It was during the first year of junior high school at Kyurin High School where it all started and where I got my first confession. It was breaktime; I was just eating my food and studying lessons.
As I was studying, I realized that there was a group of girls watching me from afar. One of them came to me and it was the most popular girl in school.
The girl had blondish colored hair, a double ponytail and sapphire eyes that would make you feel at ease whenever she looks at you. She was so beautiful, as if she was the Goddess of Beauty.
That girl asked me to meet her at the back of the school. I nodded and I felt a bit happy about it. I was going to receive a confession from the most beautiful girl. I was thinking about it so much that I wasn't even able to focus on my classes.
Classes had finally ended, I was so excited and went to the place where we decided to meet. I immediately went there and approached her.
"------, I am finally here. So what is it that you wanted to tell me" said Shin.
"So Shin... I wanted to tell you that. I have always..."
Everything went pitched black suddenly and her expression suddenly changed to a sadistic smile. She laughed at me and then she suddenly appeared everywhere. I was surrounded by her shadows and her continuous laugh was driving me crazy.
As I continuously heard her laugh, the soil below me pulled me down. I tried to reach out my hand but she didn't help me at all. I was drowning, I couldn't breathe anymore.
"HAHAHAHA, you're way too easy to get tricked. A confession and you'll be like a dog who follows what its owner says! HAHAHAHA, how pitiful of you." the girl spoke as she continuously laughed at Shin.
"Stop it! Stop it! STOP IT!" Shin shouted.
Shin was slowly falling into despair, his eyes looked lifeless. He was being pulled back by the chains tied up to him. As if it was trying to drag him to the abyss.
A girl who was shining so brightly suddenly appeared and offered Shin a hand. Shin reached out his hand and the girl held his hand.
"W..a..k..e U..p.. Sh..in..."
Shin finally woke up and he was breathing heavily. Tears flowed from his eyes, remembering those times, he felt so frustrated about how weak he was and how easy he was to get tricked by her.
Shin's alarm clock suddenly rang and he just remembered it was already Saturday. He then gets up and prepares as fast as he can since he's going to hang out with Mai later.
"Damn it, that dream... Well, no more reason to think about it now. I need to meet up with her before 11 AM. It's already 9:30 AM, I still have a little time left to prepare."
Shin was done preparing at 10:30 AM. He checked his phone for Mai's messages. She said that they would meet up near the restaurant MagRolands, near their school.
Shin then goes out and reaches the location on time. He saw Mai wearing a lovely white dress. Shin approached Mai and greeted her.
"You look stunning in that white dress, Mai!" Shin grinned as he spoke.
"Thank you Shin! You look good as well with your outfit today!" Mai said with a smile.
Although Mai seemed to like it, Shin felt that he wouldn't look well wearing this red polo shirt. He was pleased with Mai's compliments on him.
"Let's enjoy hanging out together! Where shall we head first?" With enthusiasm, Mai spoke.
"Let's go eat at MagRonald first, then we head to the Aquarium? We'll go eat first so that we will have tons of energy the whole day." said Shin.
Mai nodded and they went to MagRonald. Shin ordered 2 pc fried chicken and french fries while Mai ordered something Shin didn't expect.
She ordered 2 pc fried chicken, spaghetti, french fries and a chocoshake. Shin was speechless about what Mai ordered. He was surprised that a girl like Mai likes to eat a lot.
Mai questioned, "Shin? What's up with the surprised face? Is there something wrong?"
Shin answered nervously, "There's nothing wrong with it! Anyhow, let's eat our lunch now, then we'll go to the Aquarium next."
