Sawada Shin

I never said, I missed you.

School starts a month after Sawada leaves and it left the girl a few months to be with the boy. The two have already planned a trip to America to meet the girl's parents for a few days.

Hanna was beyond excited to meet her parents again, she hadn't stop talking about Sawada to her mom ever since they became friends the first day they met.

Her mother would tease her everytime she would call her, her father sounds fond of him though her father had said before that he can't "like" the boy if he hasn't met him yet.

Nonetheless Hanna thinks her father and Sawada would get along nicely, since they are both pretty old fashioned, and a chick magnet.

The girl's mother had told countless of stories of when her father would always be crowded by girls back in their day, saying the man never did pay attention to any of them, having his heart set for only one woman. Her mother.

The day before the trip, the girl's grandmother had been packing the girl's suitcase. The old woman was anxious the girl won't have the things she'd need, she packed the necessities even the girl's passport, wallet, and plane ticket in a bag so she wouldn't forget.

While doing so, the girl and the old man watched the old woman scold them with something they can't remember what about.

That night the girl called the boy she was going with to ask if he was ready for tomorrow.

Sawada's phone rang from the table while he was folding his clothes to put in his suitcase, he stopped what he was doing and went to check who was calling him.

"Moshi Moshi." the boy said holding the phone to his ear.

"Sawada kun, are you done packing?" the girl asked, seated where her desk was, a sketch book underneath her hands.

"I'm doing it right now, why?" The boy responded, now clutching the phone with his shoulder and head to set his hands free to continue packing.

"Nothing I was just asking. Do you need help?" she asked again closing the sketch book she was using.

"No, I'm almost done packing then I'm going to sleep." he said quite curious why the girl was asking to help him.

"Oh, alright then... Are you sure you don't need help?" she asked again sounding quite persistent.

"No, I just finished packing. Be serious now, why are you being persistent to help me pack?" the girl went silent, contemplating what to tell the boy.

She contemplated whether to tell him, she wanted to see him since it has been days since the last time they've "hangout", or I'm too excited for tomorrow, I can't wait to go on a trip with you. In which both were true.

"It's nothing, I guess.. I don't know, I miss you? You've been busy quite much with your paperworks for when you leave, and I'm happy for you, you know that. But I guess I kinda missed going out and hanging out together."

"It's nothing, nevermind." she waited for the boy to respond but the other line was silent,

"Alright, I'll let you sleep now Sawada kun. See you tomorrow, goodnight." she said ending the call.

She lowered her head to the desk staring at the phone,

"Not even a Goodnight. What an idiot." the girl said frowning, putting her phone inside her pocket.

Minutes had passed since the call, she went back to drawing on her sketch book. The doorbell went off a minute later making the girl think who would be outside late in the evening.

She went out to see who it was, opening the gate to see who was outside. Upon opening it she saw the boy she was just talking to on the phone minutes ago, he was holding a bag of snacks and drinks.

"Sawada kun? What are you-"

"You said you missed me. I'm here now, do you want to hangout?". the boy asked cutting the girl off, flashing a gentle smile towards her.

He then offered her the bag, the girl however hugged him instead making the boy hug back.

"I never said I missed you." the girl said still hugging the boy.

"Really? I remember you saying, you "missed me"." the boy said smugly teasing the girl.

The girl then looked up to the boy, still not letting go of him.

"I said I missed hanging out with you, Idiot." she said, her eyes bright as the stars that night.

"Of course, whatever you say. Baka." he responded patting her head.

The stars were indeed bright that night, especially the ones infront of him.
