POV- Sunny☀

It was Wednesday, the sun shining perfectly on the heads of five others. The wind blew softly in my face as I watched my friends from the picnic blanket. It was the first time in a while that Mari considered a break.

Though the recital was a week away, Mari thought it would be a good idea to spend some quality time with our friends. Hero helped with that decision. Soon after, she scheduled a picnic and they all agreed quickly.

I took a deep breath, sneaking a glance at Basil, my best friend. I smile softly when he caught me staring into his blue eyes. He smiled back and giggled.

I wore long sleeves today for good reasons. I didn't have any long gloves, but I couldn't just not go, so I got a thin black shirt to go with some beige shorts. Basil picked up on the new look and questioned it soon enough.

"Hey Sunny..." Basil said, breaking the silence. I gave him a little hum to let him know I was listening, before he continued. 

"Why are you wearing long sleeves, I thought you enjoyed them short"? He asked, a hint of uncertainty in his tone. It's like he doubted if he knew me well at all.

I freeze. What was I supposed to tell him? I scoured my brain for an excuse as he awaited my answer, trying to keep a neutral face on.

I quickly shrugged. "...Mari said it was cooler outside today..." I looked to the grass, slightly scooting closer to him. Basil shot a look of understanding, with a hint of relief.

"S-She was right! It is a bit colder out today..." Comfortable silence followed his response. We sat there, leaning on one another, enjoying each other's company. 

I felt completely and utterly selfish for cutting a few days ago. The cuts that lined my flesh were enough to get me cast out of the town.

I didn't want to know what they would think of me if they knew what I did...

I'm sorry Basil...
