Meredy's P.O.V

Oh my god... I'm actually friends with a bully. H-how did this happen so fast?! But turns out, Airis isn't that bad after all. If he was, I could have not tell him to call me "Meredy".

Anyway, as I went home, Nicholas called me and apologized about the incident at the cafeteria. I didn't really want to forgive since he was a jerk, but he's my best friend. I can't stay mad at him. So I forgave him.

Back to Ai-kun, he's the person who threatened me yesterday and who helped me in the infirmary... Ugh, why did I have to rub his hair! It's so soft! I feel so tempted to do it again.

While I was eating dinner, I was thinking if I can ask both Nicholas and Airis to come over to my house to do a story party. But two boys and only a girl? Oh hell no. I ain't going to handle the chaos of two boys. Speaking of the devils, I don't think it's good to invite both of them together because of... You know what happened yesterday.

But I'm not sure if I should invite one of them... Maybe I should invite Ai-kun! That way, we can have a chance to know each other!

--10 minutes later--

Okay! I've truly decided to invite Airis! I sent the messages already, and since he said he's always on, I hope he sees it!

Airis's P.O.V

I think I just peed a little. Seeing Meredy's message made me wanna freak out and jump everywhere. I'd even go to the center of the world and shout:

"I WANNA GO OUT WITH YOU, MEREDY!"

I'd do anything to let anyone know about my love for her... Except Meredy, herself, of course. I mean, would the victim ever have a crush on the same bully who bullied him/her?

I gotta put my fantasies aside, because who knows? I might spill my feelings accidentally in a wrong time and now I'll die as a "Full-Time Idiot Awardee".

Anyway, of course I said yes to her invite! I mean, as if I have anything to do this weekend.

Meredy's P.O.V

He actually said yes...

Okay then... No turning back now.

--the next day--

"MOOOOOOOOM!" I yelled as I showed her my two outfits. "Which one is better?!"

"To be honest, it's the garbage bag!" She yelled back. "Not that it's better on you, but it suits you!"

"Haha..." I said, rolling my eyes at her. "Very funny, mom."

I didn't really know which outfit I will pick, so I chose the outfit which contains a white crop top, denim jacket, red tartan skirt, and brown boots.

I went out with my bag and my wallet. Now, if you still remember, I said that the study party will be in my house... Well... Let's just say there has been a change of plans.

I'm supposed to meet up Airis in the amusement park, but I couldn't find him. He seems late, I guess?

"Hey, weirdo," a familiar voice said. I turned back saw it was Airis. It would have been awkward if Nicholas was joining because... You know why.

"Oh, hey, Ai-kun!" I said. Then, I noticed there were people behind him.

"Sorry, those are my cousins," he explained. "They wanted to come also."

Before I could reply, all 3 cousins rushed to me with wide smiles. Is it just me or is that really creepy?!

One cousin named Mist came closer and apparently gave me "a memory that I'll always remember"...

...which is a deep, tight hug. And also some hysterical screaming.

"I can't believe it!" She yelled, while shaking me back and forth. "I AM MEETING THE GIRLFRIEND OF AIRIS!"

G-girlfriend...?!

"Hey, Meredith!" Another cousin named Sae greeted. "SO HOW IS THE LOVE BETWEEN YOU AND OUR BELOVED IDIOT?!"

L-love...?!

"Hi, Mere!" The last cousin named Mio said calmly. "I'm so sorry to ask this, but when will you let Airis-kun take your hand of marriage?"

Marriage...?!

WH-WHAT IS THIS MONSTROSITY I AM IN RIGHT NOW?!

---

Airis's P.O.V

"STOP MAKING MEREDY FEEL UNCOMFORTABLE, YOU RETARDS!" I snapped. I didn't want Meredy to feel weird around me after this hang out. Plus, where did they get that kind of idea anyway?! Wattpad?!

And marriage?! What is going on inside their damned heads?!

"You girls can do whatever you want here," I sighed, annoyed. "Just don't bug me and Meredy, okay?"

With their "Lenny face", they looked at me and said in-sync: "WE WILL NOT BOTHER YOU GUYS, PROMISE!"

Meredy looked really creeped out so before those idiotic cousins of mine speak again, I grabbed her hand immediately ran to a far away place where they wouldn't find us.

"Your cousins are really interesting, Ai-kun," Meredy said, still gasping for air.

"Don't mention it," I whispered.

We were trying out some rides and games for a while. I even showed my scared side to Meredy on one of the rides. It was embarrassing since in shown to be a tough guy... I'll cross that out now.

"Hey, Airis," Meredy pointed to the Ferris wheel. "Let's go there next!"

"Sure-" someone interrupted.

Nicholas suddenly appeared out of nowhere. "Why the hell are you with my girlfriend?!" He questioned me sternly.

"N-Nicholas?!" Meredy exclaimed. "What are YOU doing here?!"

I was scared to make a scene because that might affect Meredy's perspective of me. So I decided to shut up for once.

"You could have told me that you were with someone else!" He barked. "And you," he point at me. "Don't you dare hurting my girlfriend! Let alone steal her from me!"

I was gonna answer back, but Meredy grabbed my wrist and headed to the Ferris wheel. We went in one of those carts and the Ferris wheel immediately moved. Before we knew it, we were in the top already.

"I can see every house and building here!" Meredy exclaimed. "And Nicholas too!"

It felt so awkward to hear Nicholas's name so I just laughed it off.

Wait...

What did this hang out mean...?

Is this even a hang out...?

Or is this a date...?

NOPE! I AIN'T GONNA THINK ABOUT THIS NOW! I MIGHT END UP SPILLING MY FEELINGS AND MAKE A FOOL OF MYSELF!

But damn... This feels nice... This isn't a dream, is it?

If it is, then please...

Don't ever wake me up.
