That Should Be Me [A Short Story (Fanfiction)]

Part I: That One Lonely Girl

"I'm leaving you, Cath-chan." Daiki firmly said to Catherine.

"I ... I don't believe you." Cath emotionally replied to Daiki.

"I know you'll gonna find someone better than me." Daiki assured her.

"NO!" Cath firmly shouted at him. "I WILL WAIT FOR YOU NO MATTER HOW LONG IT TAKES!"

"Don't you get it?!" Daiki yelled back. "I will never come back! I will never return to this place, so let as well end this."

"DAI-CHAN!" Cath shouted his name as Daiki pick himself up and leave.

"Goodbye." Daiki bid her while looking at her eyes sternly.

That was the last time Cath saw Daiki again.

Her heart was left shattered as he leaves her and this town, to chase his dream as a DJ.

She did not expect that their blissful year of relationship, was torn by a one 'goodbye'.

All that was left for her was these happy memories. Memories that gives her pain in her heart.

"I bet Firipin-chan will confess to me on Valentine's day." Yuya Takaki boastfully said as he stretches his both hands in the air.

"Hah! You wish!" Kei Inoo fabulously replied as he sat on top of Yuyan's desk.

"You two really think Firipin-chan will like you back, huh?" Daiki Arioka laugh at them while looking at the two betting on who will receive chocolates from Cath Nodado, A.K.A, 'Firipin-chan'.

"Well, Firipin-chan is really beautiful and cheerful." Yuyan describe her to Daiki.

"Not to mention smart too." Kei added.

Daiki just scratch his chin and nod his head, agreeing to what the two said.

"Ah, I know." Daiki thought of an idea. "Whoever the two of you got a chocolate from Firipin-chan, will win. The loser will treat lunch."

Kei raise his hand, reaching his concern to his curly-haired cousin. "What if Firipin-chan likes someone else?"

"Then you two will treat ME lunch." Daiki answered while grinning.

"EH?! No fair!!" The two reacted in unison, but in the end, they agree to Daiki's terms.

For they are confident that one of them is the one that Cath likes, and there would be no one else, especially Daiki.

Valentine's day arrived. Every guy in the school receives chocolates from girls.

Every guy, except ...

"That's okay, Dai-chan." Kei cheered him up. "Maybe there's one girl who likes you. She's just shy."

"It's okay." Daiki lied, though deep inside, he's jealous.

"Ah, Firipin-chan!" Someone called out from one of their classmates.
