I'm walking to school alone, huh?
It's been a while since I've walked alone... Haruka always joins me...
I let out a sigh and continued walking towards the path I usually take.
...Suddenly
"Hey!"
I get slapped in the back by an unidentified person. As a result, I stumble and fall.
On the floor, I look up to see who pushed me... It's Haruka... wait, it's Haruka!
"What are you doing here? I thought you left earlier than me." I asked.
I left the dorm by myself because I thought Haruka already left.
"No, stupid! I just went out to buy some snacks! I accidentally ate them all last night while I watched a movie. Hehe!" Haruka giggled. Her giggling put me at ease. It's still the same Haruka...
"Now what were you thinking about? You looked so gloomy?" Haruka pulled me back up on my feet and asked.
"Oh, nothing. Just thinking about my hometown." I said. I really don't want her to know my real thoughts...
"Ah! Now that you mention it, we haven't really talked to each other about where we moved from!" Haruka said.
"Oh yeah..." I said.
"Let's talk about it as we walk to school!" she said as she starts walking.
"Wait, aren't you gonna walk with Yuji?" I asked.
"Isn't that what boyfriend and girlfriend do?" the clueless Akari asked.
That's how it goes in shoujo manga right? They start dating, then they shyly walk together, right? What?
Haruka laughed and said "Oh, dear child... Haha!"
Was I wrong about my observations?
"Not all relationships are like that. Some are chill like me and Yuji's. He has his friends, I have mine, right?" she said.
"Ohhhh, okay!" I said.
I don't really get it but at least I get to walk with someone.
Haruka and I continued walking to school but I was stopped by my fellow club members.
"Hey! What's up?!" Kana and Hotaru waved to me.
"Oh, who are those? Your new club members?" Haruka asked.
"Oh yeah, that's Kana and Hotaru." Immediately after saying that, the pair posed exactly the same way back when we met.
"Hello! Akari already said our names but we'll repeat it! I'm Kana Sayuri! Call me Kana please!" Kana said.
"I'm Hotaru! Nice to meet one of Akari's friends!" Hotaru followed.
"Hey y'all! Nice to meet you! Akari, I didn't know you had so many friends!" Haruka teased me about it.
Are three friends already a lot? Man, I must be popular! Haha...
After the odd introductions, my friends and I agree to hang out after school.
"psst, Akari!" Haruka whispered during class.
"You think I can join your club? I already got my man. So I don't need the astronomy club anymore. Hehe!" Haruka asked.
This girl...
"Alright, settle down, class." Ms. Aiko finally decided to start class after being 8 minutes into classes...
