I always remember the first day I met her.
As a student in the 1st-grade B class of Hanakura High School, I was supposed to rush to school as usual, but by a strange accident, I came to a quiet road that I never used to go through.
Then I saw her, a girl with long pink hair and a fair face, standing under the cherry petals flying all over the sky...
She stared at an exceptionally brilliant cherry tree in a daze, and then, as if to brush off the cherry blossoms, she slowly turned her head and Her eyes met mine...
But after just looking at each other for two seconds, I turned away unnaturally...
My heartbeat speeded up, and the nervous feeling came again! Sure enough, I still couldn't face a girl naturally. After all, I haven't had any experience with girls since I was born.
"I am really lucky to see the cherry blossoms in full bloom... However, although cherry blossoms are beautiful, it will only bloom for a few days..."
Is she talking to me? She is looking at this side, so I guess she is probably speaking to me, right?
No, no, no. I shouldn't have a preconceived notion. How can such a beautiful girl talk to such an ordinary boy like me?
— Because being looked at with a very disgusted look when trying to talk to a girl without permission was a terrible experience; once was already enough.
But, I had a strange feeling that I would regret it for the rest of my life if I just walked away, pretending like I didn't hear anything...
Besides— On this remote road that was hardly used by anyone, at this time, there was no other person except us.
If she wasn't talking to me, this girl would be too abnormal — alone on the cherry blossom road saying such sentimental words...
"... so people say 'Cherry Blossom Seven Days'. Now they're just beginning. However, we don't have to be sad for the cherry blossom because even if the cherry blossom falls, it will bloom again this time next year... right?"
——While I was still hesitating, she carried on.
Since there were questions, how matter how I looked at it, she was talking to me, right?
The opportunity to wash away the past shame has arrived! Observe, I will lead the topic to good development in just two sentences!
"Yeah.... yeah. Cherry blossoms are really great. Even if they will eventually wither, they still persist in blooming.."
Ah! What the hell was I saying...
It stood to reason that if a beautiful girl took the initiative to talk, anyone would be able to have a smooth conversation with the girl.
Thinking from another perspective, if I were the other party, I would not continue the conversation...
It's over. I could almost imagine the look of disgust in her eyes... It must be no different than it was in the past.
"Are you also a student at Hanakura High School?"
"Ah? ? ? Ah... Yes."
I looked at my High School uniform and nodded instinctively.
She smiled at me.
I actually continued the conversation with her? I almost burst into tears. For the first time in 18 years, a pretty girl actually took the initiative to talk to me and continued the conversation...!
She is simply... an angel! Yes! An angel who gives people spiritual salvation!
"Great! We might be schoolmates then!"
Hearing my answer, her body turned to me in a slightly exaggerated movement, during which her skirt fluttered in a beautiful curve. Her cuteness was off the chart. I felt my heart beat faster like never before... such a cute schoolgirl was actually chatting with me?
It felt like I was dreaming...
But what do schoolmates mean though? She wasn't wearing any school uniform, just a white dress.
Was she...
"Ah, it's too late! I have some other things to do. Goodbye~"
She looked at her watch. Waved to me, turned, and ran towards the school.
"Is that so? I haven't asked your..."
She could no longer hear my voice ...
I didn't get a chance to ask her name yet, let alone her contact number...
However... chatting with a girl to this extent, I really outdid myself today.
Up to now, my mind was still blank. I was surprised that I could still keep the logic to chat with her.
Of course, even if I didn't know her name, I had a hunch that I would meet this pink angel again...
