I felt blood coming up to my cheeks as possibilities came to my head. I’ve read about situations like this in books. An invitation to dinner made by one or both of the characters … sometimes they would make the dinner together … By book logic that’s definetly a date, however, Hanako only explained how love in books is different so I don’t know if this would count as a date … Just to be sure I’m gonna assume it’s not. If I assume it is and it’s not, I might seem creepy and moving too fast, while the other way I would just seem innocent and no doubt the confusion would make Hanako laugh, and I have more chances if I don’t act based on what I feel this soon. Realizing I have nothing to lose if I say “Why not do this tonight after classes?” because if I assume it’s not a date and act as if it’s not one, it might just be some fun time with a friend and honestly, I don’t think I need any preparation to just hang out with her … so that’s what I do … that’s what I ask.
