Frowning at the rain, Mayaka Ibara slumped into her arms in club room. Like usual, she's the first to arrive. Always scolding Satoshi Fukube to come earlier so she can seriously confess before the rest came seemed pointless now. She's been trying since Junior High and still is no where. She knows he's pushing her away but she just doesn't know why. Mayaka then wonders if there's something wrong with her that's not to Satoshi's liking but quickly pushed the thought away. Now standing by the window, she stared in wonder at the rain, never seeming to end, like her never ending love story.
"Ah, good afternoon, Mayaka-san!" greeted a voice. Turning around in a slight surprise, Mayaka saw Chitanda Eru carrying her bag, along with her embrella. "Ah, hey Chi-chan!" she said cheerfully. "How was your day?" Chitanda asked smiling. "Gloomy, I guess." Mayaka said frowning at the sky once more. Waiting for Chitanda to agree, her reply to her statement was unexpected.
"But the rain isn't that bad." Chitanda said with a confused look on her face. "Eh? But Chi-chan, rainy weather kinda makes you... you know, a little sluggish." Mayaka said trying to put her feelings into words. Seeming to understand her a bit, Chitanda chuckled, "Mayaka-san, even though it seems gloomy, a rainbow always comes afterwards! And the crops seem a bit healthier too." she said while pointing out the window. Widening her eyes, she looked outside once more. The thick dark clouds covered the sky but sure enough, in the distance lied a small but beautiful rainbow. The mood lightening a bit, Mayaka smiled.
With renewed hope, Mayaka would stand in this endless rain and wait for the rainbow to show, even if it meant forever. She would wait until Satoshi at least responds to her feelings, regardless if the response was negative or positive.
