amaya's point of view
tobio and i stand outside of my dark, empty house after he walked me home.
"thanks for walking me home, you didn't have to do that!" i smile, he shakes his head softly.
"i wanted to," he says, and i feel my face heat up.
"o-okay, well, be safe okay? and let me know when you get home," i say, concerned. the sun is setting and i feel guilty that he came all the way here to walk me home and now he has to walk home alone in in the darkness.
"i'll be fine, amaya. it's only about a 5 minute walk i think," he chuckles, patting my head, before turning away.
huh? he lives close?
"oh- and tobio?" i call, as he turns back to me.
"t-thank you for listening to me and helping me through all my, uh, stuff today. i don't think i could have gotten through it all w-without you. that means a lot, truly. so uh- thank you," i stutter over my words, a little embarrassed.
he smiles that smile i've only ever seen a few other times, before gently pulling me into hug. my eyes widen.
it takes me a little bit to register what's happening, before i wrap my arms around him too. my heart beats out of control as he whispers in my ear, "anytime, amaya."
and with that, he lets me go and turns away to go home.
"g-goodnight tobio," i quietly say, but i don't think he hears it. i watch his retreating figure before stumbling inside my house and falling back against the door.
what the hell just happened? what is wrong with me? why do i feel like this? is my heartbeat ever gonna slow?
i slide all the way to the floor, getting lost in my thoughts and replaying the recent events over and over in my head.
eventually i'm calmed down enough to stand up, and i grab a snack before making my way to my room. i collapse onto my bed, checking my phone.

I KNOWWWWWW ugh he's so FINE god help me this wasn't supposed to happen😃
so what are you gonna do about it ASK HIM OUT? PLEASE DO IT
NOOOO NO NO ITS TOO SCARY
girl i just know that boy likes you back
BUT WHAT IF HE DOESNT
but what if he DOES 😏
STOPPP I DONT WANT TO THINK ABOUT IT ANYMORE anyways HOW WAS UR FIRST VB PRACTICE & what did u do after practice since u were too busy to hang out with us 🙄
omg- the 3rd year manager kiyoko is SO NICE and the team too BUT i'm LITERALLY STILL SO WORKED UO ABOUT THIS LET ME TELL YOU SO- i wanted to go check the bulletins at the ice rink after practice for any competitions i could enter and so that's why i declined shoyo's offer to hang out with you guys BUT tobio said he didn't want to third wheel and i asked if he wanted to come with me to the rink. and so we went there and i taught him how to skate and he convinced me to sign up for the national qualifying competition BUT after that he walked me home and we were standing on my front porch and i thanked him for helping me today with my anxiety about being a manager and signing up for the competition AND OMG HE. HUGGED. ME. AND MY HEART IS STILL RACING
GIRL YAYYYY YOU LIKE HIM YESSS THIS IS SO GOOD
I WHAT NOW 😃
you LIKE him 😋 i see the way you look at him it was only a matter of time
NO THIS IS NOT GOOD I DIDNT WANT THIS TO HAPPEN
WHAT? why the hell not? it's obvious he feels the same
keiko he's such a good friend to me though and i haven't known him for that long but he's already helped me so much and i don't want things to get complicated because if we were to date then if things didn't work out he wouldn't be my boyfriend OR my friend after that and he's really special to me UGH what do i do
awe bby i'm sorry i see how much he means to you and i wish i could help you but you know i've never had a boyfriend either so i don't have much experience in this department i see how happy he makes you and you guys would be perfect together but i see what you mean
AND now i'm involved with this volleyball thing so if we date and break up then it would be double awkward because i wouldn't be able to avoid him
ohhh yeah you're right bae i wish i could help you and from what sho's told me tobio doesn't talk to anyone as much as he talks to you i think that if you wanted to, you could be with him
AND THAT DOESNT HELP EITHER it would be better if he doesn't feel the same. then i would have no option but to be his friend
awe i know babe i'm sorry wanna hang out tomorrow? just us girls? pizza and minecraft vids?
