Me and Hitomi go up to my room and she starts telling me her "advice" as she calls it.

"See, the problem is you're so shy. Girls like direct guys. You've gotta learn how to speak up or she'll never notice you romanticly. This is why she's always liked Ryu and not you. He's way more... Outspoken. " she said.

"Is this really supposed to make me feel better? "

"I'm not trying to make you feel better. I'm trying to get you to win over a girl. Two different things. "

"So I have to be more noticeable? "

"Exactly! "

"How? "

"That is the question... You're not really exciting... At all. "

"I'm boring?"

"Yep, pretty much. "

"So what do I do? "

"You do what anyone does in your situation. Fake it till you make it. "
