will be there, including Shinichi. Aproppo Shinichi, you can call him right away and ask if he would like to come over. And maybe you can confess your feelings to him. "....." Well, I'll call him, but only about the party, because I don't want him to know about my feelings for the time being, because I don't want to destroy our good friendship. "..." Yes yes do that, well I have to. Farewell! "Said goodbye to Sonoko. Ran put the phone down and paused for a moment. What should she tell him if he picks it up? It has never been so difficult for her to call Shinichi, but she was looking forward to hearing his voice a little .

At Shinichi's house the doorbell rang recently and Akiko was standing there. She asked him to help her with her homework (* Yes, whoever thinks! *). Shinichi had nothing in mind anyway and asked them in. This disappeared briefly to the toilet and Akiko began to look around a little. Until suddenly the phone rings. Of course she insisted and picked up "Hello here at Shinichi." Said Akiko ....... "um this is Ran ....." "Oh hello Ran!" she was interrupted by Akiko ..... "What is it? So Shinichi is on the toilet right now, so if you want something you have to talk to me! Oh yes, tell me you're his best friend, wasn't it?". ..... "uh .. yes ... why?" asked the completely perplexed and confused Ran. "Well, so what does Shinichi like? I mean what type of girl is he into ?! Actually, it doesn't matter, because don't you think that I'm pretty pretty and that he likes me?" Ran could barely contain himself, she noticed how her tears came from anger and sadness."Please tell Shinichi that I called and that there will be a party at Sonoko's on the weekend with company." Akiko only heard a beep, because Ran had hung up. "Well that's weird!" she muttered. When Shinichi came back, she pretended that nothing had happened. "You Shinichi, wouldn't you like to go to a party with me?" ...... "So actually I don't think very much of it." ..... "Oh come on, it will be great, it is at Sonoko, on the weekend. So? "...." At Sonoko you say? .... mmmmhhhh then Ran would have to go too! " Shinichi said .... "Oh, who cares, Ran, she's going there with someone else anyway, he's supposed to be a bit older." She lied to him cheekily. 'What?! Ran has a date, maybe a friend? ' he shouted inwardly. It suddenly hurt so much. His heart only felt pain, it tightened his chest. He sat down on the couch, completely beside him. What was the matter with him? He had never felt such a sting before!"Hey Shinichi, what are we going to do now?" ........ "Yes, yes. Can you please go now, I want to be alone because I am already quite tired!" he said to get rid of her. "Well, honey (* aaahhh there she calls him that again! *) If you want it! See you tomorrow! Bye!" She wanted to give him another kiss, but just slammed the door in front of her nose. He went to his room and lay down on his bed. He just wanted to nod a little, but all he could think of was Ran. Why is she going to a party with an older man? Otherwise she doesn't like parties! He no longer understood the world. At least that it hurt to hear something like that. Little by little it also became clear to him that he was in love with Ran and that he didn't want to lose her. He changed and went to sleep. Even Ran, who was totally on the floor from the phone call, changed clothes and cried himself to sleep. What is supposed to happen?

The week passed quickly and the weekend the party took place came.Ran had already noticed that Shinichi was going with Akiko and was now completely convinced that Akiko was in love with Akiko. Sonoko tried to cheer Ran up and had the idea to make him jealous, but she didn't like that. But as we know Sonoko, she had already prepared something. Now the evening had come. Ran was at Sonoko's two hours before the party started to help her prepare. When they had done everything, there was still enough time to get ready. "Oh Sonoko, I don't really want to see Shinichi today. He's only going to do something with Akiko!" ..... "You read that was my concern!" Sonoko replied with a wicked smile. "What are you going to do again ?! That can't go well!" said Ran somewhat skeptically. "Wait!" and then the doorbell rang. Half an hour later, all the guests were there. Also Shinichi and Akiko. Of course Ran tried to get out of the way of the two of them all evening, but that didn't always work.Akiko had clung to Shinichi's arm so that he couldn't get rid of her. Everyone at the party started whispering whether Shinichi and Akiko would be a couple. Everyone found this a very interesting subject, except for Shinichi and Ran. When she just wanted to get some fresh air, Akiko and Shinichi came towards her. Since Akiko started class, Ran had hardly exchanged a word with Shinichi and they seemed somehow to be strangers ..... "Hello you two, ... are you having fun?" Ran tortured himself from one. "Of course we have, you can see and now excuse us!" gave Akiko the