POV (Point of View)

Chapter 19: First Date

"Well, as long as Ami-chan is happy, I am too."

Just as a certain black-haired says that she felt someone's presence creeping behind her.

"I knew I recognize that black hair and eyeglasses." And when she turned around, she meets eyes with a tall male with dark-colored hair, blue eyes, and eyeglasses like her.

"It's been a while, Samidori-san." She frowned trying to remember where she has met this man...but memory serves a bit slow.

"I see that somebody forgot. I'm a bit offended." The man says and scratches his nape. Her eyes widened when a name popped in her mind.

"Ah! You're Mio Namiya-kun, the student council's vice-president!" She exclaimed wide and smiled, which made the man smile back.

"That's right. I thought you have forgotten about me."

"Sorry. I was a bit occupied earlier. How have you been?"

"All good. What about you?"

"All good, too." With the air so light, the two exchanged words. It was after that one that things suddenly turned quiet.

"Well uh...I guess I'll get going now. See you around, Namiya-kun." The female says and was about to walk away but...

"Wait, Samidori-san." She turns back around and sees the man's slightly pinkish cheeks.

"If it's alright, can I ask you a question?"

"Yes, it's okay. What is it?"

"The man you were with earlier, is he your boyfriend?"

And the woman turned silent.

Wait. Is this what she thinks it is?

"Oh, him? No. Absolutely not. He's more into Asami than me. You know the usual drill. Why do you ask?" She asks, slightly...hopeful. How she hopes she's right.

But all her hopes went to the moon when the man suddenly smiled.

"Is that so? That's good. If it's alright with you...can we hang out next Saturday?"

And there it is! Hallelujah! Somebody finally asked her that kind of question with that kind of expression! How giddy she felt. But of course, she must hide it. 

"Next Saturday? Yes, sure. That's cool with me." Answering gleefully, she answered the male who returned that smile.

"Cool. See you next week, then. Saturday, Tokyo Midtown, 9 o'clock." Was what the man said before they bid each other goodbye.

And it is all because of it that Sarina spent all her week in glee and excitement of her first date. Which brings her to her decision to go thrift shopping on a Saturday to choose her outfit to slay the day and to bless her date's eyes.

And by her date, she doesn't mean...Rindou Haitani.

But boy...how she hopes that she could go on a date with someone as handsome as him. 

"Hey, check out that guy wearing navy blue."

"I know, right? He's so handsome."

"Do you think he's a celebrity?"

"Totally, right? Should we go talk to him?"

"I don't know. He looks serious and cold. What if he just ignores us?"
