My name is Makoto Sunawaka. I just graduated junior high school.
Right now I'm inside my now used-to-be classroom. Apparently there was a girl among a few others that dragged me there. I knew my friend (best-friend) Gouda Takeo liked her a lot. That's why this girl was no good. Like many other girls she was someone who made fun of Gouda Takeo behind his back. That's why I would naturally reject her. The girl blanked out of course and I felt Takeo behind me, like he usually was when I turned down someone he liked. Thankfully he was a real friend who wouldn't choose a girl over his friend.
"Takeo! Suna!", I heard the familiar voice behind me as we turned around. There a short female that only reached to my shoulders stood waving. Her straight hair fluttered along the wind as she waved. Her skirt was short and her shirt was open around the area of her neck. She had long black eyelashes and light brown eyes. In her hand, she held her smartphone. Her long dark pink nails with glitter on was visible. She wore dark pink lipstick. The girl was notorious amongst other girls. She was envied and an outcast yet she didn't let it bother her. I always admired her strong confidence. "Are you two going home? Let's go together", her earrings dangled.
"U!", Takeo answered and she started walking next to me.
Sakura flowers blossomed all over the country right now. I looked at the girl beside me. Sakano Hanashi, a childhood friend who lives in the same apartment building. I didn't really know a lot about her as we often were in different classes however she did stand out from the crowd. She comes now and then and hang out with Takeo and me but otherwise I find the girl pretty mysterious.
"Takeo, choose a card", she held out her tarot cards. Yes, she self-proclaimed herself as a psychic. Although I believed that most of it was a bluff her predictions were pretty accurate I've heard. I saw Takeo's card. "Hmm, a soul-mate, huh. Spring has truly come for you Takeo. Isn't that good?", she smiled and took back the card.
"Really?", he exclaimed excitedly. How gullible of him.
"Yes, Takeo. You'll soon meet your fated one. Apparently, she also seems to be quite the beauty and she should have a talent for something with her hands- Oi! Suna don't misunderstand. I meant that she was good at making something with her hands. Maybe she's good at sewing or cooking. Either way, she is Takeo's fated partner".
I hope it isn't a lie, I looked pitifully at my friend.
"Anyway, we're here. Bye, bye", she lived on the bottom floor.
My eyes were stuck on her slender back as Takeo said goodbye.
Sakano Hanashi. Quite the mysterious girl.
