"You have very beautiful drawings."

Those were the very first words that he said to me...and they truly meant so much to me too.

I was only a first year in high school, looking up to my tall senior who leaned over to see my artwork. We were in the art club together, but because I was shy and a new transfer, I didn't really
talk with anyone much at that moment.

"Ano...Sempai.....a-arigatou....."

I looked down shyly at my drawings as the tall boy pulled a chair over and sat with me, leaning his arms on the desk and laying his head over them. "What's your name?"

My heart pulsed quickly at that moment before staring down again. "A-amiyama Sanae..." I tried her best not to blush in front of him, and I thought that keeping my eyes away from his would help.

"Eh?" Was my name displeasing? "Sanae?" He chuckled a little, making me cower a little more. "Kawaii~!"

I looked up at him shocked! She gave a small shy grin to him and perhaps that's when it had started.

Actually, I've seen him around before too, but I just never really talked to him, I was shy and quiet, or more shy and quiet than I am now...

I suppose that I honestly have to say that he wasn't a very attractive senior, but there was something about him that made my heart beat faster whenever he's near me. To others, he may not be
very attractive too, but to me...he was the most adorable person in the world to me at that time.

I fell in love...

...but I couldn't admit it...

[ai-shi-te]

"Sa-chan!" It was always that voice that was the most recognizable to me, or perhaps by heart I knew his voice. I turned, hearing the foot steps running, the tall and skinny Senior slowed down to a stop
when he approached me. "You missed the meeting today."

I stared at him, a little upset and my bottom lip stuck out without me even noticing, I bowed to him many times. "I'm sorry! I'm sorry!" I stood back up, trying to show him that I was really sorry, and really,
I was...but mornings were always a problem for me.

"Eh? Don't worry! Don't worry!" He smiled and laughed, patting my shoulder. I couldn't help but feel a bit shocked and a little happy too. That was the very first time that we physically touched.
Though I didn't smile, I feel like I did blush, but I hope he didn't noticed, or at the very least, it seemed like he didn't noticed.

But even so, to have been that close to Sempai...I felt lucky enough to even have him near, and for him to even talk to me made me happy.

"I was wondering though..." He smiled down at me. "In the cultural festival coming up later this year, if you would like to perform with me and some of the other Japan Club members."

I stared at him in question, I was a first year so I wasn't sure. "Eh...sure!" I gave him the same soft grin that I'd always give him, whether I realized it was the same or not didn't matter to
me. He invited me, and really, I wanted to perform with him, especially because HE specifically asked me.

It didn't matter what it was, I wanted to do my best for him. I even tried hard in physical education to make it seem like I wasn't lazy when he was out for physical education too. I did my
very best in English because his major was English, I tried... For him, I tried everything. Because...I really liked him....

"Ah! Cool!" He smiled down at me happily. "Practices are on Saturdays after school! We'll be doing Souran Bushi!" I paused at that as he flashed a thumbs up at me. "I'll see you later today then!" I stared at him as I watched him run off and wave, lightly waving back to him.

Souran Bushi was a fisherman's dance, a very traditional one. I wasn't against it, but...just thinking about all those men on boats jumping around and casting and pulling nets....I didn't think I could do it...

[ai-shi-te]

"Tired?" I nodded as I trudge on the trail behind Sempai. Apparently we just happened to walk the same way home until we came to a fork. He laughed at me as we walked in the park, the fork
was coming up ahead.

I can remember, that fork was what I had dreaded most, because once we reached it, he had to go one way and I had to go another. I...I wanted to be with him....always.... Quiet or not, I
wanted to be beside him...

"Well..." I looked up at him the best I could, he was just so tall and I was just so short... "Do you want to take a rest?" I looked at him in question and accidentally walked into him as he
stopped. He pointed at something and I turned to look around him to see what it was.

"Eh?!" I was surprised. "Since when has that bench been there??" I immediately ran for it, no matter how weak my legs were after all that squatting in place he made us do during practice.
I sat down and relax, smiling in relief.

He chuckled as he made his way to sit right next to me. "It's always been here." I looked at him and just stared. "Have you never noticed?"

...I just love the way he smiles...

We sat there for a little bit, just having small talk. Apparently he lives with his parents and has a little sister. He's the oldest son... And I know that he takes a lot of responsibility... Perhaps that why
he's number one in his year and the rest of the school...

I don't remember what we talked about...but I remember, I smiled and laughed, and I enjoyed spending time with him. I enjoyed spending time with him because he was Sempai...

