Holding up the ice bag to his forehead, Takei slowly but surely made his way to the field where the 400-meter dash would be held.
He was propping his arm over Eiji's shoulder as they walked down the long, yet empty corridors of the school.
Obviously, all of the students were outside spectating and getting ready for the upcoming event instead of being inside.
Looking through the windows of the school as he walked, Takei realized that somehow his perspective of life had changed before he had even noticed.
School used to be a prison for him, a place that he dreaded to go.
He had hated the very thought of leaving his house in the morning and coming back several hours later.
Takei had even thought of becoming a shut-in at one point, but he quickly threw away that thought after he realized that it would make his parents sad.
Nowadays, he somewhat enjoyed going to school.
Takei had met so many new people this year, and had an extraordinary amount of new memories made.
He was so grateful for this opportunity that he was given, and was planning on taking full advantage of it.
Reaching the front yard finally, Takei let go of Eiji and headed towards the bleachers.
After seeing Rikka wave her hand at them, Takei and Eiji began to make their way towards her area.
As they approached, Takei noticed that something was off, or rather someone.
There was a familiar girl sitting next to Rikka, and it wasn't Akari or Helena.
It was Arisa.
The last time that Takei had seen her was when he rejected her confession.
Since moving away sorely because of her was rude, Takei took a seat down next to her and continued to feign calmness.
"Hello, Takei. It's been a while."
Although there was an air of awkwardness, Arisa tried her best to dispel it.
"Yeah, it's definitely been. How have you been?"
Not wanting for her courage to be in vain, Takei continued the conversation.
"I've been great..." Arisa leaned forward and whispered into Takei's ear. "Let's forget about everything and start anew. Is that okay with you?"
Deciding to make everything okay between them, Arisa went on the offensive.
Of course as a gentleman, Takei agreed with her sentiments.
"Yes, let's do it."
They both outstretched their hands and shook each other with a valiant smile on their faces.
As this exchange happened, all of the runners finished lining up.
Akari and Helena were right next to each other, while the rest of the classes were side by side with them.
The announcer was at a stand next to the race track with a microphone along with a timer.
Moving the microphone to her mouth, the announcer informed everyone that the race would be beginning soon.
Takei looked back over to the participants and observed Akari's figure.
She was dressed up in their school's gym outfit which constituted a pair of shorts and a plain shirt for the girls.
Although Akari was wearing very plain clothes, her extravagant figure was still showing through the deceptive clothes.
If someone had to ask if Takei was a b**bs or a*s guy, he would've answered thighs without a single shred of hesitation.
