Chereads / The Three Leaf Clover / Chapter 3 - New Life

Chapter 3 - New Life

In the early morning before the sunrise the streets are not really busy, few people walking, few jogging and some passing cars.

This time of the day that's called 'nautical morning' or 'nautical twilight' is my favorite, with low noise and fresh air I can listen to music peacefully while jogging.

Today I will change to my new daily routine plan, I started by waking up at 5 o'clock in the morning, after refreshing my self and brush my teeth, I check my school schedule then my texts books.

After half an hour of push-ups and squats, I start jogging for one hour, even though I mostly focus on increasing my stamina than my muscles, I have well develop slim body that reached 170 Cm with good muscular structure just like professional swimming athletes.

I always listen to music while jogging or in anytime I can like while I'm walking or riding the train. The music I listen to is all in foreigner languages that I want to learn.

Just listening to music will not teach you the language you want to learn, but repeatedly listening to it you will find many repeated words you can memories, and it can make the language more familiar to you, with lessons and the constant exposure it will be little faster to learn new languages.

I some time listen to English music, but since I mostly master it I started to listen more to arabic music. I still remember when I was tricked to learn this difficult language.

The sound of the alarm cut off my thoughts, it's close to 7 o'clock, It's time to go back, I jogged little faster and reached in time.

"Good morning."

Right after I enter my house I heard Suzu voice, a 15 years old girl with a black eyes, unlike my wavy black hair she has short silky black hair that reach her chin, she holds her long bangs to the side with a hair clip.

"Good morning Suzu."

She is already wearing her school uniform and seems ready to leave, so I asked her, "you are going out? Isn't it too early for school?"

She started to put on her shoe and answers without looking at me, "I need to make sure that there's no problem in the club preparation for the new students."

After she finished her final preparation then she glance at me and said, "are sure about your morning exercise before going to your first day at that famous school?".

Now that I finished putting my indoor shoe I answered, "It's ok, I have enough time in my schedule."

"I see" that was her only answer.

She went pass me and opened the door, "mom had prepared the breakfast and don't forget your bento", she said these words without looking at me and went out closing the door behind her.

Sigh, during this conversation we didn't look much at each other, most of our talk is like that with little emotion, except when I teach her, we only ask questions that we already know there answer, I know that she is the tracks and field club president, and she knows that I makes plans and schedules before doing something.

Even though we had known each other for little more than a year now, we hardly know much about one another.

'Since I had already entered high school and finished most of my personal studies I should act more like an older brother'.

With these thoughts im mind I went to my room. After taking a shower I wore my uniform and rechecked my school bag.

Before I leave my room I remember the necklace, I hesitated a little looking at the one leaf-clover hanging at the end, few memories started to come back, I had it for 5 years since I was 11 years old, In the end I took it, I have the feeling that I will need it.

Then I went down to the kitchen to eat breakfast, looking at my watch it's already 7 o'clock, the train arrives at half past 7, It take 15 to 20 minutes to reach the station, so I have ten minutes for breakfast, it's seems I need to make some adjustment to the morning schedule.

"You should stop your habit of over thinking, It will distract you from your surroundings, what will you do if you it got you into troubles?", It was the sound of mature lady.

I look inside the kitchen to see a young woman, her black hair was tied in braid in front of her left shoulder, she looked in her early thirties but I'm sure she's a little older than forty years old.

I walked into a "L" shape kitchen with a table in the middle and sit down.

"Good morning Hanami-san", I tried to dodge her question with a simple greeting.

She smiled and said, "Good morning Hiroto", It worked.

She took two plates in her hands, she put them in front of me and she took a sit in the other side of the table.

I started to eat quietly but I heard hanami-san talking to me, "I heard your talk with Suzu. It has been a year now but your relationship with her doesn't seem to improve".

"We're getting along well", I tried to deny her.

She made a gentle smile and said, "if you're talking as some business partner then yes, but I'm talking as family and as brother and sister".

I didn't know what to say, I didn't even look at her in the eyes, and start to eat.

She looked at my silently then she tried to keep the talk going by changing the topic and said, " today is your first day at the "New Dawn High School", how is your preparation?".

Just like Suzu, hanami-san knows when and how to ask the right questions.

I thought for a moment and said.

"Thank you".
