Chapter 9 - Forgetful Boy

The first period ends and Ken proceeds to start picking on Hiro.

- What is this guy's deal.

Noa stands up but before he can say anything Kazumi says "leave him alone."

Ken: "I was just chatting with him."

Kazumi: "He sure doesn't seem like he wants to talk."

Ken: "Alright I get it already. I was going to blow this popsicle stand anyways."

Ken exit the class and Kazumi walks over.

Kazumi: "Are you alright that dummy is never going to learn"

Hiro: "It's ok really."

Kazumi: "You have to stand up for your self..."

- I wonder what thier relationship is. He told me that he didn't know anything about girls. I take back everything I said. Guess he was a Normie after all.

Noa starts thinking back on his elementary days playing on the playground with friends and the laughter and joy he felt.

- Strange why did I think of that in a moment like this.

Kazumi: "Well, are you going to say something!?"

-Huh? Sounds like she's talking to me

Noa: "Sorry I spaced out for a second."

Kazumi: "Wow. You have truly forgotten about us?"

- About us? Did I sleep walk yesterday or something?

Hiro: "Kazu?"

Noa: "Sorry I didn't mean anything by it, it's just that I didn't get enough rest."

Kazumi: "And here I was excited to see you again."

Noa: "Eh!? What do you mean by again?"

Kazumi: "Tell him Hiro!"

Noa: "Hiro?"

Hiro: "Honestly, I knew right away who you were, that's why I was excited to see you, but it has seemed that you forgot. However, when you started calling me Hiro again I thought that maybe you remembered after all."

Noa: "From elementary school?"

"Yeah." Hiro responded while swiping away at his eye. "You were the one who first gave me this nick name."

- Wait, these two are my childhood friends? So you mean the little girl from elementry is? No way!! These two could pass for a pop idol couple! They are so defined and well develoaped; meanwhile, I'm over here on my road to Neetdom. I had a crush on Kazu when we were young but now she's a total knock out.

Noa: "Honestly, can you blame me? You two look nothing like you did when we were in Elementry school. I am sorry I made you feel that way. I could never forget you two."
