to those of you who are still asking, shizuru is just a normal student not the student council president
Characters are OOC, if you are put off by it go back, then again i'm starting to like flames cause it lessens my shiznat addiction so, no don't go back and flame me...

The first Date
"It's so unfair…" I muttered to myself again while walking towards the main gate of the school. Why does life have to be so ironic? I can't believe I let this chance slip away because of my stupidity.
"Hey, Shizuru, wait up!!" I stop dead hearing Natsuki's voice. I still have a chance!
I turned around and I saw Natsuki walking towards me.
"You're here!" I exclaimed. I knew I sounded so excited. I don't care about what she thinks of me know. All I know is that Natsuki is here now, we have a chance. We are meant to be!
"Of course, I promised to be here right?" she answered me." Let's go?"
I was too happy to even say a word so I just nodded. I know I looked so stupid. She put her arms around me and we walked together, oblivious of everything… I'm in heaven!

Natsuki took me to a coffee shop, 'Bean Here.' A coffee shop that looked like a library. I can't wait to tell Tomoe about this place. She's going to be so excited. We settled on the table near the window, Natsuki pulled the chair for me, so sweet! When we finally settled, she called the waiter and she ordered for us.
I can't say anything to her. I can't even look at her.
"Uhmm... You like the place?" she asked. I just nodded, then after a while she laughed.
I looked at her, why is she laughing?
"You don't talk much, do you?" I shook my head. She laughed again.
"Can Natsuki stop that?" I said shyly.
"Sorry…" I looked at the side pretending I was annoyed but the truth is felt giddy inside.
A wide smile formed on her face. "Where have you been the last few weeks? I've been looking around for you, you know."
"I became busy. I was helping my friend in her library job" I told her. I couldn't look at her. Actually I was thinking of running away. I am so nervous. My hands are trembling like crazy. But I have to give it to Natsuki, she's really exerting an effort to make this date work.
"She's not your girlfriend, is she?"
I looked at her, why is she asking me that question? Is there a possibility that she feels something for me?
"No…Tomoe is my friend. She's been with me since elementary."
"I see, so what do you do?"
"Nothing really." I just looked at her for a while.
The truth is, I had been crushing on Natsuki since the first year. I could still remember the first time I saw her. It was a rainy Tuesday, I was standing alone on the tree shed, when I saw her running, maybe looking for a place to stand by till the rain stopped pouring. I couldn't take my eyes off her. It felt like I am in a dream. Natsuki is the prince waiting and me, the princess and we would run away together and live our lives away form everybody.
"Shizuru?"
"Ara?" I looked around. I forgot that I'm in a coffee shop with her.
"Are you okay?" she asked.
"hai… sorry."
"hmmm.. let's see. Since I treated you, you should give me a kiss here…" she pointed to her right cheek. I was shocked.
Natsuki laughed. "Oh god, Shizuru, you're so adorable. You make me laugh."
You heard that Shizuru? You made her laugh. That's a good start. I stared at her, wanting to ask her if we have a chance, but then I controlled myself. I just stared at her, like staring at a cloud. So near and yet so far…