Did he know how much he mattered to me...? I wondered...

"Ah! It's getting late!" He stood up and looked at the orangey sky and smiled down at me. "Come on. I don't want it to be my fault that you walked home alone in the dark." He
smiled at me and began walking off. "Better catch up!"

I smiled a little and stood up on my legs. I hope he didn't notice...how much I really liked him....

I took one step toward him with a smile but my expression become completely shocked as soon as my foot met with the floor. I could feel the tingles going up my leg to the rest of my body, making me
fall onto the ground.

I was shocked! I tried to get up as quickly as possible before he could see me in this embarrassing moment but I couldn't, my legs wouldn't move. They just tingled as I laid there. I stared at him,
hoping that he would just keep walking and was hoping that he'd stop turning his head when he did, but he saw me...in my pitiful state.

"Eh?" He seemed surprised that I was on the ground. "Are you alright?" He quickly jogged back to me and kneeled down.

"A-ano...." I didn't want to admit it but... "...my legs won't move...." Yes...I tried very hard to move my legs but the just tingled and pained.

He looked at me in surprise before his face changed and he chuckled at me before laughing out loud. I yelped as he pulled my arms and swung me onto his back, giving me a piggy back ride. "Just tell
me how to get you home." I flushed as he did and nodded, leaning my head onto his back. What chance would I get to do this again...? Being this close to Sempai....what more could I ask for....?

He took me home, and I showed him where the spare key was, inside the name plate by my door, because I realized that I left my keys in my room. He was kind enough to take me inside, take off my shoes for me, cook in my kitchen, feed me as I laid on the couch, and put me into my bed and tucked me in.

He did all this for me...and I wondered what it meant...and I had hoped that it meant that he liked me too... But I couldn't ask...I was afraid to ask....

After tucking me in, he said that he should be getting home. I thanked him, but he only smiled and said good night.

The next morning, I still couldn't get up...I heard the door bell ring, but I suppose that I had to ignore it because my legs wouldn't move...after all, sitting on and invisible chair for a few minutes for the first time was something I REALLY wasn't ready for... I just laid in bed, thinking to myself... I looked at my night stand and figured to myself, I suppose that my breakfast was going to be Hi Chew and Pocky... I sighed, that is until I heard the front door open and someone walking around my room. The door of my room opened and there he was, smiling... He was here to check up on me, and he figured that if

I didn't answer meant that I didn't or couldn't get up.

He brought me breakfast. We both ate there in my room. I didn't talk much but...I liked listening to him talk.

If it was Sempai...it didn't matter to me....[/i][/size]

[ai-shi-te]

"Eh! Sa-chan! I swear! You need to design a yukata for me too someday!" "Sa-chan, sugoi!!"

I only grinned shyly as I walked around the festival area with some of my friends. Nodoka-sempai was busy the majority of the time, but that was alright...I suppose...after all, Nodoka was in the
medical field so...I couldn't really complain....

"Sa-chan should have joined the Drama Club!" "Eh? Sou!! She's very good at costume design!" "Aww, pity she's too shy~!" "Sa-chan's too quiet!" "Eh! But she can be very whiny too!"
"NE~!!"

I whimpered as my friends teased me but smiled anyways. Today was one of the summer festival days. It was the last day actually. Figuring out I had nothing to do and Nodoka was busy the majority
of the time, I had decided to give in on the invitation to the festival with some friends from school. Though I'm not very close of friends with them, still...at the least they were friendly...and cared....just a
little bit. I sighed, sometimes, I felt more like a tag along, but it was alright. I got to go out and have fun with people I know, rather than sit around in the apartment and draw all day or roll around all
day with nothing to do.

After all...it was summer break!

"Sa-chan! Pay attention!"

"Eh?" I snapped out of my thoughts and stared at my friends with surprised as they smiled and teased me again about being such an air head.

"Let's go paddle gold fish!" "Hai!" "Hai hai~!"

I stared at them a little before smiling a little. Perhaps they actually do care more than I had thought. "Un!"

The four of us walked into a bright tent, receiving a plastic paddle and a cup before approaching the tub of tiny gold fish. The majority of the people in there were parents with their children and/or
lovers. I squatted down to a tub with my friends as we all began paddling and laughing with each other. I just stared at the fish swimming around, trying to find the perfect moment. It had only
been a few minutes and my friends already caught their gold fish. All three of them except for me. No matter how hard I tried...no fish wanted to get into my cup nor did they want to get hit by my
paddle... I frowned as her cheeks puffed a little in annoyance and sadness while my friends teased me but at the same time encouraging me. Even so...I still didn't feel confident about catching
a goldfish.

