Chapter 5: Explanation
Recess time... again...
Kikuchi didn't get enough sleep last night, thinking about that 'important something' Kanzaki wanted to tell him; 'Today, I'll ask her... Today, I'll make sure I...'
"Hi Kikuchi!"
"Oh, hey Kanzaki!"
"Problems? Let me help you." She pulled out a chair and sit next to Kikuchi
"Not really... umm, about last night," he started
"Oh... I'll tell you something important, but after that you have to tell me the reason why you kept my picture okay?"
"Sure"
She smiled at him as she continued speaking "It's off."
"Off?" he whispered
"Years ago, I asked you to stay by myside, to act as if you like me, to pretend that you're my boyfriend and I, your girlfriend...and now I..."
"You found your true love then?"
"I guess. Before, I wanted you to fake it, be my boyfriend, a perfect alibi for me not to date anyone, to keep those annoying boys away. But that was way before we entered high school. You promised that you will keep your words and do what I say, but in exchange I have to tell you everything about me, and that you will be the first one to know if I happen to fall in love with someone, period."
"I'm afraid you forgot some details," Kikuchi looked at her seriously "the important part."
"We agreed that we would stop all of this if I found the person I truly love." She smiled again and said "Now it's your turn to explain."
"Explain?"
"About the picture..."
"Why I kept it?"
"Yeah"
"The reason is simple, because the girl in that picture..."
"Who happens to be me..."
"Yes... well... umm look..." Nervously he turned to her "I accepted that deal in the first place because I wanted to be close to you..."
"You're... saying... that you, and I and the deal and..." She's so surprised that she can't even form a sentence anymore
"I like you, you see... and..."
"Why didn't you tell me before then?"
"I was scared."
"You, scared?" she joked to lighten up the mood
"Sure, I don't want you to feel awkward."
"Thanks for thinking about me, but I also wanted you to know... that you're the reason why I made that deal with you..."
"You mean to say..."
"Yep." Standing up, Kanzaki looked at him before leaving the room.
