"The girl in corner is kinda cute isn't she. Is that the one you were talking about? Eh, Kaneki." The sound of his name freed me from my trance of thought. I jolted my head up just in time to see him staring right at me. He immediately turned a deep shade of red and quickly averted his eyes. I followed by doing the same. "Your reaction says it all. That is her, eh? You both even act the same. It's so cute. She would probably go out with you if she liked you." I looked back to see just who was talking to Kaneki-san. "Shhhh, Hide," said Kaneki. I immediately remember who Kaneki-san was talking to. It was some guy in our class, Hide. I never really paid attention to Hide because he was so loud and annoying. So goddamn annoying. I don't even understand why someone who's so nice, calm, and sincere like Kaneki-san could stand being around him. "She's one of the girls that I like," whispered Kaneki.
By hearing that I was both happy and enraged. "One of the girls," I thought. Yeah, I was happy that he admitted that he like me, but I was angry that there was another. "Just who is this other girl?" I thought. Just as this occurred to my mind, a girl with blue hair walked by their table. "Ohhh...It she the other one?", Hide asked. "Wha?" Kaneki said with a startled expression on his face. "Wha...no...No she's not. She looks like she could secretly kill someone if she wanted to," Kaneki said. "The other one...is over there" he said, pointing his finger in the direction beside me with his face,red as a tomato, buried in his left hand. "Oh great," I thought, "her." It was no other than Kamishiro Rize. She is said to be the most beautiful girl around here. She had the interest of everyone around her. Men, women, children...and even Kaneki.
"Of all people, why Rize? Now I haven't got a chance anymore! She's like a goddess. Part of her name even means God. How is my fucking tree name suppose to beat that?" I panicked. "No way! Someone as beautiful as her would never go out with you Kaneki. Just give up and go out with the girl with the black, short hair. At least you have a better chance with her," Hide said. For once, the idiot said something that I completely agreed with. If Rize is out of the picture, I'll definitely have a chance with Kaneki. Kaneki fired back, his face red hot, "Don't jinx me! I really want to go out with her. She's so beautiful and wonderful and she even reads the same book as me. She's perfect" "I read the same book as you, you just don't pay attention," I thought. "But the black haired girl over there reads the same books as you too," Hide pointed. "Thank you so much, Hide", I thought.
"That's wonderful," Kaneki said, "But she does not seem to be interested in anyone…" When he said this he slowly lowered his head."That's not true! I am very interested in you Kaneki-san. Very, very interested. I love you so much. Please notice me, senpai. Notice my undying love for you." I say to myself, covering my face to hold back the tears that try to come. "Well... on the first week of school she seemed very interested in you. The entire time during class that one day she kept sneaking glances at you. The teacher even got on her for staring at you, remember? Plus, you kept looking at her too," Hide said matter o factly. "I only did that because I was thinking that she was cute. It's natural for someone to stare at someone who they believe is cute," Kaneki pointed out. "Plus, just because she looked at me that one time doesn't mean she is interested in me at all. She has already gone out with a ton of other guys, so what makes me different?"
"It's obvious that she loves you, man," Hide started. "I admit whenever a guy asked her out she would always say yes, but she was never happy about it. I believe that she would only go on dates with them was because she didn't want to hurt their feelings. I even asked her out one time just to see what she would say. She said yes of course, but I could tell that she was not happy about it. When I told her she didn't have to if she really didn't want to, she acted as if she was totally relieved. I think she just couldn't find the right guy for herself. Then she meet you. She started to pay attention to you more than anything. When you're sick from school, she seems as if she's worried and sad. When you come to school, she has a more happy air around her, you know? I really think you guys would make a great couple. You two would for sure make each other happy." "You're not as useless and annoying as I thought you were." Hide's speech was just too perfect. I just wanted to cry right here and now just listening to it.
"Maybe you're right," began Kaneki, who was now covering his mouth and chin with one hand. "I might have a better chance with her than the other girl. Plus, it would be nice to go on a date with such a cute girl. We could go book shopping and get some coffee. That would be nice," he said with a blissful smile on his face. " would be nice." "Well why don't you ask her out. She's just over there. Her name is Airi by the way. Become a man and ask her out, okay?" Hide asked. "I'll try" Kaneki said with a smile. "Well good luck" Hide said as he gathered his thing and got out of his chair. "I have to get to work. You know how it is." "Okay, bye" Kaneki said as Hide left.
After Hide left, Kaneki just sat his is chair for a while. He was just staring out into space. "What is he thinking about," I began to wonder. Kaneki senpai is always quiet so I can never really tell what is going on in his mind. Well, I can guess, but then my imagination starts to take over...He must be thinking about what Hide said about us.