"Nozomi, watch." Eh? That voice... I couldn't help but turn my head to watch. The split in his soft semi bowl cut covered his face as a small girl sat beneath him as he hunched over her, holding
her hand with a paddle in it and her other hand that held the cup. They leaned forward towards the water and at the right moment, with the flick of his wrist, a small goldfish flew up and arced itself in
mid air, glistening along with the water drops that came up with it before falling into the cup of water. Why was it that that seemed like one of the most beautiful moments in life I had ever seen The
way his hands moved, the way his hair moved, the way his voice moved...everything he did....it felt beautiful...

"Waah!! Sugoi!!" I just sat there in my squatted position as the little girl hopped around in joy before running off to get a bag of water for the goldfish her older brother just caught for her.

Seeing that, I couldn't help but turn back to the water tub and continue trying to paddle a fish the best I could, feeling more determined not to look like some idiot who couldn't paddle a fish...

"Ah!" Oh noes...I hope he wasn't talking to me.... "Sa-chan?" I slowly turned my head towards him with a small hesitant smile, after all...how can I ignore Sempai...? My friends
looked up at him too, in which there really was no way to pretend I didn't know him, but how can I do that to him. "Ah! It is you!" I grinned shyly. "Did you need help?" I immediately
looked at him surprised but most of all, shy because his face was just so close when he leaned down towards me. "Come on!" He immediately squatted behind me and grabbed my hands, his face
leaned closed to mine, I could feel the heat from his chest and his breath, but could he feel the heat from my cheeks? Could he feel the beating of my heart of the pulse in my wrists? Because he was
so close to me, I did my best to hold my breath, I didn't want him to think that I breathed loudly...did I?

He continued to lean closer, my face, and most of all my ears, grew hotter and hotter, or did it seem that way to just me? In retaliation to his leaning, I couldn't help but lean further towards the tub too,
feeling shy of feeling his chest against my back, feeling his strong and steady heart beat against my back, feeling his arms around me in an embrace... I was too shy...to allow myself the indulgence of
being close to him...or being close to his heart.

As we leaned closer to the tub to, I could feel him getting ready to paddle a fish, so I closed my eyes, afraid of what I'd do when he'd leaned closer to paddle the fist. And when I felt him control my
wrist, it felt like I hit something with the paddle besides water and wondered if I was tipping over? And when arms grabbed my shoulders and turned me before my butt became cold and wet, I
couldn't help but knew...something was wrong.... I opened my eyes in shock at my Sempai's face as he did to me, but what we were really shocked about was the fact that he had just pushed me into
the tub of gold fish...

"Eh!! Sa-chan!!" "Sa-chan, are you alright?" "Oh no! She's all wet now!!" Kawaisouni..." "Sa-chan...!"

I stared at my friends with an awkward smile as everyone else in the tent stared and chattered and asked if I was alright... I couldn't think of anything to say... My eyes began to water as they shifted
around, I was confused and embarrassed... I could feel goldfish nibbling at my fingers in the water as my hands helped to prop me up. Sempai was hunched over me but only his hands were in the
water.

"Ani-chan! I got a bag!" The little girl from earlier came back to show off the fish in her plastic bag. "Are?" She gave the two of us a confused look. "Ani-chan, is she your girlfriend...?" She
stared at me with big eyes, waiting for an answer. Did she not access the situation...?

Sempai only looked at him before smiling and laughing. "No, she's not." He looked down, perhaps feeling embarrassed maybe? Because of what he's done? Or what he's probably done?
But that didn't matter to me. He only told the truth but...hearing that truth from him somewhat shattered my heart. I tried to smile it off but my eyes grew redder with more tears rimming my water line.
"This is my Kouhai, Sa-chan."

"Ani-chan..." Nozomi pointed at me. "Why is she crying?"

"Eh? Crying?" Sempai looked up at me, as I looked down at myself, in the water. "Sa-chan! I'm so sorry! Are you alright?" His wet hands grabbed my shoulders as they began to
shack. "I'm sorry! I didn't mean to push you in."

Is that what he thought...?

I tried to smile at him. "It's alright..." But I couldn't really.... I was soaking wet, having people stare at me, and most of all, heart broken, even if it was the truth.