best. Shinichi wasn't having fun at all, on the contrary, he was bored with Akiko and her superficialities. He would much rather be with Ran and tell her how much he loved her. But he couldn't get a word out, his cheeks flushed at the sight of Ran's beauty. She looked gorgeous too, how she had her hair and what she was wearing.He had to smile. Shinichi was about to say something when Akiko tore him away and went back to the party with him. Ran lowered her head and went to the porch. She was outside alone and so she surrendered to her feelings and cried softly. Sonoko had noticed this and could no longer watch. She took advantage of a favorable moment when Akiko was standing alone (* Shinichi had to bring her a punch *) and asked her to come along briefly. "Hey Akiko, I have to tell you something, it's about Shinichi!" ...... "Really? What's the matter with my darling?" .... "So he asked me to tell you that he was great finds and that he is waiting there in this room to confess something important to you! "......" Oh my God, he loves me too! ... um ... where is my lover waiting for me again? " ....... "Come on, I'll show you!" both walked down the hall until they were in front of the door. "So in here, yes?" ...... "Exactly when I tell you!" replied Sonoko. Akiko opened the door and took a step inside. "It's dark here, are you sure he's waiting for me here!" asked the somewhat suspicious Akiko."Definitely not! Unfortunately, he is prevented!" With these words Sonoko gave her a powerful kick and pushed her into the chamber. She took the key and locked it. "That way we would have solved the problem!" Sonoko was happy rubbing her hands. Now it was still a matter of leading Ran and Shinichi to their happiness. "Hi Shinichi!" ..... "Hey Sonoko, how are you?" ....... "It's not that important now. Will you do me a favor and please go out to the verander?" ..... .. "Why? I have to give this to Akiko or she'll get angry!" ....... "Don't worry about her, she is busy at the moment!" ....... "Well nice, but I don't see what it means to approach a Verander! " the confused Shinichi set off. "Just trust me okay?" she called after him. Unsuspecting, he went on the veranda. Suddenly he stopped and swallowed. There she was, his dream woman, what should he do? He took a deep breath and walked over to her. "Hello Ran!" he began in his usual cool voice.After all, he didn't want her to notice how nervous he is. But only when he stood next to her did he see that she was crying. Ran didn't want Shinichi to see her like that, so she turned away and quickly wiped away her tears. "Oh hello Shinichi, where is Akiko?" .... "Oh, she annoys me totally and Sonoko said she is busy at the moment, thank God. Where is your company, I heard he should be a little more mature than other guys. ". Ran looked at him totally puzzled. "How beautiful her eyes are," it crosses his mind. "What do you mean by my companion, I don't have any and why do you claim that Akiko annoys you? I thought you were together ?!" .............. "Nonsense, I don't even like her as a good friend. I just wanted to be nice because she doesn't know anyone. But now I don't feel like it anymore, because she is too superficial and blasphemes a lot about others. Unfortunately, she doesn't leave me alone anymore! Well Akiko told me, that you go here with an older man."...... "What a crap! Didn't she tell you I called? I wanted to ask you if you ...... um ..... well ..... maybe you would go with me because we hadn't done so much together lately. "Ran noticed how she blushed and now lowered her head down to her chest." You said that we don't always have to do something together! "......" I only said that because Sonoko insisted that I was in love with you! "She burst out and immediately put her hand in front of her mouth." Um ...... just forget about that! I .... "....." Ran! "She was interrupted by Shinichi. He took a step towards her and took her hand." I have to tell you something Ran! "He took another step and stood her now very close opposite. "Listen to me! I don't care about Akiko! I don't care about any girl in this world, except for one girl and that's you! "......" Shinichi ... I ... "....." Don't say anything my angel, I know and I love you too! "With these words he lifted her chin and kissed her completely tenderly on her soft lips.Happy tears ran down their cheeks. The agony was finally over. Finally Ran didn't have to worry about Akiko anymore and Shinichi didn't have to experience any more sleepless nights either. When they broke up, they stood there for quite a while and just looked at each other. Sonoko, who had been listening in secret, also came to tears and began to sob. "Sonoko ?!" Shinichi and Ran shouted. "I'm sorry folks, but it was just too good as if I wanted to miss it!" said the exhausted Sonoko. "It's okay. Don't worry!" they reassured Sonoko. "Oh yes, what did you actually do with Akiko.?" ....... "Well, she's taken care of! I'll tell you she's pretty
