DISCLAIMER: I own nothing. If I made Eyeshield 21 I'd definitely made HiruMamo a couple. So as SenaSuzu and RikuWaka. Oh, ShinWaka isn't bad either.

P.S. sorry for grammar mistakes or any other faults. Thank you. R&R please

Maybe, if I'm a different person, I won't feel this way. Maybe, if I'm in a different situation, I won't have to act this way. Maybe, if I'm in a different circumstance, this all will be easier for me.

[ONE-SHOT]

Dream.

I'm Wakana, and I'm the manager of the Oujou White Knights – American Football team of the Oujou High. And yes, today the Seibu Wild Gunmen is coming to our school for a friendly match. Unfortunately, I don't know how I'm supposed to feel about this. The reason? I guess I might just tell you.

Kaitani Riku, the running back of Seibu, is the guy that I, well, liked. And still like. It all started when I see his profile on the Amefuto magazine about 3 months ago. I just thought he's cool, until an incident happened that made me fell head over heels for him.

It was when I was about to get some water in the minimart for the team when he helped me, Riku, I mean. My groceries fell and he helped me to gather all of them again. It was very sweet. He didn't even know me – and I don't even know if he knows me by now. He took me to the bust stop and waved as I left.

His image is always on my mind. Playing again and again like a movie. His voice when he said "I'll help you." keeps on rewinding like a broken record. He's like a spell, enchant me like a wizard, he got me crazy.

"Wakana!" the voice of Sakuraba startled me and I practically jumped off of my chair. I was dozing off, apparently. "Can you tell my fans outside to back off? I need to get a fresh air." He begged. I nod and walked outside, going back to my usual routine, helping my team.

I feel really bad. Doesn't this mean that I'm betraying my team? Betraying my own friends? Or is it simply being true to my very own self? I can't decide which one is right and which one is wrong. I know love is blind, but I never knew that blindness drives us into devastation. I never know that love creates war between my brain and my heart, between feelings and logics.

So the friendly match is beginning. I'm looking at Riku from the distance. I like his hair, and his face. He's small, just like me, but he seems strong. I can feel my heart aching as I continue to think about him. Lord, I love him so much that it hurts. This feeling makes me want to cry.

I don't know what cupid has done to me. And I think my soul is leaving my body the second Riku looked at me and smiled. Oh dear, he recognizes me.

"Oh my god, so you're an Oujou student! Nice to see you again!" He said to me with a big grin. He doesn't even realize that my knees are shaking. He's right in front of me and I'm frozen like a statue. Very, very embarrassing.

I smiled, I managed to, and I said "Hi, I know you. Riku-san, right? I'm wakana, the manager of Oujou White Knights" as I offered my hand for a hand-shake.

He shook my hand with a great confidence of a great player and greet me "Nice to know your name, Wakana-chan".

I waved at him as he's leaving for the game. Little that he knows, for me, he knowing my name and recognizes me from a far is a treasure of a lifetime. I don't know what I will do next, but for now, keeping my feeling for myself seems good enough. And if it's possible, I'd confess to him in the future.

Fin.
