You are both in the school hallway. “Please go to prom with me.. please, please, please..” the poor Kotaro Bokuto begs you, with his arms wrapped around your hips, leaning against you. His legs drag on the floor as you try to get away from him, his cheek squishing against your bum. That makes you very uncomfortable, but you don't know what to do to get him off.
He’s grimacing, with his eyes closed, his arms not letting go of you. He seems to be ready to cry if you reject him again.
Kotaro has liked you ever since you approached him during one of his matches to congratulate him on his great work. You, a gorgeous girl, gave him compliments and were willing to hear him ramble about volleyball. Not even his own volleyball teammates wanted to hear his rambling, but you did, and you were just a simple classmate. As a simple man, that made him fall completely head over heels in love with you.
But he couldn’t accept that you didn’t like him back. You considered him as just a friend, an acquaintance, and you always told him to his face that you weren’t interested every time he asked you out or confessed how much he loved you. He was determined to make you his first girlfriend, even when his friends didn’t give him the encouragement he needed.
Since you're both third-years in high school, your graduation party is coming soon. He really wants you to go with him, even though you have no reason to. You haven't even bought a pretty dress to wear yet; the party is tomorrow night, on a Saturday, but he keeps begging you to go with him. “Please, please! All my friends have dates already, except me! Please be my date! Please, please, pretty please! I love you!”
