Hilda sighed as she stared at outside at the snow filled scenery. She still wasn't sure how she should go about telling her feelings to the guy she liked. It seems simple enough to her thinking about it. There was nothing to worry about. Though she still can't manage to just tell him, and she can't quite understand why. After Bianca confessed to Cheren, she did everything to help make confessing easier. She watched corny love movies that she had no interest in, in which she ether saw they made the guy do it and in an unrealistic way at that, or made it plan obvious that both liked each other, and Hilda was just unsure how he feels about her, so that didn't help. She talked to a picture of him to practice, and that made her feel more nervous about talking to him about it, as her conversation with the picture got awkward. And she tried even writing down how she feels, but could never really feel content with what she thought to put down. Hilda walked over to get dressed to meet up with her friends. There was no point in really worrying about it. He'll know when the time is right, she's sure.

Hilbert looked around. "This is odd. Hilda usually is on time. She usually isn't late…"
Cheren sighed as he turned a page of his book. "There's a first time for everything."
Bianca looked away from them with a worried look. She told me not to tell, but I want to. Hopefully it won't be as a bad confession as mine. But mine wasn't bad, since it worked out… I defiantly want it to work out! But…"
She was snapped out of her thoughts when Cheren wrapped his arms around her from behind. "Hey, what's wrong?" he whispered.
Bianca gasped and turned beat red. "Oh nothing! I'm fine!" She let out a nervous laugh. I can't tell him! What if Hilda doesn't want that? I mean, if she was fine with him knowing, he would've known. Besides, she only just told me… Bianca thought.
Cheren quickly spun her around and cupped her chin. "You should know by now that there's no use lying to me," he stated. Then he looked away. He doesn't understand why she is so difficult. Cheren thought Bianca would be more open and honest with him, but it doesn't look like the case. He wondered why.
The tone of voice that Cheren used, one would think Cheren was annoyed, but Bianca could see in his face that he looked hurt. When Cheren moved his hand, Bianca embraced him, with her head against his chest. She looked down with a sad face, still unsure of what to do.
Cheren wrapped one arm around her, and ran his other hand though her hair. "You know I'm here for you, Bianca…" Cheren whispered.
"I know."
"Hilda! There you are!" Hilbert shouted.
Both Cheren and Bianca let each other go to see Hilda.
Hilda looked away and shrugged. "Sorry I'm late. Kind of lost track of time," she said. Really, she was still mulling over what she should do.
"It's fine, we all do that once in a while," Cheren said.
"Maybe if you looked up from your books once in a while, maybe you wouldn't be so late," Hilbert teased Cheren.
Cheren crossed his arms. "I'm pretty sure I'm not late as much as you are."
"Really?"
Bianca walked over to Hilda. "Hey, I need to talk to you about something," she whispered.

The girls walked away from the guys.
"What's up?" Hilda asked.
"I… need to tell Cheren!"
Hilda gave her a confused look. "What… did you do?"
"I'm just so anxious about you telling him! And Cheren senses that!"
Hilda frowned. "Bianca, it would feel really weird if he knew."
"I know! I'm really sorry!"
Hilda sighed. "Just, try and wait till I tell him, okay?"
"Well… will that be soon?"
Hilda looked away with a worried look.
Bianca whined. "I don't know what to do…" Then she narrowed her eyes and frowned. "I just made him so sad."
Hilda looked at her in shock. Cheren is usually good at masking his emotions.
Bianca attempted a small smile. "I'll see what I can do."
"Okay… And I'll do the same."
"Okay, jokes over," Cheren said.
The guys realized that they left, and followed their footsteps.
"What are you girls up to?" Hilbert asked.
"Can't tell you," Hilda said.
"A girl thing? Doesn't seem you at all, Hilda," Cheren stated.
Hilda shrugged. "Well, let's get started." She picked up a snowball and threw it at Cheren.
But Cheren predicted it, and dodged it. "About time."
They all then started their snowball fight.

