The new boy

Miyoko Hazegawa:

"8th May 2018,Kaede was absent,as expected I had to shout out Naoko's name in the class to return her notebook.

And a new boy joined our school today ,his name was Kazou Arakaki ,and we even talked during break since we were the only one in class,thanks to you Kaede you had to be absent.

I had to show him around the school though I couldn't introduce anyone to him, he must've thought that something is wrong with me,his face says it all.But luckily Rumiko introduced herself to him and she introduced him to everyone in class.I was saved,I'll have to thank Rumiko for this."

Today is the 9th of May, I had a dream of the boy I saved,again. I woke up,got dressed ate my breakfast and went to school. I told Kaede what happened yesterday,she was so excited to see him, I couldn't remember his looks not until I will see him again and I told her about the awkward moments that happened.When he was starting at a girl for so long and I couldn't even tell him her name and I just sat there quietly and also started staring at the girl trying to remember her name.

My best friend laughed all the way to school and I couldn't help but to laughed along with her.

Before entering the class, Kadea pointed at the new boy who was sitting quietly surrounded by a few boys.

"what was his name?" She asked.I guickly went through my dairy to check for his name and said,"Kazou Arakaki."

All of a sudden Kaede's face were red and excitedly said to me,"He's soo handsome,you guys would be perfect for each other."

I hit her on the head and said,"Don't say stupid things,he just came yesterday we don't want to scare him on his first day and besides I wouldn't even be able to remember his name."

We went to sit at our desk,I sit next to the window besides him and Kaede sits next to him.

I introduced Kaede to him so that he wouldn't think that I am a loner. I was surprised to know that he knew Kaede and was more surprised that he knew me.

Maybe I forgot about him, maybe I met him on the streets somewhere, I kept thinking but I couldn't remember.

Then some boy called him and he went.

I quickly pulled Kayde aside and asked,"How come he knows us?"."You don't remember right, your face is saying it all."she teases me ,"He was a student here before ,we used the sit in a same class but then he went to study abroad because of his father's work."

"But how come I don't remember, I would have remember him if he was my friend."I said.

"That's because he wasn't ,he was a rich kid and still is and was very famous back then and still is, look at him surrounded by the students like he's some celebrity ,he was a bully and he used to bully you back then and you hated him since that time."she said.

That explains why he kept on saying sorry to me yesterday but how come I don't remember him.

I was lost in thoughts. But then Rumiko, my other friend, called me.I have three friends Rumiko,Naoko and my best friend Kaede.I remember their names and how they looked because I have pictures of them with their names written below at the back of my dairy as for Kaede I don't have to because she is special to me that I couldn't forget her she is more than my best friend more like a family member.

So,Rumiko called to ask me whether we'll eat lunch together but I didn't bring my lunch today so I guess I'll have to buy from the canteen today along with kaede she never brings her lunch that is because she has a crush on the canteen boy.

He is just a few years older then her, pretty much all the girls have a crush on him but Kaede is different, one day she went and confessed to him,obviously she got rejected but she continued to ask him out out.

For some time she stopped, she heard some rumors saying that he was dating some other girl outside school but eventually they broke up and she continued asking him out, that day was the happiest day of her life I remember the look on her face when she heard the news that they broke up with each other.

So, we went to the canteen and I was surprised to see that the canteen was less crowded today maybe because of the new boy,which was good for us and especially Kaede,she said to me,"This is my chance,he wont reject me this time since most of the girls are not interested in him anymore thanks to that new boy ,let's hurry before it gets crowded again." She rushed to the canteen.

It was always awkward for me when she asked him out everytime,like last time she recited a love quote from a famous author,I couldn't remember what it was but it was very cocky, the boy just ignored her and stared at me strangely.I wonder what she we will say this time.

So, we were standing at the counter and the boy came to ask our order and she said," I want a hot and sexy lonely canteen boy whose scared he would end up alone because his popularity got drained by a new boy in school." I just stood there awkwardly and watch the boy ignore her and went to take two cream buns since they were her usual order and handed it to her.

After we got our order we went to sit somewhere and she would get very angry at me since I can't stop laughing and she would get more angrier when I told Rumiko and Naoko and we would burst into laughter.

The rest of the days would just passed like that.
