Tied Together [Book 2]

Chapter 55: Special Gift

Nagisa's POV

The sound of birds chirping greeted me as I opened my eyes.

My room was bright, even though my curtains still served as a border between the sunlight. I felt glad today was a Sunday. I'm feeling lazy.

I turned my body, making me see the calendar on my bedside table in my line of vision. "Sunday, February 13th".

Ah...

Tomorrow is Valentine's.

I suddenly remembered that I needed to make chocolates for everyone. It looks like I'll be going to the supermarket today.

What should I make this year?

-Time skip-

It's Monday, and I can already see the girls whispering and giggling to each other as I walked. The guys also looked like they were anticipating chocolates, nudging each other.

Some looked kind of down, saying how they didn't like Valentine's Day. One of those people is Arisa-chan.

"Today's Valentine's, huh?" She sighed. "I don't have anyone I like, so it's so insignificant to me..."

She then showed a smile, "At least I get tomo choco! And I get to give everyone, too!"

Chiyuki-chan smiled, "Let's give them at lunchtine."

We decided to go with Chiyuki-chan's plan.

When it was lunchtime, we went to the rooftop as usual. It was just the three of us today.

It also seemed like Yamaguchi-kun was bombarded by girls earlier in the class.

I prayed for his safety.

I can give him his share of chocolates once the fangirls die down.

"Here ya go!" Arisa-chan gave me and Chiyuki-chan choclate that has been wrapped in decorative paper. It contained two chocolate hearts in it.

She leaned in and whispered, "Don't tell anyone, but, I've actually just melted pre made chocolate and mixed in some marshmallows."

"Ahaha..." We sweat dropped.

Chiyuki-chan gave us a plastic bag too, but a bit bigger. They had chocolate chip cookies in them. "They're not much, I had to use whatever was in the house..." She fiddled with her fingers.

"They look really good!" Arisa took a look at the plastic bag in her hands.

It was Nagisa's turn to give them chocolates. She gave them a plastic bag that had a chocolate muffin in it.

Arisa-chan's eyes sparkled as she looked at the bag with delight. "Nagisa-chan's muffins!? I sure am gonna enjoy this later!"

"These look great...!" Chiyuki-chan followed.

I smiled at the two, who looked captivated by a simple-looking muffin. "Thanks!"

Arisa suddenly looked away and pouted. "I bet every couple at school is gonna go on a date today... Or maybe even sing karaoke and go somewhere romantic...!?"

Nagisa looked at her. "Do couples really do that?"

The peach-haired girl beside her spoke, "Well, it is that time of the year..."

"The only thing that's good for me during Valentine's is that there's a lot of chocolate and sweets everywhere that are discounted," Arisa-chan let out another sigh as she looked at the sky. "But then again, some of those discounts are for couples only..."
