(on the way home)

Once school ended I found Ame at the gates and we started walking back to my house. The evening light was flooding the sky with a deep orange hue, littered with majestic looking clouds.

"So Ame, how was your day?" I asked her, completely forgetting what had happened at lunch earlier today.

"Oh it was great except for the fact that YOU DIDNT 'T TELL ME YOU KNEW SHINSO! OH AND YOU CALL HIM SHIN, HOW LONG HAVE YOU KNOWN HIM!?!" She yelled. She had stopped dead in her tracks when she started yelling in my face. She yelled at me. I stopped walking frozen in place by her words

"Um, I met him in middle school, we used to talk alot when our lockers were together in our first and second year." I muttered still dazed from her yelling. Damn I didn't know she was going to get this pressed about me and Shin knowing each other. I honestly thought she'd be a lot calmer about this.

"Well Ame to be fair we may have talked in our first and second year but we completely lost touch in our third year when our lockers got moved. We barely became friends again two weeks ago during lunch." I stated. She looks surprised. Did I say something?

I honestly just didn't think that this was all that important information. Guess I thought wrong. That's unfortunate. I wonder how Keigo is doing, I haven't seen him in quite a while. Actually I haven't seen him in, wait what am i thinking, um what were we talking about before.

Fuck I don't remember.

"Rō, why didn't you tell me? You would have avoided this entire conversation."

"I'm Sorry I didn't tell you I just kind of forgot to." Oh well what happened, happened.

"HOW DO YOU JUST FUCKING FORGET TO TELL ME SOMETHING LIKE THIS!!" Oh she's yelling at me, again, um I don't know what to do, help. Again at the sound of her voice being raised I stopped walking. Just didn't move for a while. I may have a good memory but I forget to say stuff that I don't think is all that important information. Hm, I wonder what Shin is doing right now. Oh, uh, what is Ame staring at me?

Now that I think about it she does that alot, just stares at me. As Ame is staring into my soul I put a hand up to my eye. God these contacts are killing me, they hurt so bad. I'm going to have to go to the store and buy new ones later today.

"Hey Am-" oh she is still staring at me. Huh, I wonder how old she is.

"Hey Ame, I have a question." I say as Ame finally stops staring at me and her eyes light up.

"Oh, yeah what is it?" she responds as she looks me up and down.

"Um, how old are you?" I finally say with genuine curiosity. I forgot to ask pretty much every day I've seen her for the past two, no three months. Like I said, I may have a good memory but I forget stuff a lot.

"That's your question, well im fifteen why?" Ame said with a questioning tone. Uh, why did I ask her, uhhh.

"No reason, just asking." I replied, answering her question.

"Oh well, since we're on the topic, how old are you?" Oh yeah I never told her either.

"Oh, right, I'm thirteen." I say. Her eyes slightly widened at my answer.

"YOU'RE ONLY THIRTEEN!?!?" She yelled.

"Well yeah I skipped a grade at some point in elementary, why? How old do you think I am?" I answer confused as to why she's surprised.

"I THOUGHT YOU WERE FOURTEEN!" She exclaimed as she, again, stopped walking.

"Yeah no I'm one hundred percent sure I'm thirteen." I say, and now she looks even more confused. What did I say to make her confused? Welp I don't know what I said but to be honest I don't think it matters, she's confused no matter what. After a while we both started walking again.

"You're telling me I thought a whole THIRTEEN YEAR OLD was a pro hero!?!?" god how loud can one person be.

"Yes, yes you did." I responded. Oops did not mean to say that out loud. Oh well. Is she like ok or, oop she stopped responding. Uh what do?

Oh she's staring at me again. Huh, now that I think about it, damn she really does do that alot. That's interesting. I'm not going to think too much of it.

"Ame?" I say as I wave my hand in front of her face.

"Oh, Ro, right you're here."

"Mhm" I nod as I take a closer look at her. Huh, she has a really small nose. I wonder if she also has small hands.

"Hey, Ame."

" Yeah Ro, what is it?"

"Can you put your hand like this?" I ask as I put up my hand and stretch out my fingers. She nodded and copied me, putting her hand out and mirroring mine. Once she did that I slowly put my hand up to hers. At this point we were still walking, getting close to my house.

Wow, her hands are surprisingly small for how tall she is. Ame was still walking but her face had changed to a soft pink. Huh, that's weird, is she sick? I'll check. I put my hand up to her forehead.

"Ame are you sick? you seem a little red." I asked, she had turned away by now but shrugged answering my question. As she looked away I picked her up bridal style. I don't want a sick person walking around even if we're only a little far from the house.

Once we got home I put her down on the couch and asked her again.

"Ame, are you sick?" She looked up at me and then into my eyes. Fuck did she notice i was wearing contacts, I just took them off.

"No, I'm not sick, I was just a little red, also were you wearing contacts?" she asked. Yup she had realized.

"Yeah, I have to hide my eyes, you know, since I ran away. I was actually going to ask if you wanted to go to the store to get new ones, the other ones were bothering me." I responded. I waited for her answer and she eventually said yes.

She got up off the couch and went to her room to change. I went up to mine and did the same. I put on a pair of black cargo pants, a black crop top, some black high tops, and my older brother's old sweater he gave me before he left. After I finished changing I made my way downstairs and found Ame sitting on the couch.

She was wearing a dark gray skirt paired with a colorful tie-dye shirt. It looks nice on her, but to be fair she always wears colorful clothes.

"Come on Ame." I said as I motioned for her to follow me out the door. As I expected she got up very happily and followed me out the door.

"Ok!" she replied in her usual happy tone. Completely different from when we were walking home. Once we got to the store we walked around for a little bit looking for the contacts when we finally found them.

"Which ones should I get these, or these?" I asked as I held up two boxes of contacts.

"Hmmm, the one on the left!" she said, clearly happy to help me out.

"Ok, I guess we're getting these." I said to myself as I put the other box back. "Come on Ame lets go pay." I tell Ame as we both walk over to the register,

"Will this be all?" the worker behind the counter asked.

"Yes thank you." I reply as I take the contacts from her gently.

"Ok that'll be $20.35 will this be paid in cash or card?" she asked.

"Cash." I say as I hand her the twenty dollars.

"Thank you, have a nice day!" she yelled out the door as it shut close and we walked home.

"Hey Rō, why did you change your appearance?"
