LEN:

"I managed to ask her about... going out," I told Lui.

"What did she say?" he curiously asked.

"She didn't say a word," I told him.

"What? Really?" Lui looked at me closely.

"Yeah, but I told her that we'll talk about it next time," I said.

"Good," he sighed in... relief, I think.

"And I told her I like her too," I blurted out.

"WHAT?" Lui said.

"Yeah, well—"

"Very, very good!" Lui began to shake me.

"Lui, it hurts, stop it," I said.

And he did.

After class, I found Rin waiting for me in front of my room. I wonder what she'll say... Did she wait for long? What?

"Hey, Len," Rin smiled at me.

"Hey," I smiled back.

"Len, wait up~!" Lui called.

"Oh," Lui started to look at me, then Rin.

"Oh, uhh. Hi, Rin-chan. I was just about to go home so yeah, BYE~" Lui immediately walked away.

"That was awkward," Rin said.

"Yeah," I let out.

"Uhh, I'm here to apologize for how I've acted a while ago. I didn't know how I'll react," Rin laughed nervously.

"Oh, that? It's okay. Believe me, I know how it feels... So... Uhh... Can we go out?" I asked.

"Yeah," she smiled at me.

Yes!

RIN:

Well, it's summer vacation and most of the time, I'm bored. I'm not actually the type of student who enjoys vacation a lot. I hate doing nothing all day long. Neru can't come over since she went overseas with her family. Most of the Music Club members are usually out –even Len.

Oh yeah, before vacation, Len and I went out. We didn't really stay in one place –I mean, we went to a mall and looked for CDs, then we ate some cake, after that, we went on an amusement park, after that, we went to some sea-shore and watched sunset. We did so many things in one day and it was exhausting –yet, fun and worth it. I wonder if Len and I would stay like this for long? How long will we be like this?

Not for long –that's what I feel.