"Here." He grasped my hand in the water, pulling me up as he stood. I held myself, wet and cold, my shoulders came close to me as I tried to make myself as small as possible. The yukata I
made at the start of summer break clunged to me where it was wet. I held my head down low as Sempai took off his haori. "Here, let me take responsibility..." He pulled his haori over
me, it was long and big as he tied it at my waist. "Are you alright?"

I only sniffed as I nodded, hoping my nose wouldn't run.

"Sa-chan, are you okay?" "Sa-chan..." "Are you alright..?"

My three friends only stood to the side as I nodded, afraid to look at them...

"Kouhai-san!" I blinked at the little girl through my tears. She only stared at me with that childish face of her's. "You have a pretty yukata." She had her hands folded behind her as she
just stared up at me.

"A..arigatou...." I laughed a little and smiled down at her.

Even though I was practically soaked and wet, after my friends helped me wrung out the water from my yukata, they wouldn't let me go home because, actually, we were only there for an hour
anyways already. And they wanted to see the fireworks so... We all walked around the festival area, with Sempai and his little sister, Nozomi-chan. We played games, or more like they did as I stood in
the back, and snacked on takoyaki and taiyaki and squid. All kinds of food over there.

Even though my friends made me stay, it seemed that they all just happened to coincidentally had to go home, meet their boyfriends who miraculously got the night off, or decided to go hang out with
other friends... So then, it was just me, Sempai, and Nozomi, aimlessly walking around the festival area in silence. As we walked though, I've calmed down after a while, I couldn't help but notice
that there were quite a couple of couples walking around, in one another's arms, holding hands, linking arms, laughing and chatting with each other happily. It looked...pretty nice..... But Sempai and I
remained silent with each other as Nozomi hummed and skipped around between us, holding onto our hands. I looked up at Sempai who only smiled as we walked. As peaceful as it was, which I liked,
I couldn't help but wish that there was something more between us instead of Sempai and Kouhai...

I want to be with you...

After a while, Nozomi began to get tired so there it broke my connection to Sempai as she rode on his back, leaning his head against his back, just like I have done once before with him. We
walked around aimlessly, one foot distance between us...

I wanted to close that space...I want to lean against his shoulder...I want to hold onto his arm.........

I want to be with you...

As I walked, I didn't noticed that Sempai had stopped until he called my name. "Sa-chan!" I turned to look at him, snapping out of my thoughts. "Look up!" A loud boom sounded the area as I
looked up startled, the fireworks show was starting. I stared at Sempai as fire flowers appeared behind him as he smiled and laughed in joy, looking up at the night sky.

He wasn't the most attractive person in the world...but to me...he was the most beautiful person I had ever seen, and his smile with the flowers of fire behind him...only made him more beautiful.

I want to be with Sempai....I want to tell Sempai that I like him....so very much...

Hontou suki dayo....

(I feel like I'm reading a fanfiction, and I'm waiting for updates. XD)

And then Nodoka came in and cockblocked.

(LOL Just kidding. Anyways, so I really love your writing style. Ah, it makes a bit envious! And one-woman RP sounds like a good idea. Maybe I should do that if I plan on making a "fanfiction" type... role-play...? ._.

Let's try that again. I love your idea and I'm going to steal borrow it. And this story... Because of the title, I'm having this awful feeling that I know where this is heading... *sobbu* Sad ending?)

[ai-shi-te]

(Honestly....I was going to have Nodoka be a part of this too. <3 But we'll see.

Eh? Sou? Thank you very much! Yet I'm still trying to improve on my writing.

But go ahead! I'd love to read single user role plays from others too. I think that doing single user role plays help role players develop and mature their characters a little more by exploring them. And then that's when they can think and reflect on their writing and their character. Is my writing detailed enough? Can my readers understand? Is my character understandable? Is my character relatable? Is my character too perfect? Things like that. <3 It's good practice, it's basically just writing a story actually. <3 But this one is different.

I'm not sure about the ending yet, but I hope that it won't be a sad ending. Though the title of the song is sad, I feel that the song is more of an optimistic song rather than pesemistic so...I'd probably do a semi-optimistic ending because this is actually basing off of my first love. <3

I'll be deciding on if I should show you guys who he is at the end when I finish. <3)

[dzetsu]

(I'd love to work on one soon. The only problem is... Iroha's personality... is... hard to work with. She's too stupid, lol. Hm... I guess I myself don't know much about Ryosuke. I should think of something for him.)

