Chapter 3: A Girl in love with a Cassanova
Gumiya's POV
"Hey. I was serious about you being my girlfriend, Gumi."
She stared at me in shock. After some seco-
"EEEEEEEEEEHH?!"
My poor ears! Seriously, this girl is so loud! I haven't even finished telling you what happens.
"Quiet down, baka!", I tell her, covering her mouth with my hand. When she stopped, I removed my hand.
"Let me ask you this, mister. Why on earth did I become your girlfriend?", she asks.
"Because I have to get rid of a stalker obsessed with me. It's annoying."
"Stalker?"
I grabbed my phone from my pocket and showed my messages from the stalker.
"Eeeh?! Neru Akita?!", she exclaims. Tsk. This girl is so noisy.
"Ssh! If you don't keep it down, I'll kiss you.", I threatened. She suddenly turned into a human tomato.
"J-jerk! Stop joking l-like tha-"
And she didn't finish her sentence. I gave her a small peck on her lips.
"I told you I was serious."
She just stood there, stunned.
"First..", she mumbles.
Oh. I get it. The ever precious first kiss.
"The feeling is mutual."
Yes. Heard me right. She's my first kiss too. Though, I know this isn't the first time I kissed her. I know it was sometime last year. She doesn't remember, though.
She blushed more at what I said.
"Ne Gumiya-kun, why me?", she asks while looking away.
"I like you."
Hey, if you think I'm joking, you're wrong. I'm serious! I could be a jerk but I know the right women to like. And she's one of a kind. She could even make me talk even if I hate talking. And she never viewed me differently just because I was Len's friend.
I wanted to make up for what happened last year, too. Because I know that Len was going to confess to Rin. But what puzzled me is that Gumi was the one who went to the rooftop, not Rin. And it was all too late to tell her that it wasn't meant for her.
"Stop joking like that. I'm going inside. Mata ne.", she said and bid farewell before going inside their house. (Mata ne = See you)
If only she had more self-confidence..
Teto's POV
I'm currently at home. Finally, rest! It's tough being the student council president.
I check my phone messages and see Gumi's message.
From: Gumi M.
To: Teto K.
Tetooooooooo! Gumiya-kun is such a jeeeeerk! I'll narrate the story tomorrow! T_T
Gumiya Meguro? The quiet jerk of B4? Since when did they ever make contact? That's new..
I scroll for more messages and looks at Rin's message.
From: Rin K.
To: Teto K.
Teto-chan. Len's a liar. He just won't stop showing that he likes me. But I know that he doesn't. He's a player! I hate him. And I hate these butterflies in my stomach.
Oh, these two were in detention a while ago. Seriously, I really think Rin has the wrong idea about Len. Len had always liked, or rather, loved Rin. I know that. Rin's one of my best friends after all. But ever since the incident last year I know Rin had found it hard to trust him, specially when she already loved him so much.
And that Hatsune girl is the root of all of these. I knew it because of Dell.
"Teto! Phone call!", my brother Ted called out.
I went to the living room and answered the phone.
"Hello?"
"Teto-chan! This is Haku. Do you know where Dell is? It's late already, that guy.."
Haku Yowane is Dell's half sister. And she's always calling me when looking for Dell. Me and Dell are childhood friends.
"Ah, Haku-nee. I think he went with Kaito-kun to eat out and meet girls. You know that cassanova. He went as soon as student council meeting was over."
Dell is the student council's secretary. Despite that guy being a cassanova, he's got a very legible penmanship. His penmanship is even better that mine!
"Oh, I'm sorry for always troubling you because of Dell."
"It's okay, I'm used to it.", I reply.
We talk for a bit and then we both hung up.
I went back to my room afterwards. I changed into home clothes and lied on my bed. I read all the other messages left in my phone besides Rin and Gumi's message.
My two girls have their boys. Me? Even if I'm quiet about it, I do have someone I love.
And I loved him for years. But I just can't reach him. We're so close, yet so far.
I suddenly received a new message in my phone.
From: Dell H.
To: Teto K.
Teto-chin! You free right now? Can we meet? I'm at the park with the swings. Text me if you'll come or not. I'll wait.
Oh, speak of the devil. Yeah, I'm a girl in love with a cassanova. I wonder what he has to talk about today?
During times like this when Dell calls me out to the park, he'd always share information or stories to me. I've become his living diary.
I wore my jacket because it was cold, and it is already evening.
"Nii-chan! I'm out for a bit!", I call out to Ted.
"Come back before dinner or even just before mom and dad go home okay?", he responds from the kitchen.
I go out of the house and went on my way to the park.
At the park..
I saw Dell waiting for me in one of the benches. He had a small plastic bag beside his feet and held a can of hot chocolate. He must've gone to the convenience store before going here.
"Teto-chin!", he greeted as he saw me. He moved a little and tapped the free space on the bench, ushering me to sit.
"Sudden SMS again, Dell. What's going on right now?", I said and sat beside him on the bench.
"Teto-chin. I was out with Kaito a while ago right? He told me something."
"Shion-san? What did he tell you?"
"He likes Miku-chan."
Oh. So that was painful. Both for us. Painful for him because he liked Miku for long time already. Painful for me because I saw in his eyes how he liked Miku so much.
He liked Miku so much, he didn't mind what Miku did to Rin and Len's love story.
"Teto-chin, I just realized something, though.", he spoke again.
"What is it?" - Teto
"I'm gonna move on from Miku already. I mean, there are a lot of other girls that love me. Besides, I just realized how much of a bitch Miku was." - Dell
"Whoa! That was so much to come from someone who liked her so much! How come you realized this now?" - Teto
"Kaito told me his piece of the story from last year's incident." - Dell
"No way! He knew something?!" - Teto
"Aparrently he did. He said that Len was actually forced by Miku to kiss her. And she did it exactly when Rin passed by the place where they were talking." - Dell
I gasped. "That woman! Ugh! How dare she?!"
"And because Len saw the anger in Rin's eyes, he pushed Miku. Len told Miku how he despises anything or anyone that would make Rin cry. Len left the place and went home, unable to think straight." - Dell
"Another mystery is solved, I guess. Now all we have to figure out is why Gumi got involved. It was caused by Miku, but what was the plan?" - Teto
"I think the silent guy needs to use his vocal chords." - Dell
Silent guy? "Gumiya?"
"Yeah. I know he has his piece of the story." - Dell
"I can't wait until I could tell all these to Rin.. I can't take seeing her hurt and hate Len just because of that." - Teto
"At least I realized how much of a stupid guy I am, liking a bitch like that." - Dell
"Oh well, realizations happen. Sigh. I hope I can find the one for me already." - Teto
"We'll never know when we meet them. Sometimes it's funny, because time comes and you'll realize the one for you is just right beside you." - Dell
I blushed. If only you knew how much I wish that that could happen, I thought.
"That could be nice.", I smiled.
He stood up. "Teto-chin, thank you. Thank you for not leaving me."
I blushed a little and stood up as well. "Well I AM your bestfriend, right?"
"Yeah. So, I'll take you home?", he asked as he stretched out his hand to me.
I took his hand and nodded. "Hai." (Hai = Yes)
We walked back to my house, hand in hand while we chat.
