it was graduation day. I saw her about to the exit the school with her friends but I gathered my courage to chase her and to finally ask....
I dont usually run just to go to school but on this day my alarm clock decided to troll me hence making me late. To make things even worse I bumped with one of my classmate earlier. She looked so emberresed saying sorry then leaving.
I ran so fast that I made it to school just by running for 7 minutes straight but it did made me breath heavily for over 1 but keeping the feeling of tiredness away I started walking towards my classroom I then went ahead to open the door but an arm also reach for the handle it was Mio the classmate whom I bumped into earlier.
"Uh-um Mio right?"
"Ye-yea"
"I'm sorry for bumping with you earlier I was panicking so hard that I didn't notice you when I was passing that corner."
"Oh about that you don't have to say sorry for that I was also too distracted to dodge you so I guess that makes us even, anyway. I'm going in now ok?"
"O-ok."
Thinking about it. This is the first time I ever talk to her but while my mind was fantisizing a feeling of weight got felt in my shoulder it was my teacher making me enter the classroom. It was a pretty scary experience.
The last subject before lunch finally ended and me who was pretty hungry didn't even wait for my friends to come back and just started eating my lunch but despite everyone leaving Mio is left eating alone it was always like this even on second year I'll eat first then Mio is left alone eating but it's because she wasn't popular but she always insist on eating inside the classroom while her friends eat at the cafeteria. I always wanted to ask her why but my body stops me.
But I guess this girl wants to try something new today because she pushed the table and chair towards my table to sit next to me she then started eating like normal and of course suprised with what just happened I blushed she notices this and offer me an egg roll seemingly trying to catch my attention I denied the offer but she shoves the egg to my mouth anyways.
an encounter that weird is definitely convincing me that there's something wrong today.
"Oy taro you look pretty tired did something happened."
"Yea taro you look pretty tired."
"Ah don't worry about it. It's nothing just some really weird encounter."
"Uh..ok class is starting anyway."
It's finally the end of the day. The best part of the whole day.
"Hey guys is it nice being a cleaner."
"Yea you better wait cause it's your turn tomorrow."
"Yea can't wait."
As I reach the exit a hand holded my arm to stop me. It was Mio holding some plastic filled with different ice cream. She was there to invite me to go to a park.
I can't believe this girl invited a normal guy like me
"So we just went here to eat some ice cream?"
"Yup"
"You know you could've just asked your friends for this."
"I don't want to. they can't even stay with me at lunch."
"So you're considering them fake"
"Not fake but I am experiencing floater freind effect on them."
"Oh the everyones freind but no one's favorite?"
"Yup also good for you for not experiencing it."
"Yea I'm pretty lucky with my friends. Wait I always wanted to ask this um why do you choose to eat in the classroom instead of eating with your friends?"
"Uh well it's because of you. Let's just say I have picked an interest with you since second grade"
"Interest?"
Interest a word that could have so many meaning I wonder why she chose that word.
(Ring! Ring!)
Another day huh? Looking at the clock it was pretty early definitely a time for students to get prepared.
I walk while carrying a feeling of weirdness a feeling. a normal feeling a guy expecting an interesting thing to happen. I guess what happened yesterday made me want to feel it again cause talking to her is fun but passing the corner on where I bumped heads with her I just gave up on the idea.
Going to school this early is weird there's almost no people in sight but when I entered my classroom I saw a beautiful figure looking out the window it was Mio, on that moment I fell in love with her.
....
"And son that was the first time I ever fell in love with someone."
"But dad where is she now? And was she really that special to you?"
"Yes she's really special to me without her I'm pretty sure the happiest things that happened on my life will never happened and you really thought I was talking about someone no no I'm talking about your mom ok?"
"Wait so it was mom can you tell me more!"
"Ok ok but just a little more ok"
