Miss Second Place

Chapter 5

--- next day-----

I need to be cheerful. Nothing will happen if get sulky over yesterday. I'll just remember that Kei brought me melon breads.

I arrived early then I saw Kei.

Kei-kun and I hug him. He hugs back and smiling like something good happened.

You seem smiling brightly what happened?
I just remember my brother will come back. You remember Sui right? He's coming back tomorrow.

Oh yeah. That little brother of yours. Of course, I remember how he used to get mad at me because he likes melon bread too. Kei just laughed at me.

Takishima, see you later for the training. Hikari said as she passed by.

What does Hikari mean by training? I asked Kei.

Oh that. Yesterday I agreed to train with her so she can beat Shoji in the wrestlers match.

I see. She really hates losing. I'll cheer for you. You should go now. I said to Kei.

After he leaves. Sadness was all written in my face. I felt really sad. Because Kei is like moving closer and closer to Hikari and far from my reach.

If I guessed it right, you like Kei don't you? wondering who's that I looked and Tadashi speaks again.

You didn't answer me so it's a yes. Before Tadashi could speak again I cover his mouth. Who knows someone might hear him. And I'm afraid. Still afriad of confessing to Kei.

Shana: Tadashi, I really think we should keep this a secret.
Tadashi: what if I don't what would you do?
Shana: what is it that you like? What do you want me to do?
Tadashi: I'll keep your secret. If you promise you'll keep mine.

Shana: oh is it the one you bribe your mom to not go to Europe or is it the one of the girl you like
Tadashi: let's be fair then Shana. I won't tell Kei and you won't tell Akira. That's a deal.
Shana: okay I'll keep my mouth shut. After you buy me melon breads

Tadashi and Shana went to the bakery.
You really love melon breads huh? Tadashi said
Hmmm. Yes. Best bread ever. Let's go back others might be looking for us.
Sure. I said then we go back.

Before I reached through the door. Kei was running towards us. Yeah, were have you been. I was looking for you.

Gomene. I just bought melon breads. And I stuffed melon breads in his mouth.

Shall we go?

Now that everyone is here I shall announce to everyone that we will go to amusement park tomorrow. Akira announced.

Kei, is your brother coming? - Shana
He will not join the amusement park - Kei
Okay. I'm getting excited - Shana
