Jiro-kun ,what are you doing there crying? You are such a crybaby.

*Alarm rings*

Ahh...its morning already .What a strange dream ?I didn't even realize when I felt asleep.

*yawns*

I'm still sleepy.Ughh.. my back hurts.How was I even sleeping?

Oi Kizoku.Did he already leave?

Ha...*stretches arm* I don't feel like going to school today.Should I skip school today,its just one day so I don't think its a big problem.And  I'm still sleepy.

Is there anything in the kitchen?Oh there's a note here.

Reminder

-To Eiji

Eiji.....I have made you some breakfast and kept it in the fridge. I tried to wake you up but you were sound asleep, so i am going ahead of you. And one more thing.......If you come later or skip school today.....I will kill you

-From Kizoku

From any angle ,it looked like a threat letter than reminder letter to me.*sighs* looks like skipping school is 'no' for today. I ate my breakfast and got ready for the school.

By the way the neighbour who came over yesterday wasn't Kizoku saying they were from Uyehara family.Then there's a possibility that Seira belongs to them.But she said she didn't know me before and Kizoku said we've known them since old days.What the hell is happening?Or was it a dream?

Yeah,it must be my imagination.I got to worked up on finding the girl from the locket that I'm imagining strange things.

When did it got this late? Oh crap its nearly school time.Kizoku is going to kill me .

As I was running  I took a glance at the name's plate of our new neighbour.

'Uyehara', so he was telling the truth. But I don't have time to think about it.

As I was running down the road a girl dash past me.

That girl is wearing the uniform of my school and god damn she looks beautiful from the back.I wonder what see looks like from the front.But she looked kinda similar...like someone I have met already...that long black hair and the figure...hmm... she looks like Seira .I tried catching up with her but the thing was...

How the hell is she so fast or am I just too slow? I don't know if she's actually her but I'll try calling her name.

From the top of my lungs I shouted her name

SEIRA...SEIRA.

She turned around. Jackpot it was her .

Can you wait for me?

Eiji, what are you doing here isn't it already late.

Says the person who is in front of me.

I just overslept today idiot.

How am I a idiot now?

Don't you have anything but to complain about little things? We don't have time for that we are going to be late. Let's hurry.

Stolen novel; please report.

Can you hear me out for a second? I have something to ask.

A question? We are going to be late so I'll get to it later. Let's go.

She grabs my hand and starts running off.

I don't know how but we made it in time.

As we were walking along the hallway most of the boys and even some girls were staring at us.The main reason was...Seira was still holding my hands.

Umm...Seira you are still holding my hand.

Oh sorry... *leaves my hand and blushes* I...I didn't mean to do that.

No..no *blushes* not that I mind but as you can see the situation is getting kinda... awkward.

*She realizes that she is creating a commotion*

Sorry!! *she shouted as she ran embarrassed*

Ehhh...

Well it can't be helped, I would have done the same if I was put in that situation anyway.

As I entered the classroom, Yosuke strangled me.

You bastard...walking together with Seira-chan. What are you, her boyfriend now? I'm so jealous...take that...

Stop it. I give up.*coughs* It's not like that. It's just I met her on the way.

Oh, then that's okay. Sorry for strangling you.

Don't say sorry right after strangling me to death.

I said sorry, didn't I? Alright back to the seats ,the class is going to start.

 The regular boring classes began sometimes I think who the hell invented school. If I ever had a time machine I would go to the time when school was invented and strangle him to death. It is so idiotic but fun to think about.

Finally, the bell rang. The boring classes are over .It was lunch break. I was deciding what I was going to have for my lunch but then a commotion started at the class door.

Eiji...Eiji...

Did I just heard someone calling my name or was I imagining? As I turned my heard around everyone was giving me deadly stare.

*A chill ran through my spine*

EIJI!!!

Woah what the hell. That surprised me and not only me everyone was surprised.

Haa... Seira. What is she doing here? No wonder all the guys are crowding around the door. I need to do something about it.

I approached her and grabbed her hand.

"Let's go". We ran round the hallway to the roof.

Why did you take me to the roof?  I didn't know that you were this aggressive, Eiji.

Because this is the only place where we can be free from others. Anyway why did you even come to the class?

