-DON QUIXOTE, TOKYO, JAPAN-
-3:35PM SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 19, 2016-
As Leah was standing in the corner of Don Quixote mall, she looked at her watch.
She thought to herself "I arrived two hours and twenty five minutes earlier. I have to wait."
As she fixed her hair, she smiled and blushed. She thought to herself "I wonder what he'll say when he see me in this outfit. 'That suits you very well,' or 'That realy looks good on you,' or 'You look so cute!' Ahhh! I can't wait!"
A few moments later, as she stood there, three perverted adult cornered her.
"What's up, miss?" one of them asked.
"Are you waiting for someone?" another one of them asked.
"You look so hot, you know?" another one of them said.
As they creepily smiled at Leah, she was terrified as she's trembling.
She replied "S-s-sorry! I'm waiting for my friends!"
"Come on! Come with us! We'll make sure that we'll have fun!" said one of them.
"I said no, sorry!" said Leah.
"You don't want us to force you to come with us, right?" one of them asked.
"Yeah, if you don't want that, just do it voluntarily!" one of them added.
Leah trembled to shout as she cried "He...h-help me! Someone's harrassing me!"
Her shout caught everyone's attention, making everyone in the crowd talk about those men.
The three men was nervous when Leah shouted.
One of them said "Hey, quiet! Everyone hears you!"
Leah once again shouted "Please, someone help me!"
Finally, policemen heard her shout. One of them shouted "Freeze! Hands up where I can see them!"
"You're gonna regret this!" the three men shouted.
"Shut up!" the police yelled as policemen arrested the three.
One of the police asked "Are you okay, ma'am? Are you hurt?"
"Thankfully, no." Leah replied as she wiped her tears.
"Good to know. Have a nice day." said the police as she walked away.
Leah replied "You too, ma'am."
Out of nowhere, someone asked Leah "Are you okay, Boutsuki-san?"
Leah looked at that someone and she realized that it's Rika.
Rika added "I saw everything that happened. But I can't intervene because of the policemen and the crowd."
Leah thought to herself "She's so fashionable! And her body's so perfect! I'm so jealous. She might get Daikuhara-san before I do if this is the case."
"Yes, I'm okay now. But I'm so terrified earlier. Thank you for your concern though!" said Leah.
"Where are you heading anyways?" Rika asked.
"I'm waiting for our classmates. We're supposed to meet up at exactly 6:00PM; I arrived too early. We're gonna go shopping here at Don Quixote and watch a movie when it's midnight. I don't know where though" Leah replied.
"I see. You wanna seat down over there and have a chat while you wait?" Rika asked as she pointed to a bench
"Yeah, sure." said Leah and then she thought to herself "She's so calm. Please don't get attracted to her, Daikuhara-san!"
As they sat down at a bench, Leah looked at Rika and thought to herself "She really is beautiful. I get it now why Sakamoto-san is so in love with her back then."
Rika looked at Leah and asked "Is something wrong, Boutsuki-san?"
"N-no! I-I just think that... you look good." said Leah.
Rika calmly smiled and replied "Thank you, Boutsuki-san. You too!"
Leah blushed and said "Thank you..."
"By the way, what do you wanna chat about?" Leah asked as she once again looked at Rika.
Rika replied "I don't kno..." and then she paused. Rika thought to herself "Wait, I can use this as an opportunity!"
Rika added "About someone I like." and then smiled.
"Someone you like? Isn't it too personal of a topic?" Leah asked and then she thought to herself "Is she talking about Daikuhara-san?"
"It doesn't matter. We're friends." said Rika.
"That's right. We've known each other for quite a long time now. We always meet at manga clubs since middle school. I guess we're friends." said Leah and then she replied "Sure, tell me about it."
Rika began speaking "You see, I'm pretty sure you already know him. A few months ago, I was bullied along with my sister and Utsumi-chan. They bullied us so bad and even harmed us. Until a man stopped them and protected the three of us. Ever since, I started to like him. Do you know who he is?"
"I already know!" Leah thought to herself. She said "Let me guess. Is it Sakamoto-san?" Leah replied.
"No. It's actually Daikuhara-san." said Rika and then she thought to herself "This way, you'll have a lower chance of confessing to him now. Since you think that one of your friend likes who you also like."
Leah asked "M-may I ask what else do you like about him?
Rika replied "Uhm... he just walked out of some perfect dream, I don't know how else to describe it. He's so attractive! But it's not just his looks—which I also find perfect. Warm, tall eyes, and that quiet smile of him comforts me. When he picks up a guitar, or sit at a piano, and somehow the world feels softer. He's not playing notes—he's telling stories, and I just feel like I could listen to his music forever. But it's not what he does, it's what he is, that gets me most. He's effortlessly a gentleman. Not flashy or trying to impress anyone—he just likes to help people. He holds the door, he knows when someone's feeling off, he always asks his friends 'Are you okay?' There's this purity to him, his calm, his goodness and kindness that you see so rarely. He's also smart—like, genuinely thoughtful. He speaks about music as though it is alive, as though it breathes, and when he describes things, you want to grasp them simply so you can look at the world through his eyes. That's what makes him an artist himself—he's so good at expressions. And what really attracts me? He has no idea how incredible he is. He is so modest and that makes me crazy. Promise, I sometimes think that if I ever could be his girlfriend, I'd need nothing else. I just like him so much! I love him more than anyone else does and I know that for a fact."
