Chapter 7
Part Two
He braced himself and walked up to her, "Cindy…"
She jumped, as expected, "Sakuragi! You scared me!"
Sakuragi scratched the back of his head apologetically, and beamed at her, "Want to go for lunch together?"
Cindy blinked, "Are you asking me out?"
"Eh, yes."
"Oh…okay," She packed her books into the bag and stood, "You made me feel inferior," She pouted.
"Huh?"
"You are so tall!!!" Cindy grinned, tipping her toes to pat his flaming red head.
Sakuragi blushed and turned away before she could notice his flushed face.
"Let's go, then."
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cindy POV
Lunch is nice. Sakuragi's been staring at his food for sometime, wonder what he's thinking of.
"Oy…" I pushed his bento box towards him, "Aren't you going to eat yet?"
"Wh..huh?" He looked up at me with a strange expression, "Cindy… I need to tell you something,"
I took a bite off the apple, keeping eye contact with him, "What?"
"I eh… I eh…"
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sakuragi POV
Damned that stutter. Why do guys always stutter when they are about to confess? Make it fast, Hanamichi. I lowered my head and examined the bento box, pretending that it's very pretty.
"IlikeyouverymuchCindywillyoubemygirlfriend?"
Ah, got it out.
Wait, why isn't she screaming or gasping or…
I looked up. Cindy was talking over her mobile phone. She bid the other person a hurried goodbye and looked at me, "Sorry, sorry! What did you just say?"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cindy POV
Aiyoh, that Ren, call me at lunchtime… Sakuragi said something, but I didn't catch it. It's only a phone call, why is he staring at me with a piteous, distressed, teary expression like this? I don't get it.
"I'm so sorry…what did you just say?"
He took a deep breath, "Cindy, I like you very much. Will. You. Be. My. Girlfriend?"
Did he just say that? I must have been staring at him because he looked distraught again, "Never mind if you don't like me, you know… It's my 52nd rejection and well…"
Some people actually rejected him? Why? He's so nice… Sakuragi stood to go, "Thank you for having lunch with me anyway…"
"But Hanamichi, I…"
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sakuragi POV
She called me 'Hanamichi'…not 'Sakuragi'…
I felt bubbles rising and bursting within myself, it might be a success after all…
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sakuragi Gundan POV
So sad. He wasn't rejected.
"Okay guys, let's go to the Pachinko."
"Aren't you going to ask Hanamichi along?"
"He? He'll be out on his precious date with Cindy girl. Lucky fellow, he's finally gotten himself a girl."
