I had tried to sound so kind.... But a threatening karate hand position from a stranger would have startled even the bravest of people.
Yet I could see a smile starting to bloom on her face.
"Hello... I am Natsuki."
"Hello Natsuki..."
This is how you greet people, right? Being that one quiet kid only known to have 2 friends, greeting people wasn't my kind of thing, unless it was greeting a puppy, but who could fail at that?
Her smile started to melt away at me, did she even realize what she was doing?!

"If you want someone to guide you around school, and someone to be your first friend, I'm willing to be that person."
Crap, do I really sound as creepy as those strange men standing outside of white vans saying "free candy for little kids, just come into the van!" because that's how I sounded in my head.
I must have just blown it, a new opportunity to befriend somebody, and I probably just came off as a total creep. But almost to my surprise, a shocking response fills my ears.
"Yes please."

Excitement filled inside me. Am I turning bi... This is what happens when you are surrounded by two pansexual best friends 24/7.
"Ok... Just follow me Natsuki... We have lunch now"
My feet carry me to towards the exit, giving me the enchanting feeling that I'm a fairy guiding a soldier through an enchanting forest path.... No, this is reality.... I must get use to reality.
But I am still guiding Natsuki to the cafeteria, and just that seemed to make reality satisfying enough for me now.
Well for now.
Sometimes reality isn't always my taste in life though.
