Back in the past, when I was a 10 years old elementary student.  

I was weak and always got bullied by others. But one day a girl with a short brown hair with a yellow ribbon on her head came to rescue me. 

"Don't touch him or I'll beat you up!" 

A small girl holding a kendo sword shouts at the three kids that was bullying me. 

That girl was Satomi. A cheerful, kind and sweet girl. 

"Who do you think you are? Get her!" 

The leader of the bully's command his comrades but they end up beaten by a little girl and run away. 

Satomi walks to me and pat my shoulder. 

"Are you okay?" 

She stares at me and based on her expression, she was concerned about me. 

"Yeah..." 

Suddenly my lips start to bleed a bit. 

"Oh... you're bleeding!" 

She quickly pulls a pink cherry blossom patterned handkerchief on the pocket of her skirt and gently wipes the blood on my lips. 

"Don't worry... I got this..." 

I was too moved to say any words. 

"I am Satomi... my name means beautiful and wise...What's yours?" 

She shows a beautiful smile on me after she speaks. 

"I... I am Sora.. Sora means sky." 

Suddenly she holds my hand. 

"Sora... nice to meet you! Let's get along together okay?" 

She helps me to stand up and walk home together while she's still holding my hand. 

Since that day, Satomi and I always walk to school together, go home together, and eat lunch together. 

Those days are the best. Living a peaceful and happy life. 

I can't believe it. 

Since that Hanako kissed me, I couldn't get to sleep so I end up jogging around outside until 5am, and prepare our breakfast at 8am. 

I was washing up the dishes when Hanako woke up and go downstairs. 

"Ohayo!" 

(ohayo: Good morning.) 

I greet her with a smile but she seems so cranky when she just got wake up. 

She didn't smile at me and walk straight through the living room and sit on the sofa. 

"What's for breakfast?" 

"Omelet rice wand some fresh milk." 

She quickly stands up and walks to me. 

"Make some hot chocolate for me." 

"Eh? But there's no time left, I'm going to be late for school!" 

I tried to convince her but I realize that starting an argument with her won't do anything good, because I'm not going to win to her anyway. 

"Fine..." 

Not wasting any of my time, I make her a hot chocolate. After that I pick up my bag. 

"I'm going... be sure to lock up." 

"Don't have too..." 

I think she don't have too... she's way too stronger to a thief or a serial killer I guess.
