Hey guys I'm sorry I haven't updated in a while! I'll try to be more frequent from now on! Thanks for reading!
Finally after it seems like forever, lunch comes. I had lots of time waiting for sasayan to prepare a good lunch, now I can get fat and boys won't like me anymore, excellent plan! I walk to our bench and see Mitty and Haru, Mitty reading, as usual, and Haru playing with her hair. It makes me so happy to see that they are finally together. Suddenly I think of my own love life, how confusing it is, I sit down and start to eat. Then, speak of the devil, here comes Sasayan waving at us from across the field. I stare at my sandwich, no, I stare anywhere but HIM. I don't know what is going on, I can't let this happen.
"Natsume? Are you listening?" I hear his voice in my head and I turn to face him.
"Oh sorry, what were you saying?"
"He was saying that the weather is going to be very hot this weekend, and that he is thinking of going to the beach and wanted to know if we wanted to come." Mitty explains, not even looking up from her book.
"See Natsume? Shizuku was listening and she was reading, why aren't you paying attention to me huh? HUH?" He teases, nudging my shoulder. I swat him away, not feeling comfortable with the contact.
"Sorry, jeez, am I not allowed to think?" I roll my eyes.
"You are, but you never do." He laughs.
"Oi! You two, stop flirting, are we going or not?" Haru interjects.
"We weren't flirting!" I could feel the blush in my cheeks. But we weren't right? This is how we usually interact, isn't that normal? I look at Sasayan, he seems undisturbed and starts talking about the beach again.
"Yeah on Saturday it's supposed to be boiling, lets go! It's lonely if I go all by myself." He grumbles.
"I'm in!" Haru fist pumps, then he nudges Mitty, "Are you going?"
"I kind of wanted to study-"
"Come on! We never hang out." Haru groans.
"We see each other everyday at school and a little after!" She says.
"It's not the same! Please?!"
"Ugh fine! I'll go since it will be so hot." She rolls her eyes. I think I see a bit of a smile on the face of hers. Then everyone looks at me, it's like an interrogation.
"I'll think about it." I say, looking down at my yet to be eaten lunch.
At this, I see Sasayan's face fall, then he regains his composure and nods. Then the bell rings and just like that, lunch is over, and I didn't even get to EAT.
"Hey so are we walking home together?" Sasayan asks as we walk back to class.
"I thought you had baseball practice on Fridays."
"Nope not today, the coaches decided to cancel to have a meeting with the principal about a few things. So yeah, right?"
"Yeah I guess I could use some company." I look down at my shoes.
"Cool!" He smiles, then all the way back to class he makes me laugh, and I think about nothing but me and him right then and there.
