I didn't see Sano-kun after that. It's been days and I haven't had a single glimpse of his dark eyes or his pink ears. I tried asking Takeomi but he told me that Sano-kun is in his house, just like that. I also tried going to the bike shop he works at but it was closed. After that I made my way to the ramen house where Asuka-chan is and found her and her father.
Asuka-chan still has remnants of her bruises but a bright smile was on her face when she saw me, like she already forgot what happened to her. She told me that Sano-kun goes there every now and then but unfortunately I missed him that time.
That afternoon after he left I lay down on my bed, thinking things through. It is true that I answered his question in the shrine purely due to the mood that has been set. I was upset, I was in need of attention and affection and then he stayed by my side and gave me what I needed, told me things I wanted to hear.
Every time I think about it, it just looks like I am using him. He was willing to make me happy and I grabbed that idea without feeling the same thing for him. Well I do want him to be happy, but I guess not like that? I mean we just met... I also don't want him to be sad that's why it's hard for me to dump him.
That's why I decided that night to give it a try. Sano-kun is a nice person, so far, and I don't think it will be hard for me to reciprocate his feelings. His feelings... I'm not even sure yet about that, I mean I haven't heard it from him directly, just him saying things that'll make me assume it.
But nevertheless, I can't dump him. I can't bear to even imagine seeing his sad eyes and knowing it's because of me. I never want to make anyone sad, unless they deserve it. So I came to the conclusion that I'll just go with the flow. I think it's not hard to like him. I'll spend more time with him and eventually I will, I guess, but he's nowhere to be seen. How am I suppose to start if he's hiding from me?
I let out a sigh, completely forgetting that I'm supposed to study but ended up thinking about Sano-kun. It's currently a Saturday and I am preparing for our final exam. After this exam it's another step closer to medical school, I'll be a second year in high school.
Now that I think about it, maybe Sano-kun is also preparing for his final exam, though I don't know if our schools are going the same pace. But it is a huge possibility. I closed my notebook and stood up from my chair, stretching my limbs. I was thinking for so long that my body felt like I just woke up as I stretch.
I lean on my study table, reached for the window. I grab the handle and pulled it, opening it to welcome the fresh air. The chilly breeze enter my room, hitting my face, but it wasn't the only thing that hit my face. It was too late for me to dodge when a small stone came flying to my face. I flinched as it hit me on my chin, near my lower lip.
