The teacher was in front doing her regular discussion. Some were listening and some were minding their own business.

Konata was merely observing everyone inside the room. She paused her gaze at Murasakibara, who's secretly taking out a piece of pretzel stick from his bag. She sneered while looking at Murasaki's action.

This guy really can't resist his sweets. She thought while unawarely shaking her head.

Murasakibara, on the other hand, noticed her staring at him so he turned his head towards her, with the pretzel sticking out of his mouth. Konata smiled at him but Murasaki just turned his head to face the board again.

Again, Konata roamed her sight elsewhere until eventually it stopped to one particular guy. Unconsciously, her face turned red and she could feel like her stomach was empty.

She exhaled deeply when she felt that her heart was beating faster than ever. She had never felt like this among any guys before.

But to him it was different.

He was the most perfect looking guy she had ever set her eyes upon.

At most times he's stupid but it's what made her fall for him deeply.

His name was Kise Ryota.

Though they go to the same class together, she never gotten the chance to talk to him for long. There were several instances but due to her sudden anxiety, she becomes speechless or sometimes becomes clumsy. In other words, she's scared. Scared of what she'll say and do.

Plus the fact that Kise's been popular around girls since their first day at Teiko. So many girls have gone gaga for the latter. And one of them was her.

Evidently, Kise's obviously asleep. And as soon as the teacher noticed, she threw the board eraser towards him and hit his head. The boys laugh. Some of the girls squealed.

Konata just blushed when he saw her crush' reaction after being scolded by their teacher.

After class, she packed her things up and head outside the room. Unexpectedly, she bumped unto someone.

"Watch where you're going you dumb a-"-she paused for a moment. It was Kise whom she bumped into..

And their it goes again.. Her heart playing loud pounding music.

"A.. I-i'm s-sorry!"-she said and bowed 90 degress several times.

Kise scratched the back of his head. "It's alright"

Konata could not think of any more words to say. She was blushing so hard.

Then a voice from behind spoke. It had a lazy i-don't-give-a-shit-about-the-world-tone.

She turned around and looked up. For a middle schooler, Murasakibara's pretty tall, she thought.

"Hey, Konachin.. Can you move aside?"-he said in the laziest tone ever.

Konata did so and moved to the side. Murasakibara nodded at her with a thank-you expression. Both Kise and Murasakibara exited. She followed.

To her surprise, she saw Mido'kun outside. He was holding a panda figurine. And he's face was serious as always.

"Ooooh.. Midorimacci.. You off to the gym now?"-Kise greeted enthusiastically.

Midorima just nodded.

"Mido'kun"-Konata uttered in a very low tone.

"What's with that whispery voice?"-Midorima asked with an arrogant tone.

Konata just shook her head. She's pretty much aware that Kise was still with them. Murasakibara too.

"We're having a practice today so I want you to watch!"-Midorima told her.

By that she immediately glanced at Kise who was currently busy with his cellphone.

She's already aware that Kise had already joined the Basketball team club. And two of her bestfriends, Midorima and Kuroko are also a part of it.

"Let's go!"-Mido'kun commanded. He grabbed her wrist and dragged her to the gym. Kise and Murasakibara followed behind them.

They arrived safely at the gym.

She sat at the bench and watched them have their basketball practice. She tried on focusing on Midorima and Kuroko's play but her eyes always ends up on Kise. She clutched the bottled drink she was holding.

Kise, who was already bathing himself in sweat, just looks so perfect.

He's even more handsome that way, she thought.

After practice, she walked home with Midorima and Kuroko. There was silence within the three.

"Suoh'chan"-Kuroko finally uttered breaking the silence.

"Hnn?"-

"Is something bothering you? You look frustrated"-

This is what makes Kuroko amazing for her. Despite his emotionless feature, he can easily read people's minds. Especially hers.

"What are you talking about Kuroko? She had always looked like that."-Midorima mockingly said.

"And what does that mean?!"-Konata respond in annoyance.

"Is something bothering Suoh'chan?"-Kuroko asked again.

Should I tell them? Should I not?,, two phrases that's been echoing through her mind ever since they left the gym to head home.

"If she doesn't want to tell don't force her to Kuroko"-

And then she finally made her decision.

"Uhn.."-she sighed as she stopped walking.

The other two also stopped and turned to her.

"Confession time!"-she closed her eyes and clutched her fist as she continued. "I"M INLOVE WITH KISE'KUN!"-she merely yelled.

But Midorima continued walking like he hadn't heard anything.

"Wait? That's it? No respond?!"-Konata was furious.

"There's no surprise to that. All girls say that in regards to him"-Midorima said.

Kuroko nodded in agreement. "You should stop Suoh'chan.. There's too many competition."

