Hi, Yuko Mizuki is my name, loner and an outcast at our school. I can't get along with my classmates.
When I'm approaching them, it feels like they are keeping their distance from me.

"Did you hear about the girl from Class two-room three? they said she didn't even talk to anyone"
"What an outcast"
"scary"
"Tsk, that chick is a good-for-nothing."

Yuko was walking in the hallway, looking at the ground, and not bothered by the noise of the other student.
Then there is a group of female students Walking in front of her without noticing. She accidentally bumps her shoulder into one of them.
Yuko is hugging her diary very tight, looking at the girl with a frightened face. Yuko wants to apologize, and yet she can't say it.
"Oops, my bad, are you okay?"
"I wasn't looking at the way, so I bump into you," the female student said in a joyfully toned.
Yuko was so shy she tilts her head and then run away faster than she can.

"Yes, rumors say she's a weirdo."
"She even does some cursed to the students who try to come close to her."
"Maybe she will lift a curse or magic on you now" Her friends are laughing hysterically, excepts for Her.

"I like the new guy."
"He is so handsome."
"Hello there, Ms. Mizuki. I'm Akari nice to meet you." Akari waves his hand and a cheerful-toned. He wanted to change the atmosphere still Yuko is completely quiet. Yuko took her pen and started writing in her diary. It did not bother Akari but his curios about what Yuko is writing.

Students are starting to stand up, looking, and packing things. They are bringing out their lunch. Others are placing cardboard on the floor and sleep, making their self comfortable. On the other hand, a group of boys and girls is forming their desks like picnic tables. The room becomes a peaceful place. Because it is the right time for them to recharge and build their strength as the next subject will come after a short one-hour break.
Akari saw Yuko leave the room, walking with her lunch box."Hey, I'll go to the restroom, wait a sec.," Akari said to his friends
"Just hurry," His friend replied.
"Okay hehe," Then Akari immediately leaves the room.
=============
"What is she doing here?" Akari followed Yuko and wondering why Yuko is heading on the rooftop. "This is the place where she eats lunch?" He was so confused he started touching his forehead.
Akari saw Yuko was standing in front of the fence while watching the view suddenly the wind blows up. Akari was astonished when Yuko's hair uncovered the left side of her face.
"She's beautiful," Akari whispered.
When Yuko turned around, they got both eyes in contact. Yuko's glance had passed through Akari's eyes down to his heart.
"Oops" Akari immediately covered his lips with his hand. And hide at the back of the door. He could still feel the burning trail it had left behind. When he looks back, Yuko is already gone.
"Huh? Where is she? Where did she go?" "I think I scared her." That glimpse Akari felt, imprinted to his mind and heart, And there it glittered like a mysterious crystal. And in a strange and lovely way it hurts. Akari knew that he had never in his life seen anything so beautiful as Yuko's face.
==========
Akari went back to his room, and his friends started asking him:
"Why taking you so long," Worried voice
" Nothing, come let's eat," Akari replied
" You seemed very happy," His friend said.
"I am?" Akari feels like burning, and he started turning red from ears to cheeks.
"Your face is red. are you okay?" his friend was confused
"it's nothing haha," Akari is so shy and in denial. "Next time, I want to hear your voice." Akari loudly said to his mind, He cannot contain himself but to think of Yuko. Like a spear that bound to his heart.
The clock at Sakurai highschool struck one.

Few weeks have passed Akari gets along with his classmates. He was so popular even other sections know his name. Akari was kind, cheerful, a good listener, and optimistic. Those traits of Akari earn the respect of everyone.
In room three, students are enjoying the day.
"Akari, let's walk together after class and help me buy some stuff. I need to restock my ref," Maki said.
"Okay, once we are done shopping. Let me play games at your house too hahaha," Akari replied in a jolly tone.
"Okay, then see you later," Maki said, and he returns to his seat.
"Where is she?" Akari notices that Yuko is not around. "The class would be started soon," Akari in a worried voice.
===================
The class ended, and Maki approaches Akari.
"Oiiii" Maki was calling for Akari. "Akari, let's go. what are you looking for..." Maki with a confused expression. He saw Akari that he's down that time.
"Akari, are you okay? let's go home now the class ended." Maki in a Worried tone.
"H-huh" Akari was shaking his head, wondering what is happening in his surroundings. "Sorry, Maki, I was just thinking about something." Akari laughs unwillingly. "Let's go."
"You sure you okay?" Maki said in an anxious tone.
"Yeah, let us go buy stuff and play at your house!" Hyper mode Akari.
"Okay, let's buy some midnight snacks too" Maki was smiling.
"Yehey!" Akari in an overjoyed tone. They leave the room and went to the supermarket buying food and drinks Akari was guffing around while Maki was acted like a mother who's watching out for their kid.
They went to Maki's room to play video games, reading books, doing homework, and cooking dinner. Once they were done eating Maki washed the dishes while Akari was listening to pieces of music.
"I saw you looking at Mizuki's desk" Maki seats next to Akari."Do you know her?" Maki asked.
Akari removes his earphones but he didn't answer Maki's question. He started to roll both of his index fingers. Akari's cheek is turning into the color red.
"Are you serious?" Maki was shocked.
Then the room has gone quiet, but Akari changes the topic and opened the console. Akari handed the remote controller to Maki both of them play.
It's already midnight, they finished the game, and it's time for Akari to go home but before he leaves the place. "Maybe sometimes let us talk about Mizuki. okay?" Maki smiled at him.
"Are you serious? do you know her?" He's so thrilled about what he heard. In his mind, he wants to hug Maki.
"A little haha," Maki cried with laughter.
"Sure! let's do that sometimes hahaha," Akari replied
"See you soon bye-bye Maki, and thank you for the food hahaha bye!" Akari in a Joyful voice.
"Ohh, be careful on your way home" Maki was so happy that he saw Akari was so cheerful again.
While Akari was walking his way home and kept thinking about what Maki said about Yuko, Suddenly Yuko's face appeared in his mind that gives him a very joyous feeling.
