I got home like a crazy girl, laughing and smiling all by myself. It was hilarious when some guys I walked pass by nervously stared at me like I'm possessed or something.

Well, at least I'm now sure I'm safe at night.

I jumped on my bed and hugged my pillow. It's been years since I had a crush, and now, that crush of mine made the first move. I already completely forgotten my sad feelings just a while ago.

Not knowing what to do, I tried to relax myself. I couldn't sleep so I sat down, but I still can't get over it. I shrieked silently and squeezed my pillow, feeling my face heating up, remembering and replaying every details.

Why am I repeating it?!

I'm going crazy!

I bit my lower lip and screamed as I hid my face on the pillow to calm myself down.

I can't believe a guy is making me act like this.

Since when did I like that bizarre, tiny yet invincible guy who sleeps around all times, and doesn't prioritize his studies, who keeps getting into fights, and loves eating so much that he forgets the person he's with?

"Haha..." I scooped my face. "Mikey, huh..." I whispered to myself when I got back to my senses. "Sano... Manjiro..."

Sano... Manjiro... Sano...

I uncomfortably laid back down when I figured something out.

"Really, Delanel?" I chuckled to myself. "Another Sano?"

I scratched my head at the conclusion.

"I wonder what Shin-san would think about this if he's here..."

Immediately, the thought of him teasing me with his younger brother appeared in my head. It's pretty obvious he'll enjoy teasing me with Mikey. Baji-san would also do the same. It's pretty funny when I imagine it.

You don't have to pretend with me...

My heart raced again. I couldn't get over it so I screamed without a sound while jumping like a little kid over my bed until I caught my aunt standing at the door!

"A-aunt..!" I slid down, almost falling. I stood straight back up and gave her a peck on the cheek. "I-I was, uhm..."

So embarrassing!

Her puzzled reaction changed as she chortled. "I've never seen you like that, Delle." She burst out laughing. "What's made you so happy, dear?"
