computer code and cherry blossoms ???;; senpai x reader

?>>; You've Got Mail

[Hi!] it read. [My name is Keith. Everyone calls me Boyfriend tho. Srry abt my language. Can you help me with numbr 5?]

You turned back to him. He was smiling at you, waiting expectantly for your answer. 

"Uh... sure, Keith," you replied, scooching your desk closer to his. "You see, it's telling you to use the theorem we learned in class today, but...."

The memory trailed off. You were left speechless and frozen, and you weren't quite sure what to say. This... this was wrong. You shouldn't have memories-- that was so, so very wrong. You were only a coded assistant in this computer, not a person with memories and definitely not ones of you in high school. 

Who were these two? Why did they make you feel this way? Why did they call you Y/N L/N? Where did that god damn memory come from?

"I.... I don't understand," you stammered out. "I mean-- I definitely don't understand what you said, but I-- I don't understand, why do I remember you speaking that way?"

The two's eyes lit up at once, and you stepped away from them both. You weren't scared of them, but you were scared of what they did- what they were doing to you. And yet... something within you screamed out to listen to them, to trust them with your heart. Something- a survival instinct, perhaps- told you that this was your way out. But out of what? You weren't trapped! You were installed into this computer at the very start!

"Y/N," Cherry began, walking closer to you. "Y/N, if you remember Keith, if only a little bit-- then do you remember me?" Her smile was so earnest, so hopeful, it only confused you more. 

"We used to sit together at lunch, at the old  c h e r r y  b l o s s o m  t r e e ? "

Cherry blossoms....

"You know, I don't understand what you see in that guy," You said simply. You were sitting under a cherry blossom tree with Girlfriend in late summer-- sometime in September or August, if you had to guess. You could already see the leaves starting to brown, and there was a new chill in the air. The two of you had gotten- burgers? Muffins? You couldn't remember- together, and you were on your lunch break. She was eying a boy in the distance across from you both, who was sitting among a gaggle of girls on a sidewalk as they all ate lunch. He seemed to be chatting with them casually, and each and every girl with him was fixated on him as if he were the only person in the world. It was the start of the school year, and Samuel Pae had completely changed from the nerdy kid he had been the years previous into a 'complete dreamboat,' as everyone had put it. He had also become a pretentious douchebag, always gloating and one-upping everyone around him constantly, using his newfound confidence and position as the school's golden child to move up in the world whenever possible. You learned as much when he had scoffed at your friend, Keith, for half-stuttering an answer out in your English class, and had tacked on a "Well, if he isn't going to get it out..." before giving the correct answer. He had embarrassed him, enough for you to get an exact read on the kind of asshole Sam had become. You had told Cherry about the incident as soon as you saw her, and she had insisted you and her check up on Keith. You three had talked for an entire lunch period that day, making sure he was alright and keeping him company and getting along with him super well, and yet, here Cherry was, fawning over Sam like every other person in the school.
