Time just...froze? Seconds felt like hours looking at Kageyama, as I processed his confession. I can't believe that I'm..not dreaming? I don't know what this even is anymore, because for all I know it could be fake.

But, what if I wanted to accept it. I mean, do I really love him? I couldn't even keep eye contact, because he was either looking at the ground or looking behind me...

"Ayoooo, (Y/N)? Uh, I can wait a sec." Sara shouted once more. It was so silent that I felt frozen, and Sara was the one breaking that silence. 

All of a sudden, my heart started pumping. I don't know what to say....but I'm put on the spot here! I...

"........................" I couldn't say anything, I just stared.

I think I know what I want to say....

"Ugh, why do you have to do this to meee-" I said, starting to fluster up.

".........................." Kageyama stood tall, with a shocked face, just looking at me. 

"Well, I uh....like you back. So, guess we're dating now, hm." I said, shrugging off all my nervousness. 

"I, uhhh-" 

"Well, I gotta go now, cya!" I held up a peace sign as I said that, turned around, and ran over to Sara. I didn't look behind, but Kageyama just stood there, still in somewhat shock.

"What were you guys talking about?" Sara asked as we walked side-by-side under our umbrellas.

"Oh, uhh, school stuff. That's all." I said to Sara, trying to use the calmest tone possible.

"Mhm!" She replied, not questioning a thing.  I bet ten bucks she heard all of it, but of course she likes to play around with this stuff. Whatever.

As we walked and talked, I couldn't take my mind off him. So, that means I'm in a relationship now, huh? And it feels weird, because, well...I really do like him back. 

Later, At Home

"Hey Mom, I'm home!" I shouted as I opened the front door.

"Ohh, alright. wash your hands and then come to the table for dinner, sweety," she replied.

Now, this is when I should tell her. I doubt she'll make a big fuss about it, but might as well.

".....Hm, about that. Could we talk, like, right now?" I said, drying off my hands.

My mom rushed over to me, a bit concerned. "Oh, sure. Is everything okay?"

"Oh, yeah I'm fine!" I said, trying to laugh off my nervousness. "I just need to tell you something, uhh.."

I could see her glare intensify. Oh god, this is harder than I imagined. 

"Mhm, spit it out...." 

"Well, Mom, I'm at a proper age, and I'm mature, so you can't try and change anything!" I said, trying to find a way to transition to my statement.

"Mkay, now tell me...."  she slowed down her words, getting even more mad at me. What the hell, I haven't even said anything yet!

"Okay, so, I have a boyfriend. There you go." I said, gripping my arm. I couldn't hold eye contact at that point, it was way too awkward.

"Huh??" My brother walked in, holding a half-eaten roll from dinner. 

"Hey, what the hell? When'd you come home?!" I said, backing up a step. My face was angry, but most off all I was trying to hide awkwardness behind my anger. 

"Ehhh, I sorta knew," My mom added, not caring about the fact that this was the weirdest thing.

"What the hell?! One at a time, jeez!" I yelled at both of them.

"Is it that raven-haired boy that stopped by our house? Awww-"

"Oh come on, Mom." I cut her off in an annoyed tone.

"Hm, so my lil' sibling already got serious, huh?" My brother said, in a dickish way. I swear, if he says one more thing about me being his 'little sibling'-

"Be quiet, Meiko." She said, turning to him, about to laugh. She turned back to me, "Well then, I'm pretty sure we met in during your middle school, but, would it be too inconvenient if we met him?" she asked. I mean, I don't think it would end up well. At the same time, I don't blame my mom for wanting to do so, and as long as my brother doesn't ruin it, I guess it's fine.

"On one condition...Meiko has to be quiet the whole time!" I said confidently with my arms crossed. After I said that, I turned my head to him, indicating that I was serious. 

"Aw, why? That's no fair!" He grunted. 

"Fine, (Y/N). Guess you being 'mature' hasn't changed your petty attitude, hm?" She said, twisting her eyebrows.

"Whatever," I replied. "Can I have dinner, now?" I asked, switching topics. It was probably better to leave all the discussion for the meeting.

After dinner, I ran up to my room, and shut the door. I didn't plan on telling anyone, but of all people, she had to know. 

I unlocked my phone and went straight to messages. My hands were shaking, as I thought of a way to tell her. I clicked on her contact and started writing.

'Hey, can we talk for a sec? lol' I wrote. No, that's dumb. I deleted every word. 

'R u free rn?' I typed. yeah, that seems better. Send!

'Yeah what's up?' Yuna texted back. Phew, good thing she was on her phone.

'um' I texted....Wait, should I really say this over text? It's urgent..but, maybe not the best to to express my emotions. 

'nvm, just meet me tmw!' I typed quickly, without thinking. 

'mk' she texted back.

..........So, what now? I mean, I've had so much on my head since then, so how do I think of it myself? Hm, maybe having a talk with myself would be pretty good. I wouldn't say I got myself into something bad, but it's kinda hard to process in my head. I mean, it all went to quick, and the fact that a week and a half ago I was denying it.

I collapsed on my bed, looking up to the ceiling with my hands underneath my head. I let out a long sigh, both of relief and of being tired.

Hm, I guess this is love then. Maybe not, but I'm willing to make that gamble.
