"what!!!! hell no !!! "
I screamed as Ritsuko sat there without even bothering.
"it's just a simple lunch "
Ritsuko mumbled still not looking at me . I was about to speak back when she grabbed my hand and started dragging me out.
"Ritsuko wait ... please leave me "
I was trying to escape but her grip was too strong ,stronger than me .
she didn't give me any reply till we were at the dining.
we stood in the queue and got our lunches.
"follow me , don't dare to run away"
she said while pushing her hair with one hand .
I swallowed the lump as I nodded hastily.
I was walking behind her like a lost puppy until she went and sat with Hiromi.
I immediately turned around to leave but her voice made me stop.
"kiyo? "
I turned and saw it wasn't Ritsuko who called me , it was Hiromi!
"ummm , can you join us ?"
she asked as my eyes grew wide and my lips curved up with happiness. I nodded nervously as I sat near Ritsuko opposite to Hiromi.
"oh my , you don't have to act all nervous , feel free with me just take me as your friend"
she said as she brought her hand closer and patted my head.
"so kiyo? why are you always silent? "
she asked with her cheeks puffed out as I sat I awe.
"umm...it's ...uh..I don't know"
I fiddled with my fingers as I maintain a smile on my face on order to not make her seem awkward.
"I've got some work "
Ritsuko told as she patted my back indicating me to behave good .
I pursed my lips to a thin line being nervous at the thought of being alone with Hiromi . not even seconds passed as the Fanboys began to crowd over Hiromi , just then I realised they stayed back just because Ritsuko was here.
I didn't want myself to die as I escaped from the group. giving one last glance of her I clicked a picture of her I smiled and jogged to my class.

I came home being all flustered by the plans . we were kind of friends now which was unbelievable . I went home as I hugged kiyoko and swayed from left to right .
"Kiyoshi had a good day hm?"
she asked giggling at my behavior.
I didn't give a reply as I let go of her and ran to my room leaving her shook.
I took out my diary and started writing ,
dear diary,
today I was really happy and now Hiromi is my friend , tho it is too much to ask I want her more than just friends . I feel like I'm beginning to start a new life which colourful rather than blue and grey . I didn't know what this might lead to but I'm sure I'm in love with this girl Hiromi so badly ....
I closed it as I let myself fall on the soft mattress immediately melting as I wrapped myself up trying to take a nap.
