I woke up feeling fresh and ready to tackle my task. In the past, chasing boys was easy. All you do is flip your hair, act helpless, and laugh at their stupid jokes. Sexist very, but I was using those guys anyway so it was almost worth it. They got a cute girlfriend and I got presents, maybe I was also being a bit sexist myself. I've never dated a girl, but girls can't be too much different, right?


...Wrong. Anything I assumed about dating, completely and utterly wrong with Mei. I tried my best and she wouldn't budge. I think she might hate me even more. Walking over to my desk, I plopped down and sighed loudly.

"Yuzuchi~ What's wrong?" Harumin hummed, knowingly.

"N-Nothing." I lied.

"I can tell you're lying. I told you she is hard to get. Good luck cracking that hard outer shell of hers. Looks like that shopping spree is as good as mine." Harumin gloated placing her hand over her large chest and chuckling.

"It's not over yet. It's only been a few days. As if I would give up." Perking up.

Flat out asking her out was pointless since we were on such bad terms and secretly courting her was out of the question. Somehow I had to prove my worthiness to her. I sat at my desk pondering how I could do this.

"Hey Harumin, how long have you known Mei? I said trying from a different angle.

"Long enough to know conventional ways of courting won't be easy with her." She laughed loudly.

Hmm, my best friend wasn't making this any easier.

After a whole week of getting on Mei's nerves, I decided to try something different. The more I tried to court her the more she got pissed at me.

"Yuzu get away from me this instant." Mei shouted in my direction.

"Come on, just give me a chance." I begged, trying my hardest to win her over.

"Look you are delinquent, I don't have time for people like you!" Walking away from me.

"So, it isn't because I'm a girl?" Trying to figure her out, walking behind her.

"....." She stopped and looked in my direction. I could see a light blush, I knew I still had a chance.

"Ahh.. I'm right." As soon as I flashed a wide grin she slammed the door to the student council room in my face.

Back at home I noticed my natural roots beginning to show. A thought hit, what if I pretend to have changed? Maybe then she will think I am serious about her. It could work. That night I dyed my hair back to its natural color. When morning came I wore my clothes correctly and only left a little make-up.

This time for sure, I will make her mine.

"Oh, Miss President good morning." I greeted her politely. Mei took a double take.

"Yu-Yuzu-san. Good morning." Mei stood quiet momentarily, then walked off muttering to herself. I didn't think Mei could make a face like that. Lately, I'd spent my time watching her when I had free time. Today was the first time I saw her really smile, not like smiles she gave so often to others. There was genuine expression behind it. It was cute.

"What has you so distracted today Yuzu?" Harumin propping her arms on my desk across from me.
"Huh? Uh nothing." Shaking my head. Most of first period thoughts of Mei's smile kept creeping back in my head.

"I kinda want to see it again." Not realizing I spoke those words aloud.


"You want to see what?" Harumin glanced over at me and so did the rest ofclass.

"Nothing, sorry." I said feeling mortified. Shaking my head, no I need to gether back for the way she treated me. I will win this bet!
