"What are you-" It was only a second, but it was enough for her eyes to go wider than he'd ever seen. She just stared at him, lips parted slightly. It was almost like her brain shut off and was trying to reboot. When the world came back to her, it started to blur.
Tears blotted the world in front of her as they began to whelm in her eyes. Her lip quivered a bit before she dropped her head into her hands as she tried to recollect herself. Was she seriously crying right now?
'You need to pull. yourself. together. Right now- you're embarrassing yourself.'
She couldn't help it- her shoulders were shaking, and she was trying to hide her face from him. This was so embarrassing… he probably thought he'd done something wrong. Quite the opposite, actually. She was so relieved he didn't hate her, that when he confirmed it, all her built-up emotions started to pour out at once. She didn't even know if she could be happy until she got all of this out.

Well you’re correct about him not knowing why she was crying, he just stared at her at a loss for words as her shoulders shook and she started crying. He moved to extend a hand towards her, but hesitated. Could he really make her happy? He had no clue…
He took a deep breath and moved to place a hand on her head and rubb it softly to kinda massage it.
This was his attempt to comfort her since he didn’t know why she was crying or what to say.

"Uhg! This is so embarrassing…" She muttered, dropping her hands to her side after rubbing at her eyes. "I'm being stupid… sorry."
She took a deep breath and looked up at him as he petted her head. She bit back the tears fighting her, trying to make her choke. Swallowing hard, she let out the deep breath.
"I guess I just thought you hated me. I'm not sure why that induced tears." It was weak, but a laugh followed. She felt ridiculous standing on the sidewalk, this man she hardly knew trying to comfort her…
'Wait- that's right. We hardly even know each other!' Her intrusive thoughts began to creep in further, a frown settling on her face. 'What if he finds me annoying, or too much? Is that it? I mean he would have every right to move on. We only met a little over a month ago.'
"Why on earth do you like me?" The bluntness she spoke with seemed to have come from nowhere. She was a complete and total emotional rollercoaster. "I'm practically a stranger to you- emphasis on the strange."

He scoffed slightly, he didn't mean to let out one, but the idea of her emphazing on the strange bit made him react.
"You tell me, Your the one that decided to go after me and then decide to stop coming to school, stop pursuing me, look depressed, tell me you have no one really close to you, not have a good relationship with your family and then proceed to be extremely apologetic when you turned around hurt my feelings had me like you and now, we are here."
He spoke, staring her down as he said all of this. He was being very blunt with it as he didn't know what to say.
"I'm not repeating anything.'

Her face twitched at the bluntness, causing her to step back a bit. She didn't want to take it personally- she knew that was just his personality- but it was hard when he had the wheel to her heart. Taking a deep breath, she dropped her head.
"I wasn't… never mind." Changing her mind, she ran her hand down her face again. "I should head home."
She didn't necessarily want to leave, but her brain was getting overwhelmed by all the information. She was seriously questioning her sobriety right now. It seriously felt like a 'he loves me, he loves me not…' situation. And it was starting to mess with her brain.
"I guess this is good night, Kaido."

"Hm…my real name is Akira…my last name is Kaido." He spoke, before dipping his head to her.
"Goodnight savannah." He moved to leave before she could, leaving her with that one piece of information.

She screeched to a stop, turning her head to look back at him.
"…What?" She asked softly, but he was already gone. She could barely speak above a whisper, as a lump formed in her throat.
Had he really just said what she thought he had? His name wasn't even Kaido? And she'd let him kiss her???
He'd lied to her about the most basic things, and she trusted him with much more than she wished she had. He wasn't even willing to trust her with his first name.
"That jerk!" She scoffed. Anger bubbled up, as her jaw and fist clenched. She let out an exasperated screech and stormed off toward the park as fat water droplets began to patter on the ground. She was too upset to go home, but didn't dare turn around to go back to the cafe. He could have gone back there.

Savanna was still upset in the following days. Every time she thought she saw him, her jaw would set, and she'd immediately turn around. She was avoiding him, once more. With how mad she was at him, she figured it would be better to avoid him now than blow up at him. It was better in the long run, right?
So everywhere she went, she was on edge. Most people scurried away when they saw her very intimidating rbf, while some gave her snarky looks when they thought she wasn't looking. Despite her outward appearance, she wasn't just angry. She was nervous, hurt, and confused as well. After all, the person she was ultimately falling for had completely blanket-faced lied to her. She couldn't ignore that.
When the time came around she still wasn't sure what to say. Despite being on edge, she was caught by surprise when she finally ran into him.

(Edit:)
It had been raining all week long, ever since the night they… bumped into each other at the coffee shop. Yup, that's how she would categorize it.
Honestly, she didn't mind the rain. Although it made things a tad more dramatic, she found it validated her mood at least a little bit. She felt she could be angry, or upset when the sky itself appeared to be as well…

Okay… maybe it was a bit more than a tad dramatic.

But that didn't stop her from feeling. Despite what most people thought of her, she wasn't heatless, or soulless. Her emotions were just " complex," as her brother put it. She was never good at showing her emotions, and definitely not good at talking about them.
So she chose to sit in the rain.

It was after school hours, and she had assumed most people were already on their way home. Whenever given the chance, she would avoid going home— and there was no one here that was making her go. So she sat on the steps, knees barely hanging past the overhang as it poured. She didn't care how soaked her legs got. (Her shoes were a different story; that being the reason she was barefoot, and her shoes beside her.)
She basked in the peacefulness of the rain, letting the cold water fall on her. The only sound she could hear was the rush of wind and rain. She definitely couldn't hear anyone approaching her, nor the door behind her opening.
