The long awaited exam day is tomorrow.  To say I am nervous is an understatement. I am all loose and will break to pieces anytime soon if I wait any longer but here I am snuggling in my blanket while staring at my blank ceiling because my mind feels like a ticking bomb which about to explode if any single info entered.

The white ceiling looks like a canvas and I can see endless possibilities of tomorrow scribbled on it. Some encourage me but the rest made me has goosebumps all over my body.

Too many what if  play in my mind. I feel worn out and the exam does not even begin yet. 

"Reina, can you please go to the convenience store? We run out of fruits for desserts", my mum's voice echoes through the empty house. My father is working. Tatsuki goes out to meet his friends. Seiko has an assignment to be done at her school while Haruki is attending his karate class. I am the only choice she has.

"But mum, I have exam tomorrow. What if I caught a cold? You don't want your daughter fails her entrance exam just because some desserts, right? ", I yell back, trying to persuade her.

"Remember Reina,the mum's blessing is the most important! With that in your head, you shall succeed."

My mum everyone.

After agreeing on being her errand girl, I grab my muffler and coat and walk downstairs. A smug grin plastered on my mum's face. I try my best to hide my smile to not give her the joy of winning. Seeing my mum acting like a youngster like that does tickles my heart.

Luckily, it hasn't snowed yet. Taking my time, I reach the store after a couple of minutes and buy what mum ordered. Just I am about to exit the store, someone greets me. Even only at the sound of his voice, butterflies in my stomach flutter like there is no tomorrow.

"Hitsuya."

He stands in front of me and in a split of second he is towering over me.

Damn boys and their comical height.

"What are you doing here? I thought you was busy studying at home since tomorrow-"

"I know, I know. This happened," I show him the plastic bags and he nods, getting what I meant.

"Can I walk with you? ", being the gentleman he is, which I only realize at that moment, he offers. Startled, I just shrug and mumble my agreement.

"Ah, that reminds me. Which high school are you going for? "

"Minami High School? "

"Why? " The word escapes my lips before I could process it.

"Why why? "

"You're active in sports and your grades are not that bad. You could've apply for a sports school like Ryuuhei High School.  I heard that they have one of the best sports programme in our state. "

"I know, " his voice sounds firm. His eyes are staring right ahead at the sky horizon.

"Then, why? "

"Sometimes it's not about what I want but what is right. The best for all."

Silence conquers the atmosphere. It makes me uncomfortable different from the other time. I felt like I am obligated to fill the empty space but my tongue won't cooperate with me and I am left in such a socially awkward situation. There is no such thing that I hate more than trapped in that kind of situation.

"You know I've been thinking-"

Finally, a word!

"Please don't overdone it. You know pushing your brain over the limit is not good. What if you get-"

"Geez Reina, I get it. Thank you for being such a concerned friend, " sarcasm dripping off heavily from his voice. He rolls his eyes but I can see a smile tugging at the corner of his lips.

"You've been thinking what exactly? "

His head snaps towards my direction and our eyes meet. Brown might not be my favourite colour but staring into his eyes suddenly it became one of mine. I can count how many freckles he has because of the close distance between us at that moment. My cheeks feel warm and I am afraid that they are flushing red right now. I avert my eyes gaze, unable to hold it any longer. Being the awkward person I am, I clear my throat to bring his attention back.

"Oh, yeah. I've been thinking that since you call me Hitsuya, I will call you differently too. Fair and square. "

Childish.

A small, quiet chuckle run out from my mouth but I know he saw it since he glares at me.

"Hikari. "

"Huh? "

"I'll call you Hikari."

He turned to me and God, that smile of him is the most mesmerizing smile I had ever see (exclude my parents though). I almost tripped over a stone because of that but luck is on my side today and I manage to collect my composure back before I humiliated myself even more and lose my dignity .

"And why that? " My voice crack at the end and I cringe at that.

Now, I'm a frog. Great.

"Well, your name has Nur in it so I've done some research and found out that it means light . So, Hikari that is. "

"That's so-"

"Lame? I know. I want to give you something  cooler but only that comes to mind," he scratches his cheek when he said that. A habit that I come to learn he will do when he is nervous.

"-thoughtful of you actually." I finish my sentence and I can see how his eyes widen at my words.

"To search the meaning behind my name."

He remains quiet so I took it as a signal to go on.

"Awwww, that's so sweet of you. I think might get  diabetes, " I cooe at him. Seeing how the tips of his ears reddened makes me excited to tease him but remembering how big a guy's ego can be, I stop.

"The things I do for you, " he mumbles under his breath but I can hear them loud and clear beause of our quiet surrounding.

"Eh? " My voice was mixed between suprised, embarrassed, happy, teasing, confused and scared.

You wondered how that sound?

You might as well figured it out yourself when your not-so crush for one year almost half not-so confessed at you!

And it makes you sound like a mice.

He lifts his eyes and shifts them to mine.

"I like you. "

°• Finally, some romance to spice things up. I actually quite enjoy writing this xD. Does it sweet or you cringe at it?  Me, both. This is one of my ideal confession that I imagine in my head. It didn't have to be super romantic, I like it better when it's simple but sweet and memorable.  *blushing*

Ehem, okay that's it from me. Enjoy~
