A date?

"Echoes of Love: A second chance."

[Chapter 34 Start]

The school granted us a three-day break so we could prepare for the written exam. So, when I should be studying— Why am I here?!

"Hi!" Haruno spotted me. We closed the distance between us. Haruno took heavy breaths while covered in sweat, and asked  "Am I late?".

Being the gentleman I am, replied "No, I just got here myself." This is very obviously a lie since I have been standing here doing absolutely nothing and putting my shins in pain waiting for Haruno.

"Thank you very much for agreeing to go shopping with me today!"

"YOU DIDN'T EVEN GIVE ME THE OPTION TO CHOOSE!" I thought while staring into her soul because I can't ramble that out. I sighed heavily and asked, "So, where do we go to buy your stuff?".

"I wanted to buy new clothes so let's go to the nearby mall!"

Now I know this scene is very familiar to you but I promise it is not what you think. We went to the mall and bought new stuff for Haruno. Everything was going normal. At least till yet.

I want to kill myself. No, seriously. I want to kill myself. "Why?" you ask. It's because WHY AM I THE ONLY MALE HERE? No, WHY ARE WE HERE?!

I, a male, was standing alone in a place filled with girls. But the problem is, It is a bikini shop.
Yes. This is the exact reason why I want to kill myself.

"I thought you wanted to buy normal clothes." I say to Haruno.

"You don't know? After the festival, we are getting a 7 day vacation and a trip to okinawa. We definitely need a swimsuit!"

"What. When the hell did that happen? We are already having a beach episode?" I thought as I stood lifelessly staring the void.

"You should buy something for yourself."

I still wasn't out of the shock. "Why is that a shock?" you asked. Well- wait you didn't asked? I'm still going to explain it. So, I get to see Ayame, Chako, Haruno and maybe Aoi if she's recovered by that time in bikinis!. Let's fucking go. Alright, let's stop exaggerating.

We did more shopping. Buying food for Haru, some more clothes, some more clothes. HOW MANY CLOTHES DO YOU NEED?

She finally stopped buying clothes. I was deadtired and was about to ask "Can I go home now?" as she interrupted me and said "You must be hungry by now. Want to go eat somewhere?"

"YESSIRRRRR!" I thought as my eyes glowed with happiness.

"I know a really cool place nearby. Wanna try it?" 

I said yes with no hesitation because food.

We go there and order some takoyaki with some sandwiches and juice. No drinks because I don't drink. Haruno had no obligations and I gulped the food with no hesitation.

She let out a chuckle watching me. 

"You're just like Jun-kun." I don't know if that's a compliment.

"Thank you very much for shopping with me. I didn't had someone to ask so I was very worried." There was sincerely in her eyes. I stopped eating the food like a demon and replied "No biggie." before going back to gulping those scrumptious takoyaki menacingly.

After that we parted ways. It was quite a tiring day. But... it was quite fun too.

The next 2 days passed with me studying, visiting Aoi, and some more studying. And now today, is finally the day of the written test.
