Oreki san is such a nice friend.
I should be grateful for that.
After we said goodnight to each other, even though it was very early in the morning, I felt all alone.
My bedroom suddenly felt empty, as if Oreki san had been there earlier, and left.
Surprisingly, I was not even the slightest bit sleepy.
I laid down, and stared at the ceiling.
I have never done such a thing before, but without realising, the sun rose.
I sat up and rubbed my eyes, thinking.
If it weren't for Oreki-san..
When I stepped out of the house, Oreki-san was waiting for me on his bicycle.
"Good morning," I bowed.
"Good morning... Let's go."
I sat on my bicycle and rode beside him.
It was a pleasant morning. But even so, I felt so afraid.
Thankfully Oreki-san offered to pick me up.
"So Chitanda,"
"Ah, y-yes?"
Oh no, I was spacing out!
"What.. what were you doing at that park the other day?"
Oh.. that was because..
"Were.. were you on a date or something..?"
I glanced over to Oreki-san, who looked the other way.
And then, I felt myself burning up.
"No! I wasn't- I didn't- No!"
Oh my, I must look like a fool!
"O-okay.. "
We rode on in this really awkward but slightly comforting silence.
"O-Oreki-san.."
"Hmm?"
...
I just blurted out his name for no reason.
"Ah, it's.. it's nothing,"
What is wrong with me?
A/N: Hey guys! Thanks for the reviews, it really means a lot to me! So sorry for the delay, but I finally put it up! uwu
