My name is [Full Name] and I'm in my third year of highschool.
And I'm still single.
I mean, it's not like I'm supposed to get a boyfriend but like everyone around me-literally almost everyone I know has a partner. Someone that they'll be able to call love, darling, honey or anything. Someone to love. Someone to be other half with. Yada yada. I don't know. Ah, did I mention for the 18 years of my life until now I've never dated anyone before? Well.. Not like dating is necessary for me now. It's weird that it seems like you're dating someone because you won't feel that lonely. Yeah, less lonely.
I mean being a senior is already stressful with the works and all trying to get into college..and club activities.
I do have a crush though!
"[Name]-chan,are you okay?
I snapped out of my thoughts and looked up to the person who spoke to me.
Sugawara Koushi. My crush.
I blinked,
"A-Ah, yeah. Sorry I was..thinking?"
What the hell am I doing embarrassing myself in front of my childhood friend that I have a crush on since middle school?!
Yes, you guessed it right.
I've known him since we were in diapers. We are close-I mean we are best friends. Even though we've distanced because of studies and all, we are still in contact and we go home together (Neighbors,yeah)
So how did I develop my feelings for him?
We had an accidental kiss in middle school but I forgot which year cause I'm forgetful but the feeling..and all I still remember it. It's unforgettable.
But why didn't I confess? Why should I?
I don't see the point in confessing when I know my best friend will reject me and I don't want our friendship to be gone too..I don't want to lose someone so important to me.
" I can't walk home with you today because I got volleyball practise..I'm so sorry! I promise I'll make it up to you next time.." He rubbed the back of his neck, feeling guilty.
I felt bad!
"No! It's okay, it's alright. It's not like this is the first time right?Wait, I mean-I understand and you don't have to be sorry about it. There were times I didn't walk home with you either..so yeah. I guess I'll come over...tonight?" I gave him a small smile.
"Yeah, sure! Mum will probably cook your favorite food for tonight," He chuckled.
Ah. Everything about him is so refreshing.
"Cool, I'll see you later then. I have to find [Friend's Name]-chan," I told him and he gave me a thumbs up. We both went different ways and I just remembered something..
"Koushi, before I go home I'll pass by the gym to give you something! Wait for me!" I winked at him and ran away.
WHY DID I DO THAT OH MY GOD
AND I WINKED
IM CRYING INTERNALLY .
[FULL NAME] WHAT THE HELL
Sugawara's POV
I gave [Name] a thumbs up as we both went different ways. As I walked, she shouted, " Koushi, before I go home I'll pass by the gym to give you something! Wait for me!" My heart skipped a beat.
And..she winked at me.
Oh god that was so cute..
"Sugawara-san,are you sick? Your face is red." A classmate of mine asked and I told him I was fine.
I can't wait to see her later. I wish I could walk home with her but I wouldn't want her to wait for me either...

"God, you're so..ugh-Just confess already [Nickname]! Plus you're going to give him your handmade cookies hm~ hm~" [Friend's Name] wiggled their eyebrows at the [Hair Color] haired girl.
"I mean..I planned to but not now?It feels like it's not the right time yet..I'm not ready for a relationship so definitely not confessing, yet" [Name] sighed.
"But time is ticking and he might be taken away easily anytime anywhere ya know that?Like Shimizu Kiyoko was it?" They scratched their head.
"Ah..yeah. She's pretty.. -"
"Oup..nuh uh baby. Don't start on that. You're pretty in your own ways too. Everyone is pretty and I'm definitely the most fabulous one here, heh. C'mon don't give me that face. If you keep on frowning you're going to get wrinkles and look like my old hag . I don't want you to be nagging me either!" They said.
[Name] giggled.
"Alright.. alright. I'm going out to get a drink at the vending machine, you want anything?"
"Banana milk, pleaseeee."
" Yes, yes. Right away, [Friend's Nickname]"
• • •
Banana milk..banana milk.. ah.
"[Name],"
Huh? Am I hearing things or did someone just call me..by my name?
"[Name]..!"
I looked around my surrounding. My heart was beating fast and I felt hella creeped.
A guy appeared in front of me. His chocolate hair's a mess and curly-ish? He wore glasses and wasn't in his school uniform..?
Who is he?
"[Name].." So he was the one who called me..But why..
"How..do you know my name? Do I know you?" I held the banana milk and ice lemon tea closer to me. What if he wants to steal my drinks?
"I'm..your son from the future."
