⠀⠀⠀Makoto-senpai was talking with Haruka-senpai and Nagisa-kun, he glanced over at me and smiled, an angel's smile.. But I didn't feel that way about him.
⠀⠀⠀I walked to the balcony and before I entered, I saw the rest of the Samezukians arrive. Mikoshiba-kun and Aiichiro-kun might have been looking for Yamazaki-san. I sighed and entered the balcony, closing the curtains.
⠀⠀⠀"Nice seeing you over here after that ceremony."
⠀⠀⠀"Yamazaki-san..." I bet by now he knows that I like him, it was pretty obvious.
⠀⠀⠀"May I ask you a question, Ryugazaki?" He looked at me with a serious face. What is it that he wants?
⠀⠀⠀"Y-You may." I say with my cheeks a bit red, just by looking at him and hearing him makes me flustered.
⠀⠀⠀"Are you in love with Tachibana? Or me...?" I was shocked by that question. I was so nervous. my face turned bright red.
⠀⠀⠀I decided to speak. "I am in love with you!" I exclaimed. He smiled, chuckling at my answer. I was curious.

⠀⠀⠀"Shall we see each other tomorrow?" He was gently smiling at me. That smile made my heart skip a beat.
⠀⠀⠀"Very well." He planted a kiss on my hand and let go, walking out of the balcony. I was smiling. Someone came to the balcony and held me, holding my hand. This was weird, it didn't feel like Yamazaki-.. I mean Sousuke...san... I looked at them, Makoto-senpai...
⠀⠀⠀"What are you doing out here, my love?" I was shocked. I moved away from him.
⠀⠀⠀"I-I was just relaxing here!" I laugh nervously.
⠀⠀⠀"I-I must go to bed now! Good night, senpai!" I ran out of the balcony and on my way to my room in the huge castle. I arrived at my room, I closed the doors. I sigh and get dressed in my sleep attire. I lay on my bed and close my eyes. Two of them...
