"THINKING OF YOU"
It was midnight. Time was flying by slowly as if it were about to stop. That was how she remembered it. Oh how she longed for the next time they would meet. How long it seemed the last time they met.
As dawn broke out that faithful day, Hitomi and her best friend Yukari had been walking down the street walking towards school. They were talking about Amano.
"How much do you love him anyway Yukari? You could tell me. I'm your best friend."
"Well, as… as much as… as much as…" She blushes. "As much as I love... Oh, I don't know. Well how about you Hitomi, considering he loves you more than he loves me." She stops walking. She can't answer. "Hitomi?" "Uhm, I don't know Yukari." "Why, is there somebody else in your mind?" "I just don't know." Sensing that her friend is hiding something, she asks her firmly but gently, " Is there something you haven't told me about Hitomi? It looks like your hiding something." "Oh iii… it's… it's nothing really", she stammered. Yukari wasn't convinced enough. " Someday Hitomi, tell me someday; when you're ready to tell me alright." Ok Yukari." "Promise?" "Promise." They continued walking.
On the way to school, they met him. It was him alright. No other person could be as perfect as Amano Susumu. No one else could be as perfect as him for the eyes of Yukari and her best friend. Or is there?
As they walked towards the senior track captain of the school, Yukari notices Hitomi was acting… strangely. " Yukari! Hitomi!" "Oh, Good morning Amano!" They both greeted. All three friends started walking together. "What are you two doing this weekend if I may ask you?" He asks them both. "I'll be staying at home doing nothing really." Yukari answers. "What about you Hitomi? What are you doing this weekend?" She doesn't answer. She was thinking of something else. "Hitomi? Are you feeling alright?" Amano asks her. "What? Oh sorry, I was umm, thinking about something else. What was your question again?" " I was asking if you were doing anything this weekend. Are you? I was hoping both of you will be free." "Why do you ask?" Hitomi answers. "Hitomi Kanzaki just answer his question." Yukari tells her. " Umm, let me see. I'll… I'll tell you later. I'll have to check my schedule." "Hitomi, is there a problem?" Amano was concerned. "A problem? Oh no, no, no. There's no problem." She answers. "Amano, don't believe her. She's been like that all morning." Yukari says. "Of course not Yukari, I haven't been like this all morning!" "Really? I don't think so." "Never mind Yukari, I'll ask her again later. But Hitomi, be sure that you will be able to give me an answer alright?" "Ok Amano, we'll meet you later at break time." They continued walking quietly.
What is Hitomi thinking about? That went through Amano and Yukari's mind while Hitomi continued thinking about what she was thinking ever since she woke up. What is it with Hitomi?! She's been like this all the time! Yukari is starting to get irritated. Poor Hitomi. Maybe she's stressed out. Amano is really concerned about Hitomi this time. They just continued walking towards school without any word to each other but with lots of things bothering each other's minds.
