I got to walk home with Tsuna-kun too. I think I'm gonna like this school year a lot. Oh! Mommy's asking about my day.
"So? How was it sweetie?" She smiled at me. I shivered. There were too many people there…
"…I-it was okay…" I muttered, "B-but Tsuna-kun said that I could go to his house today! We made up another adventure!"
Mommy giggled, "Oh did you now? But remember~" she sang, "You have to ask Nana-chan if you can come over~!"
My grip on my mommy's skirt tightened. That's right I completely forgot!
"M-Mommy?"
"Yes?" She had that look that said 'I know what you're gonna ask'.
"C-can we go back to Sawada-san then?" She giggled again.
"No need sweetie!" She took out her phone from her pocket, it was a really pretty purple with a small shiny screen. Mommy flipped it open and pressed on a number for a few seconds, then she held it up to her ear. Oh! Mommy's wearing her pretty green earrings today.
"Hi Nana-chan~" said Mommy, "Chi was wondering if she could come over for a bit to play with Tsuna-kun…" Mommy and I waited for a few seconds, then, "Okay~ We'll be there soon~" Mommy put her phone back in her pants' pocket and took my hand, "Ready?"
I nodded quickly.
We had to stop playing for today. Tsuna-kun's and my fight with the ogres was going on for too long and Mommy had to get home and make dinner.
"Get home safely then Ma-chan~" Sawada-san bowed slightly. Mommy and I were standing just outside Tsuna-kun's house. We bowed back.
"Don't worry Nana-chan, our house isn't that far away," Mommy giggled.
Tsuna-kun was holding my hands while Mommy was talking to Tsuna-kun's mommy.
"Goodnight Chi-chan!" he grinned, "We'll beat those mean, ugly ogres tomorrow!"
My face was getting warm as I thought of playing with Tsuna-kun again tomorrow, both at school AND at home. I was getting excited, I felt like jumping, but Mommy was already walking me home.
Ah! I didn't say goodbye to Tsuna-kun and his mommy!
"…A-ah…G-g-goodnight Tsu-Tsuna-kun! S-Sawada-san!" I shouted. Mommy and I weren't that far yet so I could still hear Sawada-san giggle and see her take Tsuna-kun inside to get ready for their dinner.
Mommy and Daddy were tucking me in after I brushed my teeth.
"So how was school today Chi?" Daddy asked. I tugged a loose string on my blanket.
"…There were a lot of people…" I murmured. Mommy grinned.
"But you were in the same class as Tsuna-kun, right?" My face got warm again and I nodded, I wonder if I'm getting a fever. Daddy laughed, he had a nice laugh too. It was deep and soft, like those really big violin-looking things I see on TV sometimes, I think it was called a "jello"?
"Is that so," Daddy pushed some of my hair back and kissed my forehead, "Well, you're very lucky to have a friend like him huh?" I smiled a little.
"…yeah…" I yawned. Mommy smiled and kissed me on the forehead too.
"It's getting a little late for our little girl," she wrapped me in my blanket and both she and Daddy left my room after turning off my lamp. I stuffed my face into my dark green pillow and grinned really big.
I couldn't wait to go to school tomorrow.
