Chapter Text
__ /__ /____ ,
__ days until her leave to Ireland, why is time ticking so fast? I sometimes think, can i get to her in that amount of time? I really want to avoid this thought so much, we're both girls after all, we can't do that can't we? Why am i getting my hopes up? Does she even like me back? What am i even doing at this point? Nevermind, i won't linger on it for too long.
- Daiwa Scarlet
The freezing winter has hit Tracen Academy, and some students are preparing for races, studying, and some are also going to international places elsewhere. This is also the case for Vodka.
"Ughh, Sca- huh?.. where is she?.." the very sleepy Vodka said to the non-existent Scarlet in the room. As she was getting ready to go to school, she realized something.
'Why am i always thinking about Scarlet these past few weeks?'
She kept thinking about that question and lingering on it to the point she hit a wall. But still, this felt really wrong to her. She isn't supposed to think about her stupid rival. She's the cool Umamusume that shouldn't feel such.. feelings for her own rival..
And not-so-suprisingly enough they are bickering like usual.. for the millionth time.
But this time, it felt different. They were both stuttering and careful around words. Even some Umamusume that witnessed this "bickering" were puzzled by this.
The days after that, the bickering wasn't even "bickering" anymore. Vodka wanted to find out why, so she had to do something very risky. Stalk Scarlet. "I mean, i have to find out why she's actin' all.. weird like this y'know? Does she like me back?" Said Vodka to her precious friend, Machan. Machan was very suprised at that sudden question Vodka blurted out.
"Hey, Vodka"
"Hm? Ya, Machan?"
"I think Machan begs to differ on that question you asked." As Machan talked with Vodka about what Scarlet said a few days ago.
"Machan, I think i might have feelings for a certain.. person who i... sigh,,, it's Vodka, alright? I'll give you that, but i don't think she likes me in anyway possible! And girls can't be with girls! That's inappropriate and disgusting! I'm disgusting.."
Vodka's face was a blushing mess when Machan told every single thing scarlet said to Machan about Vodka.
"So what so you think now?" Says Machan to Vodka who still has a face that's as red as Machan's racing gear.
"I-I.. need to confront h-her.. after t-this..."
