"…"

"Um, Yolie? You still there? I need help!" I frantically shouted into the phone.

"…"

"YOLIE!" I shouted into the phone.

Suddenly, the doorbell rang. I sighed and hung up the phone before walking to the door. I swung it open to find Yolie standing there, out of breath, phone clutched tightly in her hand, face red, and panting heavily. She invited herself in and headed straight towards the kitchen, grabbing a glass from the cabinet. She put her phone down and shuffled around in the fridge before pulling out a pitcher of water. She quickly poured the water in the glass, going too quickly and spilling most of it on the floor. She greedily gulped the water down and continued pouring in more. Finally, she sighed in content and placed the now-empty-pitcher back into the fridge, slamming the glass down on the counter. She took a deep breath before she opened her mouth.

"So you have a date, huh?" She said nonchalantly, leaning her elbow against the counter.

I stared at her, mouth agape. That was all she had to say?

"WITH TAKUYA KANBARA!"

Okay, so I was wrong. She had a whole lot to say.

"How did this even happen? You know he has a reputation! Don't you remember what happened to Kari! I thought you said you were done with love? And seriously, of all people, why HIM!" She demanded.

"I don't know Yolie. When I was sitting alone on the bench with no ride, he offered me a drive. So I accepted it. And then we started talking, he got me fast food, and then when I got out of the car, he asked me out! I was gonna say no but I just, I… I don't even know why I said yes!" I exclaimed, frustrated at myself.

Yolie sighed but suddenly perked up.

"The date is tomorrow right? So you can still cancel! Just tell him something came up and that you have to 'reschedule'." Yolie suggested.

"That's perfect!" I smiled in relief.

"You're welcome." Yolie smiled.

She looked up at the clock and suddenly gasped.

"Crap. I forgot that I had to pick up some groceries for dinner tonight." Yolie said angrily.

Her phone began ringing and vibrating on the counter. Yolie sighed as she walked over and picked up the phone.

"Hello… Yeah, I'm at Zoe's… Uh, no but-… I was gonna-… Okay… Yeah, in fifteen minutes…" Yolie's voice trailed off as she walked towards the door.

She opened the door and smiled at me, waving, before closing the door shut behind her. I sighed as I walked up to my room to do my homework. I still had to think of a reason why I couldn't go on the date since he was bound to ask why I couldn't go. Possible scenarios ran through my mind as I flopped onto my bed flipped the TV on.

I was confused about Takuya. I knew that if I broke the date I would be so guilty and I would feel very bad. But that wasn't because I liked him. Besides, I knew that Takuya could get another date anyway. After all, he was Takuya Kanbara. And he could, and probably would, break my heart. How was I going to deal with yet another heartbreak after still not getting over the current and past ones…?

….

"The douche strikes again." Kari spat.

"Relax Kar, she's gonna blow him off anyway." Yolie said calmly.

"Well, technically not blow off. I'm just gonna tell him that I can't go." I corrected.

"I say you blow him off instead." Kari said seriously.

She hated Takuya. Who wouldn't after what he had done to her? I sighed and shook my head.

"I know you still hate him Kar but that's just not me. I know how that feels and I would hate for anyone else to have to experience it, even if it is Takuya." I said.

She snorted in disgust and turned away, arms crossed over her chest.

"Why did you say yes in the first place?" She asked.

"I-I don't know." I replied.

"See, this is the thing about you. You're just too nice and can never say no! That's why all of those guys broke your heart!" Kari suddenly exploded at me.

Everything was silent for a while. Dead silent. Kari was glaring at the floor, Yolie was looking back-and-forth between us and I was staring in shock at Kari. She never yells at anyone, especially not me, her best friend.

"You know Kar? You're right." I said softly.

With that being said, I ran out of the bathroom, trying my best not to cry…

….

At lunch, Kari sat at one end of the table while I sat at the other. She hadn't said a word to me since this morning.

"Hey, it's okay Zoe. Kari always gets like this when it has anything to do with Takuya. She'll get over it soon." Yolie tried to reassure me.