[ai-shi-te]

(LOL!! Well, you can always have a day where Iroha learns something and understands it and then the next day forgets. <3 I'd love to see one of Ryosuke. <3)

[ai-shi-te]

"Whoo! A beautiful ocean, some really cute girls in really cute swim suits!" One of my seniors exclaimed as he stepped onto the warm sand with his towel, large umbrella, and his surf board.
"What more could I ask of from the beach...?" He smiled in satisfaction, taking in the joy before a girl in a skimpy bikini walked past him, making his eyes follow her before giving a wolf whistle and
dropping his things before trying to follow, only to be tripped by Sempai.

"Not so fast there, Matsuma, you have to help us set up, you can't let our underclassmen do it all by themselves." He laughed a little and smiled before helping up his best buddy. "Besides,
Ogura-san doesn't look to happy at your opinion." They two men looked over to a fuming girl with crossed arms and a glare at Sempai's best buddy.

I watched from within the stuffed van as the group I came here with were already out, walking onto the white sand, going as close to the water as possible for a place to set up. Quite a bit came
actually, two cars. Sempai and some of his friends, another friend of mine, and some other people and even Ryousuke came, yet at the time, I didn't know him that well. I shook in place as there seemed
to be hardly any shade...AND...there seemed to be hardly any space... The beach was a pretty sight, yes? If it wasn't covered with sweaty and oily looking big men with round tummy's that
reflected the light of the sun back at the world... Or!! If it wasn't covered with ladies putting sun tan lotion on one another and pretending to be innocent in front of other guys or act shamelessly
in front of other guys. It all seemed so shameless!! And what's more....it was hot.....and there was lots and lots of sun...

Sempai turned around to look at the two vans being unpacked. "Oi! Sa-chan! Are you coming out or not?"

Eh!! Ehh... I didn't want Sempai to think I was too lazy to help or anything so...I finally decided to step out of the van, first opening up my parasol of course, trying to keep the sunlight off of myself as
much as possible of course, and I stood out in the whole entire beach, dressed in a semi long sun dress and a light cardigan and even wearing a cloche on my head. Everyone else were...showing
much skin...and here I was, covered as much as possible. I went around to the back and slung on my bag securely before slinging on some camping/beach chairs onto myself, trying to carry as much as
possible to get unloading and set up done as soon as possible AND not to look like a frail lazy princess. I pulled myself over onto the sand, and when grains touched my bare feet since sandals didn't
completely cover me...I stood there, frozen with the heat of the grains burning on my feet! But even still, not wanting to look like a stupid whiny crybaby, I sucked it in and walked past Sempai with
everything I could carry and walked to the gazebo someone had set up for us. I dropped everything and ran back to the van, very weirdly though, as I was also running with a parasol and I didn't
really know how to run like a normal person in the first place, to unload some more and drop it off at the gazebo as Sempai only watched me run to and fro slowly, carrying what I could. And pretty
soon, I didn't even notice that everyone stopped to watch along with Sempai, especially when I was dragging an ice chest with one hand while the other one held onto my parasol. It was heavy!!

And there was everyone, watching me drag it slowly...sometimes making a stop to rest a little before Sempai started laughing as he made his way towards me, picking up the chest with both his hands
and pulling it up, making me stare at him. "Sa-chan, you're just so cute sometimes." I stared at him as he walked off with the ice chest, laughing as he made his way to the gazebo.

In my heart...as I stood there, trying to hide my blushing...I was so happy to hear that from Sempai....

So, after set up, everyone ran off to go play in the water. Jin (Matsuma) took Kaori (Ogura) off with him so that she could 'ride the waves' with him on his surf board. Some people went to go get
some ice cream or what not and others went to play in the sand....OUT IN THE SUN! And others went to go chase girls....in their...shameless attire... And then there was me...sitting beneath
the gazebo, with my parasol still open and over me, sitting on a towel, watching everyone play. I guess...you could say that I was a little bored. ... Okay, I actually was a little bored, but we all know why I came...

Sempai invited me...

So...

Plop~!

I looked to my side to see Sempai sitting next to me, his bare torso catching the attention of my eyes, no matter how hard I try not to pay attention to that... His wet hair, framing his face... "Sa-chan,
what are you doing sitting here?"

I was surprised by that question. "Eh! Ahh!!" What should I say?? "I-I'm watching our stuff..." I smiled and laughed just a little.

