Okay! So last day before school begins tomorrow and I am freaking nervous.   It feels strange to think about school now. The whole vacations I was like waiting to go school and now when they are finally opening, I am anxious. I Gotta do some deep breathing. It may help me.

****************

Three days back I was at a hot spring inn with my parents and my best friend Amy Tanaka. We have been friends for like 11 years (since we were 5). We were damn close to each other. Amy lost her father when she was 10 and so she had to move to Kyoto. But we've been in touch.

So out of custom we planned a vacation. The inn we went to, that was a special place for both the families. We used to go there when uncle Jiro was alive.
Me and Amy met after a year, it felt really good and guess what; I saw Takeru there too. I felt so glad to see him there. I mean a classmate at an unexpected place. It feels heartwarming. Amy asked me who he was and I said he is a classmate but something felt out of place. She asked me how I was holding up about everything that happened. She and I shared a secret cuz we were best friends. And I didn't have anybody else to go to except her.

When I saw him, it was as if the universe played an ace. I felt connected; strange; oblivious to everything else. I don't know where my life is taking me.
