Lunchtime

When I'm about to eat my lunch,

Katsura

And then he sits next to me

Katsura

Let me introduce myself. My name is Katsura Akimoto. Nice to meet you.

Araki

Nice to meet you too, Katsura.

Katsura

So Araki, right?

Araki

Yeah?

Katsura

Araki

Well I like anime and games. I'm just a typical introvert.

Katsura

Interesting. Well I also like anime. What a coincidence.

Araki

Really?

Katsura

Yes. So what is your favorite anime?

Araki

Hmm. There's a lot.

Katsura

Just say one.

Araki

I guess it would be Jujutsu Kaisen.

Katsura

Ohh interesting choice.

Katsura

I personally like action anime so Jujutsu Kaisen is not bad.

Araki

I see

We talk a lot about anime until we didn't notice that lunchtime almost over.

Katsura

Oh lunchtime almost over. I better go back to my place. Anyway it fun talking to you.

Araki

Yeah.

Katsura goes back to his place.

Manami

*glance*

Uneasy feeling

After school

Araki

Well there's nothing I can do now. I guess I just go home.

Katsura

Oi! Let's go home together.

Araki

Eh?

Katsura

By go home I mean let's hang out.

Araki

You sure?

Katsura

Yeah why not?

Araki

Ok sure.

Katsura and I hang out together. He shows me a lot of places.

Katsura

Araki

Katsura

I wave at him

Araki

Oh my train is here also.

A few weeks later

I'm just talking with Katsura and then

*clack*

Once the door open, the whole class stop talking

Araki

This always happened.

Katsura

Right. Well it's kinda like everyone routine.

Araki

Yeah, you're right. I mean she is beautiful so no wonder they get stunned by it.

Katsura

Yeah.

Katsura

Ah teacher is coming in. Let's talk later.

Araki

Yeah.

Manami

*glance*

Lunchtime

Katsura once again eat lunch with me.

While we're eating,

Araki

There's something bothering me.

Katsura

Hmm? What is it?

Araki

Well lately, I feel like someone watching me. I don't know who but I can feel it.

Katsura

Ehh? That's weird.

And we continue eating and talking about other things.

After school

At the shoe locker

I open my shoe box and something fell of the box.

Araki

Hmm? A letter?

I open the letter and it says,

Dear Araki, If possible, please come to the rooftop now.

Araki

There's no name on it. I wonder who wrote it.

I come to the rooftop as promise.

I open the door and,

Manami

So you come.

Unexpected confession

Araki

Is it you that wrote the letter?

Manami

Yes, I am.

Araki

So is there anything you want to tell me?

Manami

Yeah. Well actually----

What is this? A confession? That can't be. She's the prettiest girl in class. Why would she confess to me?

Manami

Well umm actually I.... kinda like you a bit.

Araki

Ehh?

Manami

Well it's like love in first sight.

What is this. She's really confessing to me. But why?

Araki

Well umm what kind of thing do you like about me?

Manami

Your face. I think your face is kinda cute.

She said that with a straight face. Which is impressive.

Araki

I-I see.

Manami

So is it okay for us to date each other?

Araki

I mean I barely know you so how about we started as friend first.

Araki

And then I'll think about it again. Is that okay?

Manami

Yeah. I guess it just too soon for us to be a couple.

Araki

Yeah. But it doesn't mean I turn you down though. I just want to get to know you better first.

Manami

Okay. I understand.

Manami

Oh look at the time. I need to go shopping. See you tomorrow.

Araki

Yeah see ya.

I wave at her.

And she bow at me.

Araki

Wow who expected that? Getting confessed by the prettiest girl.

Katsura

That's very impressive you know.

Araki

Whoa! I thought you go home already.

Katsura

Well yeah. And then I noticed I forgot something so I went back here.

Katsura

And then I see you went upstair rushing.

Katsura

So I decided to follow you.

Araki

How sneaky can you be?

Katsura

Hehe.

The next day

Lunchtime

Something unexpected happens

Manami

Here. Your lunchbox.

She handed me a homemade lunchbox

Manami

I noticed that you not eating that well so I prepare something more nutritious for you.

Well that's true. I usually eat rice and some side dishes

Araki

You sure?

Manami

Yeah. Take it.

Araki

Oh thank you.

I open the box and there's a lot of food in here. It just a small amount but it multiple type

Araki

Wow there's a lot.

Manami

Araki

Alright. Thanks for the food.

I took a bite

Araki

Wow! This is delicious.

Manami

Really. I'm glad.

I just can't stop eating it. It's too delicious.

Manami goes back to her place with a big smile on her face.
