Estrella. | Haiba Lev

07

I look around the ballroom, and check the balcony. This place looks like a good place for the prom. I'd love to do the prom here. The place is spacious enough for the students. It's a huge place, so I think everyone can fit in.

There's also a stage. We don't have to ask for a set-up. It's going to be really difficult if we do the set-up, it's more expensive and we'll have to pay the workers too. We'll have to audit everything, which is the worst part of this event. But... as long as I enjoy the event, I think I'll be fine.

Makoto's talking to the manager, and I'm just looking around. I already told him that I think that this place will be enough. There's no better place than this, not that goes out of our range.

"(Y/n), we can't have the prom soon." I check the schedule he handed me, and find this place booked. "We can do it in two months."

"Two months... I think that'll be okay? I already thought of a great time for it." After exams.. We'll have hell before heaven.

"We'll discuss this by around next week then?" We give the manager a nod, and head out.

I'm sleepy. I worked this morning.. it was more tiring than I originally thought. I didn't expect myself to be this sleepy. I did put myself in this situation, so I guess I'll have to face the consequences. I'll just rest when I get the chance. Probably, around later? I don't know.

We get on the train, and I glare at him. "Stop acting like a creep and just spit it out."

"I was just thinking.. You've been gloomy lately." How observant of him. "But, I only remember one face from last week.. that moment you held the gift bag and read the letter.. That was from Lev, wasn't it?"

"I don't understand the point that you're trying to prove here." I rest my head on the seat, and it slides to his shoulder. "What do you mean by that?"

"You received that gift from him, and you were happy when you got it.. but, you never talked to him still." He usually gets pissed about him, so I don't know why he's acting this way.

"I don't think so." The very next day, I saw him with Ai at the mall. How could I feel happy? "I have reasons, so just don't think about it."

I fix my position on his shoulder, and the train comes to a stop. Lev.. and Ai came in. I immediately sit up, and take my bag to leave. Makoto followed me without saying a word. Why the hell were they around? Why.. was he with her? Why has she been hanging out with him?

We stay at a convenience store, and I'm really bothered again. Why was he around her? Why is he hanging out with her? Is it because I'm not talking to him? I'm a bad friend.. aren't I? I'm not exactly.. I'm not happy with what's going on. Why am I not happy? It's stupid! I don't have a reason to be unhappy!

"(Y/n), I really think that you should stop avoiding him." I'm not doing it because I want to. I just can't face him. "I don't like how you've been very quiet too. It's unnatural for you."

"Do you know about the relationships around school?" I ask, and take a sip of my coke. "Do you know whether he's dating her or not?"

"They're not dating.. Ai's just being Ai. He's also annoyed by how she's been following him all around. Though, I think she's trying to piss you off. I don't know." I take more sips of my coke, and eat the bread. "But, why are you asking?"

"I'm bothered.. for no reason, that's all." I don't know. "I'm really bothered by her being around him and him being around her. What do you call that?"
