Here is a small gift for the ones that follow my stories and well Merry Christmas.

I was under the shade of a tree; the summer breeze blew around cause the hem of my skirt to lift a bit. This tree is well-known at Subo High School, a place to confess. Am I getting someone's confession? No, it was different.

In front of me stood a beautiful girl. From a distance, an onlooker would call us twins. But this our first meeting. We might look similar aside from the differences (AN: I kind of base it off of Horikita Suzune from Classroom of the elite). First, our hairstyle, we both have straight black hair while I had tied my hair with red ribbons on each side. She has Gradient eyes while I had blue eyes. We both have slender bodies but she had a bigger cup size. Her name is Okita Miho.

"What do you want?" I asked.

"There is a boy that I'm interested in, and it seems you are an acquaintance of him," Said Okita-san.

"If you are talking about Hayama-san…"

"No, I don't care about someone as flashy as him." She interrupted me.

Most girls in our school consider him the number one boy to date. I only know two individuals that ever deem Hayama-san normal.

"I saw you with him during the prom event you held." She continues.

Wait! My acquaintance and prom. She can't be serious?

"He was good looking. Messy hair that makes him a bad boy. Tall."

"You can't be for real?" I asked.

"Come on, Yukinoshita. You know the saying tall, dark, and handsome. He fits well with those categories." Replied Okita-san.

"You must be insane," I said.

"I don't see why not. He has two of the three going on." She said.

"I'm not fond of this kind of topic," I stated.

"Fine, I want you to introduce me to him." She asked.

I rather not. Just that I feel like she'll dig up information on him. And in the end, she will meet him. What do I want? I can introduce her to him, today, tomorrow, or the weekend. I know he rather not meet up but I can give him the time to set up an escape plan.

"Fine, I'll introduce you. I'll give you all the detail tomorrow."

"Thank you." Replied Okita-san.

She bows then returned to class first. I followed behind. Of all the people, why him? We didn't keep our relationship a secret. I guess people still don't believe that we are an item. We have been together since the beginning of the spring semester.

I reached the classroom and sat at my desk. Our class was easy. By the time I reach the staff room, to get the key for the clubroom. I was thinking about how am I going to tell Hikigaya-kun? I don't want him to get a big ego. The fact that he is dense. Helps, I mean he, knew about Yuigahama-san and my feelings for him but he didn't notice the others. I was happy about that. But it backfires on me and bites me from behind.

I unlocked the club room and walked to the tea set. I went to add water to the kettle. I sat down at my place and pulled out a book from my schoolbag. Hikigaya-kun enters the room and, I got up. I prepared our tea. Hikigaya-kun sat down. He pulled out his book. I sat down too at my spot. As much as I want to keep the silent atmosphere and observe Hikigaya-kun.

"Hikigaya-kun?"

"Hmm"

I took a deep breath, "Hikigaya-kun, d-do you have any plans for the weekend?" I asked.

"What?" He replied.

"I said do you have…"

"No, I heard what you said. So we're going for another date?" Interrupted Hikigaya-kun.

"I-"

"Yahello! Yukinon and Hikki." Interrupted Yuigahama-san.

I got up and serve them tea. After I serve Hikigaya-kun, I sat down. I return to reading my book. I can't concentrate. Why now? Another girl.

There was a knock on the door. I was going to answer it. But then the door opens up. Hiratsuka-sensei's replacement enters the room. A petite woman with a well proportional body and silver hair that falls above her shoulder. Behind her were a student I recognize well since I met her earlier today.

Kibe Hakua-sensei is a new teacher just out of training. She is hired to replace Hiratsuka-sensei after she left for a position in Tokyo. Hiratsuka-sensei is now a counselor for youth in a hospital. It seems she still contact Hikigaya-kun frequently. Why is my boyfriend talking to her of all people is a mystery. I have seen those essays about ramen she sends him. It was not like I needed to know if he was unfaithful. I was curious.

"I have a job for you guys," Asked Kibe-sensei.

Kibe-sensei took a seat next to me. Okita-san took a seat next to Hikigaya-kun to my displeasure. Why are you blushing? He doesn't even know you.

Okita's POV

I finally found him, my childhood friend, and my biggest rival. I remember Hikigaya-kun as a lonely boy. Everyone in the classroom ignored him or bullied him by calling him froggy or germ. I was part of them too but, I became a victim of the bullying too.

It started in the 2nd year of Elementary school. I hit a growth spurt, and I started to read more books for this reason my knowledge and grades picked up. I became an outcast. The other kids hid my favorite book that was a gift from my dad. I was trying to keep from crying while looking for it in the classroom. I heard footsteps. I was afraid, it was the other kids. I hid. I took a peek and saw it was Hikigaya-kun, he had a book in his hand. He walked to my desk and placed it inside. He left the classroom afterward. I left my hiding place and took out the book he left. It was my book. Since then, I took an interest in him. I found out he was smarter than me. His grades in humanity were higher. His choice of books differs by day. One day it could be a western class like Edgar Allen Poe's work than the other a classic like "I am a Cat".

I felt like I needed to surpass him so I can stand next to him. My battle with him was unfair. Elementary school exams were a catch-up game for me.

We enter middle school. I was in a different classroom than Hikigaya-kun. I still took glances at him during breaks, to remind me of my rivalry. For three years, my grades got better. I reach the first place, just that the reality was different. He was smart in class but I learn he had a social life too. He helped with the student council and helping the perm-brunette student. Even when everyone ignores him and bully him, he still has social skills. Again, I played the catch-up game. At the end of my middle school life, I wanted to talk to him about high school. I wanted to know which high school he was going to attend. But my parents got in the way. They inform me that with my grades, I could attend Sobu High. The guilt of hearing my parent praise me. Pushed me to select Sobu high as my choice. I cried that night. I lost my only friend and rival.

I entered high school, and I was out-match too. My rank was just average. A beautiful girl name Yukinoshita was rank one in our year.

First-year of high school went by a flash. I gain a friend. I heard rumors about a Hikitani-kun in my second-year. Hikitani-kun was a hot topic at our school. After-all he was the most hated being in the school, a total scumbag. During this time, I saw a ghost of my past around the school. This ghost is called Hikigaya-kun. I always thought I saw him around but every time I took a better look at that being. He disappears from my sight. At the end of the second year, my friend shows me a picture of the school prom event. I didn't care since it was not my thing. The prom event occurred, and it was successful. Again, I was informed by my friend that they are holding another prom but it was a joint event with another high school. My friend was asked to help with the second prom and she wanted me to help her. I was going to reject her but she shoves her phone in my face. The video that was playing was an advertisement for prom and students were dancing with each other. It was a lone pair that caught my eye. A girl with a bun and a guy with formal wear, dancing together. It was him, Hikigaya. I decided to help my friend to get info on Hikigaya.

It was him. He was standing next to a beautiful girl, I recognize as Yukinoshita. I tried to talk to him, but he was always busy carrying supplies. Just like that, I never got the chance to talk to him that night.

I'm not going to give up. Hikigaya, I'll make you acknowledge me. My heart is racing for you to know me.

I just want to write about rivals. That's all.