"Eh! That's no fun!" He combed his hair back with his long fingers, he looked different with his hair slick back, but more sophisticated, making him look more appealing to me for some
reason... I stared down at the sand that sat at and beneath my towel that I sat on with Sempai. "I asked you to come because I wanted you to have fun." I looked up at him a little as he looked
over at me with a sort of disappointed smile, did he know I wasn't really having fun?

It was quiet...I wasn't sure what to say.... "I..." I looked about. "I'm sorry....but I need to stay here...." I looked down.

"Eh? Why?"

"I..." It's probably ridiculous but... "I...I can't stand the sun!" If my skin is directly touched by sunlight...I start itching there.... But it all depends on how harsh the rays are.

"Eh!? No way?" He laughed a little. "When you have fun, you'll forget all about it!" I looked at him as he laughed and hopped up, grabbing my hand and pulling me up, making me yelp a
little. He swooped me up into his arms and began running for the water.

Eh!! I was being carried in Sempai's arms!! I wasn't sure if I should have been scared, because I was in the sunlight, or if I should be blushing. My body couldn't react as I watched the water come
closer and closer. "W-wait!! I can't swim! Yaa!!!" When he ran deep enough into the water, he tossed me right it, face first.

Bubbles and what not swooshed around as I struggled to stand up, trying to get onto my feet. I finally felt the floor and stood up, coughing from swallowing some water and pushing some of my hair
back that covered over my eyes. I wiped the water off my face and mildly heard some laughing as my ears began to clear of the water that had gotten in my ears. I looked up at Sempai as my eye sight
began to clear and stared at him as he laughed at me.

I didn't know how to react. I was soaking wet, in my sun dress that floated up to the surface because it was so thin, and I was in the sun, yet it didn't seem to bother me at the moment, and Sempai
was laughing at me...yet I just couldn't help but think to myself.

I love the way you laugh...

I stared at him and frowned as I walked around him to make my way to the shore, I kept my head down low, not want anyone to see my flushing face. I couldn't hold back heated cheeks and red
ears...and even if I knew they were heating up, I hoped that no one noticed. Jin and Kaori came surfing by to Sempai who only watched with a surprised and unsure face, thinking he probably made me
made by doing something I didn't want to do.

"Sa-chan!" I turned when I heard Kaori's voice. She plopped into the water and made her way towards me as quickly as she could, grabbing onto my hands. "Are you alright?"

"Un." I nodded but kept my face down.

"Oh ho! So what did you do to the little lady?" Jin jumped into the water and held onto his board, nudging Sempai with his elbow. "Trying to make a move on her?"

"What?! No!" Sempai shoved back at him, laughing. "I'm just trying to be a good sempai! Unlike you, always making your girlfriend jealous!"

"Shut up!"

"Sa-chan, what's wrong?" Kaori looked about, trying to see the expression on my face, each time she tried, I looked to a different direction so she couldn't see my rosy cheeks. "Ahh..." I didn't
notice her fingers curl up a little. "TICKLE, TICKLE, TICKLE~!!" Her fingers pocked at my sides and began to tickle me as I bursted out laughing and looked up by accident. "Ah
ha!! Ooh!! Did something happen? Your blushing~!" She teased at me.

I frowned at her as she crossed her arms, acting as if she knew everything. "I-it's because you tickled me!" I whined at her.

"Right..." She smirked knowingly, not believing me. We didn't notice Sempai and Jin approaching.

"So, ladies..." Jin looked at us as he slung an arm over Kaori's shoulders but stopped and looked at me. "Well, Little Lady! That's a very cute swim suit you got beneath that white
dress of yours!"

Ehh!! I looked at him shocked as Kaori frowned and elbowed him with a frown. Sempai only shook his head and face palmed himself with a small smile. "Don't tease her, Jin!"

"I was only saying!" He laughed, hugging her and giving her kisses on her neck, making me look down...just watching them interact in such a way...felt so....shameless...... "Besides, this
pervert here...." He slapped Sempai's shoulder blade. "...really wants to get that dress off Little Lady."

I looked up shocked and blushed.

"S-shut up!" Sempai pushed back at Jin and then they both began to playfully fight with each other as I looked back down shyly, my fingers began to fiddle with one another as I was unsure of
what to do. Actually, Nodoka helped picked out this swimsuit but she couldn't make it to the trip.

