i turned to you | kotomi + makoto
[✄] -- Perhaps going here wasn't a good idea. She should have seen this coming after all. After anxiously looking around the butler cafe for probably the fifteenth time by now, Kotomi gazed down at her watch and swallowed the heavy lump that was forming in her throat. She had been waiting for over two hours now and yet the person she had been expecting to meet was still nowhere to be seen.
The young girl pursed her lips as she unfolded the note in her hand again, recalling how she found it in her locker earlier that morning.
Kotomi Ichinose, I really like you. Please meet me at Cafe Soleil after school.
Considering her fear of people, Kotomi would have decided not to go to the meeting place but after hours of hesitance, she realized that this was possibly a chance for her to finally find her confidence and talk to someone without cowering away. But as she thought about it more now, she ended up with a conclusion that a prank was pulled on her. She had been staring at the half-finished cup of tea on her table and she could tell that the waiters were now wondering if she was ever going to leave. She couldn't blame them seeing as how she continued to ignore them whenever they would offer other treats or more tea to her.
As much as she knew that the note was clearly a prank, there was still a part of her that hoped that it was real. A chance of finally making friends was something she couldn't pass up in spite of the fact that she was starting to look like an idiot.
