Day 5: Fireworks
Arishira's POV:
Osamu woke me up at 6 AM, the gentle light of morning filtering through my curtains. I blinked sleepily at the alarm clock, wishing for just a few more minutes of rest, but the sound of his voice pulled me from my dreams. He waved goodbye as he started his car and drove off, leaving me with a rush of warmth from our kiss the night before. It felt electrifying and surreal, lingering in my mind like a sweet melody.
I took a bus to school, the rhythm of the city waking up around me. As I stepped inside the school building, the buzz of excitement filled the air; today was the last day of Founders' Day, and my heart raced at the thought of the festivities planned for the evening.
Settling into my classroom, I felt a flutter of anticipation. Kira, my best friend, spotted me and called out, "There you are! Where were you last night?"
"Osamu dropped me off. Sorry I didn't say anything," I replied, trying to brush off the slight embarrassment.
"It's okay, Ari. Don't worry... and here's your phone; I charged it last night," she said, handing it over with a knowing smile. I felt a wave of relief as I saw the battery was at 96%.
"Thank you, Kira!" I exclaimed. She returned to her desk, and I couldn't help but feel grateful for her thoughtfulness.
I remembered Osamu mentioning their nationals were tomorrow. I could only imagine how hard he and his team must be practicing today, focused and determined.
As I grabbed my phone, my fingers danced over the screen, checking social media. Our school's account had been buzzing with posts from Founders' Day, and one picture caught my eye-a candid shot of Osamu and me walking through the booths on Day 1. I looked pretty good, while Osamu had that usual nonchalant expression of his. I saved the picture, feeling a warm blush creep onto my cheeks; we looked cute together.
