-AOI ASAHINA-
I met up with Hina, agreeing to go on a light run through the school. After the run, we flopped in the hallway in a small heap. Hina seemed a little troubled.
"Ugh... Hey, Kuno... I'm so tired...", Hina mumbled.
"You do look a bit tired, what happened? Someone give you trouble?", I asked.
"No, not that... I woke up earlier than normal this morning, so I decided to do a push-up, sit-up, squat set. I ended up doing a thousand of each...", Hina explained. I almost chocked on the air when she said that.
"A thousand!? That would explain it...!", I gasped.
"Tired... so tired... I want... something sweet... I want those things you get when you mix flour, sugar, butter and eggs, then deep fry 'em...", Hina groaned.
"That's a weird way to say you want donuts...", I muttered.
"Don't tell anyone, but there's actually a bunch of frozen donuts in the warehouse...! Throw those in the microwave for a few seconds and just imagine... Imagine the warm chewiness of that donut! You know what I'm saying, right? You'd eat the crap outta that, right!?", Hina explained, almost drooling at the thought.
"You sure do love donuts, don't you?", I laughed a little.
"Is there anyone who doesn't? Who on Earth-no, who in the whole universe can say they hate donuts!? Think about the sensation of biting into a donut... First the sweetness floods your mouth, then the soft dough cushions you... Next you get that taste of egg and butter, right? Your whole body starts to melt... You feel like you're falling into the center of the donut itself! When people talk about the donut effective, that's what they're talking about...!", Hina grinned.
"I'm pretty sure that's not what they mean...", I deadpanned.
"Ahh, I can't take it anymore! I'm drooling like Niagara Falls over here! Get outta my way, Kuno, or I got an uppercut with your name on it!", Hina growled, making me jump out of the way. "Wait for me, God of donuts!", Hina ran off, as if her energy wasn't drained after our workout.
-YASUHIRO HAGAKURE-
I hung out with Hiro, hearing his weird stories with interest. Hiro suddenly grinned in the middle of his story and turned to me.
"I'm surprised how well you and me get along, Kuno! Seems like we hang out all the time these days.", Hiro smiled.
"Hehe, you're fun to hang out with!", I said with a small blush.
"Since we're such good friends, can I ask you something...? Wait! I totally realized something just now, completely out of nowhere! Say, Kuno... Have you been feeling down in the dumps? No energy, no spark?", Hiro asked.
"Um, I think so... With what's going on, I kinda feel down. But you don't have to help me, you know?", I shrugged with a pout.
"Oh, you don't have to hide it from me. I know what it's like, I've been there! And you know I'd recommend? This!", Hiro pulled out a crystal ball on a tiny pedestal.
"A crystal ball...?", I mumbled.
"Yeah!", Hiro nodded.
"And how is that going to help me?", I asked.
"Just hold on to it for a second! Here, here!", Against my will, Hiro shoved the ball in my hands. Although it was forceful, his hands did feel somewhat soft the split second they were in my hands... Hm. "Whaddya think? Nice and cool to the touch. Feels good, doesn't it?"
