Hey guys! I finally have time to update (: I actually finished my homework earlier instead of procrastinating (: Haha.
Rays of sunlight streamed through Nina's window. Squinting, Nina slowly opened her eyes, and glanced at the clock. 10:30am, it read. Nina rubbed her eyes and stretched out her tired muscles. It was a beautiful Saturday, and Nina did not want to waste it. Slipping on her slippers, Nina walked to her bathroom, and took a quick shower. After her shower, she walked down to the kitchen, and prepared a cup of coffee. Nina began mixing up a few ingredients in a bowl, and began frying chocolate chip pancakes. Settling down to her breakfast, Nina took out the newspaper, and slowly began solving a crossword puzzle. A few moments later, she was fully dressed, carrying a bag, and was walking out onto the pavement. Stopping, Nina turned on her iPod, and played Goodbye Days by YUI. Soft music filled her ears, and a faint strum of guitar strings were heard. YUI's clear voice began to fill Nina's ears.
Dakara ima ai ni yuku
Sou kimetanda
POKETTO no kono kyoku wo
Kimi ni kikasetai
Nina walked, letting the sunlight hit her face. She walked slowly to her destination, enjoying nature.
Sotto VORYUUMU wo agete
Tashikamete mita yo
Finally, Nina reached the dance studio. Opening the door, she found a few other dancers practicing their own choreography.
oh Good-bye days ima
Kawaru ki ga suru
Kinou made ni so long
Kakkoyoku nai yasashi sa ga soba ni aru kara
with you
Nina went into the changing room, and dressed into her leotard, leggings, and t-shirt. Pulling her hair into a loose ponytail, she walked onto the dance floor.
Katahou no IYAFON wo
Kimi ni watasu
Yukkuri to nagarekomu
Kono shunkan
Nina gracefully danced, nailing each move perfectly. She was graceful, and danced while emphasizing her moves a little more. Confidence radiated throughout her as she practiced. Nina was so concentrated with her dancing, she did not notice that the other dancers had stopped practicing, and were watching Nina dance in admiration.
Onaji uta wo kuchizusamu toki
Soba ni ite I wish
Kakkoyoku nai yasashi sa ni
Aete yokatta yo
...Good-bye days
Nina finished her choreography, and was congratulated with applause. Nina looked around seeing the other girls clapping. She blushed, embarassed that they were watching her the whole entire time. Nina practiced for another 30 minutes before leaving the studio. She stepped onto the sidewalk, and headed toward the local coffee shop. There, she ordered a pumpkin spice latte. She settled down on one of the small tables, listening to her iPod and continued solving her crossword puzzle. Then, the sound of a chair being pulled back interrupted her. She looked up. Hiroki Tsujiai was standing there, holding a danish roll, and a to-go cup of coffee.
"May I join you?"
"Sure..."
They were silent for a moment. Nina pretended to be concentrated in her crossword puzzle as Hiroki was silently eating his roll.
"So, what are you doing here?" asked Hiroki breaking the ice.
"Um... just having some 'me' time. You know how it is," said Nina nonchalantly.
"I see... so what's your progress on that crossword puzzle?"
"Um.. I've only got two words."
"Ah."
They were silent again. Nina shifted uncomfortably, occasionally stealing glances at Hiroki.
"So, what type of music do you like?"
"Um.. I really like Pop."
"I see."
"You know, I really like the sound of the guitar... I think it makes the song sound so much better," Nina blurted out, surprising Hiroki.
"Really? I do too! In fact, I play the guitar. Maybe we can compose a song together one day!"
"I'd like that."
They tossed their trash into the trashcan, and walked out. They headed toward the bookstore, since Nina insisted. When they arrived, Nina walked quickly to the Young Adult section, and browsed through the novels. She picked one that looked interesting. Lock and Key by Sarah Dessen had caught Nina's eye. It was a hardback cover, and the front was pink with a lock shape on the front. Nina decided that this was the book she wanted to read. Hiroki patiently waited as Nina paid for her book.
"Nina, are you hungry?"
"A little..."
"Let's go get some lunch!"
"Okay!"
"What do you want to eat?" asked Hiroki letting Nina have the first pick.
"Hm... I'm in the mood for sushi! Is that okay?"
"Sure! I love sushi!"
They walked off to a nearby restaurant, and ordered several plates of sushi. Nina hungrily stuffed the sushi in her mouth, savoring the taste. Hiroki looked at her a smiled, thinking that she was really cute. Nina looked up at him, and returned the smile causing Hiroki to blush slightly.
"I had fun hanging around with you today Hiroki!" said Nina after they had finished their lunch.
"Me too! We should hang out more often!"
"Yeah, maybe next time we can invited Kaji and Ayu!"
"That'd be great."
"Well, I'll see you on Monday!" said Nina waving before heading home.
"Right," said Hiroki watching her leave.
He walked off to his home, and they walked their seperate ways.
