The next day, I noticed something uncanny.
During break time,
I saw Hatori and Kurosawa talking and laughing.
They both glanced at me when me and my friends walked by
--- one smiled and the other looked away.
Hatori and my eyes still danced,
but he was the one who looked away shortly after.
I didn’t know what Kurosawa’s smile was for,
and I couldn’t help but think…
Does he remember, or has he forgotten?
The thought was quickly overshadowed,
loud cheering was coming from the hallways.
Out of curiosity,
and maybe a slight gut feeling,
I looked out from the doorway.
Many others did the same.
Hatori and Kurosawa ran to where I was,
and they were both right behind me.
I could feel them breathe through the strands of my hair.
