closer to him.

She even tried in the middle of the year to write all the bad things in another letter that the seniors, including Wriothesley, had, but that didn't stop her from liking him.

Today was graduation day for the seniors. As the ceremony went on, Y/N couldn't help but wonder what it would have been like if she were in his class too.

Maybe sit next to each other? Spending days together, having lunch together, or even having a normal conversation.

But no, at least today, she wouldn't be crying like at her previous graduation. Even though she wouldn't be able to say "Good morning" to him every time they walked down the aisle, she didn't want this memory to be a bad one.

After the ceremony was over, Y/N separated from her group of friends, she looked around for Wriothesley, who was chatting with his group of friends.

"How embarrassing…", she thought, but there was no other way.

"Ahh, excuse me…?" The embarrassment she initially felt increased the moment Wriothesley's friends were watching her, she felt intimidated.

"Y/N, did something happen?" spoke Wriothesley, turning in her direction.

"Can we talk for a moment?" She asked.

"Oh, sure. I'll be right back, guys."

They both walked a little ways away from where they were standing.

"Do you know where you're going to college yet?" Y/N started, a smile on her lips. Her hair previously tied up in two low ponytails had been let down.

"Haha, yeah. I've already planned out a few options."

"Yeah…Anyway, I wish you the best of luck for whatever you do, Wriothesley.", "I like you.", she wanted to add, but wouldn't.

"Thanks, Y/N." He patted her head, with a half-melancholy smile.

At the gesture she felt her eyes water, the typical pink coloring her cheeks, only this time she didn't turn her face away.

"Can we take a picture?" she asked, her tone of voice was calm.

"Sure!"

And just as it was, Y/N called out to one of her classmates who happened to be walking by, handing her her mobile phone so they could take a picture.

They stood side by side. It was almost as if they were recreating the photo from the previous Wriothesley graduation, only this time they were both smiling, especially Y/N, grateful that she could do this for the last time. Both in their senior uniforms.

"Goodbye, senior."
