Today was really strange.

Let me start from the beginning. So today before class I was hanging out with Momoko and her friend Taemin. We just sat and talked pretty much, laughing and having some fun. Well, the bell rang so we all headed towards the classroom.

I sat beside Momoko in the back, still talking with her. We had this budding friendship and I just... she's so easy for me to talk to. She's so sweet and understanding. It's like i could just tell her anything. I was going to ask if she wanted to meet up tonight and get some dinner but i was interrupted.

Takete had come over and took my hand which made my eyes go wide. I could feel my ears burning but my hair covered it. I'm just glad he didn't notice. He pulled me away to a spot that was less crowded and I could tell he was struggling a bit.

He asked me on a date.

He asked me—Daiki Matsuoka, his so called rival—on a date.

And it was like my heart was about to rip out of my rib cage. Time completely slowed down and it was really weird.

But i was happy.

I was so so so happy.

I had this huge smile on my face the entire day. When i went back, Momoko looked at me in concern. It looked like she wanted to tell me something but she couldn't bring herself to say it.

Anyway, I'm super excited for tonight. Hell, I thought he'd hate me. I thought he'd never want to take me out. I thought he wanted Chika, but here we are. I'm so excited.

But i feel bad still about Chiyoe and Chika. I just hope they won't be mad at Takete. I'm the one they can be mad at. If they want someone to hate, they can hate me.

But no one should hate Takete. He can be a good guy, i know it.