So much for being called bestfriends. Konata whispered to herself.

She knows that a lot of girls had said that. But she also knows that what she feels is different from those other girls. She's well aware and confident enough to say that her love for the guy is pure.

"Mido'kun!"-she called out. "Can I borrow your cellphone?"-she continued.

"Why?"-Midorima asked in respond.

"I want to ask for his number."

"Whose number?"-

"KISE'KUN!"-she shouted impatiently.

"And why would I give you?"-Mido asked arrogantly.

"'Coz you're Shintaro Midorima, my ever so amazing and intelligent bestfriend who I love ^_ _^"-she said cutely, hoping it could persuade him.

But it was a fail.

"Oh c'mon Mido'kun!"-she pleaded.

But Midorima wouldn't give in.

"Here"-Konata almost jumped off her feet when she saw a sudden hand reached out to her. Then she realized it was just Kuroko. He was holding her cellphone.

"How'd you get that?"-Konata asked curiously.

"While you were busy with Midorima'san, I grabbed your bag and got your cellphone."

"Oh.."-Konata.

"I put Kise'kun's number in there already"-

"Wait a minute? You don't have a cellphone right?!"-Konata asked again, confused.

Kuroko shook his head. "I got one yesterday. My grandmother gave me one"

"Wha-? Why didn't you say so?"-Konata surprisingly asked.

"You didn't ask"-and he continued walking.

"..."-both Midorima and Konata were speechless.

Anyways, Konata was super duper overjoyed. She finally had his number.

As soon as she got home, she plopped herself on the bed and stared at her phone. The screen was showing Kise's phone number. She stared at it for the longest while.

"..."

"W-what should say to him? What should I text him?!"-she talked to herself. Feeling frustrated again.

"Waaaah!"-she ruffled her own hair. "What should I do?! Should I text him?! What if he won't reply?! OooooooH"

Then there was a knock on her door.

"Konkon chan? Have you gone crazy? Why are you talking to yourself?"-her Mom called out from the outside.

Konata rolled her eyes and sighed.

"Well anyways.. Dinner is ready.."-her mother continued.

After dinner, she went back on her problem earlier.. what would she text Kise..

It has to be something interesting.. Hmmm

"Hello Kise'kun.. It's me.. Konacci ^_ _^ Good eve? Are you doing okay?"-the first thing she typed. But she was unsatisfied so she deleted it.

It has to be something that would seem mysterious.

"Hi! Guess who?"-it sounded creepy for her so she deleted it again.

"Oooooooooh!"-she clutched her head with her pillow and crouched on the bed.

She tried the usual inhale-exhale routine four times. It worked somehow.

Okay.. It has to be simple.

"Hi!"-and then she pressed send.

Now her problem was solved. But what if he replies?! What would she say next?!

And not long enough, there indeed was a reply.

Fr: Kise kun 3

"Hello.. Who's this?"

Her heart thrumped fast again. She started jumping up and down over her bed. And squealing like a little girl who had just recieved tons of lollipop from a fairy god mother.

"Oheemjee! He texted back! What would I say next?!"

And not long enough there was an incoming call..

And yes.. The call was from Kise.

She froze for a bit. Her hands went trembling.

Kise'kun is calling her! It took several seconds for it to sink in her mind. She answered it excitingly.

"H-hello?"-she was trying to hide her excitement.

[Hello? May I know who you are?]

Kise's voice was like heaven in her ears.

"H-hi.. I-is this K-kise'kun?"-she asked shyly.

[Yhep. And you are?]

"I-i'm.."-she paused to breathe, "K-konata desu"

There was silence.

Konata was expecting for him to hang up the call.. But he didn't.

[Oh! Konacci! Hi.. How are you? How'd you get my number?]

Konata could no longer resist the urge to smile wide. She wanted to squeal but she doesn't want her crush to hear it so she kept her poise.

"I-i'm okay ^_ _^ And you?"

[Yeah I'm fine. Hey listen.. I'm kind of busy right now so I have to end this call.. But hey.. D'you want to have tea tomorrow?]

Konata could not believe what she was hearing.

Kise Ryota is asking her out for some tea tomorrow! This was one chance she wouldn't dare to miss.

"Sure! I mean since i'm not busy or anything"-she bit her lips so she could not express her feels.

[Great. K~ Bye~]

And just that the call ended.

Konata jumped on her bed once more.

Now's the perfect time to express all her feels.

She was screaming and shouting and squealing over and over again until she dropped her back on the bed.

She grabbed for her plushie and squeezed it with a hug. She remained staring at the ceiling, imagining Kise's face.

Today was one of the happiest days in her life.

And that was the start of her lovestory.
