"The language of friendship is not words but meanings."
- Henry David Thoreau
Ayanokoji Kiyotaka
You know that cafe in the mall? The one where lots of girls hang out.
Rekka
Me even walking scares people
I explained as I was just being stared at for standing.
Rekka
And being with just Kiyo won't work since I'm always with him.
Suzune accepted my reasons and came with us. I put up my umbrella when we went outside and Suzune gave me a confused look.
Rekka
Its to keep the heat off me
Rekka
And it's fun to hit things with it.
Rekka
Of course people, too!
Suzune laughed a little then paused and turned away from us.
We arrived at the cafe without a word being spoken by Suzune while I talked about how I wanted to learn how to make a paper aeroplane just like the one someone threw in class.
Horikita Suzune
Its quite crowded.
Ayanokoji Kiyotaka
Is this your first time coming here, too?
Rekka
Ah, right, you're a loner.
Horikita Suzune
Was that a dig? You child.
Rekka
Loners fighting over who is lonelier.
Rekka
We are all lonely, let's go!
I pulled on Suzune's arm to a free table.
Ayanokoji Kiyotaka
What drink do you want?
Kiyotaka asked me as I put my umbrella down.
Rekka
I want to be able to run so just anything cold, but no milk.
I asked of him and sat down at the table.
Horikita Suzune
You don't like milk?
Suzune asked me as she sat next to me.
Rekka
When you have too much of something you hate it, but then I love that feeling.
She just gave me a confused look
Rekka
I don't hate many things or feel hate to often.
Rekka
But from your face, you must hate everything? What's it like?
Horikita Suzune
You're kind of annoying.
I grinned, and Kiyotaka came back with our drinks, he gave me an iced tea and after just one sip a wild Kushida appeared.
Kushida Kikyo
Horikita, what a coincidence! You too, Ayanokoji! Rekka!
Kushida Kikyo
Do you three come here often?
Ayanokoji Kiyotaka
Today is our first time
Kushida Kikyo
I see. I'm here alon-
Kushida went to say, but I could tell Suzune was done and she then stood up.
Horikita Suzune
I'm leaving
Ayanokoji Kiyotaka
Hey, we only just got here
Horikita Suzune
If Kushida is here you don't need me, do you?
Rekka
But people will be more likely to interact with her than me
Horikita Suzune
Go talk to someone yourself. You aren't a child.
Suzune flicked her hair back.
Horikita Suzune
Besides, I don't like this, what are you after?
Kushida Kikyo
C-come on, it was just a coincidence
Kushida decided to do horrible acting.
Horikita Suzune
The girls who were sitting here and the two at the next table over were all students from D class.
Rekka
I was curious as to why they were all gathered here.
Ayanokoji Kiyotaka
I'm impressed you recognised them, I didn't even notice.
Suzune looked at me with suspicion.
Ayanokoji Kiyotaka
Rekka didn't know of that part of the plan. She's always observant since anything can kill her
Horikita Suzune
We came here right after class ended, which means they could only have been in this cafe for a few minutes, too soon for them to be leaving.
Rekka
Well, that was an awful plan.
Rekka
Kushida just wanted to be friends with you and I wanted to see the results. It went as I expected, a bad plan with a paranoid girl, it wouldn't work and only leave a bad impression.
Kushida Kikyo
Horikita! Please be my friend!
Horikita Suzune
I want you to leave me alone. I won't trouble the class.
Kushida Kikyo
But you will be lonely all by yourself...
Horikita Suzune
I have never once felt lonely by myself
Horikita Suzune
You're wasting your time. Every word that comes out of your mouth disgusts me.
Ayanokoji Kiyotaka
Hey, are you sure about this?
Rekka
If you won't be friends with anyone you will be alone for the next three years.
Suzune started to walk past us.
Horikita Suzune
I have been alone for the last nine years, so I don't mind.
Horikita Suzune
Longer if you include Kindergarten.
Rekka
You remember how long so you really do want a friend.
I hummed and saw her flinch a little.
Rekka
I promise all I care for is interactions, do whatever you want even just poke me if that will help you.
Suzune silently walked off.
Kushida Kikyo
Sorry, I might have made Horikita hate you both.
Rekka
No! I'm glad I was involved. I got to see something new.
Ayanokoji Kiyotaka
Rekka is happy, so I'm fine
Kushida Kikyo
Maybe I can never be her friend...
Kushida was looking for sympathy, but I didn't care.
Rekka
People like her will crack, she has already started so just be there to catch her when she falls apart.
I added as I sipped my iced tea.
We started to head home and it was sunset making me grin since most of the sky is coloured in bright colours.
Rekka
It's sad but beautiful that it only lasts for a while.
I admired it then got pulled to the side.
Ayanokoji Kiyotaka
You nearly hit a pole
Rekka
Oh, sorry pole, I nearly murdered you!
I apologised to it making Kushida laugh.
Kushida Kikyo
If I can't even make friends with my own classmates, I guess my goal is still far away
Kushida Kikyo
Hey, Rekka, do you have a goal like me? You say you want a lot of interactions?
Rekka
I don't care for friends, I just like experiencing the world or seeing other people experience things, so I can understand what I won't ever be able to experience.
I explained and she seemed disappointed.
Kushida Kikyo
Oh, it's Ichinose!
Kushida exclaimed as we saw some blonde girl talking to another girl with a flower pin in her hair.
Kushida Kikyo
Ichinose Honami is from Class B. We became friends yesterday.
They waved at us and I waved back
Ayanokoji Kiyotaka
You're even friends with students in other classes?
Kushida Kikyo
Yeah! There's a lot of nice people in Class B!
Kushida Kikyo
But this school is pretty amazing, huh? There are so many stores and we get 100,000 yen each month.
Ayanokoji Kiyotaka
That amount seems a bit excessive to me, though.
Rekka
With money or luxury, isn't there always a price?
Rekka
This school gives you a big benefit when you graduate, so it should be hell, but then I will die from the heat so it isn't hell. What is it then? A cloud? No, it's heaven, but there's no pain there, so heaven sucks
Kiyotaka tapped my head making me tilt my umbrella back to look at him and stop my rambling.
