Paper Planes : Chapter Two

Maki POV

3 months ago

I sat by the bleachers looking at the boys playing football. I sighed looking down at my mom's pic in the hospital. I groaned and pushed the pic into my pocket. My mom has been sick for 3 years now. I love her and I don't want to see her hurting.

My dad is working hard to make amends meet and my mom is fighting with all her will to come out of the hospital sheets...I feel guilty to be happy when they are suffering like this...I am not supposed to be happy playing with my friends.

"AH! I shouldn't play now" I groaned and looked up to see the sky. "Why?" I flinched as I heard a sound. I looked to the side to see Harua with Yuma. They were talking about something. They are my classmates but I never bothered to talk to them. I have two best friends and that's enough.

Jo and Niki...those two tall poles playing football there on the ground. 

I sighed thankfully as Harua didn't hear me. "I want to join fashion designing but my dad says it's a feminine job" Yuma sighed. "Tell me the truth" Harua looked at Yuma. I kept myself closer as I had nothing better to do here.

"You are afraid what your parents will think about you when they are working hard...And the fashion course costs a lot" He asked...Wait that sounds like my problem...I am worried what my parents will say if I pay to play football behalf of the school...

"You can do it Yuma! You don't have to worry about it. My mom once said to ask them anything I want and they would try their best to give me that because they are working hard to see our smiles" 

I looked down realizing that.

But Yuma's case is different...

I sighed and walked away from there.

I walked in plopping my bag onto my bed and walked over to fix my clothes and ran out to my mom at the hospital. "MOM! Your son is back!~" I walked in with her food that I prepared for her with caution not using the stuff she shouldn't eat. "Oh! Hi my son!" She hugged me tightly and I sat down there arranged the food on the table.

"How was school?" She asked looking at me taking a bite of her rice. "It was great! Today Niki fell down from the stairs and we were laughing at it for so long" I smiled explaining weird stuff that happened all day long to make her laugh. "So, you enjoyed the day" She looked at me and I nodded.

"How am I not seeing you talk about Football these days?" She asked looking at me. I went quiet for a second before breaking my lips into a smile. "I don't like it anymore, It feels boring now" I said and smiled taking out the bowls from which she finished her food. "Is it the same for Niki and Jo?" She asked again. "Yeah...we aren't playing it that much anymore" I said with an awkward smile.

She took out her phone and showed me Jo's instagram story where I was visible sitting at the bleachers looking down. "Mom..." I looked at her and she smiled. "Here, is this enough?" She asked handing me the money. "Its a lot, I only need this much" I said taking some from it. "I am fighting my disease to see you smile, and if I can't make you smile then I am a bad mom" She said with a smile.

Tears ran down from my cheek. She hugged me tightly. "I always want to see you happy" She said. It kind of reminds me of Harua's words. He is right...

From then on I kept on bumping into Harua lot more than before. Or maybe I never bothered to look at him before. He is a great dude. He helps out Yuma a lot, talks to everyone, takes spots which no one in the class would take like doing the trash duty.

Should I say, I find him interesting...

"Harua!" I heard Kokona call him near the shoe stand. I eavesdropped their conversation and smiled how Harua bought everything from Kokona to make her happy, I tasted those cookies and they were as bad as a piece of coal. Kokona needs some baking classes.

I turned around to see Harua standing there speaking to Kokona.

"Omg...*cough*" I found myself staring at Harua nibble the cookies and smile widely. I am loosing my mind, his smile is so PRETTY!

I looked down seeing him dance in little and I lost my mind again.

How is he so cute!~

Present(before the 1st note)

"Where's Niki?" I asked Jo. "He went to place anonymous letter to his crush because today is a lucky day it seems." Jo said and smiled. "What? You mean that blonde senior?" I asked and Jo nodded. "How is it a lucky day?" I scoffed.

"Today is June 6th according to our school's culture people hand over their anonymous letter to their crushes to make their crush to fall in love with them, Girls believe that a lot" Jo said pulling out a handful of letters from his pocket.

"Are you showing off?" I rolled my eyes. "How can I? These are yours" He said pulling his hand from other side of pocket and smiled innocently.

I smiled taking them and pushing them into my bag and rushed to the class to give my letter to Harua.

'To the person sitting here'

I wrote down the letter as 'Please go out with me' 

and below info to make sure he writes back to me.

I am in love with a guy, Harua, a heavenly god...

and I finally opportunity to confess my feelings to Harua!!!

I know it's wrong to fall in love with a guy...but I like him, I like Harua for who he is...I just fell for him all the way back from 2 months...And I've never been the same person.
