Chapter 1:
The Meeting
I made a list of what-to do's for the whole year. It turned out to be okay--I guess. I had only five to do's so that I could graduate and leave this school peacefully.
My five to-do's…
1. Study hard.
2. Join a Club.
3. Attend the Prom.
4. Smile more often.
5. Find my perfect girlfriend.
I know there was no such thing as a perfect someone, but I'm a hopeless romantic, I believe that there is someone destined to you…
By that time, Haruka was already in front of me. And she was telling me about what happen to her that day, the truth is... I'm not listening to her. I don't care about what she was saying, maybe she was telling me that she wanted to commit suicide and I won't give a shoulder about it. I was busy savoring the glimpse of my Natsuki. She's so cute. She was there playing basketball with her teammates.
She looked handsome with her hair tied in a pony tail, she looks sweaty but still she managed to look good. Sigh…if only I could hug her and smell her and kiss her lips and then we could cuddle all day and--
--"BANG!!"--
It was Haruka. She tapped the table so hard that I was startled.
"What…?" I asked, a bit annoyed.
"You're not paying attention..." I just shrugged. It doesn't really matter if I am listening or not. Haruka laughed. "You're looking at her again! Shizuru, you've been crushing on her for ages. Why don't you go and tell her how you feel?"
"I can't. She might think I'm crazy or worse she might think I'm stalking her. And she doesn't even know about me..."
I smiled bitterly and gathered my things. That's just the saddest reality of my life. The girl I want doesn't know I exist. Is there anyway for Natsuki to notice me? If there is…please kami-sama. Please…make it happen.
"Where are you going?" Haruka asked.
"Library… Wanna come?"
"No thanks… I might see a monster there."
I couldn't help but giggle. Haruka hates the library so much. I took one last look at my Natsuki; Haruka muttered something that made me smile. I headed to the library. The thing is the library is adjacent to the basketball court. So you should pass by the bleachers then to the side court then you have to cross the pavement before you reach the library. I was reading my notes when suddenly I heard a voice.
"Look out!"
I looked around to see who yelled, when I turned, my face got hit by a basketball. The next thing I knew, my back was on the cold pavement and I saw a very familiar face. It was Natsuki.
"Are you alright?" She looked so worried; She lowered her face on mine, so that she could see if I'm alright…
"I guess so…" I tried to get up but I can't see normally.
"I'm so sorry. But really you shouldn't be walking and reading at the same time." She helped me stand up. By that moment, Haruka was beside me… Then she said:
"You!? You ought to take SHIZURU to the Clinic, Right now! Look what you've done to her! Take her to the clinic now!" Of all the things Haruka had said today, this is the only thing that really made me happy.
