„What happened?", asked me Sayaka in the morning.
I looked at her, but no words were coming out.
(What shall I tell her? That I started to date our boss? That we go on our very first date this afternoon. And that it was me, who suggested it? Even thought it was by mistake... I can't tell her anything like that.)
„I am fine."
„You don't look fine at all."
I need to focus on my work and so I slapped my face twice with both hands and looked back to documents.
„You will be alright.", added Sayaka suddenly.
„Mmm."
Later I moved to the second floor, but Tomoka wasn't present there.
„She had to leave to arrange something and left you a message on her table."
„Oh... okay, thanks."
I entered her room and noticed a small piece of paper placed on the empty desk.
„(Wait for me at home, I will pick you up at 17:00)"
Heat spread through my whole body when I imagined myself and Tomoka walking hand in hand through the streets of Tokyo.
(What will people say? What if anyone recognize me?)
I had to sit down.
I don't know how long I was sitting there, but suddenly Hakuto appeared in the room and placed his right hand on my shoulder.
„Are you alright, Arisa?"
I looked at him and then at his hand and realized, that I don't feel anything. A boy touched my shoulder and I felt nothing.
(What if it is Tomoka standing here and touching me like him?)
I started to feel the heat again.
„I am fine. Please leave me. I need to stay here for a bit more."
„Ah, sure."
He left the room and I was there again alone.
(What is happening to me?)
After work, I arrived home on bus, took a shower and tried to find suitable clothes.
