A True Heart
Izumi looked at him in surprise "I'm surprised that he knew where I was……unless if Takato told him" she thought as they were both silent looking at each other. Looking at his face she couldn't help but laugh, "I'm….so…sorry" she tried to apologized but continued to laugh harder
Hearing him sigh he sat down next to her "Now, what's with your mood?"
She laughed again "It was so funny! The way that you looked at me, I've never seen you like that, it's funny" as she glanced at him and was glad when he laughed with her.
"You can be weird sometimes"
…………………
At the Swings
"Izumi, there's something I wanted to ask you….but if you're really not in the mood to talk about it…..I won't say it" he began
She sighed "Well…..I can't ignore it and keep putting it off forever…I have to hear it one day……so, I guess you can tell me now"
She heard him stop, and got up from the swing. Looking up at the sky, he asked "Who am I to you?"
Stopping on the swing she was on also, she continued to stay there and tried to think of an answer "To me….you're Takuya, a guy in my school, most of my classes…..popular….nice…..funny…..you can be clumsy at times also…..and I think you have a good heart" she finished
Laughing he asked "Really? Is that how people see me?"
She began to walk up to him "Takuya, I have a question to ask you also……" she started and shook her head "um…..never mind….."
"You can ask me"
She looked up at him and asked "Do you remember me?"
………………………
"Izumi? Are you okay? You looked dazed" Takato commented also worried that something happened that had to do with yesterday's incident.
She shook her head "It's nothing Takato…..thanks for worrying about me…." trying to act cheerful
As for Takuya, he began thinking about what Izumi said that night. "Do you remember me? What kind of question was that?" he wondered "It's like she's talking about past tense……." he tried to think "Did she know me back then?" he thought
"This is yours, you dropped it" he said handing the necklace to Izumi
"That time……." he remembered
Izumi sat out in the courtyard "I wonder if……I made him worry about it now…." and decided to find Takuya to talk to him about it.
……………
"Think, who was she?" he tried to think
"Takuya?" Izumi asked as she appeared beside him
Looking over at her direction he smiled "Oh hi Izumi"
"Just by looking at him, I can tell it's been on his mind since" she said in her mind "Look, Takuya, you don't have to worry about the question yesterday" she explained
He glanced at her "Izumi, was I a person that was special to you?"
Blushing slightly she looked down "Yes…….but you don't remember……"
