The next day at school, Jun was trying to avoid Yuki as much as possible. He was still mortified by the previous day's events and couldn't bring himself to face her.147Please respect copyright.PENANA18X6gOWMEq
147Please respect copyright.PENANAjYhRMSt8JH
As he was walking through the hallway, he bumped into Aiko, a girl he'd only ever seen in passing. She was known for her eccentric style and her slightly unsettling obsession with Jun.147Please respect copyright.PENANASqoVnK1s9b
147Please respect copyright.PENANAPrIb9vyAN0
"Jun!" Aiko exclaimed, her eyes sparkling with an intensity that made Jun uncomfortable. "I've been waiting for you."147Please respect copyright.PENANAPK3l4ISEHA
147Please respect copyright.PENANAqYMypNhcvG
"Uh, hi, Aiko," Jun said, trying to back away. "What's up?"147Please respect copyright.PENANAnnBq9er9IY
147Please respect copyright.PENANAPRripZcsfN
"I have something for you," Aiko said, holding out a small box wrapped in red velvet. "It's a gift."147Please respect copyright.PENANACDNrwL8yfV
147Please respect copyright.PENANA1eTE6GLKUX
Jun hesitated. He didn't like the way Aiko was looking at him, but he didn't want to be rude.147Please respect copyright.PENANAeySFKIddU1
147Please respect copyright.PENANA4U04H9loMr
"Thanks," he said, taking the box.147Please respect copyright.PENANAN6GPnVuH4v
147Please respect copyright.PENANAQ3RKn0HDj0
Aiko smiled, her eyes gleaming. "I made it myself. Just for you."147Please respect copyright.PENANAJUIE4e5Q19
147Please respect copyright.PENANA47OAi3Pz6f
Jun opened the box. Inside, he found a small, heart-shaped box of chocolate. But something about the chocolate looked... off. It had a strange, almost metallic sheen to it.147Please respect copyright.PENANAj3xNuJNP8z
147Please respect copyright.PENANALCZM80fk9A
"What is this?" Jun asked, his voice trembling slightly.147Please respect copyright.PENANARZvizKxK4E
147Please respect copyright.PENANAvHrrn4n4J8
"It's my special chocolate," Aiko said, her voice dropping to a whisper. "I put a little something extra in it."147Please respect copyright.PENANAXMEKFg69aD
147Please respect copyright.PENANAU9E6SZIHiU
Jun looked at her, his eyes wide with suspicion. "What do you mean, 'a little something extra'?"147Please respect copyright.PENANACAGsHN3Mup
147Please respect copyright.PENANAeZbimWwcAL
Aiko leaned in close to Jun, her breath hot on his cheek. "I put a little bit of my blood in it," she whispered. "I wanted to give you a piece of my heart."147Please respect copyright.PENANAAg5kCFOtv4
147Please respect copyright.PENANADJgQGIe1I5
Jun recoiled in horror. "What?!" he screamed, dropping the box of chocolate. "Are you crazy?!"147Please respect copyright.PENANAelxCd3EAZO
147Please respect copyright.PENANA9oHbFMUbVn
Aiko's smile widened. "I'm only crazy about you, Jun."147Please respect copyright.PENANA1IFkQxLGuG
147Please respect copyright.PENANA7PGp0c7hgJ
Jun turned and ran, his heart pounding in his chest. He couldn't believe what he had just seen. Aiko was seriously disturbed.147Please respect copyright.PENANABaVBUXfs1y
147Please respect copyright.PENANAENnOUHoghY
He ran all the way to the library, where he could finally catch his breath. He was still shaking, his mind reeling from the encounter.147Please respect copyright.PENANAzX5veOLFFq
147Please respect copyright.PENANAguznGJLA1i
"Jun, what's wrong?" Hana asked, her voice filled with concern. She had been watching him from across the room.147Please respect copyright.PENANAg4DsigAgLH
147Please respect copyright.PENANAlrKEt9RfFa
Jun didn't know what to say. He couldn't tell her about Aiko's blood-infused chocolate. It was just too weird, too embarrassing.147Please respect copyright.PENANA0CgEAtDsiC
147Please respect copyright.PENANAjFkxqEUgT5
"It's nothing," he mumbled, trying to brush it off.147Please respect copyright.PENANAaAO2THR8Wa
147Please respect copyright.PENANAT55UrkKEr2
Hana didn't believe him. "You're shaking," she said, reaching out to touch his arm. "Tell me what's wrong."147Please respect copyright.PENANADlvDB93RPD
147Please respect copyright.PENANAGWhBdEJPWc
Jun sighed. He knew he couldn't keep it from her any longer. He told her about Aiko's chocolate, about the metallic sheen, about the blood.147Please respect copyright.PENANAjopnTpbktF
147Please respect copyright.PENANAfwf2MxX0KD
Hana's eyes widened in horror. "That's... that's insane!" she exclaimed. "You need to stay away from that girl."147Please respect copyright.PENANANfS4Mi1M9Y
147Please respect copyright.PENANAB4Feitneyp
Jun nodded, his face pale. He had never felt so creeped out in his life.147Please respect copyright.PENANAPrKZHbCsKe
147Please respect copyright.PENANABCkdErT01P
"I'm going to talk to Yuki about this," Hana said, her voice firm. "She needs to know what's going on."147Please respect copyright.PENANAB1KVqOiRME
147Please respect copyright.PENANAEqhLpxOoUb
Jun was grateful for Hana's support. He knew he couldn't handle this alone.
