"I never thought this day would come I'm so nervous Mio," I said looking at the red-headed, fidgetting with my fingers.

"You think he has changed?" said the red-headed cocking an eyebrow.
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSdruaARhx
"Yes, Of course," I confidently replied.

A ringing sound pulled me out of my trance, I didn't even realize I was in one until that. I took my phone out of my bag's side pocket that’s been ringing for a while. I fixed my composure before picking up the call.
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3EPRhTz2jr
“Yes, mom?”
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GAqxRJxDe
"Honey, where are you?"
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAz5FcD1CGZ
"On my way home, mom. I’m just around the corner,"
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZ52k2YdyQ
“Okay, be safe and come fast”
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWAtDRnRn50
“Yeah, yeah mom, I am.” with that I ended the call.

Although my initial plan was to avoid thinking about the past, looks like this town has its way to keep reminding me... I still remember it clearly like it happened yesterday.
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4fV8OcOj8
"He has changed"318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBycmxo3Im
"Has he? Ya'know he's known as the playboy for some reason"
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ823LTXjx7I
"Well he used to be that way but after that incident, he has completely changed "318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWsDXfNVOR
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmrO2ZByV3
"you're crazy"318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6w6fm2ifVf
"And you just think too much"318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46oyQOzliB
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpS2WPryxI
"I just want what's best for my bestie is that a lot to ask?"
"You're the best Mio! I think I will confess my feelings to him today"
"and I'll kill him if he doesn’t treat you right." and we both laughed like idiots
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySqgTFFloz
"There he is, I'll see you later, bye~"
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwB74RTqt7A
Honk! Honk!

"Hey, girl! watch where you're going, do you wanna die?!" an angry man yelled sticking his neck out of the window of his car, apparently, I had walked off to the middle of the road 'unknowingly'.
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMf1XCNX14
"I'm sorry," I apologized and made my way home. Standing at the doorstep I brushed off any negative thought which might have paved its way back to my mind and opened the door.
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDN0OyZSaQ3
"I'm home," I said closing the door.
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONholGLALH
"Hey sweetie how was your day? What took you so long?" my mother asked cleaning the kitchen station.
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVSFgcFymG
"The day went fine. There was a lot of traffic today so I got stuck," I lied trying to deflect the memories that kept creeping back.
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QN7FlRQ9S
“Bo?”
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhH8ymwIWC4
“Hmm?”
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡScyV5JrHEJ
“I wanted to ask you something,” I gave her a nod in response. “Would you be okay if I started seeing people, of my age?”
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2PzmlhjNY
“As in dating?”
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDcKMiKem6
“Yes. I know it’s sudden but-”
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqIdwM89d8
“It’s okay Mom.” It was quite unexpected. I wasn’t sure how I felt about it.
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCS0Ex3E1cm
“Really?” she looked at me with a guilty look on her face.
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTWSCltIYc
“Yes, really, mom. I’m happy that you’ve decided to meet other people,” I gave her an assuring smile. I want her to be happy.
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydeGhsX4Y4
“So, what’s for dinner? I’m starving” I said in the hopes of changing the topic. I wasn’t against her dating someone, just the news was all too sudden.
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8gJf9kUNE
“I’ve ordered your favourite pizza…”
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbotfYPwcjQ
“And?”
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6ESUQN7rp
“And… I’ll be eating outside-”
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2Ltjzac5B
“Eh? What about me?”
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRkLzopQDI
“Your Uncle planned this double date sort of thing and your aunt insisted that I come..”
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwREs6K342
“Ah, I see.” It’s the fist time she’s going out on her own after... “Don’t forget to enjoy, Ma. I’ll be fine”
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMw5Nir333K
“You sure you'll be fine on your own?”
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xu2j9s97T
"Of course! Oh and don't be late," I said putting a hand on my waist.
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytp9KMl6Un
"Did you forget I'm your mom, not the other way around?" and we both bursted out in laughter.
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEn6Pcm0egY
"Take care," I said as I watched her leave.
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLsgBB4WVA
I lied down on my bed and all the memories came crashing back to me but this time I didn't run away from them.
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbl3EQ2FbK3
"You're here," he said enveloping me in a cozy hug.
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU87RuWmSk3
"I'm sorry for being late" I nervously apologized.
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgw2QrmU7Y5
"It's okay I don't mind waiting, you're my princess after all, Let's go now" he said offering me his warm hand.
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKh6okkJgk
"You're spoiling me." I giggled as I felt his hand tightly clutching mine. "Where are we going?"
"Somewhere special"
"Ooh! I'm excited and... I have something to tell you" I mumbled out the last part.
"Me too," he said chuckling as my cheeks turned to a deeper shade of pink. Soon we reached the destination.
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9tKu5dYEI
"Our school? Why are we here?"
"Because this place is special for me "318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBw2oLNL13B
"I don't understand..."
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiryPVfCwVE
"Just follow me," we walked to our school's pool "It's the place where I first met you and fell for you after you gave me an earful of scolding that day.”
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHhIcvQZLk
“I-”
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9CCkgRSb1l
“It's true, you can't deny it. I used to be an arrogant, ignorant, egoistic brat who played with everyone's feelings but now I've come to realize how wrong I was.”
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlxxsfPDkA
“You’re-” 318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXJM5XItE1
“Ah, earlier you said, you had something to say. Go ahead"
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3d5lqNXyzC
"I..." I didn't know how to say it, I've never confessed to anyone. "I... I like you, Ruka" happiness? nervousness? butterflies in my stomach? I couldn't pinpoint what I was feeling but I knew one thing for sure, it felt amazing.
"What? I don't believe you!"
"I like you Ruka, I like spending time with you. I like how you take care of me. I think I might be in love with you." within a second his expressions changed, his innocent smile was replaced by a smug look.
"Did you guys take a good shot of that? Did you guys record it?" He said waving his arms to his left and suddenly a bunch of boys walked into the pool area as he walked towards them "Let me see?"
"Record? hey? What's going on? Who are these guys? What are you-"

~~video ends~~
"I'll make sure this video reaches every one after all it's a video of my Princess confessing to me. God! This will look awesome on the school's website" he coos.
"WHY?! Why would you do such a thing?!" my vision started to get blurry with tears.
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ijK57VB0o
"Did you really think I was gonna fall for you? How stupid are you exactly?" nothing was making sense for me at this point "and you know what made it even more special was knowing you were falling deep for me with every passing day."
"...." nothing came out of my mouth.318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDtiG6AfIO
"Oh I know, you must be thinking how could I possibly know. Well..." He tilted his head sideways and made a hand gesture as if he was signalling someone to come in, "I had a little spy" and a familiar figure walked in.318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HnhJKXPmI
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVrsn2L52U
"M...Mio?" it felt as if my heart would come out of my mouth.318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQVWHlJSNp
"Hiya BESTIE!" said the red-headed.
"What are you doing with him?!"
"Oh! honey... Isn't it normal when you're in a relationship." she purred as she pecked his cheek.
"No! You're lying! you must be lying! Please tell me that you're lying..."
"Ruka, honey, I think she has lost it"
"But you were my friend how could you do this to me?"
"It's called acting. He promised me that if I'd help him get his revenge on you, he'll be my lover and I hope it's worth it cause it was so annoying listening to your stupid talks" she said making a distasteful face
"So long Princess" he said and all of them walked out leaving a shattered me.
