Chapter 9
Memory Lane: Maybe It's Better“You want to go on a date? With me?”
I am in total disbelief.
“Yes! Of course I do, I wouldn’t ask you if I didn’t silly.” Sana laughs
“Sana you could probably get whoever you wanted out of the whole school. Why me?”
“Tzuyu do I really have to spell it out for you? The one that I want out of the entire school is you.” She gets up and grabs my face with both hands, “Believe it or not Tzuyu I find you really beautiful, both inside and out, and I want you more than anything else.”
Sana puts her face directly in front of mine and before I know it she’s staring right into my eyes, and I have no idea what to do. This whole thing just caught me off guard, and now I can’t think straight.
“But of course, this date won’t happen unless I pass my algebra test right?” She lets go of my face, and sits back down.
“Umm yeah…right.”
“I wouldn’t want all of your hard work trying to teach me to go to waste. If I don’t pass my test, I don’t think I’d ever be able to face you again, especially after you’ve helped me so much.”
Everything Sana says at this point goes in one ear and out the other. I can’t get over that fact that Sana…Sana likes me. She said so in her own words, coming from her own mouth. Maybe after getting rejected by Chaeyoung I thought it wasn’t possible for anyone to like me at all, romantically anyway. Yet, here we are.
“Sana?”
“Hmm, yes Tzuyu?”
“What exactly do you like about me?”
“Well, I like your kindness, for example you’ve never once accepted my money for these lessons no matter how many times I offered. You’re very patient, like when dealing with all my random questions and going off topic while studying. Most people get annoyed and stop trying, but not you, you kept helping me. Also, it helps that you’re absolutely gorgeous.” I think my heart skips a beat after hearing her words.
“Oh I see, thank you.”
“Hey, Tzuyu.”
“Yeah?”
“You don’t have to tell me you like me back if you don’t, because I know you don’t.”
“What? What makes you say that?”
It’s like she read my mind, but at the same time, I’m not really sure how I feel right now.
“I can see it in your face. You haven’t smiled once since I told you I liked you, but it’s ok. I’m going to ace this test, and make you go on that date with me. I’ll make you fall in love with me Chou Tzuyu, you’ll see.” Sana winks at me and goes back to working on the equations I gave her.
“Well in order to do that, you’d have to actually do these practice equations properly. Here this one is all wrong.” I laugh.
“Hey look, finally a smile.”
“Shut up and focus Sana.”
After we finish studying I wish Sana good luck on her test, and head home. I lie down on my bed and keep going over what happened today. I have no idea how to react to this situation. So I do what I always do when I’m stuck on something. I text Dahyun.
“Hey Dahyun, I need to tell you something, message me back ASAP.”
I wonder what her reaction is going to be to Sana telling me she likes me. She wouldn’t be jealous right? After all she did say I should put the moves on Sana before, although it ended up being the other way around.
Bzz~
“Hey Tzuyu! What’s up?”
Here goes nothing.
“Sana told me that she likes me.”
Bzz~
“WHAT? DID YOU ACTUALLY PUT THE MOVES ON HER? TZUYU YOU SLY-“
“NO I DIDN’T! I had no idea that she felt this way about me. Dahyun I don’t know what to do.”
Bzz~
“Tzuyu it’s pretty simple really, do you like Sana or not?”
I sit and think about that question. Do I like Sana? I told Dahyun before that I didn’t think of Sana that way, before I started
