"p-please go with me to the dance!" shanz said, bowing at a full ninety degrees.

she felt her hair being ruffled, and she looked up into a pair of smiling eyes, as well as her crush, mickey, saying, "sure!"

"...and then he accepted!" shanz said proudly, hugging herself.

"really?" qian asked as shanz nodded, then yelled, "oh my god congrats i'm so proud of you!"

"what's so good about him?" hinata grumbed, poking at his bento, "he's gone out with almost every girl in school."

"aw, don't be a sour puss, shoyo!" shanz laughed.

on the actual day of the dance, shanz trailed behind mickey. he didn't pay much attention to her. he was just talking to his friends while she was just standing behind him, downing herself in fruit punch.

"yo mate!" one of his friends yelled as he gave mickey a fistbump, "is this your girlfriend?"

"nah, she's a friend," he answered, "pretty much a bro."

those words stabbed her right in the heart. she wasn't even being treated as a date. she was trailing behind him like a lost puppy. horrible.

"are you coming?" mickey asked as he and his friends were about to head off somewhere in the hall.

"nah, i gotta go, my mom needs me," shanz lied, shaking her head.

"okay," he said, before heading off.

she turned and headed outside. she found a nearby bench to sit on. sniffing, she whipped her phone out and texted the news to qian, who blueticked her.

nice friends i have, she thought as she stared off into the sky.

suddenly, her phone rang, with the caller id displayed as "shöyö". (shanz had a weird habit of writing her contact names with german alphabets)

"h-hello?" she sniffed as she answered the phone.

"shanz? are you okay? qian told me everything," hinata gabbered on the other line, "where are you?"

she told him where she was, and he said he would get her. sure enough, he came running towards her a few minutes later, sweaty and slightly out of breath.

upon reaching her, he did what he knew she liked and needed best. wrapping his arms around her, he enveloped her into a tight and warm hug. she returned the hug and let out soft sobs in his chest.

"that guy was a dumbass," hinata muttered, "he doesn't even know how great you are."

as they pulled away, shanz gazed into his brown orbs. they held slight anger in them, yet reflected sincerity and love as well.

"shanz," he began softly, turning as red as the nekoma jersey, "w-will you g-go out w-with me?"

as she stared at him, dumbfounded, he continued, "i've known you for quite a while, and i know what you need!"

he was right. she recalled every single time she fell for someone but then got broken, and he was there for her.

as she gazed into his eyes, she had only one answer.

the two were dating for a week ever since the dance, and everything was smooth-sailing.

as hinata gave shanz another quick hug, mickey approached them.

"aw, shanz, i thought you liked me?" he asked.

she scoffed, before grabbing hinata's hand and saying before walking away, "sorry, i don't like flirtarious pricks like you."
