Life is about the mystery of everything, and it’s for us humans to discover and define what relies behind the enigma.

There are certain things in this reality that none of us can’t fully understand. Like one example? Why do people need to fall in love? I wonder why? We humans can live without loving someone.

I mean, we were born in this world alone, else, if you have a twin came along with you. It’s one of the mysteries I want to understand. Everyone can define the word love itself, but there’s no really meaning behind it.

And I don’t even know the feeling behind that word.

Sometimes, I thought… what is the feeling of being in love? If someone is willing to teach me, I want to learn about it.

Since middle school, I always has been a popular student. It’s not that I’m boastful, but I am smart and pretty. Given with good looks and brains, I use it to my disposition as a student.

I always aim at the top. And took all the past experiences as a lesson to move forward. But there’s something I am curious about. It’s the boys confessing to me one after another.

They say I’m pretty, despite of me wearing thick framed glasses. And the question I always have in my mind is… “Is that the reason why you are confessing to me?”

Right, it’s because I have good looks that they start approaching me. I don’t understand, is that how the human beings should act? I want to know. I want to learn why people approached beautiful creatures.

Until the time I got in High school.

I thought I would still stand out due to my looks, but then… it happens that a prettier and cuter girl attend the same school as me, became more famous. She’s a pristine, and immaculate-like girl.

And that’s the time I felt the admiration from someone…. I admire the pretty girl named “Sakagami Kei.”

Don’t get me wrong; I don’t swing “that” way… I’m open in the idea of having same sex relationship, but not on my case getting on it.

I also don’t get why people need to be in love in the first place? Until I noticed something on one of my classmates. Yukiyama Kagome, a cool beauty that every girls and some boys admire.

She’s kind of giving a prince vibe, and no girls wouldn’t turn their heads when they see her. She’s not that friendly, but always greets the people who sees her. But what I noticed further, is the way she looks at one of my classmates ever since in middle school, Sakagami Kei.

The way she looks at Kei seemed kind of odd for a girl. It’s like, way past friendliness… it’s an admiration of someone. Deeper than what can anyone imagine.

That time, I thought… it is that way people show interest in others? It might be the case. Well, I want to know more about it. I don’t intend to make a fuzz about it; just want to learn how that is possible.

Unauthorized tale usage: if you spot this story on Amazon, report the violation.

And then, one day… I saw Kei walking together with a guy. And again, the same looks Kagome gave to her whe she gazes, Kei does as well when she looks at the guy. Wait… huh?

Apparently, there’s a love triangle merging now? Interesting. I want to know what kind of guy Kei chose. Poor Kagome, she does have the one-sided love for Kei. But I noticed the guy doesn’t show any interest at her.

He’s kind of dork, feigning ignorance of a beautiful girl’s advances. If only I’m a guy, I will take on Kei’s advances, but that’s another story to tell.

Since the guy Kei’s interested in is a kind of dork, I got an interest in him. I want to know what kind of guy Miyamoto Kira is. I want to see him getting flushed when Kei shows her affection.

She’s a girl who likes showing affection towards people she loves. And on that way, I want to see that guy gets bashful. So I hooked up a detour after school, and suggested to tag him along, with other people to make things livelier.

For the first time, I got to pick a person I have an interest with aside from Kei.

But like I expect, he is reluctant and awkward in nature. He’s kind of gullible. I find it funny to talk to him even if it’s just simple words we exchange together.

Kira Miyamoto, you make my interest escalate. I want to know you and Kei when you two are together. But how would I make it happen? I should let someone help me—

Another guy from the group catches my eyes. Like Miyamoto, he also has a plain looks, but tries to appear to be like a little above than plain. “Hi… I’m Nakazono Haruki.”

It’s the only exchange we had after seating beside me inside the Karaoke bar. Although, he’s kind of plain, but I find him cute. Yeah, Nakazono Haruki is cuter than Kira.

If only Kei knows him than the other one. But well, it’s Kei’s choice.

We wait for the time for the two to be together. I glance sideways how should Kira and Kei would be end up together. Until the two girls chirped about Kira not picking a song.

Good job, you two! Now he must need to make the move and offer Kei to sing with him. Since when I knew about Kei’s feelings for him, I want to understand about them.

The song Miyamoto picked—a duet song. And seems Kei know it. As the two of them stands at the stage together, I got awe from what Kei did to him. The time they start singing, their eyes locked and I somewhat feel the sensuality of her true emotions.

Reaching each word to Miyamoto in a way of melody, I totally hooked.

“They look good together, don’t they…?”

From behind me, Nakazono suddenly speaks, causing me to twitch. “Wha—what the?”

He smiles at me, saying sorry about getting through my personal space. That damn smile captured me. His dimples are so cute, I want to burrow my fingers on it. Wait, what am I thinking?!

“Kira, that guy’s still in denial; not trying to get captured by senior Sakagami’s charm.”

Huh. So that’s how it is… he just needs a little push further to fall for her. How interesting. Also, I understand the situation since Kagome is also in love with her. What will Kagome say when she see this?

Right that moment, I picked my phone and capture a stolen shot of the two. Things gets more interesting as mysteries gets thicker. Now, I only need this to show to Kagome.

After our fun time, we bid farewell to each other and go home.

“Uhm, senior Asahina. Do you have a minute?”

Before I arrive at the bus station, Nakazono runs to me. “Huh?” I asked.

His face flushed, his body is trembling. Oh, damn it. I feel there’s something in him that I don’t want to know.

It’s like any other boys. They’re just looking at me because I’m good looking. Because I’m pretty and smart—

“Uhm… Senior Asahina, I want to know you more.”

“Huh?”

Huh? What…? What. Did. He. Said? Taking a deep breath, Nakazono firmly stands and faces me. “I—I just… I just want to be friends with you. Let’s be friends?”

Oh, I thought he’s going to confess to me. What am I thinking? This is our first meeting, and he’s going to confess? I snort and giggle; then fixed myself and faces him.

“Yeah, sure. Let’s be friends, Nakazono.”

Like I was said, life is a mystery that us humans need to unveil. But it only does not give mystery; also surprises. And this time, the moment I meet this guy will turn my world around.

Nakazono Haruki, he will make my world a wonderful and a colorful one.