Ahh...about that. Here take this .

*She hands me a box wrapped in a cloth*

What is it?

Look at it yourself.

I opened the box to find out that it was a home-made lunch. If I remember correctly she did say that she would make a lunch box.

Oh ,it's sweet and sour pork with plum flavoured rice. As I took a bite of it. I felt nostalgic. It felt like I have eaten this food before.Then a strange feeling came to my mind...

Yum... your pork is as good as ever, Sei-chan. I love this.

If you want it, I can make it for you everyday, Jiro-kun.

Really? Then it's a  promise.

Yeah...it's a promise.

What was that just now?

A promise to feed sweet and sour pork everyday...

*Seira drops her chopstick *

You remember it?

Remember what?

Ah...it's nothing I was just talking to myself. Don't mid it.

As I looked at her face, she was happy as well as shocked. And what the hell came into my mind back then. Who was that girl even? Well whatever...

Say Seira...is it true that you have shut down every boy who has ever confessed to you? If true, is there any specific reason?

Yes , it is true but how did you know that? You have just transferred here.

Well there are some desperate people around here who idolizes you. So it's no surprise to know about it. So why is it? Is there someone you like?

Yeah, sort of...do you want to hear me out?

Well yeah if you want to talk about it.

Ahaha... it's nothing serious...

The thing is I used to and still have a boy who I love. He was nothing extraordinary just a normal boy; a childhood friend. I used to be shunned by all of the girls in my class. They thought that I always tried to act cute around boys which definitely wasn't my intention. But what was I supposed to do I was too shy to talk to boys and in their eyes it looked like I was trying to attract boys. So no one talked to me and I had no friends. But he was the only one true friend I had and will ever have. But what I loved about him was that he was very caring. When I was crying, he would always come and take me to a lot of places to lighten up my mood. Somewhere along the line, I fell in love with him. I wanted to confess to him but I was afraid that it would break our fragile friendship. When I was around him, my heart felt warm...like comfortable and there was always a smile in my face. I felt secure in his presence. But then one day, my parents decided to move out of the town. I was against it but I couldn't stop it. At the last meeting I gave him a gift as a momento of our friendship.

Pretty boring, isn't it?

No...no...it isn't. But a life without friends can pretty hard. I can't imagine about it. Do you want to see him again?

Yeah... if I could I would but I'm satisfied as it is. You see time changes people and it's inevitable, he may not even remember about me. He may be sitting in front of me or miles away as long as I know that we're living under the same sky I'm happy with it and his warmth is always treasured in my heart.

She was the cutest girl while she was confessing about her love. A cool breeze came and fluttered her long dark hair. Now she looked even more beautiful and cute.I blushed just looking at her.

Why are you blushing? I should be the one to blush.

No I'm not I was just thinking about something.

Oh...well anyway eat your lunch now or it will get cold.

Oh ,I nearly forgot about it.

I looked at her face she was blushing and was turning red like a tomato. she looked so cute well that's the beauty of a maiden in love,I guess...

Mmhh.. it's so delicious. You could make a really good wife someday,Seira.

Good wife...ehh... what are you saying, idiot Eiji? Hmph*she turn around*

Did I just said something I shouldn't have?

I just responded with a smile.

The lunch break finished and we went to our classes.

While the classes were running Yosuke poked me.

Oie, Eiji. I heard Seira-chan visited you during the lunch break, is that true?

Yeah, she did.But it was only because she asked me to help her in the students' council work.

Obviously I couldn't tell him I was having lunch with her.

Ohh.. is that so, sorry.By the way wanna hit the arcade after the school hours?

Sorry, I wanna have a rest for today. Next time okay.

Well it can't be helped then.

I'm really sorry, Yosuke.

The rest of the classes ended without me realizing it.80% of it was that I was sleeping in most of the classes and the rest was because I was constantly thinking about Seira. Isn't she too caring for a person she just met?Well not that I'm sad about it but it's strange considering how she is also the one who rejected all the boys. Seira Uyehara...'Uyehara' from the name plate I saw in the morning. Oh crap I totally forgot to ask her the main question...Ahhh...well there's always tomorrow...

Just who are you, Seira Uyehara?
