It was the evening and all of our classes were over for the day. I walked out of the school building with the rest of the gang. My arms were embracing the back of my head as I walked behind the group. I took one glance up at the sky. A bird flew by, chirping as it flew over my head. The sky was painted with a rainbow of warm colors. I smiled widely as I ran ahead of the group and started walking backwards.

"You know, I always wondered about something." I broke the silence that filled our group.

"What is that?" Shu-chan asked me.

"Do you guys have anyone you like right now? Like a crush or something?"

Kanamecchi's face flushed slightly, which my lips curved into a sly smirk. Yuki and Yuta's face didn't reveal any emotion as usual and Shun-chan pondered on the thought, but shook his head.

I let out a heavy sigh, but grinned widely as I leaned against Kanamecchi's shoulder.

"So, you like somebody, huh?" I nudged his shoulder.

He scoffed at me and pushed me away.

"What about you. Huh? Do you have someone you like?" He asked me angrily, trying to avoid his answer.

I looked at the ground and thought about Mary-chan. I liked her, but she's in love with Shu-chan, so I don't think I have a chance with her.

I opened my mouth about to give him an answer, but faint singing stopped me and caught my attention. I stopped in my tracks and turned my attention to where the sound came from, the park.

"Chizuru-kun, what's wrong?" Shu-chan asked me.

I ignored his question and walked towards the sound. I peeked in through the bushes to only see the back. She wore our school's uniform. The hem of her skirt and her long flowing black hair swayed with the current of the wind as her lips emitted a soft melody.

"Chizuru!" Shu-chan called out to me.

"Leave the monkey be!" Kanamecchi suggested angrily to him.

I turn my gaze from her and ran back over to the group, casting one last glance towards the park, before turning around and catching up to my friends.
