Snippet #2250277

There was the smallest thump and I felt something hit my chest. There was no pain from it, but I could still feel it. As I looked down to see what it was that hit me, it hit me - it was her running into me. Her head found itself onto my chest and I bet from another it would have looked how it shouldn't have, and that kinda scared me. There was a lag with my movements before I reacted though - I still had to realize what was happening - and it was only after then did I show signs of life, aside from my widened eyes that is.

I begin to realize how this had happened as I also realize the door was opened towards me. Was. Because I had not paid attention to my surroundings, Yukinoshita-san had probably went to turn to leave her locked sanctuary and that's when she was met with my clumsy self. Gosh! I'm such an idiot! That's so stupid - forgetting which way a door opens! Who does that?! I mean sure, it isn't something you memorize for when you get home, but when you're standing right next to it and....... ! Gah! I need to pay much much more attention to where I'm going or something worse can happen.

Good thing she couldn't knock me over.....

I decide that thinking about a really awkward situation while in an awkward situation is probably not the brightest idea and that thought is thusly and swiftly removed from mind as I take my apologetic face instantly. "Ah! I'm so sorry, Yukinoshita-san!" I don't go into a bow, but someone who might have overheard us may think of someone bowing when they heard me speak - I was sincere after all. I nudge only slightly from her push, but enough for her. She then gives me information suggesting my theory on this awkward occurance was correct and so I feel even worse because it was my own carelessness. Glad she walked into me and not the other way around, or I could've actually hurt her. in comparison to her slender figure, mine looks like a brute's.

When she had turned and began locking the door, the red on my own face which had remained hidden from her sight as hers was from my own, had begun leaving my cheeks... somewhat. I will say that it has been quite a while since I've genuinely been embarrassed in such a way. First day of school and you're trying to bulldoze down woman. Nice work, Hideyeki.

After Yukinshita-san turns to me and begins speaking, I'm relieved to hear she wants to put this behind her. If I don't have to think of it, I'll be happy because I'm honestly upset a bit at myself for being such a clutz. But to the task at hand..... Did we miss anything on the tour? I'm not sure..... "Uh...." I take a moment to think. "They showed me most everything around here, I believe. I know where the classes and sort are, and the gym." I scratch my head.

Note to self: Short-term memory loss is a side-effect of Embarrassment.
