He Had His Phone

Just like what Toma said, we both got out of the storage room eventually. Xia was the one who came to our rescue. "Yujiiii!" She hugged me as soon as we got out of the storage room.

"Thanks for helping Xia." I told her as I placed my hand on top of her head. She looks at me with her teary eyes. "I'm really sorry you had to go through this."

"It's fine, atleast you're okay." I'm sort of glad I helped her with the things she was supposed to do. If I haven't helped her, she'd be terrified and stuck with an idiot.

"Hey Xia! Thanks for saving us." Toma said, patting her back.

"Ahh, I was really worried about Yuji. Thank goodness I found you guys."

"Right. If you haven't found us, we'd be stuck here until tomorrow." I said.

"I'm really sorry!"

"I told you it's okay." Then I felt the urge to squeeze her cheeks to stop her from apologizing.

"Wuchii!" She wasn't able to speak clearly because of me squeezing her face. And there she goes with her puppy eyes again.

"Tsk. I said it's alright, so stop with the apologies."

"Mhmm, owkay."

"Ehem." Then my moment with Xia was interrupted by Toma. "Ah, I forgot you existed." I joked.

He rolled his eyes. "…it's time we get out of this school." He said and pointed at the large clock at the end of the corridor.

"Ah yeah, let's get out of here and have dinner altogether." I suggested.

Xia frowns as she tells her excuse. "I'm sorry but I have a lot to do for tonight."

"It's okay! I guess it's just the two of us, Yuji." Toma happily said.

"Hngg.." Xia looked like she badly wants to come along with us, so I just told her an idea that popped in my head. "Let's have dinner together next time." I said smiling.

Her eyes sparkled. "Really?"

"Yeah! I mean, why not?"

"Ahh~ a second date with Yuji." She whispered to herself, blushing all over.

When we all left the campus, we waited for Xia's cab to make sure she safely gets home. "Bye guys!" She waved goodbye when she got inside the cab. And after that, I headed back to the dorm. "Yuji?… aren't we going to get dinner?" He asks.

"I realized I don't have any money on me. Do you got some on you?" I was thankful Xia had to do something for the night, or else I might've died from embarassment because of this.

"Uck, I don't have money either." He said while checking his pockets.

"Heh, let's just heat some left overs at the fridge for dinner."

"Yeah." He looked a bit disappointed. I just patted his back to console him, while doing so, I noticed something on the back pocket of his pants.

'He had his phone the whole time.'

I didn't know how to confront him about this so I just stayed quiet until we got back to our dorm. It was weird that he hid his phone earlier… I just shrugged it off but it kept my mind to wonder why.
