Sakuno stared at the deep blue sky as her bestfriend once again rambled. Once in a while though she did nod to look as if she was listening.

Bored she started twirling her wasit long deep auburn hair. She took a huge slurp of the strawberry slushie and put it to her side.

Summer was here, yet she did not feel happy more like unsatisfied. The academic year did not feel finished. Unlike most people when Sakuno promises herself something she will try to do it so this year her new year aims had been to confess to a boy. An extremely arrogant boy who is so dense he, he, he, oh who was she kidding. Suddenly she felt angry with herself.

No wait she wasn't kidding anyone. Furrowing her eyebrows she thought furiously.

What is it about him to like. He was mean yet could be so thoughtful

Her eyes softened then hardened

arrogant, selfish, has a huge ego I mean who does he think he is. So what if he was drop dead gorgeous, smart, cool, fantastic at sport, a genius, graceful, so strong and sexy.

Sakuno stopped twirling her hair, since when did she start using words like that. Shaking her head, she pulled hard on one braid loosening it and her wavy hair unfurled from its plait. Sucking her breath in she carried on complaining.

She gulped down nearly most of her slush and held onto the styrofoam cup as she thought wistfully.

It wasn't fair. There shouldn't be a person like that on earth. He was perfect, like a god. Why do i have to like him of all people. Why couldn't i have been like Reiya so beautiful or Chimiko so thoughtful and clever or even Tomoka so confident. The fact is Ryoma doesn't even notice me. Great start to my goal. If he would just look my way, he is so oblivious to me. It was so frustrating

"Sakuno its time to take extreme actions,"screamed Tomoka suddenly surprising Sakuno and jolting her out of her thoughts.

"Oops,"said Sakuno as she dropped the can

"Why are you so clumsy"

"Sorry"

"Why are you saying sorry to me, " Tomoka sighed, "thats it im tired of how shy you are, if you want Ryoma to like you, you need to be more confident"

"II ddddont want hhim tto lllike mmme, i just want him to,"replied Sakuno getting softer as she tried to argue back.

Looking down at her now melted icecream she asked " Okay, what should i do"

"See thats what i mean, stop being a pushover"

"Okay"

"Your doing it again"

"mou"

"Don't complain and follow everything i say exactly"

"Nnno"

"Why not?"

"Bbecause you told me not to be a pppushover"

Tomoka sighed ," Listening to your bestfriends advice is not being a pushover, silly" said Tomoka gently as if she was scolding a little child.

"Sorry"

"Tch see apologising now is being a pushover but now OMG"

Startled by the sudden outburst Sakuno asked "What"

"Ryoma"

"Where?"

"Near the vending machine, okay heres the plan"

Sakuno nodded eagerly firstly you............
