I leave for school a bit early,
I don't want to meet the new neighbour,
Or should I say the new classmate..
Before entering the schoolgrounds,
I put on my mask.
I'm used to this now,
It's nothing special..
A sad thought surfaces.
Used to this?
What's this nonsense?
Every time I put it on,
I hope that one day someone will break it.
"Hey Sora"
A hear a voice from behind,
While putting on my indoor schoes.
I guess it's one of my friends,
I turn around,
It's her...Emiko.
I would say,
She looks pretty cute,
In the morning sunlight.
"Oi Sora, is something wrong?"
She comes closer,
and gazes into my eyes.
"....Umm..No...Nothing.."
I answer while stepping back.
