THREE: My Point of View

Ayako's PoV

"..Are you sure we can walk together like this?" I hear him whisper while we were walking down the hall, my arm wrapped around his arm and I was closely attached to him to show the people that has been following me that I'm dating the guy they least expect me to date.

I look at them and nudged my head in a cocky manner and smirked. Seeing the looks of disbelief and pure shock on their faces was entertainment for me. I told you, if I want it, I'll get it. And now... I got it.

"It's fine." I replied, pulling his arm closer to me. "We have to publicly show them our status so no one would try and make a move on any of us. Especially you." I look up at him with a serious gaze.

"Huh... but no one would even want to talk to me so how–" I put my index finger on his lips to shut him up for a moment. "I can get jealous pretty easily, so I don't want any woman near you." I said.

He gently scoffs and wrapped his hand around the finger I placed on his lips, bringing it down to his chest. "Even if this is plainly a contract between us, I'll treat you in a way that will make you feel special." He said in a whisper, like he only needed me to hear his honest words and nobody else. Just like that, he's already made me feel special.

"Do you have class later?" I nodded. "I'll wait for you by the fountain once it's over." I slightly tilted my head, "Why?" I asked him. He shows a small smile at me and engulfed my small hand compared to his huge hand, "I want to take you out on a date. Although it's not gonna be as fancy as what you probably had." He chuckled, slightly discouraged.

"Alright." I smiled, "I'll try my best to get out of class as soon as possible and come to you." I stood on my toes and gave him a light kiss on the lips before I parted ways from him. "I'll see you later!" I wave my hand before walking away.

Choso's PoV

I was sitting on a bench and to my far right was the fountain. I unconsciously put my finger on my lips where she kissed earlier before she went to class. I realized what I was doing and ruffled my hair. "Get it together.." I told myself.

I received multiple messages in my phone and I opened them all and saw the pictures that my younger siblings sent me. "Right. I'm doing this for their sake. I can't make a wrong move or else everything will go back to what it was." I look at the photos again and it brought a smile to my face.

"They look really happy. Thank goodness." I say in relief. I replied to all of their messages before putting my phone back in my pocket, sinking onto the bench as I waited. Since I was already waiting, I replayed the moments that she and I had.

I'm constantly thinking about her and in all honesty, she's not as bad as people make her out to be. She's just misunderstood, unless she intended for that to happen.

"Can I sit here for a moment? Thanks." Before I could say anything, a stranger suddenly sits down beside me. I glanced at the stranger and he had white hair and his eyes were blue. Strange guy.

I look around, "But there are like... four empty benches." I pointed out. "Ah.." he suddenly laughs awkwardly, "My bad! I hope you don't mind though. I actually have a few things to ask you." When he said that he had a few things to ask me, his tone changed and he scooted closer to me.

"What did she offer you?" I furrow my brows in confusion, "Are you talking about Ayako?" He nods in response. "I have no reason to tell you since it's a personal matter." I answered.

"Didn't you find it strange how she knew about your situation though?" I come to a halt when he mentioned that. "Looks like you overlooked it too." Wait... "Did you just say "too"?" He nods, "Yeah. I'm one of Ayako Mizuno's many exes. I'm Satoru Gojo by the way." What a way to introduce himself.

"If you have any questions, go ahead. I'll answer them all." He said. "How can I be sure that you're not ruining her image?" I asked him. He snickered and pushed his glasses up, "Trust me, man, I could never ruin her image. I'm actually still hung up on her– ah, but I'm not gonna get in between you two if you're worried about that happening." I stayed silent and let him talk more.

"I'll tell you how she dates people." Now that got my attention. "At first she'll give you everything you wanted. I'm sure you went through that stage already seeing how you look like a weight's been lifted off your shoulders." Is he a mind reader?

"The next one is crucial since you need to prove yourself to her. Take the lead and impress her. Not many people passed this stage and got dumped, but I was one of the few who succeeded." Did he just casually boasted about himself? He still got dumped in the end anyways, why does that matter.

"If you're wondering if she dumped me too, no. I just told her that I'm done and she simply let me go.", "What? That easily?!" He nodded. "Yeah, like she didn't even take the whole dating thing seriously. She remained detached while she was dating all those people, that's why it was no big deal for her to dump them or let them go."

I don't think that talking about Ayako in this way is right but... "Why are you telling me all this?" This whole situation just didn't seem right at all. It's like this guy was planning something.

"Make her actually fall in love with you."

"That's not gonna happen." I stood up, "Hold on, man!! If you do that, I can offer you more than what she offered you!" I looked at him dead in the eyes, "What she offered me, you can't go any more higher than that. And..."

"...You don't see her like how I do in my point of view."
