"What the fuck did you do this time, you—you turd?!" Iwaizumi's girlfriend asked me accusingly the second we got there, glaring daggers at me like she used to during high school.

"Nice to see you too, Aiko-chan" I smiled at her, acting as if I didn't know that Minoru most likely left early because of me.

"I thought you were with Hoshino?" Iwaizumi sat beside her as I sat on the seat in front of them. He grabs Aiko's iced coffee on the table and takes a sip from the plastic straw.

"I was" she said, pointing to me "She bolted after hearing that this guy would come with you".

Iwa-chan gave me a flat look.

"Hey! How could you immediately accuse me without any ounce of doubt?!" I feign innocence.

"Noru only acts like that when it comes to you" she declares straightly.

"Aiko has a point, Trashykawa" Iwaizumi sides with her and I pout.

"You're just siding with your girlfriend—" and right on cue, I immediately saw the vein on his forehead as I was given one of Iwa-chan's signature smacks.

"That hurts, Iwa-chan!" I exclaim quietly knowing we were in a public place.

"Get your shit together. What did you even do this time?" he asks me letting out a huff.

"I asked her if I could stop waiting and hear her answer already—" I confess to the couple in front of me as they give me dead look.

"You know, I really don't understand why you'd befriend a shit like him" Aiko turns to Iwaizumi as he nods unanimously.

Iwaizumi tells her, loud enough for me to hear what they were saying, "Honestly, I never thought he'd get shittier than this. He really is shit. The shittiest of the—"

"Okay! Okay!" I cut him off. "I was stupid, I get it okay? But I can't meet up with her to take it back. I can't even call her. She's avoiding me for god's sake. Honestly maybe I don't have a chance after all, seeing as she'd react that bad".

"Man, you really are stupid" Aiko sighs exasperatedly, as I glance at Iwa-chan who was using his cellphone from the corner of my eye.

"Noru isn't cruel. If you didn't have a chance she would have told you not to wait. If you didn't have a chance then why hasn't she shot you down straightly like those guys from her university that confesses to her? If you didn't have a chance she wouldn't raise your hopes up for nothing. I would honestly love to get in your way but I don't want to ruin her happiness. She has a hard time being selfish rather, she can't. She doesn't take what she wants and just waits for them to leave. I don't know if she likes you, but you are definitely important to her so, if you're fine with losing her again then I won't tell you off, but make sure you steer clear this time. Then again, if you actually do have feelings for her, grow some balls and talk to her, dammit."
