The Cassette Tape

Irises in the rain.

 I decided to play the cassette tape I had gotten earlier in the player. A million thoughts flooded my mind. The girl's mum said this was a family tradition, but if they were going to be recording for every single day that would take a lot of space. If what I think is correct then there must be much more tapes somewhere else. Julie and Yoshimura seemed to be on awkward terms but I'm really rooting for then to be friends. I pressed play and just like before the sweet voice started talking. " hehe , Hi again. This is might not be important but I am going to be recording only once a week from now. Now that it's out of the way let's talk about my week, shall we? I told about the project I was didn't I? Guess what our homeroom teacher awarded us for doing our best. We were all happy but Julie wasn't that happy. She had a dull expression on her face. Now that I think about it I think she had eyebags under her eyes and she seemed tired. After that class we had arts and crafts where I made my mom a little bunny so that when she is at world she can look at it and get reminded of me so all her loneliness would just fade away! The next day during break I went to the garden because I heard that's where Julie hangs around most of the time. After searching for her for a while I sat down on a bench nearby to rest. As I was getting up to search for her again I heard sobs. I thought someone was crying so I followed the sound and it lead me to behind a bush  where i saw Julie sitting down trying to cry as silently as she can. She looked like she was having a hard time and I wanted to help her out".

Kazumi's P.O.V:

She was struggling to catch her breath in between sobs. It really hurt me to see Julie like this, so I squatted down next to her and put my hand on her back. She wiped off the tears off her face and looked at me with her eyes that were red from crying and said "P-please keep this a secret." "Don't worry I will. Just let it all out." I replied trying to sound comforting just like my mother. After a while of sitting next to her and making sure she was okay we both decided to back to class. She stood up from the ground and dusted her dress "Thank you" she smiled and turned around ready to go to class. "Wait" I picked a few of my favourite flower and placed in her hair "Let's go now!" I smiled back. Halfway back to class it started raining and I looked back at her in the rain with irises in her hair, she looked really pretty.

A/N: Sorry for the short chapter guys, although I doubt anyone would read this. I don't really have a reason as to why she is crying here and that explains the short chapter. Anyways hope you enjoyed reading! See you in the next part.
