Weekend has passed, and it is a beginning of a new week. Morning came as the start of a new day. Sayuri woke up and then do her daily routine. Afterwards is the time to go to the university. As she got out of her apartment room, there, she saw Hayato about to go out as well.

“-Err.. Should I greet him? What should I do, hmmmmm.” Sayuri thought at first, hesitating if she should greet him or not. But unknown by Sayuri, Hayato suddenly took the initiative to greet her. He bowed, and then Sayuri bowed back. After Sayuri bowed back, Hayato, instead of doing what he usually does, teasing Sayuri, he just walked away. Walking away without saying a word to Sayuri, she was left there thinking, at the same time surprised.

“-Still in a bad mood, I see. Well this is good enough for me. I can live in peace if he keeps staying that way. But I wish not for too long, that might be bad for him. I wonder what happened.” Sayuri showing a worried face with a mixed feeling of relief while watching Hayato walk farther, thought of it.

As Sayuri left their apartment, she went straight to the university. There in the university while walking, she bumped into someone familiar, again, due to overthinking on recalling her last lectures last week as a review while walking.

“I-I’m sorry!” says the person she bumped into.

“Wait, you’re the girl from the other day. Am I right?” Sayuri smiling from astonishment, asked as the person she bumped into looked at her.

“Y-yes! I-I am!” The tiny girl suddenly blushed as she then again met with the beautiful girl that helped her.

Help support creative writers by finding and reading their stories on the original site.

“-She really is cute!” Sayuri thought in her head.

“I never knew you’d be studying here too.” Sayuri said while bowing to her as a sign of greeting.

“Ye-yes! I.. I just started studying here this spring!” The girl answered Sayuri bowing back.

“Ooh. A freshman, I see.” Sayuri said.

“Y-yes…” The girl nervously answered, blushing out of embarrassment.

“-She really is a shy girl, so adorable!” Sayuri then again thought.

“May I ask your name then?” Sayuri asking the tiny girl while smiling gently.

“My.. My name is Kochiyama Yoko! N-nice to meet you!” She answered Sayuri.

“My name’s Hiraka Sayuri. Nice to meet you too.” Sayuri answered her, giving out a smile.

Sayuri giving out a smile made the people walking around them stare at her, being beautiful and all.

“-She really is beautiful. Hiraka-san, that is!” Yoko told herself I mind.

After they greeted each other and introduced themselves, Sayuri then looked into her watch.

“Oh my. Looks like it’s about time to go to my morning lecture now. See you later, Kochiyama-san.” Sayuri smiling, she then bowed to say goodbye for the meantime to Yoko. Yoko then smiled back and bowed as well to Sayuri.

After Sayuri got away, some friends of Yoko called out to her as well,.

“Yoko-chan! Good morning!” Some friends of Yoko greeted her.

“Good morning..” She answered.

“Hey Yoko-chan! Are you friends with her? Hiraka Sayuri?” They asked Yoko.

“Oh, Hiraka-san?” She answered.

“Yes! I think she is the most famous person in her year! The 2nd Year class I mean!” They told Yoko.

“R-really? She’s a 2nd year?” Yoko out of embarrassment, answered.

“Yeah! She’s a very kind, gentle, smart and beautiful Senpai! Am I right?!” They giggled with a mixed feeling of admiration to Sayuri.

“Yeah!” Yoko answered them.

“-So she was a 2nd year, a senpai to be precise. I want to be friends with her!” Yoko thought as she was smiling while walking with her friends.
