Yori <3 has sent a message to the group chat: 'I think I've made a terrible mistake. Anyone up for clubbing tonight? I'd like to dance my troubles away.'

(Kae)ndofgay has sent a message to the group chat: 'biiiiitcchhhh you got to tell us what happened!!! Also, clubbing? Sign me the fuck up!"

I wake up to these terrible profane messages that aren't meant to be received by an "innocent high schooler" such as myself. Even worse, Akiyoshi almost saw them...

He woke before me and was about to look at my phone as it buzzed with messages. Good thing his shoulder moved and let my head, and body fall over to the rest of the couch.

He left for work and here I was, reading over the new day and the news that Yori has for us.

Also, I don't like clubbing, I like a good drink though.

Me: 'In case you guys forgot, I kinda have a curfew...remember... brother thinks i'm high school boy...'

I decide to call Yori up to find out what was up with her since I probably, most likely, won't be going to the club. I went once, and got hit on by a straight girl. It did not end well.

The phone dials as I bring it up to my ear, and after a couple of rings, I hear Yori's panicky whisper speak. "Yo...um give me a sec I'm at work right now, I just gotta escape to the roof so hold on-"

I look at my phone to check the time and gasp. It wasn't her lunch break time, but at least I didn't catch her at a meeting or something.

"Ok- I'm back but hold on- I need to catch my breath...- from climbing the stairs...-"

"Same." I nod and wait for her to talk.

"I-I...." She mumbles her voice cracking a little.

"What- what is it? Are you crying??"

"N-no...I-I..."

"Yes? 'I' what?" I insist upon her answer.

"I'm on the roof right now...and I-" I hear her sigh in preparation through my phone. "I think..I might have had a one night stand...and..."

"Holy shit...and?" I peg her for more information.

"And....I don't know his name...or his number...or his face."

----------------------------------------------------

Two hours later at lunch time, I run out of the house to meet to Yori.

When I get there I'm completely out of breath. I try not to pass out as I spot Yori sitting at the corner of the cafe, looking sulky as fuck.

"Yori, I'm here now." I take a seat, still wheezing from my walk.

"Makoto... thanks for meeting me out here..." She smiles weakly as she pushes my glass of juice towards me. "I ordered you some tea because... I'm about to spill mine.

"Oh shit...Anyways...I just want to know how this happened? Because I've got to say I didn't

"Well bitch i'm surprised too...I didn't know I get freaky when I get drunk...I've never even been drunk before!" She slams her head on the table. Long black strands of her curly dark hair fall over her shoulders.

Yori can get guys. She's pretty, smart and she's fun, but I never thought that one night stands actually existed. I've been living a sheltered life!

"Okay.. well first of all... the logical thing to do is figure out who it is...and if you can't figure it out right away you should probably get tested?" I think back to sex ed. I wouldn't want one of my best friends to have an STD.

Yori sighs and sits up in her seat. "You're right...I should be thinking logically right now..."

"How did it even happen though? You never get that intoxicated." I take a sip from my tea and pay attention to what she is about to say next.

"Well... my coworkers and I went out for drinks because it was my first day and all... They went off to another bar...I stayed behind in that one...even though it was a party for me.." She pauses making a confused face before moving on. "Anyways...I stayed behind to celebrate by myself and before I knew it she was going blurry...?"

"That's it?" My brows lift in surprise. I guess she really did forget everything.

"Yeah..that's all that I-" She paused mid sentence as she made a weird face before it turned pink with embarrassment.

"What?" I slam my hand on the table, trying to get more information. Maybe she did remember!

"...I just remembered the things...the details...of what we did...but I can't put a face on him..." She looks down, flustered.

"Oh man...you poor baby." Now it was my turn to comfort her. Which was really weird. Yori was usually like the mom of our group and it felt strange to look after her.

I patted her back as she pouted in her seat. Suddenly, she jumps up in her seat. "That's right! I just remembered!"

Did she remember who it was?

I sat back up excitedly with her before she says...

"I have a new neighbor! He's really weird.. but nonetheless I finally have company!"

"Well at least one good thing has happened." I shrug in disappointment. "Speaking about weird things...Akiyoshi found out that I'm afraid of lightning so...that's fun."

"What the fuck? Seriously? Oh man." Yori was the only other person that knew about my fear for thunder and lightning. It's pretty bad for someone to find out. It's mortifying.

We stay quiet for a moment before Yori sighs again, and then perks up. "What's done is done. We have to move on! Think about it... this one night stand can help me write my book I'm working on, and you got closer to your brother...he didn't laugh did he?"

"...no.." I answer.

"Good!" She nods.

---------------------------

I get home from being out with Yori when she let's me know tat she got a text from the guy she was with. The sender hadn't left his name though.

She couldn't just ask him...that would be kind of awkward.

I pictured it for a moment.

'...new phone who this?'

Okay no.

I looked down at my phone to kill time before I began making dinner. The only thing I knew how to make so far was curry...so I only cooked once a week so things wouldn't get too repetitive.

When my screen turns on I notice the date..June 4th.

June 4th...I feel as if I'm forgetting something important...

I shrug and put my phone down on my bed before going downstairs to start dinner.

Little did I know that my phone was on silent.

And my mom had called.
