Mayuzumi Amami finally received the phone call she had been waiting for.
She had been looking forward to the agreed upon date, but now that it was here, she was so nervous that she was trembling and unsure of herself.
Should she contact him of her own volition or wait for him to contact her?
Just this question gave her over an entire hour’s worth of frustration. She called her cousin Rika Amami, but the only response she received from her cousin was "Just do whatever you like!"
"Are you a middle school girl that’s going out to have fun with a boy for the first time to get frustrated over such a small matter!?" scolded her older cousin when she heard of her 'dilemma.' "By the way, even among middle school girls nowadays, it’s really rare to find one as shy as you."
"Seiji Haruta is a good kid—just relax and be casual with him."
Rika told Mayuzumi and went on saying similar stuff before she hung up.
