Chapter 4 - Memories

"I can't wait to go to school."

[ Flashback ]

What is there to enjoy about school anyways, I just don't want to be in that place. I can't stand it. I can't take it.

I used to really dislike going to school. I wonder why.

school is a place where you learn, it is also a place where you create friends, and with your friends you grow together, have fun together,

and cherish each memory you make.

However I am not fortunate like everyone else, no one dared to approach me, nobody wanted to be my friend.

I was always alone at breaktimes, nobody dared share their notes whenever I was falling behind. Everyone had their own group of friends and I. well I was there standing all by myself, fending for myself.

One day a transferee came she was weird, weird as hell. Although she was weird, she was beautiful. Incomparable to any girl that I have met.

I was frozen in place witnessing her beauty.

"You're such an angel," I whispered under my breathe

She came to me and my heart wanted to jump out of my chest. "Hey, what's your name" she asked.

Her voice echoed in my head. Even her voice was just like an angel singing the melodies of heavenly principles.

"My name is Haru. What about yours?" My cheeks redden as this was the very first time someone approached me and asked my name.

She grinned at me and crossed her arms, "Emi, that's my name. You better remember that, because you will be my friend forever!" She said while happily grinning from ear to ear.

I was taken aback by her claim. "You? going to be my friend? That's Ridiculous! Hahahahaha!" I laughed happily for this was the first time someone said something so surprising.

"Gladly, I shall be your friend," I added.

"Rejoice, for I Emi will be your partner forever!"

Surprised by what had been said, I couldn't dare look her in the eye for I was too embarassed.

"To be your partner forever, is a little too much isn't it?Emi."

I blushed, still embarrassed from what had been said.

[ End of Flashback ]

I went to school still dwelling in the past, her memory still fresh. As if everything were yesterday.

I listened through out the discussion but I couldn't avoid fixating my eyes on Emi.

"Hey dumbass, why are you looking at me?" she giggled.

"Is that how you should adress your friend?" I jested.

"Since when did you became my friend, dumbass." she replied smiling and putting on faces at me.

I stopped for a moment and reflected, "since when did I get so chummy with this woman, I wonder."

I smiled at her and wrote her back a message, "Hey, after class lets go home together. I have something to tell you."

Reading the message her face turned to a flash of red. She was astonished and strung, to her the message meant something else.

Class ended and she was tense. She does not know what to expect. All she knew was she needs to know what Haru wants to say.

"Looks like class ended huh?"

"Yeah, Its finally time to go home and finally i won't be able to see your sorry face." she giggled

"Why you little shit"

We both laughed together, seems like we were already close enough to joke around each other and argue.

I looked in her eyes and smiled, "Lets go home Emi."

"Mhm, Lets go home Haru."

We walked together slowly into our destination, and on the way we passed by the swing.

"Hey Emi, has anyone ever pushed you on the swing?"

she shookt her head, "No, nobody hasn't."

"When I was a child I used to play with a girl here, she was the most beautiful girl that I have seen."

"oh yeah? she must have been your crush wasn't she?" she pouted.

"no it wasn't like that, she was just so nice to me like you are."

she crossed her arms forming a letter X. "No no no, since when am I Nice to you? never! no no no"

"yes you are, you're different from everyone. You became special to me."

"Can you repeat that please?"

"the you are different from everyone?"

"no not that one" she replied

"You're special to me..."

her face reddens and she looks at me, "Do you mean it?"

"yes, yes I mean it"

i pushed her on the swing while we conversed. her cheeks is still red from embarassment, "You're a strange person you know that? You're always so straightforward..."

"Oh, am I now? I never noticed" i chuckled nervously.

"Yeah, I mean I don't really dislike that about you. It's just that you're so aggressive and you keep making me embarassed."

oh god did i do something to upset her and embarass her.

"You better take responsibility to whatever happens next, Haru."

"Oh yeah? Then I will, come at me whenever you like."

we giggled together feeling the comfort of each other's presence. we went home feeling great and since then she was always in my mind.
