~7:00 am~ [Monday]

I was walking to school with Miyuji-senpai
(Miyuji for people who don't know other characters *cough* Alsie *cough*)


then I heard her say "Hey Dora-chan, I'm thinking about starting a band called the 'Strawberry Thieves' are you interested in joining?"

"HELL YES I AM!" I shouted.

"Well, I have some other friends and I can ask if they want to join as well. Would you be okay with that?"

"Of course! The more the merrier right?"

Miyuji-senpai smiled and waved before changing paths from me. I wonder who the other members could be.

*flashback*
"Mommy, what does love at first sight mean?"

"Well Dora, Love at first sight is when a person feels an extreme long lasting love for a stranger upon seeing them."

"Mommy that's silly!
*End of flashback*

I wish I was a child again. I didn't have to worry as much about things.

The bell had cut my thoughts off as I run to my class.

~1:00 pm~ (Lunch time)
I see Miyuji-senpai walk to me with a few other girls near her. One has medium length hair in a ponytail. Most of it was dark blue and the left-half of the front was a light green.
Another one of the girls has two pigtails, most of her hair was dark purple and the front-right-half was dark green.
And then the last girl...She was..beautiful...her hair was long and in a ponytail. Most of her hair was silver;dark purple streaks through her ponytail and the front part of her hair was also dark purple.
Her eyes reminded me of purple tanzanite. I think she knew I was staring at her because she started staring at me too.

I felt my face flush in embarrassment. She saw me staring at her. She must think I'm a creep now, huh. I hope I didn't leave a bad impression on her.
(The girls Dora saw:)

Miyuji-senpai sat next to me and when she sat so did the other girls. "Hey Dora-chan! These are the other friends I was talking about. Guys how about you introduce yourselves?"

"Hii! I'm Beshi Takamine it's nice to meet you!" Said the mostly blue haired girl.

"What's up, I'm Gita Yamahato!" Said the girl with purple pigtails.

"Hello, I'm Kiba Kawaito.." Said the beautiful girl.

"Hey! I'm Dora Tamamoto!!" I replied;my head down.

When I looked up the first thing I saw was Kiba-Sama looking at me. Not just looking in my direction, but full on staring at me. I could tell she knew that I saw her when her face turned red. It was cute. Wait..WHAT...Why am I thinking this? I don't like..girls. Do I? I mean...I think she's pretty but that's normal right?....right?.
I decided to scoot closer to Kiba-Sama. She turned even more red. But it couldn't be because she liked me right? No... that couldn't be possible.
We eat for a while.

~3:00 pm~ (After school)
Miyuji-Senpai, Kiba-Sama, Gita-Senpai, Beshi-Chan, and I walk into a unused club. "Dora-Chan, you thinking what I'm thinking?"
Miyuji-senpai asked.

"THIS WOULD MAKE A GREAT MUSIC ROOM!" I exclaim.

Gita-Senpai and Beshi-Chan set down some bags that they brought with them on the floor.
"What's in those bags?" Kiba-Sama asked.

"Some instruments that we can pick out. For our band!" Beshi-Chan assured.

"Yeah! You guys can pick whatever instrument you want!" Gita-Senpai insisted.

I look over all the instruments. Thinking carefully about which one to pick. I look over and see Miyuji-Senpai grab a microphone and electric guitar, Beshi-Chan and Gita-Senpai grabbed  acoustic guitars and Kiba-Sama grabbed an electric keyboard. There were so many I could choose from but there was only 1 that really called out to me. The drums. I loved everything about them and I think everyone there could tell as well. They brought me comfort as well as old memories. I knew that the drums were what I wanted. So that's what I did. I chose the drums. "I'm gonna be the singer of this band! It makes sense because this was my idea." Miyuji-Senpai asserted.

We all laughed and continued talking about, well, just anything. The band, what music we were into, our favorite things to do, our favorite color, just anything that came to the top of our heads is what we'd talk about. Everything was perfect. We were perfect. She, is perfect.

~4:30 pm~ (at Home)
I flopped down on my bed not minding the fact I was still in uniform. I grabbed my pillow and put my face into it as I squealed. I think I do like girls. No, no! Me? Like.....girls? That can't be the case...I had a crush on Hazu-Kun a month ago so that can't be possible...right?..
But... that girl... she makes me feel so... warm. Not like, butterflies in the stomach kind but it's like I feel... safe and protected. From anything or anyone that would/could hurt me. But to tell the truth. I think it's better to not feel butterflies around somebody.
Because if you like someone you should be able to feel comfort around them. Or feel like you can be you around them. If the person you like makes you feel nervous then I honestly don't think it's meant to be.
Why be with someone who you don't feel comfortable or safe with? It honestly makes no sense at all when you think about it. You should be able to be who you are around the person you love and care for. You shouldn't have to be nervous or uncomfortable around your crush. Or at least, that's what I believe love should be like. But that could just be me. That's just my belief of what love should be.
