You've just been dumped.
"An-chan, can I talk to you for a moment?"
An used to think that she came out on top in every single relationship. That she was always the heartbreaker, never the broken hearted. But as she's given this thought quite some contemplation, she's come to realize that she had actually been dumped quite a few times. She just didn't know it.
"What is it?" An asked, already seeing in Momoshiro's anxious features that something was horribly wrong.
At first Momoshiro thought over his words for a moment. Then after a few seconds of awkward silence, he came to a point where he figured the best method of confession was just to blurt it out.
"I cheated on you."
See, breaking up with someone is an art form that men in particular know very well. They just do all the right things and say all the right words that make it sound like ending the relationship was your idea.
"What?" was An's only response, the word almost emitted involuntarily.
"I lied," Momoshiro repeated. "I'm a terrible person, and you could do so much better than me."
What makes it worse is that people will actually buy these lies. Blame it on pride. Blame it on ignorance. But whatever you blame it on, the truth is that women will jump on any opportunity to believe that they haven't just been rejected. This idea doesn't even occur to them until a few days later, as they're watching endless re-runs on late night TV, when they realize that they're the ones who are miserable and lonely and are gaining a couple of pounds. That's just how it goes. So for future reference, if a guy ever says in a conversation…
"I don't deserve someone like you."
…grab a tub of ice cream and the remote control because you have just been dumped.
Sorry this is a little short, but at least I got another chapter in. For the next two weeks, I have exams for school so updates will probably be a little slower then. But don't worry, once school is over, I'll hopefully get back to updating faster than ever. Review please!
Oh, by the way, here are some couples to expect: KamioAn, RyogaNanako, and a little bit of TezukaFuji later on in the story. Thanks again for some of these suggestions. As for the other ones, no hard feelings. It's not that I didn't like them. I just wasn't able to find a good way to work them into the story. But who knows? Maybe I'll let the other ones have cameo appearances or something like that.
