The morning sun rays drifted across my room as they pulled me away from my dreamland. I looked left and right and then after ascertaining my location, got up from my bed. I really reluctant to because I knew that the event today had nothing to do with me.

After tidying up my bedding sheets, I proceeded down the stairs and then descended into the dining table. What greeted me there was my little brother, chewing down some chocolate wafers for breakfast.

I sat in my seat and then looked at the table in front of me. Hot milk and wafers was also present in front of me and my stomach was already aching to eat. While munching to my breakfast, I listened to my little brothers rambling and was reminded on what I needed to do today.

I scurried after my phone when breakfast was finished, and confirmed that I wasn’t just thinking of things. It was definitely marked as February 14, 2017... Exactly the day of Valentines.

Growing much more languid than earlier, I have already reached the toilet and have finished washing up. Dressing up in the color of white, I went out of the house after retrieving my school bag.

The distance between our house and the school was not that far away and it only took me a five minute walk. After arriving in the school, my seatmate named Mark already greeted me and bombarded me with questions about a certain game we play.

After settling down and checking if I was in cleaning duty or not, I took out my phone and Mark did the same. We had already planned to play Monster Hunter Portable Unite using PPSSPP all day. For the both of us were wearing white.

The next to greet me was another seatmate of mine, on the left side, namely Win. He was a rather fat fellow and you would expect that this guy would not have a love life. Wearing a shirt with the color of pink, he was clearly screaming that he is currently ‘In Love’.

This was a certain color coding the Supreme Student Government (SSG) had invented for this day, as there will be a program and no classes would be conducted today. Although there was no classes, attending was still mandatory.

Although I am a part of the SSG, I had nothing to do with events just like this. Maybe I will just serve as a facilitator and that will be actually be the most fortunate fate for me who is wearing white, signifying that I am ‘Single’.

I am actually wearing this color because I have no idea how I really feel. I keep denying things and my mind would not really accept anything my heart would say. Well, this was how I always reigned over my class anyway as the top student.

Shortly after 15 minutes, all students were asked to go to the covered court. As I guessed, there really was an event.

And like I guessed, I, the Vice President of SSG, am only going to serve as a facilitator. Partnering with me is a fellow student of mine from my section, the Treasurer, Mae.

She was wearing pink like Win and although colors could not be trusted, the human mind will still subconsciously believe them to be true. Mae also seems to have noticed my clothes her expression... didn’t change one bit.

Meh. I don’t really care... lies. Of course I care...

After the event was over, which was at the afternoon, the SSG were asked to stay back. We cleaned up and then stored things that were used during the program.

I was walking back and forth carrying microphones or stereos. Watching those couples enjoying themselves really didn’t make me any uncomfortable but what really made me depressed were... those guys who were like me.

Seating in the corners of the hall, men and women wearing white were exuding an extremely depressed atmosphere. When I looked at them during the program, I kind of... Kind of... felt sad. I know that those guys could possibly hate this day because the fact that they were single were almost glowing in neon lights during that event.

There were also guys who wore white but everybody knows who is in a relationship. Wearing red means that you are in a relationship. By wearing white, they were mocking our group.

After tidying up, we were finally allowed to go home. All of my friends were already home during this hour so I walked home... alone.

After passing through the gate, I saw Mae buying herself a soda at a nearby store. She saw me and then approached while smiling.

She asked if it was okay for her to walk with me. Seeing as their was no problem to walking with a beautiful girl while going home, I agreed.

When we walked, it definitely wasn’t awkward. I was able to talk about things and occupy her attention all throughout the walk.

After reaching the gates of my house, which is closer to the school, I turned to her and then said my goodbyes. When I was about to turn my back and enter, I felt a slight tug on my clothes.

I turned to her again and then something was shoved into my chest. It was actually a small box designed with a small red ribbon. Don’t ask what is inside of it. I know that it’s chocolate.

When I saw the box, I was stunned and stared hard at Mae who was smiling while blushing. She then ran away as fast as she can and then disappeared in a nearby curve.

Looking at the box which I knew that was full of chocolate, I couldn’t help but shake my head in dismay. I was awfully too familiar with this box and this made my mind snap open.

“Ah... What a wonderful dream you have here... Raizer... What a wonderful dream.”

Di! Di! Di!

I have already reached the toilet and have finished washing up. Dressing up in the color of white, I went out of the house after retrieving my school bag.

Just before leaving, I returned towards my room and towards my desk. I then unlocked the upper drawer and what greeted my eyesight was a small box designed with a small red ribbon.

Taking the ribbon out, I then placed it into my bag and then a smile slowly formed in my face.

“Hee... Wish me luck.”

- Stop dreaming and work your ass off! It pays out in the end, trust me. -
