"It's Friday and no school tomorrow and.....and ...uhm....Can you have dinner with me tonight? -Pan...

Third POV
Team and Prem arrived at the Music and Arts parking lot ten minutes after five, to meet with Pan for the agreed dinner date. But the girl was no where in sight.
Where could she be? Prem thought to himself.
"Maybe she changed her mind" Team chuckled noticing the worried look on his cousin's face.
A few minutes after, came the girl, speed walking towards the parking lot.
"I'm so sorry to have made you wait...did you wait for a long time" asked the worried girl.
"It's ok, we just arrived." Team assured Pan.
"Are you both ready?.....I will drive you to the restaurant and pick you up later." Prem declared and bowed to the two like a carriage driver of one fairy tale story with a teasing grin.
The two just chuckled on the exagetated antics of their friend/cousin.
Prem opened the door to the back of the car and beckoned the two to get in. He went to the driver seat and grinned and winked to the passengers, and drove off.
Unbeknown to them, the scene caught the attention of a tall blonde guy when he was about to hop on his motorcycle. He halted midway and with mouth agaped, his attention was caught by the ash blonde boy.
Oh God......he's back.
He felt a slight pinch in his heart and a lodged in his throat.
~~~~~~~~~~~
Both enjoyed dinner, talk was interesting and light as if they've known each other for a long time. The date was a success, it was supposed to be.
That first date was followed by another and another. They had lunch together almost everyday, talked on the phone almost every night. A cliche', but a it was good.
"Be my boyfriend...." Pan can no longer contain her thoughts and feelings, she halted abruptly on their walk in the park and face the boy that she had liked for a long time.. She looked up into his eyes hopefull that he would say yes.

Team's POV
"Be my Boyfriend.?..."
I got taken aback by her question...I looked into those sparkling eyes waiting, anticipating for my answer. I was silent for a while, still she waited.
I've been asking myself "The question "for quite sometime now. Do I like her?, and if there was a chance of a romantic connection between us. Yes she was fun to be with, she's caring, undetstanding, intelligent and pretty. She's almost a girlfriend to me except that my feelings for her had not crossed outside of the friendzone yet. What should I answer....she's still looking at me with those, big bright anime eyes. Shall I say yes? And see if my feelings will develop into something she wanted?.....but....will it develop?
"Pan" I started, she was holding both of my hand in hers, and she perked up a little to give me her full attention.
"I know we've been going on dates for a while now, and I enjoyed every minute of it, I like how you treat me, I like the way you make feel, I like what we have for now...our friendship, means more to me than anything else." I can see her shift of emotion from hopeful to sad, almost defeated and it breaks my heart.
"Friendship....yeah that's what we have...no chance for me then , " she smiled but her eyes says otherwise.
She pulled my arm and hooked hers in mine and we started walking back to her car. She rested her head on my shoulder as we walked and I carressed her cheek, I felt it was wet. I whispered
"I'm sorry... "
"Mmmmm." she just hummed her answer.
~~~~~~~~~~
After that night, things had not changed a bit, we still did all our routine as if it was already programmed. We still go on dates, dinner, lunch together, talk on the phone for hours. Nothing changed except that she was no longer hopefull anymore and she had little by little been showing the other side of her, her bully side, which I think my cousin Prem had a taste of years ago. But mind you she's a sweet bully.
My life was happy with her, I feel content. No complications, no difficulties. We continued being friends but in the eyes of a spectator, we still look a lot like lovers. We can even see posts (from Mew of course)about us, shots that would make you think that we are real couple. We didn't mind it...we just laugh about it in our nightly talks....
One night she said....
"Let them think, what they want...as long as we know who we are to each other"
And another...
"At least it will prevent a bee to buzz around... " she cut her self off.
"Aww, never mind..." she laughed and bid me goodnight.

Third POV
On the other side of the city along the rows of dorms of T University, a blonde guy scrolled through his social media account.
He was enjoying some crazy poses, candid pictures that his friends had tagged him, he liked and commented on the photos. His eyes got a little tired and decided to call it a night. He was about to close his phone and settle on his bed to sleep, when a notification alert pinged.
Captioned: Sweetest couple ever!
It shows an ash blonde boy being hugged and kissed on his cheek by a cute girl, while the boy sported a V sign with his fingers, with the most beatiful smile he had ever seen.
He used to smile to me like that....
Now, someone else has what used to be for me...
Another pinch in his heart and the pain that he welcomed and lived with..he was used to it...since ...
