She walked through the park and thought about everything that was going on. I didn't know he had a girlfriend, why are they blaming everything on me? How was I supposed to know, I just met him. I love him and he says he doesn't think we can be together, but he still wants to be friends. Maybe someday…?
Shizuru walked by the bench where they had first met and stared at it. I wish he were here too so I could see him and know what he really feels. Maybe he does want to be with me. Maybe he just wants to take it slow, instead of rushing things again.
Comforted by her thoughts she turned and headed home, hoping that she was right.
She woke up the next morning feeling a lot better and having great hopes for the day.
Even Kazuma couldn't faze her with his normal idiocy. She hummed while drinking her coffee and felt like spinning in circles.
Kazuma was confused and gave her a funny look before leaving for school.
I should start looking for another job. Something where I can work near Kurai or maybe just work the same hours so we can spend time together.
She looked through job ads for the rest of the morning and marked the ones that looked promising.