After hanging out all day, Hilda and Hilbert headed home. Cheren looked as Bianca slowly walked up to him. He promised to walk her home yesterday, so they slowly walked together.
"So…" Cheren started.
"I'm just nervous about something," Bianca stated.
"Concerning Hilda, right?"
Bianca jumped and gasped. "H-how…?"
He chuckled. "You're like an open book to me, Bianca."
Bianca blushed and crossed her arms with a pout.
Cheren held her shoulders and leaned into her ear to whisper, "but I still love you anyways."
Bianca smiled a bit.
Cheren is now staring directly into her eyes. "That's why, it doesn't matter that you're keeping Hilda's failing grade from me."
Bianca gave him a confused look, "huh?"
Cheren turned around and pondered. "Hilda… did something embarrassing? Hurt someone's feelings? Planning to skip a class?"
Bianca crossed her arms. "What are you talking about?"
Then she looked at Bianca, and it hit him. This all started not too long after we got together, so… "Hilda likes me?" Cheren shouted.
"What? Don't kid yourself! She always had feelings for someone else!" She angrily crossed her arms.
"…Oh. That's it."
Then Bianca realized what she's done. "Oh no! I wasn't…"
"So the guy she likes…"
"I think I can walk myself home!" she shouted. Then Bianca ran off.
"Wait! I'll stop! I won't talk about it anymore!" Cheren ran after her.

Hilda sighed as she looked down at the paper she was writing on. She still feels as though it doesn't seem right. "Well, if I don't think of something soon, Bianca might slip up before I could tell him," she thought. Hilda just wishes he would just tell her, as this was really complicated for her. "Maybe… he just doesn't feel the same, and that's why…"She whipped a tear away from her face. "It's fine though. I'm just so happy that we are friends… I guess." Hilda pulled out her phone and started to text Bianca, hey don't worry about me telling him anymore. I'm over him now.
Bianca replied, Oh. What made you change your mind?
I've done some thinking and just realized that I don't anymore, is all.
I see. So is it alright to talk about Cheren with?
No. I'll tell him, sometime.
Okay. Anyways, I know you'll find a great guy soon Hilda!
Thanks Bianca. I'm going to head to bed.
Alright, goodnight!
Night.
Hilda put her poketech on her bedside and looked out the window, and remembers all the happy times that she had with him. How she made her smile, and why he means so much to him. If one thing, she is defiantly happy she has him in her life. She wouldn't know if she'd be who she is today without him. As she laid down on her bed, tears fell from her face. It's why that he means so much, to her, that it hurts to think that he doesn't feel that way. Hilda whipped her tears away. Stop being such a baby! He doesn't like you, so what? I don't need him! She sighed as she looked at the wall. Why am I acting so tough? I didn't ever have any guts to even tell him. How pathetic. She closed her eyes, remembering seeing Cheren and Bianca embracing today, and then imaged the guy she likes and her embracing. A blush appeared across her face. I can't believe Cheren got someone before I did… But I am happy for them.

The next day came, and they decided to build an igloo.
Hilbert looked at Hilda with a concerned look. "Hey Hilda, you okay? You look down today."
She looked over to him with a small smile. "Just didn't sleep well last night is all," she said. She then looked at the snow with a frown.
Bianca went and sat next to Hilda. "…You really aren't over him, huh?" she whispered.
Hilda got up. "I… should go get some rest before I pass out."
"Sounds… wise," Cheren stated.
Bianca looked away with a frown.
Hilbert is still looking at her with a concerned look. "Alright. Hope you sleep well."
"Thanks… Sorry everyone." She then headed home by herself.
Hilbert went to walk with her.
"Wait!" Bianca shouted.
The guys stared at her.
"I… think she needs some time to herself."
Cheren looked at Hilda. "Seems like it."
Hilbert then looked up at Hilda. "Yeah…"
Hilda had stopped before her house. Why can't I get over the fact that I have to stop liking Hilbert… she wondered.
