After a sudden call from Ayase, I got a text message from Senior Kei. “Kira, are you busy?”
I replied quickly, sending, “Not at the moment, Senior. What’s up?”
Kei didn’t replied, but a call popped in the screen of my phone. Picking it up, I answered. “Hello, Senior?”
“Ah, Kira…” from the other line, a gleeful voice surged in.
“What’s up, Senior Kei?” I asked. I leaned on my chair while holding my phone.
“Well, this coming weekend, do you want to watch fireworks with me? Also, if it’s fine with you, can Kagome come with us?”
“Huh? Well, sure… I don’t have plans this weekend.” I answered. Kei giggled from my answer. I smile as well while hearing her.
“Great! I’ll go tell her about it.”
“All right.”
We became quiet right after. There aren’t things I want to talk about her. Shit, this isn’t expected call as well. “Say, Kira…”
“Huh?”
“Can I see your face?”
“Hmmm… If that’s okay with you?”
“Yeah, it’s fine. More like, I want to see you right now.”
That line got me almost tumbled up. Seriously, this girl. I let off my phone from my ear and clicks the camera icon on the screen. At the moment, Kei does same thing and we see each other right away.
“Hi.” she smiles. Wearing a thread spaghetti linen shirt underneath with a sweater, her figure clearly shown. Her hair tied up in ponytail, showing the curve of her neck.
That captured me off. I gasped out of surprise as I see her. She’s totally pretty right now. Leaning her back at the head notch of her bed, she seemed totally relaxed.

“I just got off the bat right now.” she added.
“I-I see.” I answered. The way she looks right now is an eye candy. “What about you? What are you doing?”
“Huh? Me? Well… I was just reading some books. But it’s not that interesting.”
I lied. I wasn’t doing anything right now.
“Really? So you like reading books?”
“Yeah, sort of…”
That made her show an interest. Her eyes sparkle after hearing my answer. “So, what kind of books you usually read? Well, if you asked me… I am a fan of Light Novels, with a genre of fantasy and romance.”
“Really? I do also read Light Novels! But most of the genres I like are adventure, fantasy… with a bit of romance?”
Kei giggled on my reply. “So you like a bit of romance, huh?”
“Well, I do. I’m not much of a fan of romance genre thing. Better mix it with action and comedy.”
“Yeah, you’re right; stories with a bit pack of action and comedy is a good mix. And thank you, for sharing a wonderful thing about yourself.”
Kei’s face blushes as she show a sincere smile at me. I got blushed as well and looked away for a bit.
“You know, I want to talk with you like this for a bit. It feels like we’re together right now.”
I agree. When we’re facing like this, I feel like she’s just sitting beside me. “And I want to know more about you, Kira. What are the other hobbies you like?”
“Hobbies of mine? Well, when I was a kid, way back in grade school, I learned to play guitar.”
“Really?!”
Kei’s voice suddenly exclaimed after my words. “Yeah, but I seldom playing the guitar now…”
That was when I was in my original body. I bet this one doesn’t have a skill, though.
“Let me hear you sometime. Oh, I know… since we’re seeing fireworks this weekend, I want to hear you play a guitar.”
“Really? You want? But I doubt I have one here—oh…”
I remembered. One time I went to my elder sister’s room to get something, I saw a guitar. Maybe I should borrow it sometime?
“I remember my sister has a guitar. I will borrow it.”
“Aha! I’m looking forward to see you playing.” Kei giggled again. Whenever I see her giggling, it’s as if everything sparks. She’s cute and a beauty… and just right now, I feel like she’s by my side.
“Another thing I learned from you, Kira.”
“Ah, yeah… and I also learned something from you as well.”
“Huh? About what…?”
“That you look cuter whenever you smile, Senior Kei.” I blurt out. Yeah, to be honest, I slowly am getting attracting to her. And that made Kei screamed and ended up the call.
I chuckled while shaking my head lightly.
A few seconds past, a message came to my phone. Opening it, a popped “That’s not fair!” shown on my screen.
“Yeah, it really is not fair.” I mumbled and sighs deeply. Since that day that I confronted her, everything in me has slowly changed.
These feelings, the uncertain feelings I have for her gradually grows. Yet, I want to stay to what we are now. I want to confirm further about these feelings. If these are a real deal, I will tell her how I feel.
But right now, I want to stay the things we have right now.
