She looked gloomily into the distance as if she was in her own world while the teacher was trying to teach math "Saya I need you to solve this equation" the teacher said as she lifted up her slim finger and pointed to the complicated equation, of course to Saya this just was like counting she stood up and gracefully answered "the answer is Thirteen," she sat down as the rest of the class stared in awe at the bored wondering how she could even answer such a question. She continued to look gloomily into space wondering what other people are doing in the busy streets of Kyota while she was cramped up in the dull classroom. A few minutes later the bell rang to the end of the day she gathered up her books and papers and walked out of the classroom.
She was still in her own world not watching what was around her then seconds later she was on the floor shuffling in a hurry to get up and gathered her books, when a hand reached and helped her get a book it was the cutest guy in school helping her out she was a little nervous apologizing every second she could get "I'm so sorry Kogi-san" she desperately said, "no no its ok you were just off in your own world again I just need to learn to just move when I see someone coming towards me" he said with a laugh as he reached his hand out to help her up, she grabbed his hand blushing a little as he pushed some of her long red hair away from her face. He looked at her with a warm smile and said "just try not to go into your own world while walking ok I don't want you to get hurt" she started to blush again but quickly regained herself and stuttered "t-thank y-you Kogi-san". "hey I'll walk you home if you would like" Kogi said as he was trying not to blush himself .
They talked on the way home, as they approached her house Saya began to wonder if he lived near by and began to worry a little on what her father might think of her coming home with a boy. "so I take it that this is your house Saya, wow we live pretty close to each other" A look of happiness was smeared all over her face as she started to blush and said "well that's good I guess we can walk to school together to huh" she sighed happily and desperately tried not to blush as Kogi said "yeah I finally will have someone to talk to in the mornings now" he smiled again and walked off.
"Dad I'm ho--" "sweetie where have you been daddy was worried!" he interrupted her as he embraced her tightly "dad I was only two minutes late honestly you need to calm down…" she pleaded with a sigh as he let go of her she went up the stairwell and down the hall to her room, opened the door to a fresh fragrance of vanilla "I see my plug-in is working" she sighed happily as she walked over to her desk to get started on her homework. Then her dad opened the door just as she finished the first problem, she looked over at her dad and had a miserable look on her face, she hates to get bothered when she is working on her homework "what dad." she roared as she slammed the pencil on the desk "I just wanted to see what you are doing." he said as happy as he can be "I'm working on my homework just like I always do when I get home" she said disgusted. Once her dad left she continued on her work with anger and yet when she looked at an old photo of her and Kogi all of her anger whispered away to nothing. She began to remember what Kogi told her in the first grade that she should just ignore the people who are making fun of her and not get to upset. She sighed and finished her last problem as a smile whipped across her face.
"Dinners ready" her dad shouted she began walking down the stairs and still lost in her own world, once she was in the kitchen she sat at her usual spot and started on her curry "I seen you walking home with Kogi today…"her father said as he was putting his spoon back into the bowl of curry "so what was the occasion?" he asked as he took another bite of curry, "N-nothing he just offered to walk home with me" she said getting up to wash her bowl and put it in the washer "is he your boyfriend now?" her father asked with a curious look all over his face "n-no what would make you think that?!" she replied unknowingly blushing "you were blushing and seemed very happy" he replied laughing a little, her face was red due to blush "you need to stop making assumptions!" she said while starting back up the stairs, her father watched her go up the stairs with a concerned look upon his face wondering what happened.
She was just getting her bed ready when her dad came in and asked "you like him don't you." he sat down on her bed as she just folded the covers back "yes I like him but I'm to nervous to tell him, because a lot of girls told him and they all got rejected" she replied looking depressed, she began to think over and over what would happen if she had told him. He is her only friend what if I lose him she continued on to think and started to cry "I don't want to lose him as a friend, if he dose turn me down" . Her father began to look at her in a kind way "you're a sweet girl Saya I'm sure he will still be your friend if he dose reject you which I highly doubt he will" he responded as a soft smile appeared on his face.
"just go to sleep and tell him tomorrow I promise everything will be ok" he said while he started to get up off the bed, Saya laid down and her father covered her up "now go to sleep…" he began to leave the room turning the light off as he left.
