It was just a typical highschool day for an ordinary 4th year like me.
It was a windy afternoon and school just ended.
The mini-library was empty as usual. Not a single person in sight.
I was scavenging through the book shelves when I saw a book that flicked my interest.
I was reaching for it, when my hand collided with a much larger hand than mine.
Shocked.
That was the only word that could explain what I'm feeling right now.
He's right here. He's right here in front of me. It was him.
He was looking at me, straight in the eye. Looking at nothing but me.
Even though I don't see my face, I know that I was...blushing. I was blushing a tone of red.
I can't believe that he was here. He was here right before my eyes.
"S-Saga Senpai." I said.
He asked, "How do you know my name?"
It was the first time I've ever come this close to him. It was the first time I've ever seen his face this up close.
Was this a dream?
I've been watching him for three years. I've been inlove with him for three years. That love that I've contained for three whole years in the container of my heart...overflowed.
Excitement. Happiness. Shockness. Relieveness. Longing. Love.
Mixed up feelings filled me right now. I couldn't think straight. All I was aware of right now was that... I love him.
He was still standing there with a questioning look.
I still couldn't calm down.
I love you. I love you. I love you.
Until...I said it to him.
"I'm in love with you."
I gasped. What did I just do? I just blew it. I just confessed to him.
But...
He said...
"Do you want to go out with me?"
Back then, everything was so pure.
Years have passed and after 10 years, I'm already 25 years old.
I, Onodera Ritsu has grown up to be one jaded adult.
