--May 22---
Ted called me behind the shed, asking me to help him wrap his present for Teto. He planned to give it to her at the carnival, after they "married."
I sat on the steps, waiting for Ted to return with the tape. Looking up, I saw Kaito.
"Do you think he'll be gone for thirteen seconds?"
Kaito had promised me a thirteen second hug earlier that day. I was about to answer when Ted came up with the tape. Shaking my head, I smiled wanly.
I sat there and wrapped the box. It contained Voldermort's wand, all the way from Orlando. Teto, the biggest Potterhead we knew, would love it.

"Miku... I dare you to hug Kaito!"
I turned to see Miku glare at Rin.
Laughing silently, I sat on the benches. Kaito looked at me apologetically.
"Just go behind the shed for now, Gumi. I'll be right back."
I walked to the shed.
I sat on the steps again, waiting for Kaito to show up.
Finally, I saw him.
"Umm..."
He walked in, sidestepping the violins laying on the ground. I followed.
Reaching over, he pulled me in, somewhat forcefully [Kaito said to change it to lovingly...]. It was a deja vu of the last day of the previous school year. I fought to keep the tears back. We stood there, his arms around me and my head leaning on his shoulder.
