Chapter 1
I dashed to the counter. Finally I arrived on time. Now Mitsuki wouldn't complain about me being late ever again or so I thought. "But I wished she picked a better day than today" I muttered to myself. Good thing I put my curly black hair in a bun on this hot day. Though it annoyed the heck out of me when my bangs came close to my hazel colored eye and I had to brush it off every 5 minute. "Excuse me do you have a table reserved under the name Mitsuki Yamada" I asked the person at the counter.
"Hmm let me check the notebook... oh Ms. Yamada." "She arrived some moment ago and is sitting on table eight." Damn! She got here before. Oh well at least I was right on time.
"Kano!" "Right here." Ah there she was, my friend Mitsuki from Elementary school. Mitsuki and I were so close that we treated each other as sister. We were inseparable. Now that we were on the last years of High school it would been eleven years that I knew her. "It's rare to see you coming early for a change."
"Ha-ha very funny." "So what did you want to talk about Mitsu?"
"Oh, about that." "I got a new boyfriend."
"What!" "But we just started High school a week ago." "I mean you barely transferred here." But I guess I shouldn't be surprised. Mitsuki looked out of place sitting here with me. Mitsu was prettier than an average person could achieve. It was like goddess of Beauty was smiling upon her since birth. Her silky, straight, short, black hair complimented her fair skin and her thin five foot seven inches body. She qualified for a teen model.
"I know it seems too soon but he seems like a nice guy and he is also the captain of the archery club." "He asked me out on the fifth day of school." "It was really surprising but I didn't see any harm in not accepting."
"What is his name?"
"Takano Shirano"
"Hmm... that name sounds really familiar." "Shi...rano." "I can't remember where I heard that name before."
"Don't try too hard trying to remember." "Maybe it will come back to you later." "But he is really well known around the school because he won second place in the third year's prefecture archery competition." "Maybe that's how you heard his name."
"I guess you're right." But I am probably sure I heard his name somewhere else. "You sure are lucky." "I bet you were born under the star of fortune or beauty."
"I hope that is true." "Anyway back to the topic, I want you to meet him and tell me your impression of him." "I was wondering if you can come next Saturday to my house around six." "Around that time my parents will be working late." "Or maybe some other time if you're not free."
"Sure, I will come next Saturday." "He better be a decent guy like you say he is." "Oh yeah don't forget to get a cake." "It is your birthday next Saturday, remember?"
