After school and karate at home. Life is so difficult.

Many students were kept after school to get checked by the police. Except for a few. I, in the case, wasn't kept back.

The murder is all over the news and everyone in school is talking about it. Sonoko kept complaining that it is very irritating. Which, of course, it is.

There are a few others who weren't checked. Sonoko wasn't. A boy who was in the concert wasn't. And...there was another boy who passed by me who wasn't checked.

It was right before karate class. I forgot my gi at home so I had to go home and get it. Just when I was walking around a corner, a boy my age ran by as I stepped aside for him to pass. He was in a big hurry.

I turned to look at him before he completely passed by and caught a smile. He felt very familiar, but I'm sure I've never met him.

I smiled back at him before he completely disappeared, knowing that he might not have seen it. He wasn't very muscular, yet he had a very manly build. And he was definitely not bad looking.

I know, I'm turning sicker and sicker every day. So sad.

Mom still isn't home from school so I just cooked dinner and now I'm waiting for her. But everything I'm thinking about right now is that boy. He felt so familiar...

Oh! Mom's home!
