Sensei from Summer [ ONGOING ]

Chapter 2: My first day of summer

The bright light was forcing its way through my eyelids. Ahh. It's already morning.

. . .

!?!?!?!?!?!

Where am I!? This is not my room! Wait... calm down. Think. What happened after the tea? I h-hugged him. And then..

----short flashback-----

"Stay here for tonight Misa please"

I struggled to remove my legs from his tight grip on the floor. This childish adult!

"NO."

"O-okay.."

He finally let go of my feet. I rushed to open the door to immediately go back home.

"I'll just be by myself then...tonight...with no one to be with."

......

-----------

I was lured in by that!? How could I be such a fool!? I feel so stupid!

"Misa, breakfast is ready!"

I groaned as I walk towards the dining table. Hm. I was amazed at the delicious looking food infront. Not bad, I guess.

"I called your mom last night to tell her you were staying for the night."

"Ah..I see"

I bet she was all fine with it since I seldom sleep in this house when I was still little. Come to think of it, this house looked so huge before. Growing up really changes your perspective. As I sat on the other side of the table looking at Tanaka-san, I couldn't help but think how young he looks. Has he always been the happy-go-lucky type of person? I remember how he used to get angry at me for sticking with him all the time.

"Is there something on my face?"

"Ah..sorry. I was just thinking how you look like Mrs Suzuki."

Just so everybody should know, I'm a professional liar. So there's no way anyone can see through my lies.

"Liar"

!?!?!!??!??

"W-what? How can you say that?"

"You pull back your lips when you lie."

How does he even know about that? It's not like we have been neighbors for years. I transferred to Tokyo when I graduated elementary. He probably transferred when he graduated junior high. He moved out earlier than me.

"You used to lie to your parents a lot, remember? Saying you didn't eat the last pudding when I was in your house for the summer. You'd threaten to kiss me if I told your parents about it. It was so adorable."

He laughed like it was not embarrassing for me. This is one of those times when you regret being stupid from when you were a brainless potato.

"I said that? Hahaha I couldn't remember. That was soooo long time ago. Hahahaha..ha"

Instead of talking back, he just continued laughing. I don't think I've been this humorous in my whole life.

When I looked around, I saw a vase with flower lilies in it. Has it always been there? I wonder.

"Those flower lilies look beautiful."

"They are. It's suppose to be for funerals but someone told me before that they look like my smile. That I should always smile because I look like a flower lily when I smile."

"What kind of idiot would say a flower for funerals looks like a smile?"

He just laughed at my question. I feel like he's been playing with my childhood memories. Just how much role did this guy play in my childhood life? I could barely remember them but how come he knew every minute of it? This is frustrating... he's just smiling there. Ahh, now that I look closely. This idiot really has a beautiful smile though. A cool and very warm smile. It's like the warm summer embracing the cold. I could look at it for the whole day.
