- Tamiko's POV - 

7:28 AM

I walked downstairs seeing my mother making breakfast. 

"Did you sleep well?" My mom didn't look my way and continued to make the pancakes.

"Yeah." 

I looked at my phone and saw some of my elementary school friends making plans for a reunion.

Kyoko: Let's have a reunion, guys.

Haru: Yeah, we should.

Sora: How about this Sunday?

This Sunday??? I started to type to the group chat. 

Tamiko: Sorry guys, I can't do this Sunday. How about next Sunday?

Aoi: Sunday is great!

Sora: It's fine with me. 

They continued to ignore me... 

Tamiko: Guys, I can't do this Sunday. I have a date. 

Kyoko: It's okay. You don't have to go. 

My heart started to feel uneasy. I couldn't believe this was happening. I really want to go see my elementary school friends but... what about my date with Reo...

Tamiko: I hate you... 

Haru: It's okay. We can hang out next Sunday. 

I started to feel relieved. 

Haru: But we still hanging out this Sunday. 

Damn it

At the Train Station

I stood there waiting for the train to come. My phone continued to vibrate, meaning the group chat was talking about the reunion. 

I sighed. "I really want to go..." My heart continued to feel uneasy. Itaru walked up to me in a gloomy way. "Hey..." I made a sad looking, hoping that he noticed. 

"Hey..." I was shocked by how he said hey. It seems like he's sad too. 

"You do the homework?" I smiled brightly. 

"Yeah..." Itaru hasn't made any eye contact with me. 

I sighed. First the reunion, now gloomy Itaru... Can this day get any worse...? 

Train Comes

We both walked onto the train without saying a word. I wonder what's wrong with Itaru. 

"Sorry for the inconvenience, but there is a minor delay. So we will be staying here for about 20 minutes." 

"NOOOOO!!!!" I yelled, making everyone on the train look my direction.
