I was about to check the message, but----

*Riiing~*

"What?..", I answered.

"Hiii!!!"

"What do you want, Saki?"

"I just wondered if you guys were talking about your speech about---'love'~"

"..No.. We didn't even started discussing about it.."

"It is hard to understand love by talking~ You should learn it by living it~"

"It's hard for me since that time"

There was a silence for a moment..

"...It's also good to take a step to start again and risk your life for those you truly love.."

"..."

"And~"

"And..?"

"Nothing bad has happened to me, so don't worry"

"But---"

"Well! Let's stop talking about that and tell me what you have in mind"

"About what?"

"You should ask him for a date!"

"..."

"Oh, no! You shouldn't do that!"

"Of course! Now that you know! I don't even love---"

"He should ask you out!"

"........"

"What? So you think it's better you asked him out first?"

"I'm going to hang up"

"No! No! Noo!"

"Go straight to the point"

"You should fall in love~"

"Why?.."

"You can't always be tied by the chains of the past.. You should break through it!"

"What am I supposed to do?!"

"You have to defeat you fear.. Don't let it consume you.."

"..."

"Saki! Come down, help me with Nana!---I'm coming!!! Oh, sorry, my mom is calling me, I'm going to hang up!"

"W-wai----"

*hangs up*

*sigh*

"What was that..?", I said, "Now, what do I do?.."

I'm going to bath and later go to bed.. Too much thinking will make my mind explode..

Next day
At school

"What do we do about speech?", Saori asked.

"Not sure..", he said.

"Instead of only giving a speech, why don't we draw a poster or something to represent what is love..?", I gave my opinion.

"Not a bad idea", he said.

"But that's not the problem.. The real problem is what is love..!", Saori said.

"Then why didn't you choose another one?"

"Then what did you had in mind?", she asked me.

"Well.."
