Author's Notes: The farking Maring storm is killing my patience. I need to get to work but the damn rain is keeping me from going outside. So I wrote this story/drabble while the rain is pouring hard. I reminisced a lot of goofy and stupid things I did way back in high school and college. Hihihi. Enjoy. (Some of the things written here are based from a true story, lol; these are half true and half false. I know this is embarrassing.)

I know all of us (be honest!) had this moment where we're all drop dead crazy with a certain crush during high school and college. We did the most embarrassing thing and the most impossible thing just for our crushies. Here is a stalking guide I/we(or if you can relate) had during those days to get to know more about Mr. Crush.

The story/drabble is about you [reader] trying to know more about your crush[Target: Makoto Tachibana] but since you're the shyest person in your school; you missed some opportunities with your crush… but not all of them!

Chapter 1: Sources

Sources - the most important thing we need to know more about our crush. You need a lot of them for important information.

"Befriend someone who is close with your crush, either if it's a boy or a girl, you need them."

You came early to school today so you can either do your homework because you forgot about it last night OR you don't want to miss the opportunity not seeing your crush.

Your ultimate crush is Makoto Tachibana from the next class. He's handsome, nice, tall, and has the sweetest smile and personality. You had a love at first sight at him when you watched him during his swimming competition; you just can't stop staring at those yummy biceps and abs. Your love for him was multiplied to 1 million times when he helped you get a book in the library. Ever since then, you've fallen in love with him and you can't help it.

You got to the point where you want to know more about him. Since you two are not classmates and he doesn't always update his facebook/twitter account, you need someone who is close to him and can ask questions with.[PS: You're not even friends on facebook/twitter. His account is on public that's why you can see it. Hehe.]

You thought of the swimming manager, Gou. I mean Kou, who is a close classmate of yours. Kou knows that you're fallen over heels with Makoto. She said that she can give you facts about Makoto but she can't help you on how to get his heart. It's up to you on how you seduce him… err I mean be friends/close with him.

Since you're shy and all, Kou decided to introduce you to Makoto and to the other members of the swimming club just for formalities. Also you can get to talk to him personally. But because you are super duper shy when it comes to your crush, you can't handle your feels and nervousness; you decided not to meet them anymore. Kou was determined to introduce you to Makoto so she said a lot of encouraging things to you. She said that "This is the only opportunity you can get while the other fangirls/competitors are not there. This moment should not be missed and it's just introduction and formalities, it's not like you're going to confess. This is the moment I can only help you." Kou's words are magical and that made you agree to her.

Today is the judgment day where Kou will introduce you to the members of the swimming club. Hopefully you prayed multiple times to God that you won't do anything stupid and embarrassing while you're being introduced.

The plan is that you will visit Kou at the swimming club and you'll act like Kou forgot something in class. That's where Kou will introduce you to the guys. [Actually you've been visiting the club multiple times to give Kou some handouts and to peek at Makoto, hehe.]

Kou and the gang are about to leave the club room and that's your cue. You ran towards Kou and started your acting.

"Kou-chan, I forgot to return your English notebook." You said, good thing you didn't crack your voice.

"Oh! Thank you [reader's name]-chan! I also forgot to get it from you. Thanks." Kou said.

"Uhm, no problem! Well, I'll go now. See you tomorrow." You said. You're about to leave but Kou stopped you.

"Uhm wait! Let me introduce you to the members of the swimming club." Kou said. "This is Haruka-kun, Nagisa-kun, Rei-kun and Makoto-kun." Kou added, she smiled awkwardly while introducing them.

"Oh. Nice to meet you, I'm [reader's first and last name]. Kou's classmate." You said and bowed. You hoped that you said it smoothly and no hint of nervousness.

"Oh nice to meet you too!" The blonde shota, I mean the blonde guy said. "I always see you with Gou!" the blonde added.

"It's Kou not Gou!" Kou corrected him.

"Nice to meet you too, [reader's name]-chan. I always see you visit Kou-chan in the club." Makoto said.

Damn, you got nervous by his statement. "Does it mean he knows that I secretly looked at him while visiting Kou?!" You asked yourself.

"Ah! I always forgot something in class so [reader's name]-chan always give it to me." Kou-chan said. Wew, saved!

"Oh I see. Such a nice girl!" Makoto said.

You smiled and laugh awkwardly "Hehe, not really. I'm just helping her." You said. You can't think of anything to reply to him. So as much as possible you don't want to talk longer so there will be fewer mistakes. You're still not ready to have long conversations with him! Lol.

"Nice to meet you too, [reader's last name]-san. We're in a little hurry, so we're going first." Haruka-kun said. He always seemed to be in a rush.

"Nice to meet you too, [reader's last name]-san." Rei-kun said.

You bowed to them, Nagisa and Makoto bid farewell to you. Kou-chan grins at you, telling you "Nice!" with an okay hand sign.

You widely smiled at Kou, telling her "Thanks!"

That day was the best day for you. You can't get over the fact that you had a little conversation with Makoto. Is that even a conversation?! Well anyway, you got to talk to him and now he knows your name. You also found out that he notices you when you visit Kou. You get the feeling of embarrassment and happy at the same time.

That night, you can't sleep because of the feels.

End of chapter 1

I just want to write something. lol.
