"Ah, I usually don't give out my number to people I've just met..." Akane paused for a moment, a blush stretched across her face.<br/>
She thought about it for a moment, then decided that it would have been rude to turn down Ernie's offer. After all, he had acted<br/>
like such a gentleman and walked her home after her run-in with who she thought had been the Gagger. Standing in her open<br/>
doorway, she removed a small slip of paper from her backpack, turning away from Ernie for a moment as she placed the small<br/>
slip of paper against the open door. Clicking her pen, she jotted down her phone number onto the slip of paper before handing<br/>
it off to Ernie.<br/>
<br/>
"Here. I don't usually answer phone calls, but you can always text me." She smiled, not realizing who this man standing outside<br/>
her house really was. "Anyways, I should study a little more and then go to bed. It was nice meeting you." She glanced down to<br/>
zip up her backpack. "Goodnight, Ernie." She slowly shut the door before tossing her backpack to the side. Now that she felt that<br/>
she was safe in her own home, Akane slipped free of her shoes, placing them on a nearby shoe rack before flipping on the lights<br/>
to her house.<br/>
<br/>
"What a day." Akane mused to herself, wondering why she gave her number to a complete stranger.<i> 'Well, he seemed nice, and he <br/>
was kinda cute,'</i> She thought to herself. Akane was very attractive, but her quiet demeanor never made her stand out in a crowd. <br/>
Little did she know, that she would be seeing him again real soon.<br/>​</div>
