Chapter 7: Acquainted
It was the next day at the training camp and everyone was forced to face the day at 7. Mimi, however, seemed to have woken up the earliest. The hard wooden boards, in their makeshift tents, under her sleeping bag was far from the comfy, soft bed she slept in at home. She tossed and turned, and as each second ticked away, she got more and more frustrated, and that also meant she wasn't in a good mood.

"Hi there, Mimi. Erm... So did you sleep well last night?" asked Kiyoshi. Mimi gave him a death glare. "NO! Are you trying to be sarcastic?" she replied. "Mimi, I-" "If you'd excuse me, I've just lost my appetite."
* * *
"Okay everyone! For this morning, we shall start our 3-hour hike up there. Everyone is to help each other along the way, is that clear? Fine. Let's begin," one of the counselors announced and soon everyone was off.
The trek had its 'amusing' parts. At times, the trail turns into a narrow bending. Large ants were seen crawling through the dried leaves. Little streams in which you have to jump over and hope that you don't attract leeches. There were also many fallen big trees with their huge trunk cutting in the middle of the trail, which served some difficulty to climb over.
"Here, let me help you." Kiyoshi said as he offered a hand to Mimi, who was having some problems with the trunk. "I don't need your help," she replied coldly, shoving aside his hand.
"Hey Mimi! Wait up!" Kiyoshi shouted as Mimi sped up her pace.
"Why should I?" Mimi said challengingly.
"Mimi-" he said as he caught up with her and pulled on her upper arm to make her stop. "Why? Why do you hate me so much? I wanna know that."
"Why I hate you so much? I thought you knew the answer, Mr. Cross-country Champion!" Mimi answered.
"So this is about the competition..."
"Precisely! Did it take you so long to figure it out? I just can't-"
Mimi hadn't really finished when Kiyoshi said,
"Look, Mimi. I'm sorry okay? If I'd known you'd hate me because of that, then I'd rather not win. I want you to know me just as how I would want to know you. Why can't you just accept me?"
Kiyoshi finished and ran off, leaving Mimi to gape at what he had just said.

At night...
-Mimi's POV-
I kept thinking of what Kiyoshi had said. Did he really mean it? Was it true that he's willing to give the title up... for me? I truly don't know. I don't know what to think, and I don't know what to say to him. Had I been too harsh towards him? Thinking back of how I constantly push away his offers rudely and how his expression simply fell... I feel- guilty. If he were now feeling miserable to the point of death, it would all be my fault. Where's my sportsmanship? No, I must make it up to him...
* * *
-Normal POV-
"Hi there..." Mimi greeted as she sat next to Kiyoshi who was currently staring at the starry sky.
"Mimi? W-Why are you-" he tried to say, but Mimi immediately silenced him.
"I'm sorry. I'm sorry for how I've treated you, and all you meant was good deed. I'm sorry for not showing good sportsmanship and for- I dunno, the bad things I've caused, I think." Mimi said.
"Serious?" he questioned as his face lit up.
"Yeah. Can I... Can I make it up to you?" Mimi asked.
Kiyoshi thought for a while. Then said, "Well, there is something I'd want you to be?" Mimi furrowed her eyebrows. "What is it?" she asked with a little skepticism in her voice.
"Could you be my girlfriend?"