"Sa-chan, why don't you just take it off?" Kaori looked at me in question as I shyly looked up at her.

We both stared at each other for a moment. "...because I don't want to."

"This pervert wants you to!" As soon as I heard that, I dropped my head again.

"Shut up!" Sempai pushed Jin back into the water.

"Sa-chan!" Kaori frowned a little and crossed her arms. "You'll catch a cold with your wet dress clinging onto you like that." She grabbed whatever of the dress that floated about in
the water and began to pull it off, I began to protest noisily, whining 'no'. "Sa-chan! Come on!"

"Iyaa!"

"Sa-chan!"

Riiiip!!

The three of them looked at me as I stared at Kaori who had tore off my dress off by accident....I just stared at her shocked....it felt like....it felt like....IT MUST HAVE FELT LIKE I JUST GOT RAPED IS WAS
IT FELT LIKE!!

My eyes began to water as I stared at her. "S-Sa-chan....I'm sorry....."

Jin gave a wolf whistle. "Whoo! So even the little lady can dress like this eh?" He nudged at Sempai only to be shoved aside by him as I didn't even have the guts to look at him, I only stared at
Kaori.

"S-Sa-chan...." Kaori tried to reach for me but I only covered my face with one hand and used the other arm to try to cover myself. I felt so bare for some reason. "I'm so sorry!" Kaori
lightly touched my shoulders but I couldn't say anything.

"I'll take care of her." Sempai laid a hand on Kaori's shoulder, making her leave me alone and return to Jin indecisively. Honestly, I'd rather have Kaori beside me rather than having to look at
Sempai in the face.

"Oh yeah! You take REALLY good care of her!"

"Shut it, Matsuma." Sempai playfully splashed water at the couple, making Jin laugh as they began to walk past.

As they walked past me, Jin decided to whisper in my ears, "when he's finished, he'll be very happy if you say 'that was amazing~!'"

"Jin!" Kaori slapped his arm. "Don't tease her like that!"

"What? I was only trying to help!" The couple began to distant from me and Sempai, and it was awkward with me and my covered face, trying to stop crying, and Sempai just standing around
awkwardly.

"Sa-chan, are you alright?" I nodded as I felt a hand on my shoulder. I dropped my other hand into the water but kept my face down so he couldn't see the embarrassment on my face. I reached
for my torn dress, floating in the water, and pulled it over to cover at the very least my collar bones. "I'm sorry, I pulled you into the water." I shook my head, trying to make it as clear as possible
that I wasn't upset at him, because I couldn't speak for some reason. "But you know..." He turned a little, and I decided to take my chance to look up at him, his eyes were away as he
covered his lips. "You actually look really cute." His eyes furrowed as I caught a little blush on his cheeks.

I looked back down and blushed a little. "...thank you...." It was a little hard to not smile, but I held it in anyways.

"You're so cute." "You look really cute."

I want Sempai to praise me more and more.

I want Sempai to notice me more and more.

I want to be with Sempai more and more...

Because I like Sempai so much more and more...

-At the end of the Day-

"Sa-chan!!" Kaori stood at the shore, staying away from the incoming tide. It was getting dark and the group had set up a bon fire. "Come out or else you'll catch a cold!"

"IYAA!" I frowned at her as I shouted that back at her for the hundreth time she shouted that at me. I didn't want anyone to see me in the swimsuit any lower than my torso...and my towel was all
the way at the gazebo, where no one wanted to get it for me. Ryousuke and Sempai offered to bring it, but Jin sat on it and shouted out that if I wanted it, I had to get out and go get it.

"Sa-chan!" Kaori sighed after shouting. "If you don't come out! The sharks might get you since they're out at night!"

"Eh!!" I looked at her shocked.

"Oh My GOD!!" Kaori stared even more shocked!! "SHARK!!!" She screeched, making me panick inside. "HURRY!! IT'S COMING!!!!" I cried and screamed as I ran
through the water as fast as I could, feeling scared and actually feeling something swim towards me for some reason. As I made it to the shore, I panted as I kept my legs closed together and
crossed my arms as a breeze blew by. It was cold.

I looked back out at the dark waters. "Where is it?"

Kaori bursted out laughing. "I was only kidding!" She lightly pushed me, making me frown and whine at her. Actually, there really was no shark in the first place, because where the beach site
was, there was actually a gate that kept sea creatures out of the area for the safety of the people. It was only moving through the water that made it seem like there was really something after me.
