Chapter 2:

It's Hard to Love Him

Sorrowful Love


As Rika walked home she thought about the times Daichi flirted with women and openly cheated on her. Getting slightly depressed she decided to think about their date at an amusement park tomorrow and remembered to text Daichi back. He replied and told her where and what time their date was. Now cheerfully smiling just thinking about their date together Rika continued happily smiling on her way to her apartment. When she got home she went straight to her closet and thought about what she should wear for their date. Not wanting to look too dressed up but still cute she choose a yellow and light pink floral skirt, a white blouse for the top, a cream blazer and cream colored flats to match. Rika started to get tired but was still energetic from thinking about her date, hoping to calm down she decided to read another one of her favorite authors books. After reading for about 15 minutes her energy from thinking about the date died down and she was finally able to sleep. The next day Rika got up and started getting ready, once she was done she excitedly went to the amusement park and went to a fountain where Daichi said to meet. Spotting Daichi walking through the crowd towards the fountain Rika began to fidget in embarrassment and excitment. After he got near the fountain she could see there was a group of people following him closely but dismissed the thought that he would bring other people to their date. Then Rika despairingly realized he was the kind of person to do that. Once Daichi got close enough to talk with he said "These are some of my friends from college, they're going to be coming on the date with us." A few women were in the group and they said "Hello~It's nice to meet you." they then mumbled "Does she really have to be here...is she even his girlfriend?" Trying not to upset Daichi, Rika tried to stand her ground and replied "It's nice to meet you, I'm Daichi's girlfriend Suzuki Rika." The women peeked at Daichi to see his response he neither agreed nor denied. The group of women and even the guys slightly giggled at Rika. Rika blushed from embarrassment but continued to stay with the group wanting to be with Daichi. While walking through the amusement park the group of women started flirting with Daichi and lead him away from the group. Rika tried going towards Daichi to bring him back but the rest of the group pulled Rika with them to another area to go eat. While getting dragged she glanced back at Daichi and saw one of the women move to kiss him. Rika closed her eyes and turned away so she wouldn't get even more hurt by the image of them kissing. She went along with the rest of the group so she can stop seeing Daichi with other women.

Daichi realized Rika was walking away from him with his friends and started walking back towards his group of friends. The girls he brought along started pulling him in the opposite direction. Starting to get frustrated he turned around glared at them and said "Stop touching me with your disgusting hands." The girls looked at eachother for a moment and then..."KYAAAAAA! He's so cool when he's mad!" Not paying them any attention he again started walking towards his friends group. Noticing a friend of his was getting closer to Rika he mindlessly speed up his pace.

While walking to the food court one of Daichi's friends started getting closer to Rika until they were side by side. He started talking to her..."My name is Hirano Masaki, It's nice to meet you Suzuki-chan." Rika started stepping away from him and thought to herself "CHAN!?" Then Daichi came up from behind them and put his arm around Masaki's shoulder, smiled and asked "What are you doing Masaki?" Masaki weakly replied "Hahaha...just talking about food..." Daichi slightly pushed off of Masaki while moving his arm off of him. Masaki scurried away from Daichi and got back near the group. Daichi then turned towards Rika, grabbed her waist and pulled her near him. Rika started to blush from Daichi's sudden bold action but she didn't pull away. Daichi looked down at Rika and asked her "Do you want to go on a ride together?" Rika nodded her head and softly said "...Y-yes." Daichi lead Rika by the waist to the ferris wheel. They got on and sat together but were sitting silently for half of the ride. Rika remembered Daichi didnt say anything about her outfit. She looked at her lap while blushing, fidgeting her hands and shyly asked "...W-what do you think of my c-clothes?" Daichi turned and looked down at her, staring for a bit then responding with a simple "It's okay." Rika then started wanting to cry but held her tears back and looked out the window. Daichi looked down at Rika while paying no attention to her pained face and he kissed her.
