...
"Another one, Kazehaya?"
"You sure got something."
"I don't think that's the right idea.." Kazehaya stared at the small pink envelope that had a short confession letter inside. He just came to school that morning, finding that on his locker.
Dear Kazehaya,
I've been wanting to tell you my feelings since the day I first saw you. You're inspiring, I feel like I'm being carried on puffy clouds whenever you pass by, head-over-heels. Please stay in your classroom later this afternoon, and I'll meet you there. I'll finally get to say what I've been wanting to say.
Give me this chance, can you?
...
It had no name, that's sure. He had no idea who it was.
"But, doesn't she know that you're already in a relationship?" Ayane asked, referring to the girl who gave him the letter.
"Yeah, that should make sense." Chizu added, wondering for herself.
"I'm not sure." Kazehaya frowned a bit.
"You should go clear that misunderstanding with her." Sawako suggested, her face just innocent.
"Yeah. Don't worry." Kazehaya smiled at her,
"I will."
...
"Hey, Ayane."
"Hm?"
"Where's Miaka, by the way?"
.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.
"Yeah. Thanks." Miaka was there in the second floor corridor, smiling at someone new.
"Miaka."
"Oh, Ayane. How's-" instead of greeting back, Ayane pulled her childhood friend away from the public.
"What's up?" Miaka continued to asked as they reached the school garden, Ayane stopped pulling for a bit.
"I'm not so sure about this." Ayane looked at her, her eyes somehow worried.
"It'll be okay, I'm sure." the long brunette assured the orange head.
"How do you know that?"
Miaka just can't help but smile at response,
"Because, this is what I do,
..And I'll be needing your help."
.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.
"Sorry, guys. Can't walk with you later after school."
"Why not? We're shopping."
"Again?"
"Well. The Book Club just asked me if I could assist them with something." Miaka pushed a smile out on her lips.
"I'll catch with you later."
"Okay, then. Let's go~" Chizu cheered as she headed towards the door, with Sawako and Ayane behind her. Miaka was packing up her things and saw Kazehaya do the same thing. Except, he was staring at a pink envelope, his mind obviously deep.
"You're gonna wait for that?" Miaka asked, not even looking at Kazehaya, but at what she's doing.
"Yeah." Kazehaya said, keeping the small envelope in his pocket,
"It's just a misunderstanding."
Miaka chuckled a bit, placing the strap of her bag on her shoulders.
"I don't believe it is."
…
Miaka looked around. She was too busy thinking about what to do later to notice that it was just the two of them left in their classroom. She looked at the wall clock, it was already 5 in the afternoon. Enough time to do everything. She got her cellphone from her bag and typed down a few letters and hit send. She walked to the door and opened it. But,
"Hey," she mumbled, gripping the strap of her bag, and closed the door instead.
"Miaka?" Kazehaya said, his voice unsure. Miaka removed her pigtails, showing off more of her wavy brown hair and dropped her bag beside her.
"I.."
.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.
'Come earlier.'
Ayane stared at her cellphone screen. Then pulled off the most anguished face she ever knew.
"Oh, shoot!" Ayane slapped her forehead,
"I forgot my ballpen in our room. Let's go back."
"Don't you have extras at home?" Chizu asked. They were about a few meters away from school already and it will be tiring to head back.
"I don't." Ayane lied.
"Can't we just buy one later?" Sawako suggested. Well, there might be other options.
"But, it's a special ballpen!" Ayane pulled her two friends with her, walking back to their school.
"Whoa. Okay, Yano-chin." Chizu laughed,
"Take it easy, will ya?"
'I hope this will be worth it, Miaka.'

Sorry if it's another cliffhanger. But, it's all I can spoil, for now. Anyway, one more chapter left. Well, I'm not so sure myself. *chuckles* Or if I'm motivated, I'll extend it a bit more. *smiles* Thanks for reading!
