I Met Her on The Subway [MonaRisa]

Part 3 (Finale)

I am so ecstatic right now. Even though I didn't sleep much last night, I was full of energy. How could I not be? Manaka and I were going to have our first date today.

I was so nervous about what I was going to wearing. Should I go with a pair of jeans? Should I wear a long sleeve shirt? I spent a lot of time deciding on my wardrobe for the day. In the end, I decided upon a skirt and blouse.

"Risa!" I was brought back from my thoughts by someone suddenly calling my name from behind me.

I turned around to see who was calling me. Just like I expected, it was Manaka. She was running towards me.

Manaka was panting heavily when she stopped in front of me, "Am I late? Have you been waiting long?"

"Hello Manaka. No, you're just on time. I just got to the station too," I replied to Manaka, but the truth was that I have been here for two hours already. I was too excited for this date and just ended up coming here early.

Manaka heaved a sigh of relief, "I am glad. Hey, what do you think of my outfit?"

My eyes shifted down to Manaka's outfit. It was cute, and I liked it. But there was something familiar about it. Something very familiar about it...

I suddenly heard a click of a camera. Manaka had her phone out and it was pointed directly at me. She gave me a wink when our eyes met.

My eyes opened wide in realization, "Don't tell me... You knew?"

"That's revenge," Manaka had a smirk on her face.

I looked at the ground in embarrassment. My cheeks became flushed. I can't believe that she knew what I did. This is so embarrassing. She doesn't hate me, right?

Manaka grabbed my hands. I looked up and was surprised to see her face a few inches from my face. My face went completely red as my heart beated faster. She was staring deeply into my eyes. I could see my reflection in her deep brown orbs.

Manaka leaned in towards my ear. "Don't worry, I love that part of you too," she whispered into my ears.

"Wh-wh-what?" I managed to give a response.

Manaka backed away from me, and began to laugh uncontrollably, "Risa, you should see your face right now! It's hilarious! I honestly can't get enough of it."

I pouted at Manaka, "Mou! I hate you Manaka! I'm leaving!"

I then began to walk away from Manaka. I wasn't actually mad at her, but I wanted to get revenge on her for teasing me. She doesn't control herself when she teases me. It irritated me because it kept on making me lose control of my emotions, but I can't complain because it made me fall deeper in love with her.

It seemed that Manaka's biggest weakness was when I was mad at her. She couldn't handle having me mad at her. She tried her best to get my forgiveness and make me happy again. This time I wanted to get back at her for teasing me.

"Wait! Risa, come back! I'm sorry!" Manaka ran after me.

I suddenly turned around, stopping Manaka in her tracks. There was an angry expression on my face, "No, Manaka! I'm tired of your teasing! I've had enough!" I crossed my arms and turned around.

There was a grin on my face that Manaka couldn't see. I knew for sure that my reaction would force another reaction out of Manaka. I waited a few moments, but there was no reaction from Manaka. All of a sudden I heard sobbing coming from me.

I turned around to see Manaka crying with her hands covering her face. It surprised me to see her crying from my teasing. My heart sank as it felt guilty for causing this pain towards her just for revenge. It turns out that my weakness was seeing Manaka in such a vulnerable position.
