Bonus Chapter
What's Up Diary
Mina
Something strange has been going on with me for a while.
It hasn't been anything bad, that I can tell, but I've been having these weird feelings lately. Like my stomach is upset, but not in a sick or painful way. And I find myself blushing and happy at things, sometimes at things that are just totally small and ridiculous.
And sometimes I have thoughts. Only for a second, but they're always super embarrassing. Stuff like hugging, holding hands, kissing, and other things, if you get what I'm saying, Dairy. It happens in dreams as well, and even worse is that sometimes I wish I didn't wake up from those dreams.
It's all Midori's fault.
I don't know how, but all of this is his fault. He's always the cause of it. He's the one that's in the thoughts and dreams, and it's always what he says that causes me to blush. I know he doesn't intend to, but why is it that when he says my name I get that feeling in my stomach? How come whenever he hugs me, I always find myself wishing for more than that? And why is he the only one that I'm having these feelings for?
Maybe it's love?
But we've only known each other for four months, surely it couldn't be that.
… Okay, so I'm having trouble convincing myself that. But isn't love strong word to describe that? If anything, this is just a crush. Crushes happen all the time, especially when you're going through puberty. So really, it's nothing to worry about.
… Still, I don't like feeling like this. I mean, I love the feelings, but not the insecurities. I like to think that I'm pretty straightforward with how I feel. But when I think about telling Midori how I feel, I get all nervous.
What if he doesn't feel the same way. Or worse, what if he feels the same way about someone else? I mean, it's unlikely, especially considering that Midori doesn't really interact with any of the other students in the class, outside of giving them his notes when they need them.
But Midori still draws a lot of attention, even if he doesn't think he does. He's certainly attractive, in a really cute way, and he's crazy nice to everyone. He has a certain feel to him, something that lets you know that you should pay attention. It's what drew Eijiro and I to talk to him back then, and others can feel it to. What if one of them were to get similar feelings for Midori?
… I'm totally overthinking this, aren't I?
I mean, I just barely turned fifteen, I don't need to be thinking so hard on a crush. I should be more like Midori and focus hard on my studies and training. I'm never going to become a pro hero if all I do is sit around daydreaming about Midori.
We'll talk about this later, Diary, but right now I need to do something to distract me from Midori. Goodnight.
Just something I did for fun in between posting chapters. Not particularly relevant to the story, and you can decide whether or not it should be canon for this story. Hope you enjoyed.
