The price of a moment, the significance of memories, the roads we tread on under the sole azure sky, and the value of life itself.
These mere things, once we do something to it-- will subject us to change, to meet a beautiful soul, and to love, unti...
Believe it or not, I could hardly contain my excitement, for I know a few days from now it'll be a joyful evening and here I am, beaming with anticipation.
Yoko noticed it.
"Oohh~~~ you're such in a good mood today, Yan-chan." She stopped her steps as she rocked back and forth on her feet, her voice sweet and teasing.
I'm amazed that there are three variations to Yoko's voice:
One, her natural speaking voice that is so sweet and delicate that it can lull a baby to sleep,
Two, the high, ear piercing tone she uses when she's fangirling,
Three, and the one I've yet to discover, a deep voice that she obtains when she has cold or runny nose, similar to a dreamy voice of a man.
"Something good just came up." I replied, fighting back a happy smile that was starting to consume the entirety of me, it radiates.
We stopped just outside our classroom as we started to have a leisurely chat. We met outside the school gates a while ago, and with time to spare before our first period started, we began our causerie.

"Wow, Yan-chan. So Akira Sendoh is your boyfriend, huh." She finished her sentence with a shoulder nudge, and I gave her a look to signal her to stop.
"Yeah..." I said, clearing my throat, "....it's really not that big of a deal."
For me, that is. The only big thing that's bothering me is when a day comes one of his fangirls would go beyond berserk and send both of us plummeting into trouble, much of all, into pain. Or maybe it's just me and I keep overthinking things.
I think of Sendoh just as a normal guy blessed with a handsome face and a carefree demeanor. His talent for basketball is just plus points, and if it weren't for that, he'd just be known as "The handsome guy of Ryonan", not "The handsome ace athlete of Ryonan".
Nevertheless, I think either of the two would still be a reason for admirers.
"I regret showing you those illustrations."
"Don't worry about it, you didn't know."
"But---"
"Plus, I think it's great that you showed someone how great of an artist you are. Speaking of, why is there a Rina Naruse signature on one of your illustrations?"
"I... er...."
"Yeah?"
"That's my pseudonym."
I FUCKING KNEW IT.
"So... you're taking that talent of yours to another level... have you told anyone about this?"
"Yeah, back then. Once I saw someone at a manga store and I told them that was me but they told me that I was being delirious, they didn't take me seriously. "I've gone mental" they said."
