Something
The leaves on the trees had changed to different, vibrant colors of red, orange, and yellow. The air had become much cooler, and squirrels were scurrying around, hiding their acorns. People had already begun preparing for Christmas when it was only Thanksgiving tomorrow. It was fall. He liked the fall.
Satoshi Hiwatari stepped out of the local library, breathing in deeply. Fall was the only season he truly enjoyed, so he smiled. Only a little though.
Out of the corner of his eye, Satoshi caught a figure moving. Actually, a figure climbing a tree. Curious, he walked to the large sakura that stood in the front school yard. Looking up, he found himself facing the soles of someone's shoes.
"Harada-san?"
Risa moved her legs and looked down at him. She smiled and waved. "Hi, Hiwatari-kun!"
"What are you doing?" Standard question.
"Enjoying the weather," she replied with a sparkle in her eyes. "Want to join me?"
Satoshi considered this, and found himself somewhat... happy to have someone to share his joy with. These kinds of things didn't happen too often. He shrugged casually and dropped his backpack to the ground. Then, with one great leap, he caught onto a branch and swung himself over. He must have made it look so easy. Risa was shocked and could only ramble when he asked what was the matter.
"You really are something, Hiwatari-kun," she finally said with a content grin.
"... You are too."
"Huh?"
"Nothing."
