"What?! You were invited to somethin-- ffghh?!?" I covered President's mouth with both hands.

"Y-Yeah.. and I don't want anyone else to know.." I replied, quietly lowering my head.

"B-By whom??" She removed my hand, still having a surprised look.

"Eh.. by.. my friend.." I scratched my cheek with a finger,

my eyes were roaming around the room.

It's not that I don't want to tell her who it is but..

..I just don't know the boy's name yet.

"Really now?" She gave me a smirk. "Is it a boy?"

"Y-Yeah.." I nervously looked up to her.

"Ooh!" She clasped her hands. "I'm so happy for you, Shizu-chaan~!"

She held both my hands with a huge smile.

"Do you have a kimono prepared?" She gave me a cat smile.

"No.. I don't usually attend those kinds of festivals.." I replied, nervously.

"Well, let's go shopping after school!" She waved my hands.

S-Shopping?!

It's been a long time ever since I shopped with someone.

Usually I'll just stay home..

The last time I went shopping with someone was years back.

And that was with my mom.

But, this is different..

..it's with a fellow classmate! 

"Y-Yeah, let's!" I gave her a grin.

"Awh! You're so cute when you smile like that!" She huggled me, and buried my face on her chest.

Mmnff!!

C-Can't breathe!

"W-What are you two doing??" I moved my face sideways, to see the other person.

"Nothing in particular." President let go of me and I breathed heavily.

It was the boy!!
