Another day, great weather. I'm the first one to arrive the bus stop again. Actually, it's on purpose. I just can't stand the anticipation, so I went here earlier than I always do, hoping she was already here. But she isn't, unfortunately.

I became conscious of myself looking at my wristwatch more than normal. Geez, I have to stop.

Without knowing, fifteen minutes had passed and Tzuyu's still a no show. I wish I could just casually show up on their doorstep and ask for her and we'd both just go to school by walking together.

I can wish, can't I?

Call it what you will, but I'm not confident around girls. And Tzuyu's not just a girl, mind you. I don't know, there's something about her. I just feel it.

If only I have the courage to go out and even talk to her at least.

The bus arrived, however, Tzuyu didn't. I sighed. Crap. She's not around. My morning's gone to waste. Probably my whole day too.

Soon as I entered the bus, the same driver looked around outside, searching.

"Where's the girl?" he asked, looking at me as if I normally have the knowledge on her whereabouts.

"I dunno," I looked out from where I was standing seconds ago. "Maybe she's skipping class today."

"Ah, too bad." He dragged his eyes back on the road and continued moving.

I sat down beside my friends again, passing by her friends at their usual seats.

"Hey Gyu! You up for the tournament later?" Jun questioned me just as I sat down.

"What tournament?"

"Dude, you've been out of your head lately. The Starcraft Tournament!" Wonwoo, being Wonwoo, explained rather loudly making few of the other students around us look at us, glaring.

"Oh, right."

"So?" Wonwoo looked like he really anticipated my answer.

"I don't know. I'm not in the mood."

Jun burst out, "But we need you in the team! We bet on it, didn't we? If we win, that's a huge sum of money." He shook my shoulder a bit.

"Fine! Jeez. Whatever gets you off my back."

"Whatever, we'll take it." Wonwoo snickered.

"Where's Kookie, anyway?"

"Aish, that guy. He didn't respond to my DMs last night, I told him we had to join today's tournament, he's not even seen the messages." Jun added, looking annoyed as shit.

"Why are you so obsessed with this tournament anyway?"

"Yah! I told you! We bet on it! All of us! Plus I'm saving for my goddamn car! Youguysannoythehellouttame."
