DO IT YOURSELF

The next few days were like agony for Ran. She only thought of Shinichi and Akemi. How could she have been so wrong?
She had also become noticeably quiet in the past few days. Sonoko regretted telling her friend this bad news for a long time.
But now she couldn't change anything so she decided to get advice from the others.
"... and then she ran away and since then she has hardly spoken any more. I should never have told her."
Sonoko was sitting in a cafe with Kazuha, Heiji and Aoko and told them about the whole thing.
"Oh what. Let her find out, that kudo is for a lousy pig." Kazuha now spoke up. Heiji gave his longtime best friend a wry look.
"How do you even know he's with this Akemi?"
He eyed the three girls with a superior look.
"Yeah, sure Heiji, they're just friends and they hold hands for fun."Kazuha replied angrily, regardless of his gaze.
"Friends can hold hands too. You see ..." He took Kazuha's hand and held it tight. Kazuha got a blush on her face while Sonoko and Aoko watched the scene with only a laugh.
Kazuha Heiji quickly withdrew her hand. She was still a little red in the face and tried to cover up her embarrassment.
“You may be like that, but normal people don't do that.” She emphasized the normal out loud. But Heiji could only grin crookedly. It was always funny how quickly Kazuha got angry.
“Hello guys!” Kaito just stepped up to the table and casually took a seat next to Aoko. He immediately noticed the tense situation and immediately asked:
"And what are you talking about?"
Kazuha had already opened his mouth to say something but Aoko had been faster:
"About Shinichi and that he's a mean idiot." she said
"What did kudo do to you?" Kaito asked in surprise."Oh, I don't want to explain that again. Aoko, would you be so kind?" asked sonoko while taking a sip of coffee.
Kazuha watched with astonishment how Aoko explained everything in three sentences, while Sonoko had needed 10 minutes before to finally get rid of everything.
"So that's it." said Kaito after Aoko's statement. "Well maybe they just kept chickens out of friendship? Besides, Shinichi and Ran aren't together, are they? He can do what he wants." Kaito regretted this sentence even before he had finished it, because Kazuha looked at and angrily Sonoko and Aoko didn't seem any less angry, while Heiji just grinned in amusement.
"Great. Another one. Well, I'm leaving now. You can't stand that in your head." commented Kazuha. In the meantime she had got up and walked quickly towards the exit. Before she left the cafe one could hear a "see you then", which was being followed by a "idiot like that".Heiji got up too, took his jacket, drained his coffee and mumbled a "women" before he ran after Kazuha.
"What was that now?" Kaito asked with a shrug.
Aoko could only roll his eyes and from Sonoko one could only hear "men".

The ringing of the phone broke the silence of the room. There were papers and pens of some kind on the desk and the furniture was covered in a thick layer of dust.
Shinichi was just entering the house. He quickly took off his jacket and dived for the phone. He was about to take off when he paused: What if this is Akemi again? Maybe I shouldn't answer it. But it could also be something important. So I'd rather risk it, "he thought, while he picked up the phone and said into the receiver:" Shinichi Kudo on the line. "
Shinichi gave a sigh followed by a roll of his eyes.
"Oh ..... hello Akemi." Although he seemed annoyed, he didn't let it show."Today? No, that won't work. Tomorrow either .... To be honest, I can't at all at the moment. Listen to Akemi, you are very nice but .... yes but ..... but .... OK see you then. ”He hung up and sighed.
"Oh man, I'll never get rid of them." he thought to himself. He put his hands in his trouser pockets and shuffled towards the desk. He was about to sit down when he noticed a picture. He picked it up carefully and ran his fingers over it. "Oh Ran ... I'll be back with you soon and then I can finally tell you."

"Ran, now open up!" Sonoko was at home with Ran, but Ran had locked himself in her room and just didn't open it.
"Ran now listen. I have an idea. You will simply pay him back. There is no point in moping up here." Sonoko hoped with this statement to lure Ran out of the room. Indeed, the door opened slowly and Ran's head peeked out. Sonoko now noticed that her friend looked bad.She must have been crying all day because her eyes were all red.
"What do you think?" Ran asked carefully.
"I mean you should go out with someone else too."
"But Sonoko ... you know that I only have him ....."
"Yes, I know, but you have to look for someone else. You can see he's not coming. Besides, he seems to love someone else."
Even if these words were very painful for Ran, Sonoko was right. She had to forget him.
"All right," she muttered.
Sonoko clapped his hands with a grin and pushed Ran into her room.

"Are you sure that it will work?"
Ran stood undecided in front of the phone, while Sonoko just nodded confidently.
"100 pro. I'd bet my head on that."
"All right .." Ran carefully dialed a number and nervously chewed her lower lip.
"Hello Ryo .. this is Ran..Jfa I'm fine and you? ... Which is why I called .. Actually, I wanted to tell you something. You wanted to go out with me last week ... Yes, exactly ... Well, I wanted to ask if your offer is still available ... Yes ... Very good ... See you then. "Ran hung up. Sonoko eyed her questioningly.
"He agreed. We're going out on Friday."
"Great and now we have to get you ready."
"What? It's only Wednesday.
Why do you want to start now? "
"You can never start early enough!" answered Sonko.
Ran seemed surprised but also sad.
"Don't worry, you won't regret it."
Ran just nodded and said: "I hope you are right."
