It's Wednesday after classes,as I sit at the University's student union for late lunch.

I've got my closest friends with me,Kenji and Ayaka.

Ayaka

Kotoha, you're so amazing!I'm so jealous that you got the internship!

Ayaka

...but you're the more promising interior designer,you deserve it.

Kotoha

To be honest,i'm really nervous that time.

Kenji

Well,you really do deserve it Kotoha.

Kenji,gave me his usual small,lopsided smile.But then I notice a gleam of longing behind his eyes.I've known him since we're little and I can really tell that something is wrong.

Kotoha

Kenji,are you okay?You seem sad...

Kenji

I'm not.I mean...

Kenji

I'm happy for your internship but i'm frustrated on my own situation.

Ayaka let out a short laugh, she's trying to ease the seriousness as always.

Kenji lifts one corner of his mouth before looking serious again.

Kenji

I'm just frustrated.You know what you gonna do with your life but here I am,bored out my mind with accounting classes.

Kotoha

I know I've said this before but why don't you just change your major?

Kotoha

It's awful to see you unhappy and restless because of your studies.

Ayaka nods vigorously as I finish with...

Kotoha

I know your dad wants you to be a accountant like him.

Kenji

I just don't know what I would change it to.

Kenji

Okay,I'll stop being dramatic.

He lifts a shoulder and look at me with a glint on his eyes.

Kenji

By the way,are you all up for some badminton?

I frowned at the thought of playing badminton.While Ayaka laughs at me.

Kotoha

You know how clumsy and unathletic I am!

Ayaka

Haha,for sure.I've seen you trip over your own feet more than one occasion!

I swat at Kenji's and Ayaka's arm pretending to be offended.

Kotoha

Hey,I'm not that bad.

Kenji

Uh,I think you are.But...it's kind of cute.

Kotoha

Cute and clumsy?what I am a five year old kid?

Kenji gave me a look that I can't decipher then turn his head to the passerby.

After our lunch,Kenji and I head to our apartment near the University.

Kenji

Do you want to see movie this weekend?

Kotoha

Yeah,I'm already planning it.

Kenji

Can I come with you?

He gives me a sidelong glance.Something about his tone make my heart flips.

I can feel his gaze on me.Why do I feel so unnerved right now?Best to change the subject.

Kotoha

So, you're having that guy's poker thing in your house tonight?

He give me looks that I can't read before he smile at me.

Kenji

You can come over if you want.

Kotoha

No thanks,I have ZERO poker face.I will lose!

Kotoha

My face is like an open book.

He chuckles and pinch my cheeks.

Argh,I always feel like a kid!
