unfamiliar feelings ~ Asuka x Shiroi (oc's)

{20}

Today was the day, the day Ume planned on confessing. And I was still debating whether to tell Shiroi I like her as well or not to. The more of a deal I make it in my head, the more anxious and nervous I get. I was pretending like I was fine with Ume's decision but in reality, I was sad and scared. Scared that Shiroi will like her back. This feeling made me crazy and I could barely focus in class or anywhere else, I kept zoning off because of this thought in my head that Shiroi might like Ume back. I just couldn't feel happy for Ume at that thought. I wish I could be but I can't.

"Asuka, we haven't hung out in a while, wanna go to that park near here today?"
"Hm? Oh uh yes of course." I replied to Shiroi's question.
"Great then, should I pick you up or do you wanna meet up there?"
"Let's just meet there, picking me up would be too much, don't you think?"
"If you say so but I really wouldn't have minded."
Shiroi and I agreed at what time to meet up and as we finished sweeping the floor, we took our bags and left the school. I wasn't sure where Ume was and when she intended on confessing but honestly, I didnt even want to think about that now. Now, I should just have fun with Shiroi like the good old times.

--an hour later--

I arrived at the entrance of this gorgeous park. There were so many fascinating flowers everywhere and the best part of it: they smelled amazing! I was sniffing the flowers as I noticed someone behind me, a presence.
"Shiroi?" I turned around and it was indeed her, wearing a long white skirt with a tshirt. It suited her and she looked good in that outfit.
"That would be me, yes." She said casually smiling.
I smiled back and we started walking around the park, embracing it's beautifulness.

"No wonder why I see so many couples here all the time, this place is really romantic, dont you think?" Shiroi asked and I nodded. It was a great place to picnic with your friends or with your partner perhaps.

"So. What do you want to do today? It's friday and we didn't receive any homework since the Summer holidays are so close! Should we eat at that ramen place again?" Shiroi continued talking about the things we could do today. She seemed so excited to hang out with me and it reassured me a bit and gave me hope. In the back of my mind I was still thinking about Ume and her plan. Was she going to go through it? Knowing her, she will..

"Let's just do what you want." I told her, smiling slightly.
"Well then, we should continue walking around this park, it's huge and I need to take a look at those flowers over there!" She pointed to some red flowers far far away and I nodded to her plan.
During our walk there, she was the one leading the conversation as usual and I was listening to her voice talk about the most random stuff.

After we arrived at the end of the park, Shiroi was finally able to take pictures of the flowers she was waiting to see. She was right, they were absolutely gorgeous. I have to be honest, her talking made me stop thinking about the bad stuff for a while and actually distracted me from it. Hearing her talk made me less stressed.

"I think that's enough" I said while chuckling, watching her take a million pictures of one flower.
"One last pic. Voila! I'll post this on my Insta." She did that and we started heading to a different gate of the park to leave. Shiroi wanted to visit the ramen place me, Ichika and her ate at. I was hungry so a bowl of ramen would be very good..

Before we reached the gate, a few raindrops came down on us and as I looked up, the sky had really gotten gray compared to when I stepped out of my house. I didn't check the weather today so I didn't bring an umbrella. Another stupid move, Asuka.

"I didn't bring an umbrella, did you?" Shiroi asked and I disappointedly shaked my head. We were going to get really wet if it starts pouring like crazy.

Soon enough, it did and we had to use our bags to cover our hair from getting wet. It was indeed pouring like crazy and our only choice was now to run to the ramen shop. It wasn't too far away but it would take us a while in this condition.
"Oh man, we are SO wet!" I took a look out ourselves while running and she was right, we were. Ume probably wouldn't want to confess in these weather conditions, would she? I don't know, I don't want to know right now, I just want to have fun with Shiroi right now so focus up Asuka.
