So, this is how it's like (Mayumiko)

Part 3: Too much energy wasted

That night, Mayu threw himself in bed. For the first time, he couldn't sleep as easily. So Mikoshiba is Mamiko after all... putting Mamiko's personal thoughts and Mikoshiba all together just made Mayu...

Fall in love with him even more.

'Mamiko' was a great person in his opinion. Of couse, she reminded him of Mikoto-san, but it wasn't him. Or well, now he knew it was.

He didn't know when exactly he started crushing on his older friend. He just knew that he'd walk a long distance, or be willing to stay awake for longer, just to see him. He knew he was being cheesy, but he loved how happy he got when talking about his new videogames or action figures. He loved how Mikoshiba already understood him through his lack of speech. He loved how smart and funny he could be. His good intentions, his ability to help his friends. Mikoshiba was in fact amazing, but he was too self-conscious to realize it.

Having feelings for someone was too much work, but Mayu couldn't let his laziness win this time. It hurt.

As bad as Mikoshiba was with girls, he knew that he may still be attracted to them. He liked those magazines, games and everything with big boobs. There's no way he had a chance, was there?

Mayu really wanted to fall asleep and wake up without feeling this way towards him.

The waterpark looked quite scary in Mikoshiba's opinion.

There were water slides that seemed decent enough, aka the only ones he went for. But there were also others that were too tall and took you through a 90° fall.

Seo seemed to enjoy it a LOT, which was a bit psycho-like. Wakamatsu could manage as long as Seo wasn't the one pushing him.

Nozaki led Sakura by the hand again. She wasn't gonna get lost and he'd make sure of it. Sakura was too dazed to focus on the slides, and the fact that they finished on a 9-feet pool. Nozaki pulled her out by the hair to the border.

"Ow, Nozaki-kun!" That had to hurt.

"You okay?"

"I CAN SWIM, IDIOT!"

"But you usually wear floaties. And you were at the bottom of a deep pool"

"I wear them cause it's easier to float. And I was swimming back to the surface, actually!"

Nozaki was blushing?

This wasn't something Mikoshiba should've been looking at. Ignoring Nozaki and Sakura's tender staring moment that had no actual progress, he turned to look at Mayu, who happened to, of course, be sleeping on a bench.

That Mayu was really something, huh? He always found a way to boycott everything and have it the easy way. What'd he come here for if he would just be sleeping around?

He heard bickering from afar. 'It never ends' he mentally sighed as he looked over Hori and Kashima.

"KASHIMA! STOP TRYING TO PUT A BIKINI ON ME" Hori yelled.

"But you'd look so pretty" Kashima pouted. She was stopped when two girls grabbed either of her arms.

"Hello, handsome. Wanna go down the slide with me?" One of them, with long, brown hair asked.
