It was already the end of the day. I met Shimotsuki-kun at his shoe locker. And then we walked to my house again. It felt like a dream doing all of this.

My parents welcomed him again and we went up to my room.

"So what do you want to say to the girl when you first meet her?"

"I dunno...'Hi'?" He said.

"No no no no no no!"

"Why not?"

"Because, her heart will race when you say something so short. Make it with less pressure. Like... 'How are you?' or 'What's up?'"

"Really?"

"Yea, of course!"

"So, no pressure?"

"Nope, not at all."

"Okay then, got it."

"So let's practice."

"What?"

"We have to practice of course!"

He looked at me.

I looked back at him.

"Okay, fine." He said.

"Okay, I'll start."

" Go ahead."

"Hey Shimotsuki-kun."

"Hey, how are you doing lately?"

"I'm doing well. How about you?"

"I'm doing very well too."

"That's great!" I smiled.

"Yes it is."

"Well, I have something I really wanted to tell you."

"What is it?"

My heart is racing.

"I kind of liked you for a while."

"Oh really?"

"Yes, so..."

"Yes?"

I can't say it. Too much pressure. But I must!

"Will you please go out with me?"

"..."

I looked up. He was staring at me. My face was purely red.

"Sure, why not?" He smiled.

"And scene." He said.

I went back to normal.

"That was great!" He told me.

"Yea, great."

"You're a good actor."

My heart is beating fast.

"Yea, just acting."

"Man, now all you need to do is just tell me who this girl is and your work won't go to waste."

I started to cry.

"Ando-san...what's wrong? Why are you crying?" He started to panic.

I stood up and yelled.

"You idiot! It's me who likes you! You're so oblivious!"

I ran out the room and went downstairs to put my slippers on and left the house.
