"I'm Noru, a friend of Toma.""Oh…" so this was the guy who helped Toma with Cami. "I believe we met before. I always saw you with him when we were freshmen.""Ah yeah, I'm a friend of Toma and as well as a childhood friend." I told him.He smirks as he pass by, "It doesn't seem like it anymore."…jerk.After that, I left the restro0m and continued my day without a hassle. Though it quite bothered my mind about the guy from the restroom and Xia confessing to me. I'm getting mixed emotions by thinking about it.The next day wasn't so easy, when I saw Xia. It was awkward like I expected. "Uhm, hey." I kind of… greeted."Y-Yeah." She couldn't even make eye-contact with me.I attempted to find another seat but everything in the room was taken, so I had no other choice but to sit next to her. When I take a glance at her, I noticed how stiff she is.

From: Xia『 See you later :D 』After reading the text I received from Xia, I felt a bit nervous since this feels like my first time on a date. The last time I dated someone when I was a senior highschool student. It feels such a long time since then."Ugh, act cool Yuji." I told myself while waiting for Xia.And it's not like I should be nervous for anything today, I'll just be going on a date with Xia. Shouldn't that be a fun thing?"…Yuji?" A familiar voice spoke.Then there I saw Hino, along with Toma, Noru and the rest of their friends. It was nostalgic seeing them altogether, but I realized that I was never a part of their circle because I was always just considered as someone who only tagged along with Toma."Oh, hey." I greeted. Some of them asked how I've been, and why I haven't been hanging out with them lately. Then my bestfriend who was being quiet began

I've thought of possible results before confessing my reason why I dated Xia. And I also thought by the time I said it, Xia would reject me for being such a huge jerk. But I was quite surprise how Xia responded."I thought so…" she answered with a smile, but sadness can be seen on her eyes."So, do you still wanna date me?" I grinned waiting for my expectation to be meet."Yes." My face became blank as soon as she said that. "I already got the chance I wanted, so I won't let it slip by so easily.""Why so eager?" I softly asked, almost a whisper."Because, I really like you-" she points at me, showing an expression that's so eager. "-and I'll make sure to make you fall inlove with me too."What a strong-willed woman.I chuckled. "We'll see about that."Then the rest of my day was spent well with my girlfriend, Xia. After all that, coming back to my

Ugh, just when I was trying to finish the research. Toma just looked at me with a friendly face. "Why didn't you do anything to get out of here?" I asked."Oh, I actually did. I yelled for help, tried to make a lot of noise, and even put a note underneath the door so someone can help me… but none of those works." So the stupid note earlier was his doing.I sighed feeling helpless. "Tsk, what to do, what to do…" then I suddenly thought of my phone. I searched it in my pocket, only to realize that I left it back at the classroom. Damn it."Toma!""!… yeah?" He spoke while maintaining that smile of his. Ugh, his face right now looks annoying."Do you got your phone with you?""Ahh… I've thought about that too but uhm, I left it with Cami.""What!?""Yeah, she asked to look at it. She's checking out the pictures we've taken together.""

These days, I find Cami often visiting Toma whenever the class ends. Toma must've gotten her so hooked into him. "That girl is really pretty, huh?" Xia commented as she stares at the couple talking to each other."Yeah, Toma got really high standards." I said.Then I felt Xia clinging to my arm. "I gotta say, you've got extreme standards as well." She giggled."Ugh in your dreams." I teased.She suddenly looked like she's about to cry. "Hey that's rude!" It made me laugh. Being with Xia really lightens my mood sometimes."I'm just being honest.""Tsk.""Pfft, I'm kidding!""Argh!' She threw a soft punch on my arm while I just laughed at her. Then again, someone always interrupts my fun moment with Xia. And it's always Toma."Hey guys!" He greeted."Err, hi." Xia replied, still in a bad mood."What's
