"Eh?! What's this?" Shin asked.

"It's a cellphone charm for your birthday yesterday!" Natsumi answered. "I can't come yesterday because otousan was angry about something again. You know I can't just go if he's in that mood."

"But Natsumi, this keychain is for a girl," Shin exasperatedly said.

"But it's a Wish Fairy!" she excitedly squealed.

"A what?!"

"A Wish Fairy! They say that Wish Faeries make our wishes come true! Some say they bring goodluck and the exciting part is, they bring in love to our life!" she explained.

"That's a whole load of crap," Shin said.

At this, Natsumi pouted, "Fine, just don't throw it away. You don't know how much hard work it put me through just to get one for you."

"Ok, fine, thank you for this… uh… charming gift. You better go home now. It's getting late, take care okay?" Shin said.

"I will, bye." Natsumi said and kissed Shin's cheek.

Shin watched as his sister rounded the corner and disappeared from view. He

opened his apartment door and started preparing the ramen he bought yesterday. He

turned on his radio and silently went back to his work. He ate it after a few minutes and

threw the container in the trash bin.

He walked straight to the bathroom after that while taking his clothes off one by one. He left his accessories in the kitchen, his shirt somewhere and his pants on the sofa. He headed for the shower and bathed quickly.

He had just dried himself off when his cellphone rang. Muttering curses under his breath, he quickly wrapped his white towel around his hips and tucked it in.

"Hello?" he answered.

"You're going to die after seven days…." A creepy voice said.

"Yankumi, What's wrong with you?! I'm trying to get some rest here. Don't you know it's rude to distueb other people trying to sleep when you can't?" Shin irritatedly said.

"Hehe… gomen nasai," Yankumi answered. "But tell me, I scared you right?" She asked childishly.

"Drop dead Yankumi," he abruptly said.

"Hehe… You're always serious Sawada. You're young, be like your other classmates and friends," she said.

"I'm hanging up," Shin said.

"Okay, okay, Grandfather told me to invite you over for dinner tomorrow," she said.

"That's the only reason why you called me? You could've said that tomorrow in school," Shin said.

"It's quite a formal one and I thought you would like to prepare for the occasion. You know, look for a decent if not a formal attire," she said.

"What's the occasion anyway?" he asked.

"Well, it's the 50th anniversary of the marriage of grandpa and grandma if she was alive. It's also her birthday as well," she explained.

"I get it okay, I'll come tomorrow, bye Yankumi," he said hastily.

Shin hung up on the phone and immediately dressed up. He was already freezing during their talk because of the coldness in the room plus the fact that he was only wearing a towel around his waist. After drying his hair, he laid down on his bed. It was odd really because he felt tired eventhough he only slept in school. Well of course with the exception of Yankumi's math class. He wouldn't miss a day of seeing her getting

frustrated with his classmates who could not solve even the simplest of mathematical

problems.

Yankumi… he really likes being around her. She fights along with him if their class got into fist fights. He is the only one who knows her secret identity. Sometimes she's so unpredictable. Heck, she even sometimes acts like a 12 years old.

Shin took his cellphone from his bedside table and stared at his sister's gift. It's a Wish Fairy she said Sawada remembered his sister's speeches awhile ago. "A Wish Fairy! They say that Wish Faeries make our wishes come true! Some say they bring goodluck and the exciting part is, they bring in love to our life!" Sawada laughed at this remark but thinking back, would it hurt if he tried it out? He had nothing to lose right? But the question is to try it out on who?

Sawada smiled as he instantly decided to use it on his math teacher tomorrow. But how will he try it out? This thought kept Sawada thinking for a while until he gave up. "Ah… to hell with it. I'll just keep this beside me" he finally declared.

Tomorrow will be a very interesting day…. Sawada thought as he slowly drifted off to sleep.
