"I'm just joking you Cliff. You know that you and Claire are both my bestfriends." I cheered him up.

Ann headed to the counter to work while Cliff and I continued to chat.

"You still like her, do you?" Cliff asked me.

"Since when did I like her?" I asked Cliff suddenly grossed out by what Cliff's saying.

"Dude, it is WAY too obvious. You always talk to me about her everytime." said Cliff.

"I al-" I said

"And everytime she visits her grandfather, if you could just see the look on your face." said Cliff cutting my sentence.

"Oh for goddess' sake Cliff. She's just my best friend. As if I'd have feelings for her. Well, I like her in a super bestfriend way. And there's no way she could probably like me too. We're like brothers and sisters." I told him saying my point.

After minutes of silence… I am almost finished with my meal. It was about 7: 30 when I looked at my wrist watch and found out that I had spend too much time on thinking about my argument with Cliff.

"Just go to Claire's farmhouse later at 8:00pm." I told Ann and Cliff.

I had to head to the Blacksmith or Saibara would kill me. I head on to the door and started brisk walking. I look high up in the sky and thought about Cliff and mine's conversation.

Why did I find every moment me and Claire got shipped annoying and bothering?

Why do I always feel real annoyed, though she doesn't look ugly? In fact, she's very beautiful.

…

And wonderful.

…

And caring.

...

And kind.

…

And funny.

…

And lovely.

…

And hardworking.

…

I suddenly bumped on to a rock and got tripped. I totally forgot to take a turn on the way to the poultry farm. I got too much lost on my thoughts.

I found myself on Claire's farm.

"Hey, what happened to you?" I heard a familiar voice chuckling and handing over a hand to me.

I took her hand and pushed her down.

I cuddled her up (which was the thing we always do since we were kids) on the fields.

"Aaaaah" she pretended to cry and giggled.

"So, what's up?" I asked her.

"Everything's fine. Oh, and thank you so much for everything yesterday. You know waiting for me at the dock and helping me bring my bag all the way here." She told me.

"You're welcome… So Claire, I guess I'll be heading now for work. Gramps will probably shout at me

again for coming late" I laughed.

"Wait, I'll go with you! I'll be buying some chicken feeds on the poultry."

"Let's go now, shall we?" I smirked at her and carried her on my back.

After 2 few minutes, we arrived at our destination.

Before heading towards the door of the blacksmith, I shouted at Claire "Meet me at the beach later at

7:30pm, ok?"

"Yeah, sure. What are you up to anyways?"

"Well, that's a secret."

We both headed for different directions.

A/N: So yeah, that's chapter 3 :D I'm so sorry it took so long to update.
