12 Avoiding a calamity (1/2)

At lunch, I reached into my backpack to grab my lunchbox, only to notice that it is not there.

”I'm quite sure that I brought it with me, though...”, I muttered to myself. As I was thinking about what I should eat for lunch, Hanako approached me and said,

”Nee~ Yuuji. Did you forget to bring your lunch?”

”Yeah...”

”D- Do you want mine, then? I made a little too much this morning. I- It's not like I purposefully made this or something, okay! D-Don't misunderstand it, Hmph!”

I'm quite sure that not many people would make 'too much' lunch, though...

”Nee~ Hanako?”

”W- what is it?”

”Did you intentionally steal my lunchbox so that you could make me eat your homemade lunch?”, I asked.

”...”

”Hanako?”, my suspicions have been confirmed. She definitely stole it.

”O- Of course not! How could I, your childhood friend, do something that cruel to you?”

”You did it, didn't you?”

”...”

*Sigh*

I sighed out loud.

”Hanako... if you really wanted me to eat your cooking, you could have said it honestly, you know? I like the you who is being honest more, too.”, I said out my honest feelings. If only she would be a little more honest, she would be perfect...

”S- stupid Yuuji!”, she turned her head away from me as she shyly blushed.

”But since you made one for me anyway, I'll eat it with you then.”

She handed me her lunchbox. Just as I was about to open it...

”Nii-sama... What are you doing?”, asked a voice that I'm very familiar with. I turned my head around only to see my little sister glaring at me with eyes that could kill someone...

”Mio?!?! What are you doing here?!?! Aren't you supposed to be in the junior high building?!?!”

”Nii-sama... Answer my question...”, she said that in an icy tone.
