MIZUKO'S P.O.V
I was inside Nanase-kun's home, I saw his parents and his grandmother.
"Ah~ Haru, so this is the friend your always talking about when you go home." Nanase-kun's mother told Haru. Haru blushed looking away from his parents....... Eh? What does that mean?
I heard Tachibana-kun giggling from my side, I asked him, "What does that mean?" I asked him while pulling his sleeve lightly.
"It seems Haru-chan has a crush on you, Mizuko-chan." He whispered to me. I wondered, Does he want to crush me?...............................That seems so wrong........
"He wants to crush me?" I asked while trembling, trying to hold back tears. He giggled again. "It means he likes you." Tachibana-kun told me, my legs were suddenly shaking. I looked down at the floor, trying to hide my flushed face.
"E-eh?! Mizuko-chan, you're glowing!!!" Hazuki-kun shouted, I looked up and my cheeks were red as beet, while my hair and clothes were glowing like stars. Nanase-kun likes me!! Bu-but we've just met and this and that.........
They all chuckled, I slightly looked at Nanase-kun, and he was staring at me, I looked away with a blush. But I bet he looked away too, being embarassed.
------------------------------------------------
I was together with all of them in one room, Matsuoka-kun turned off the lights, "How about we tell ghost stories.." Hazuki-kun suggested while holding his flashlight. "E-eh?! Bu-but..." Tachibana-kun was shaking.
"Come on, Tachibana-kun, seems like Mizuko-chan wants to join." Hazuki-san pointed to me. "Well, I'm in!" Matsuoka-kun shouted. "What he said." Nanase-kun said. Tachibana -kun panicked, "I-i think I'm in!!!" He was scared.
"Me too." I told them then we started story telling. Hazuki-kun was the first, Tachibana-kun kept shaking at the back of Nanase-kun. I listened to Hazuki-kun's horror story, It wasn't scary at all.......for me...
"AND SOMEONE WAS ON THE WINDOW!!!!!!!" Hazuki-kun scared Tachibana-kun. He fainted...... "E-eh? It was that scary?" Hazuki-kun asked. I sighed.......but it was funny.
-----------------------------------------------
"So, let's play a game, 'Truth or Dare'" Hazuki-kun suggested another game. Tachibana-kun was relieved, "I'm in." He told us. "Well, at least it's fun." Matsuoka-kun smiled. Then we all looked at Nanase-kun.
"Wha-what? You expect me to join in such a game?" He asked. The others grinned. "If you don't, you'll have to kiss Mizuko." They told Nanase-kun.............. "......................................." I was silent.
"Fi-fine!!!" Nanase-kun joined the game. Hazuki-kun rolled the dice and I was first, he laughed... "So, Mizuko-chan, what would it be, Truth or Dare?" Hazuki-kun asked. "Da-dare, I guess?" I told him.
"Sit beside Haru." -////////////////////////- W-why?........... I stood up, "Oh! She's really doing it!!!" Hazuki-kun teased. I sat beside Haru, but we're not that close, "Come on, sit closer to him." Hazuki-kun demanded.
"O-oi, I thought that was the dare?!" I complained. "Your dare isn't finished yet.." Hazuki-kun teased. I sat closer to Haru, he flinched. "Now hug, Haru~!" Tachibana-kun said. Nanase-kun flinched again.
"Your not making the dare!!!!!!" Nanase-kun shouted. "That's right! Hug Nanase-kun, Mizuko-chan." Hazuki-kun said. This is toooooooooooooo muuuuucccccchhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!
I pouted, "You don't mind being hugged, Nanase-kun?" I asked. "N-no..." He told me, I was staring at him, he was embarassed, I knew it. But I was too... I hugged Nanase-kun, and he was warm.
"Tighter!!" Matsuoka-kun shouted... I hugged Nanase-kun tighter........I felt comfortable... I felt I was hugging the sea with all of my warmth... "Mizuko-chan?" Tachibana-kun asked.
"Mi-mizuko?" Nanase-kun said. I can't let go of Nanase-kun. I feel sad all of the sudden. "Sh-she's crying.." I heard Nanase-kun telling the others. I sniffed and I didn't hear them, my sniff was loud and it became fuzzy that my ears can't hear their voices. Nanase-kun hugged me back, I cried for a bit longer in his shoulder, I slept at his lap later on.
----------------------------------------
I woke up in the middle of the night, I saw myself at a bed, while the others are down at the floor. I stared at the ceiling, can't think of anything. I looked at my necklace, and the other one was wrapped in my wrist,
"I wonder what is this two for......." I asked myself looking at it....... I closed my eyes sooner and held both of the necklaces tight.
NEXT DAY......
I woke up earlier than expected, the others were still sleeping. I went outside of the room by sliding the door open quietly. I closed it later on and went to the kitchen, "He-hello?" No one was there........
I guess I'm too early. "Mizuko-chan?" I heard Nanase-kun's voice, I looked back, it looks like he just woke up....... "You're early." He said. "A-ah! Good morning...." I greeted.
"Oh...good morning too." He walked to the fridge. "Why are you early today?" I asked him, he then glanced at me. "We have practice, do you want to watch us?" He asked. I thought about what he said, but what is practice???
"What's practice?" I smiled like an idiot. He sweatdropped, and scratched his cheeks using his finger..... and tried to think of something.
"It's where or when you develop your skills or talent by doing something.......hmmmm, that's what I can explain, so will you?" He asked again. I nodded and agreed.
--------------------------------------------
We were at a place full of water, I removed my clothes, "Swimmmm!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" I ran to the water. "O-oi!!! Mizuko!!!" They all tried to stop me, but I jumped in already. "Aahh~~ This feels good." I continued swimming around the small sea/ocean, don't know what it is called. "OI! What's going on here?" I saw a middle-aged man shouting from my back, and he covered me with his shadow, I looked back... "Who might you be, little girl?" He asked.
I was shaking and I gulped.
