We Are Crazy, Right ?

In the car, we don’t talk with each other. I’m busy with driving while Aimi is playing with her phone. Around 10 minutes more and we will arrive at my house. Maybe its better to not talk anything right now. At least, that what I thought first.

“Makoto, do you like that Tsuda Haruka-san?”

“W-what w-with you suddenly?!”

“You really like her. Should you not try to befriend her? At least you can know more about her.”

“Why are you giving me advice now? Should not you are thinking about yourself first?”

“What do you mean by that? Is it about my house? Don’t worry about that! My house has a tight security….maybe?”

“Not that-“

“If you want talk about Hakuta-san again, I will kill you tonight.”

“I’m sorry.”

“It’s okay. How about we eat pizza tonight? It’s been long time I had pizza!”

“Whatever do you want.”

As we arrived at my house, Aimi wanted to take a bath first and wash her clothes that she wears earlier for tomorrow. I lend her my cloth that I rarely wear as they’re a bit large for me. I will take a bath after her. Meanwhile waiting for Aimi to take a bath, I order for delivery pizza first.

“Yes! The pizza is finally here! Makoto! Wear your clothes fast! I’m so hungry!”

“I come!”

“Look! This pizza looks so delicious! You are the best, Makoto!”

“Don’t forget to pay me later! Also, the coffee earlier too!”

“I think I will forget about it tomorrow! Who cares? Let’s eat the pizza now!”

“I care! Alright, let’s eat pizza now!”

I ordered two pans of pizza. I don’t expect Aimi to eat more than me. Anyways, as long as she becomes cheerful again, it’s fine.

“I feel my stomach will burst anytime!”

“Me too! Aimi, you can sleep in my room later. I will sleep at living room.”

“Okay!”

Right. That is what is supposed to happen. But why the hell is she sleeping with me at living room?

“Aimi, what are you doing here? I thought you sleep at my room.”

“Sorry, but I worried that you might miss me while sleeping. You should be grateful that I willingly to sleep with you tonight!”

“Stupid! How can I sleep with you? Both of us are already grown up man and woman!”

“We are friends, right? Its fine then.”

Why is she always talking about ‘we are friends’ ?

“Why are you always saying that? Did I have said something that hurt you?”

“You are starting it first!”

“What do you mean?”

“Did you asking me that?!”

Seriously, what’s wrong with her? Wait! I just remember something….

“If you are talking about that time, you were the one that starting it first!”

“Are you kidding? When did I said that?”

“When you are talking with your friend during third year our high school.”

I still remember that conversation until today.

“Aimi, do you have someone you like?”

“Not really. Why?”

“Nothing. I just curious that if you and Kujo-kun are dating. Both you look so close and even going home together after school.”

“It just that our house was next to each other. Besides, Makoto and I are just a friend right now.”

I coincidentally heard the conversation between Aimi and her friends during recess that time. I feel shocked to know how she feels about me. Somehow, I feel like I have been rejected by her without confessing to her. After the final exam, I decided to confess to her but that I know her true feelings now, maybe it’s better to not tell her.

“Idiot Makoto.”

“Why are you calling me idiot?”

“I have said that time, ‘for now’ right? How can you don’t understand what I mean by that?”

“You just said that ‘we are friends for now’ that time. So, what? Did something will happen after that….”

No! For now? Did she mean our relationship will change after that? Wait! Is that true? If that are true, I am so idiot. When I look at Aimi, she is looking other way trying to not meet with my eyes.

“Aimi…”

“Don’t make me say that idiot!”

“But, how about Ryo? Did not you like him?”

“I thought by doing that, you will feel jealous and try to confess to me like in shojo manga. But you look so happy supporting me trying to confess to Hakuta-san. You are so dumb!”

I think I have been called idiot, dumb many times today.

“But you look so happy when I am talking about him, and you look so sad when knowing Ryo having a girlfriend.”

“I can’t deny that maybe I have really fallen in love with him. What I said at group blind date also were my true feelings and if I can be with him, I can try to forget about you.”

“Are you an actress? Why are you trying to make that kind of drama? Why can you just tell me all of this?”

“In first place, if only you didn’t reject me that time, all of this thing will not happen now!”

“I’m so sorry for that. But it still your wrong for involving Ryo in your ‘bad plan’.”

“I have already apologize to Hakuta-san many times and explaining the truth of my actions. He understands it’s so quickly and said that he will support both of us.”

Ryo, I don’t know if you are joking or being real. Now that I know Aimi’s true intentions, I don’t know what I want to say to her. I’m also being false as not understand what she meant at that time and reject her because of that misunderstand.

“Makoto.”

“W-what i-is it, Aimi?”

“Can you forget all of this? I think I have become a crazy person. Why I did that stupid plan? I should know that plan will be fail and I still doing that. At the end, I don’t ever get anything other than this embarrassment,” Aimi said while she is wiping her tears that slowly falling down from her eyes.

Stupid Makoto! Why I am being this loser? Can I do something about this? I don’t want to see her crying like this in front of me.

“A-aimi, listen to me carefully. What I want to say right now is i-important. You will be my girlfriend and I will be your boyfriend from today.”

How crazy I am trying to confess to her like this? Usually, in drama, this kind of confession does not happen and the relationship between male and female lead will be fall apart. Then, they slowly go away from each other’s life as time passes. But here, I suddenly confessed to Aimi after what happened before now. We are crazy, right?
