I saw someone dancing in the rain. His performance was beautiful, it looked like he was flying with black wings scattering feathers.
It dazzled me, inspired me. I've never felt this way before. Even about running and origami.
And yet... I ran away before he could see me... Ugh! I'm such an idiot!
He... gave me some hope that I could change.. No. I want to change.
I want to see him again, even if only for a brief moment. Why? Well... because. I feel like if I follow him, I'll find something. Whether it's about myself or, something else.
I recognized the emblem on his jacket. Ayanagi Academy, huh... I think I'll go there. Yes. I know I'm an amateur, and that there's a slim chance I'll even get in, but... I have to try.
I tried to copy his dance from memory. I'm clumsy, but... I still keep at it.
As for what I'll do when I meet him again? ... I don't know. I haven't thought that far ahead. Hmm... I'll probably tell him that I admire him, that his dancing is just beautiful. After that... I might follow him like a stray puppy that followed him home..., or something like that.
I'd never tell him how he makes me feel though. Even I don't know that! I just know that no one has made me feel this way before, making my heart race like this, getting me all excited and hopeful.
Oh, Kami. I think I'm in love with him. Or, at least, have a crush on him. ... No no no no no! I can't believe this! I've never even had a childhood friend or best friend before, let alone a crush!
Plus, I'm afraid of rejection. While I'm used to wandering and being alone, sometimes... it's just too much to bear. I'd feel lonely, sad, like I want someone to comfort me, if only for a short while. Like I want to come home.
But, when I think about him, it all goes away. I think about him and... I don't feel as lonely anymore. Even I don't understand why.
When I meet him again... I don't think I could ever confess to him. It would just be awkward.
I'll just keep in these feelings and work on dancing. Even if it takes me years to catch up to him. Who knows? Maybe it's fate that I even encountered him.
