It was the 13th of March.

Exactly one day before one month after Valentines day.

Kanbara Takuya was biting his nails (practically) in his room as he wondered furiously what to get Orimoto Izumi tomorrow.


It was the 13th of March.

Exactly one day before one month after Valentines day.

Orimoto Izumi was lying on her bed, staring at the ceiling but actually more than half asleep.

For the end of the school year, as a celebration, the senior yeargroup of their junior high school went to camp.

Even though, her mind wasn't on the bruises, cuts, scratches, mosquito bites and blisters she got, it was on how she gave the wrong box of chocolate to Kanbara Takuya almost a month ago.

That box of chocolate was originally meant for another male classmate that she like-liked, but when she was about to give that boy the chocolate she found it was not the chocolate she prepared for him, it was the chocolate meant for Kanbara Takuya.

She had been worrying that Takuya got the wrong idea.

Luckily he didn't looked like he really cared.

Well, he doesn't care.

(Flashback starts)

Izumi was tagging along the group, but she accidently heard a secret conversation.

A friend of Takuya was talking to him.

"So you think, she likes me." Takuya said.

His friend nodded.

Izumi held her breath. "This is bad..." She muttered.

His friend said something else.

"I don't know, I don't really care." Takuya replied.

Izumi sighed in relief.

But there was it again, on the bus going back home.

Izumi sat at the back, the exact seat she sat when she came.

Takuya and a couple of his friends were behind her, having a chat before the bus goes. Izumi heard her name and asked what about her but they just said nothing.

Now they were playing 'Truth or Dare' with the girl sitting next to Izumi, who was one of the funniest, smartest people and a very nice friend to her.

This version of 'Truth or Dare' played on the bus normally makes you kiss, hug, or ask out someone either the same or different gender.

Normally different.

So...as the game went on Takuya was made to ask out Izumi.

"Izumi you want to go out-" He stopped.

"No." Izumi replied firmly.

"-Side?" He finished. "You wanna go outside?"

"No."

The game kept on going...

Soon Takuya was made to ask out a girl he actually liked, and then the game got to this warning point.

"I don't like you anymore, I've stopped liking you, I love you now." He actually said.

Izumi fought the urge to snort.

When they got back to school, Izumi heard another one of Takuya's conversations with someone else. They were asking if he said yes and he said he did. Izumi, of course, had no idea what about, but she could imagine very perfectly.

(Flashback ends)

Of course, Takuya could be talking about someone else when he said he didn't care and...(by this time Izumi was asleep.)


The next day, Izumi mysteriously found a button in her locker after school.

Coincidentally, the second button from Takuya's shirt was missing.

The end.

On White Day, a month after Valentines day is the day when the male gives the female that gave him chocolate on Valentines day gifts. The second button on the school uniform shirt (that might not be common anymore) in Japan is that when a boy graduates (either from junior high or senior high), he is either asked or decides who to give his second button to. In romantic terms, its given to the person the boy loves since it's the button closest to his heart. It can also be given to underclassmen if he's asked.

It's a bit short, I was rushing.
