• I was speechless. I couldn't say anything, because I had this strange feeling that anything I said would offend him. Hiroyuki put his hand on mine. He opened his mouth to say something, but the teacher walked in, and what could've been a life-changing moment had just been ruined.

    Chapter Two

    I walked home from school alone. Kenji and Aoi didn't live near me, and I tried to avoid Hiroyuki like the plague. When I walked into my house, my mother was there to greet me.
    "How was your first day of school, darling?" she said.
    "Fine." I mumbled. I had decided not to tell her about the incident.
    "What's wrong?" she inquired.
    "Oh, nothing." I said as I ran to my room.
    The first thing I did when I got to my room was call Aoi. She was my best friend, and I had to make sure she wasn't mad at me for the 'incident' in class.
    "Hello?" she said.
    "Hey Aoi," I said, "Are you mad at me?"
    "No! Why would I?"
    "You know, I mean seriously, Aoi, I could hear your anger."
    She laughed. "Yeah, I was mad then, but it's cool."
    It's cool. Hiroyuki had said the same words. It's cool.
    "Hold on," I said. "I got another call."
    I didn't recognize the number. "Who is that?" I thought aloud. Hiroyuki...? I thought, almost hopefully. I picked up the phone, expecting Hiroyuki's voice.
    "Hello?" I said.
    "Hi!" A shrill, high pitched voice said.
    "Who is this?" I asked, confused.
    "Nii-chan told me not to call you but-THIS IS FOR MY COOKIE! Sorry, I called you anyway but- OWWW!!"
    There was a moment of silence before I heard another voice.
    "Hello?" I said, once again.
    "I'm so, so, so sorry Rumiko." said Hiroyuki.
    I had a mini spazz attack on the other side of the phone. Hiroyuki? Why is he calling me? I thought. Who cares? That thought lingered in my head for a while.
    "Er... Its okay." I stuttered.
