"Otonashi-san"

"How about we go get something good to eat tomorrow after work? My treat."

I mean, what's with that all of a sudden!?

He's been unusually nice lately... is it because of my birthday? But would he normally pay attention to a clerk's birthday?

He not only remembered the date but also asked for just the two of us to go eat...! Ehh... ah, wait, he didn't say "the two of us", and I don't know whether he only invited me because it's my birthday or what...

I suppose coincidences do happen... yeah, that seems to be more like him.

Still, to be told on my birthday by the guy I like that he'll take me out to eat makes me incredibly happy! Whoa, am I gonna die? Incoming death! ...Wait, so what should I wear tomorrow anyway!?

I definitely don't want to try too hard and have him freak out, but my usual clothes aren't exciting at all, and I want to avoid my clerk outfit... ahhh, why did he have to tell me today!? If he had told me earlier, I could have prepared a lot better, that stupid, insensitive, stupid...
