Chapter 2: His Horizon

My heart beats so fast. I am really, really nervous. This is it. This is the day. "Atsushi, be a man," I repeatedly tell to myself. Just give your gifts and greet her, 'Happy Birthday!', and then smile. As simple as that. You are a man, right?

But as I approach her seat, my courage dissipates. "Urgh, be man, Atsushi! This is an easy thing to do!" I exclaimed on my mind.

Today is her birthday.

Mayu Kanzaki's birthday.

I confessed my feelings way back middle school, and got rejected. I thought after that incident, I can finally move on and forget her.

But, man, I was wrong.

Totally, wrong.

This feeling inside me becomes stronger and stronger each day.

Urgh. I speak like a romantic cheesy guy. This is totally not me...

Anyway, this feeling made me build up the courage to buy her flowers and gift for her birthday. I know I have no chance for her, but still, I want to show my feelings to her..

It is lunch break, so only my classmates are in the room. It is better than having sensei around. Besides, they already know that I have feelings for Kanzaki.

I approached her. She is alone, reading a book. My classmates suddenly became quiet. I turn to them, and they all watch me closely. Urgh, that doesn't help. Only she didn't divert her attention to me because she is engrossed on what she is reading. I stopped right in front of her. Fortunately, she looks up, and recognizes me. "Atsushi-kun, may I help you?" and she flashes the beautiful smile of hers.

That smile of hers made my heart skip. I'm sure I am blushing right now. "Uh—uh-..." I am loss for words. 

"Kanzaki-san, Happy Bi-birthday.." I finally said. I extend my hands to her, bowing as I do so. "Please accept my flowers and this gift!" I blurted out. I heared my classmates say 'aww' and that's my cue to face Kanzaki. She is in beet red too! 

"Arigato, Atsushi-kun. You are sweet." Despite what happened, she gave her sweet smile. The class became like wild animals. The males are teasing both of us while the females congratulate and giggle. I find my bestfriend, Koizumi, looking at me. She gives me an 'ok' sign and smiles encouragingly. Despite this embarrassing moment, I am happy.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

The school ended and I run towards my bestfriend and neighbor, Koizumi Risa. We've known each other since birth. Funny thing we still call each other with our last names, I think because we always tease and 'fight' against each other, mostly our height complexes. Despite that, I consider her my best friend.

"Koizumi!"

Koizumi turns her head and starts to tease me, "Oh, the brave one!" She shields herself from me, like I am her enemy, then surrenders herself and position an 'All-Hail' pose.

I raise a brow, confused. "What are you doing?" This Amazon is really weird.

She smiles wickedly and said, "So, how did the flowers and gift go?"

I answer her nonchalantly, "As usual, she accepted it." I know where this talk will go..

Koizumi gives a snort. "But she never accepted your feelings, right?" She gives her signature grin whenever she teases me.
