It was the 14th birthday of Daisuke Niwa. He had gotten ready for this day. He had combed his spiky, crimson red hair so that it would be neat. He pulled on his school uniform (a red T-shirt, with a white polo shirt over it with the t-shirt showing at the collar and dark red pants). He ran downstairs to find that he was not going to be early if he ate breakfast. He swiftly took a piece of toast and chewed on it as he ran outside. He was going to ask the girl he loved out on a date today and he wasn't gonna let anything stop him. He sprinted across the town to the trolley where he would meet her. He had carefully planned and researched when she goes on the trolley. She would be on the trolley on Monday, today, at 7 o'clock. It was 10 minutes to 6. Yes, he would make it on time. He stepped on the trolley to wait for her stop. At the next stop he came to the front to meet with her. Risa, the girl he loved, gracefully stepped on board to find Daisuke right in front of her. Daisuke wasn't expecting her to be this close. He tried to take a step back and later found he had fallen on the floor. Risa pushed back her long chestnut brown hair behind her ear and offered her hand, "Niwa-kun, are you okay?" Daisuke turned a bright shade of pink. He quickly jumped to his feet and replied, "Yeah, I just fell. It was completely my fault, Harada-san." Risa looked at him for a second then started to giggle. He had always acted clumsy when he was around her. Daisuke, who was embarrassed, scratched the back of his head and laughed as well. Daisuke took out his hand to direct her to two seats side by side nearby. She nodded her thanks and sat down. Daisuke watched her as she pushed the back part of her sailor skirt to her body so that she could sit down. He had always thought she was cute, even in the school uniform (a red and white sailor top and a red skirt with folds). Only Riku, Risa's twin sister, met up to her looks. They looked very alike, except that Riku was more athletic and she had short, chestnut hair. Daisuke looked into Risa's eyes as they rode the trolley. Risa noticed he was looking at her and she turned to face him and smiled. Her smile was like a sun shining down on him. He began to the love within his heart start to react. He blushed as he smiled back and chuckled. She pushed her long hair behind her ear and asked," Niwa-kun, I was wondering if you would come with me to the museum tonight?" Daisuke gave her a confused look and asked, "Why are you going to the museum tonight and why me?" Risa sighed and said, "Fine, if you can't go, I understand." Daisuke sat up and replied, "No, it's not that I can't go. It's just….I want to know: why and why me?" Risa answered, "Well, there is supposed to be something big happening tonight and I need someone to protect me." Daisuke said, "Well, if that is the case then I guess I'll come along with you. What time?" Risa smiled and answered, "Great! Meet me at my house at 7 o'clock." Daisuke nodded and replied, "Got it!"(He had completely forgot about his entire plan because of his excitement) Finally, the trolley arrived at their stop. They got out and walked side by side to the school.