"Yeah." I nodded half-heartedly.

Yolie looked at me warily but I just shook her off. I didn't need to be pitied. I got up and threw away the rest of my food. I decided to spend the rest of the period at the library to just get away from everyone. As I was walking down the hallway, I bumped into someone.

"Oh, I'm so sorry!" I exclaimed frantically.

"It's ok."

Looking up, I realized I had bumped into Takuya. This was my chance!

"Oh, Takuya, I have to talk to you about something." I said.

"Ok. I can't wait for our date tonight! I promise I'll make sure it'll be fun!" Takuya exclaimed.

Well that crushed me. He was so excited and I just couldn't break him.

"So, what did you wanna talk to me about?" Takuya asked, interrupting me from my thoughts.

"N-Nothing. I'll see ya later." I replied, walking past him and into the library.

….

"Zoe! You had the perfect chance and you didn't say anything!" Yolie angrily scolded me.

"I'm sorry! I couldn't do it. I remember feeling the same way." I said softly.

"Of course you couldn't do it. When have you ever been able to say no Zoe?" Kari spat angrily.

She walked out the front door, slamming it shut behind her. I was taken aback by how she was acting.

Kari was a sweet, kind-hearted girl who had always been there for me. She was always the first one that I called when something bad happened. She always knew what to say, what to do. It was because of her that I continued moving forward.

"It's ok Z. Just forget about her for a while, especially since Takuya's coming soon." Yolie said.

She was right. It was seven-thirty. He would be here in half-an-hour. I was already dressed casually in a crop-top and black skinny jeans with converse sneakers. We were going to dinner and a movie. A classic first date.

Nodding slowly, Yolie went over the basics.

"Ok, this isn't a real date! You're not in love with him and if he says it won't work out for you, you won't be hurt. Because it isn't real and you aren't in love. Got it?" Yolie said.

I nodded. It wasn't a real date. I wasn't in love with Takuya Kanbara. He wouldn't break my heart if I wasn't in love with him.

The doorbell rang, interrupting me from my thoughts. I quickly went to the door, answering it. Takuya stood there in a simple t-shirt and jeans. His was just as messy as ever and his hazel eyes gleamed in excitement.

"You ready to go?" Takuya asked.

"Yeah. Just gotta grab my phone." I replied.

I ran back into the kitchen where Yolie was already rummaging through the refrigerator.

"See ya later Yolie. Try not to eat everything while I'm gone." I said.

She didn't answer, instead waving me off as I grabbed my phone and walked out the door with Takuya. I was ready.

….

The movie was pretty good but it was after dinner when it happened.

Takuya held my hand, pulling me with him towards his car. He allowed me to get in first before he got in. Once he closed his door, he turned to face me.

"I had fun." He said, smiling.

"Yeah, me too." I replied.

And then he did it. He leaned in and suddenly pressed his lips onto mine. Is it bad that I liked it? I quickly pulled away and he looked over at me.

"Is that what you always do? Kiss and leave?" I spat.

"What are you talking about?" He asked, taken aback by my tone of voice.

"You know what I'm talking about! You never last more than one date with a girl. And I'm obviously no different." I said.

"But you are!" He argued.

"Just stop Takuya! I know what you do! You broke my best friend's heart and what would make me think that I'm any different?" I exclaimed.

"I never kiss on a date." Takuya said.

"Sure you don't. Just leave me alone Takuya! I hope you're happy. You've broken yet another girl's heart."

With that, I hopped out of the car and began running. Running away was what I did best.

Suddenly, I felt a hand grab mine. Turning around, I saw Takuya behind me. Tears streamed down my cheeks and his eyes widened. He had finally realized what he had done. And when his grip loosened just a little bit, I tugged and ran faster.

About fifteen minutes later, I burst through the front door of my house. Yolie and Kari ran in from the kitchen. They were supposed to be sleeping over and I was surprised that Kari had come back.

As they lead me upstairs to my room, I realized something.

Out of all the guys that had broken my heart, Takuya was the only one who had chased after me.
