Chapter 13 || Y/n's POV

"Don't do anything to Y/n," Saiki's words echoed through my mind as I changed out of my uniform, "know your place. You can't have everything in the world."

He had stood up for me. It was hard to fight the butterflies in my gut. Could he care for me? The weird grumpy alien boy liked me? But Teruhashi hadn't even said aloud her plans- how did he know- it can't be," I said in denial, shaking my head as I threw on my casual outfit. "There's no way... maybe he just had intuition."

I told myself that, but I didn't believe it. There was something off about the boy, and if I had crazy sci-fi powers, I wasn't so sure a guy like Saiki couldn't have them, too.

Sleep will do me better, I thought. Later, I tossed and turned in my bed. Sleep didn't come easy. Eventually I did find rest... But it only stirred my angst up more; when I went to bed, I had a dream about Saiki. I dreamt he showed me his magical powers, ones of all sorts of random tricks. He could make clones of himself and bend spoons with his mind.

The next day, I shook off my suspicions of Saiki. I decided to go to the party and enjoy myself. I would go after school to find a dress; I'd originally planned on wearing some random jeans, but they were dirty and if Teruhashi was going to be a bitch, I might as well give a show. That way she'd have something to bitch about.

I found the gang waiting outside after school. They were discussing the green haired dude's party probably. I saw Kaidou, Teruhashi, Nendou, and the green hair dude. But where was Saiki?

There he is. I saw him creeping away from the group. He was attempting to sneak behind a bush.

"Saiki? I greeted him, drawing attention to myself and the runaway grump.

"What is up with you?" he grumbled like usual, displeased to have his escape disrupted.

"Where are you going, buddy?" demanded Nendou, suddenly behind the two of us. He gripped our shoulders, and a foul stench drifted into my nostrils. It smelled like spoiled ramen.

"Oh, hey Y/n," said Teruhashi. Her cheeks were pink from holding in a laugh. I'm sure she was enjoying our torture. But I glanced at Saiki, and I couldn't help smile at the face he was making. I almost forgot he had emotions. His current one displayed was of annoyance/disgust.

Whoa, Y/n and Teruhashi just smiled!!! thought Kaidou. "You look so pretty, Y/n!" he blurted. He blushed and covered his face. He really had a talent at turning red. We turned to stare at him and amaze over the vibrant pink-ity.

"He's almost as pink as your hair," I whispered to Saiki. He glanced down at me to glare.

"Hey buddy! Your bandages are rubbing off on your face!" screamed Nendou, concerned. He rushed over to his friend's aid and immediately scrubbed Kaidou's face. This time the red that was displayed was blood instead of embarrassment.

"Nendou MY FACE!" Kaidou screeched and ran off while sobbing into his ribboned hands. Nendou followed; Hairo appeared out of nowhere and gave the both of them a piggyback ride to the nurse's office.

"Enough about that," said Takahashi. "What are you losers bringing to my birthday party?" I glanced at his face and was tempted to say 'a mask'. Anything that covered his face would be a great fit. To call him ugly was an understatement, to be honest. Even when Teruhashi became aware of his presence she stepped away.

We discussed what we would bring. I had a couple of orders to get, said he could handle them with me.

"I can too!" shouted Hairo, racing to our group from the school building. He held Kaidou on his back, face covered in white bandages. There was no way he could see a thing. Nendou tagged along, but got distracted by a butterfly and tripped, pulling the other two down with him. We ignored them and began to walk out of the school gates.
