The next day
I go to school as usual with my best friend Isagi, we have known each other since we were little and have never let each other down.
Oi Haruki you get along pretty well with the new one, you knew each other before? It's not normal for someone to be so attached to someone they hardly know," says Isagi. He's right, why is he so attached to me?" I think as I stand still.
Oi, oi, oi Haruki, are you okay?" He asks me in surprise.
Ah... um... yo everything okay sorry was lost in thought, so to your question we haven't known each other that long I met him the day before he came to our class" I explained.
Hmm..." mumbled Isagi questioningly.
At school
Ding Dong (breaks start)
"Haruki-kun!" Shouts a girl I don't know.
"Can we meet after school?" she asks me as she forces herself on me.
Um...yeah...of course." I say in a nervous voice.
I couldn't concentrate during the rest of the class, I mean, of course I knew what the girl wanted, but despite that, it's hard for me to give others a pass.
After class in the schoolyard
Haruki-kun, I love you, please go out with me!" the girl says with all her strength.
No, I'm sorry, I don't love you, so I can't go out with you. I said with all my courage and my voice sounded almost sad.

She gets tears in her eyes and walks away, whereupon I get down on my knees.
Ah, it's always so hard to turn someone down." I think to myself while looking at the Sakura trees.
"Oi haruki, you've given someone a pass again." Isagi says with a smirk.
That's not funny, you know as well as I do how exhausting it is, you're quite popular too..." I answer him while I'm annoyed by his smirk.
Why don't you just go out with one?" he asks me.
To which I reply, "You know as well as I do that I only go out with someone I love, but unfortunately I've never been in love."
What about Katõ-kun, the new guy who seems to be interested in you? He asks me with a huge, almost disgusting grin.
Shut up, you know as well as I do that we hardly know each other, why should I go out with him or love him? I said annoyed.
Hmm, so you don't mind that he's a boy?" He said while his smile gets even bigger and more disgusting.
"b..bb..shut up y..you ...."
I say as I run away.
Why did I blush I could have just explained it to him normally ...." I mumbled to myself while still running.
Who would have thought that..." says Isagi before he also makes his way home.
