You groaned in annoyance as you scrolled through your timeline again. Just how many times does he has to update his status? He's even more girly than you are. Most of his update is picturing his depression, or more likely desperation.
Will you ever notice me...?
It hurts when someone whose attention matters the most to you ignored you..
It feels like I'm holding on to nothing...
It all began about two weeks ago.

You were having a friendly conversation with some of your friends, (Friend's Name), (Random Guy Name #1), (Random Guy Name #2).
It was a fine conversation, until when they suddenly started to talk about you and (Random Guy #2) made fun of you about you having your little concert in the restroom.
You and (Friend's Name) knew that he made it up so you just let it pass by.
Though, (Random Guy #1) was uncontrollably laughing, in a over reacting manner. Almost if he fakes his laugh.
You just shrugged it off, probably he's on a sugar rush or something like that.
On your way home, (Friend's Name) suddenly spoke, "Dude, it's really obvious that (Random Guy #1) likes you." He/she sighed.
"What? You must be kidding. I'm nothing special-"
"Oh, please, don't do the im-nothing-special-none-of-the-guys-would-have-take-interest-on-me. I bet I know you better than you do." He/she cut you off, "Remember when we walked past him the other day? His face is all flushed red whenever you pass, I can tell. And just some moments ago? Whenever we talked about you, he would overreact like laughing louder, and I saw his cheeks getting red. And, the most important, he always tries to strike a conversation with you whenever he could just moments ago. Is that not convincing enough?"
"Yes...?"
"Damn you and your evidences." (Friend's Name) facepalmed, "Listen, I've been suspicious about him having a crush on you, and I have some pretty concrete evidence for that. Upon the mention of your name, his eyes would widen, his ears and cheeks is dusted with a tint of pink. When we walks past him, I noticed that his friend's gaze would follow you, and he would follow his friend's gaze until it stops at you and he would stare at you until your figure disappeared. Am I supposed to say another evidence?"
"Maybe? I still couldn't believe it." You mumbled in confusion.
"So done with you." (Friend's Name) grumbled.

And so, you eventually found out that (Random Guy #1) is having a crush on you.
It's been roughly a month and half, but he wouldn't give up on you.
He should've been giving up long time ago. First, you barely know him. You only know him just because you were classmates for two years, even in those two years, you barely talk to each other. Second, you take no interest on boys in your school, because you considered them all as ugly narcissistic boys.
You'd rather having Takao, your best friend as your boyfriend than him, seriously.
Or maybe your preferences came out of your crush for Takao. Even though you like him, you'd always mask it off.
Your heart only belongs to him, after all.
You slumped your head against your desk and groaned. Sometimes, you wished that he would just disappear."Yo, (First Name)-chan." Takao called out to you. You stayed still, groaning on your table.
"Oi, wake up. It's recess time, you know." He poked your cheek.
"Not hungry." You groaned.
Takao raised an eyebrow, "Ah, I know! It must be about (Random Guy #1), am I right?"
You once told him about that desperate guy.
"The hopeless desperate." Your voice is muffled by your hand.
"Don't mind him. He's just desperate, that's all." He patted your head, "Come on, let's go grab some snacks!" He brought you to your feet and dragged you out of the class.

"Shin-chan, what am I supposed to do now??" Takao whined.
"Don't bother me, go bother someone else." Midorima is getting pissed off.
Ever since Takao is having crush on (Last Name) (First Name), he would bug him non-stop about relationship advices, which is not his forte. Moreover, Takao refused to take on his horoscope-based advice.
Even though its not his place to even question it, he doesn't understand why Takao likes her so much.
Well, Takao's heart is only nailed on yours.
"Shin-chan you're so mean! I'm really confused right here! What if (First Name) actually likes (Random Guy #1)?!"
Midorima pushed his glasses up, "Whatever, just ask her or confess to her." He said, irritated.
"As if you have the guts to do that, Shin-chan."
"I don't have any crush, Bakao."
"Well, for the first time you could actually answer me." He flashed a toothy grin, "Thanks, Shin-chan!"
"Don't call me that, Bakao!"

You were just walking out of the library as (Random Guy #1) stopped you midway.
"I need to talk to you."
You huffed, "What is it?"
"I--"
You noticed Takao dashing to where you two were at, and after a moment, he pulled your hand,
"Excuse me, you don't mind if I borrow her for a while? You don't mind? Good, bye then!" Takao pulled you as you both dashed off the hallway, leaving (Random Guy #1) both astonished and confused.
You panted as you finally came to a stop, "W-why d-did you have to drag me with you?"
Takao scratched his head, "Well, I overheard his plan on confessing to you."
"Thank you then, for saving me from the most awkward moment."
A moment of silence.
"There's something I'd like to say." You both say in unison.
You blinked.
He blinked.
"You go first." Said Takao
"No, you go first."
"Fine." He took a deep breath, "I.... like you...." he said.
You were in shock, and you could've sworn that you stopped breathing for three seconds.
"I.. actually like you too..." you mumbled softly to him, while your eyes is on the floor.
"Really?" He stared at you. You nodded.
"Now kiss you love birds!" You heard (Friend's Name) shouting from afar, followed with multiple 'shut-up'.
Your cheek were flushed in pink as Takao took your hand in his.

Two days after Takao confessed to you, (Random Guy #1) stopped updating statuses. Well, you could careless about him.
You refreshed your timeline as you noticed Takao posted the picture of you two with a caption,
Me and my girl <3
A smile made it's way up to your face as you liked his post.
