"Kusari!!"

I turned my head towards the entrance of the empty classroom to see my friend storming into the room with an excited skip. He was carrying a newspaper and had a huge excited smile on his face.

"Good evening, Amane." I smiled, holding my head in my hand. He blinked as he sat down, his smile fading a little.

"Oh, r-right. Good evening," He blushed when I laughed. "A-Anyways! Take a look at this!" I glanced down at the paper he tossed on the table and unrolled it in my hand. It read about how "Appolo 8 has been sent into orbit!" I glanced up at Amane who seemed to be blushing with excitement, his dull orange eyes finally holding some glimmer. He has stood up with one hand on the desk and one in front of him in a fist. "I listened to the radio report on the news last night! It was so interesting!!" He chirped, fiddling with the edge of the paper in his hands. "I'm glad I knew what most of them were talking about since they were using such high-tech words and vocabulary."

"Nawh." I said with joking disappointment. "You should have recorded the report so we can listen to it together.." I mumbled. He looked down at me with a smirk, his eyes squinted. He reached into his bag.

"Seems like we are on the same page, Kusari." He said, pulling out a tape recorder. "Voila!"

I sit up, my smile widening. "So.. The report is on this?"

"Yep! I waited for it to come on and while waiting I realized you weren't home that night, so I decided to record it for you."

"Such a gentleman." I jokingly swooned, glancing at him to see him covering his mouth while he giggled, his face slightly red. I got distracted by his laugh. He has such a wonderful laugh. It always makes my heart ski-.

"Kusari?"

I looked away, my face slightly red. "Yes?"

"Do you want to listen or just stare at me?" He chuckled at my red face.

"Y-Yeah. Sorry."

He sat down and clicked on the record. There was a crinkling before a voice started. It started with a time and date, and how much time they had left until it blasted off. I felt myself shuffle in my seat, leaning towards the record. The man kept talking and they started talking to the crew.

I heard a little excited giggle from in front of me, and I glanced up to see Amane holding his head in his hands, looking down at the record. I smiled before looking out the window, my eyes reflecting the orange sky.

"15 more minutes." He mumbled, and I could hear his excitement in his voice.

A few more minutes pass and we both have stood up at this point, waiting for the five-minute countdown with excited chatter. Soon, they both stopped when they heard a loud "Five."

"Four!"

"Three!"

"Two!"

"One!" We both chirped with the man, giving each other a small high-five. I jumped on my feet as we heard clapping from the recorder. Celebration came from with excited chatter by the scientists. Amane walked over to the chalkboard, drawing a few things.

"Right now Appolo 8 is in the moon's orbit and will soon be orbiting back to Earth. About tomorrow they should be heading back to Earth." He explained from his drawings.

"Oh, okay!" I said, walking over. "Do you think they will do something for Christmas?"

"Probably.."

"Do you want to come over for Christmas, Amane?"

Amane stopped to think, a smile on his face. "Yeah. Sure. I guess it could work."

I smile, grabbing my bag. "Perfect! I guess I'll be seeing you at my house tomorrow then."

Amane smiled, grabbing his bag. We both walked out of the class and walked down the school hall. We both made small talk and soon we got to the entrance of the school. I smiled and kissed his check surprisingly. He gave me a surprised gasp, his face rising in a red hue.

"An early Christmas gift.. See you tomorrow, Amane!"

Amane touched his cheek lightly, his face a bright red. "Y-..Yeah. See you tomorrow.." He whispered watching the bubbling peach-haired girl skip away.

..

I woke up, blinking away the feeling on my lips, and the warmth on my cheeks. Again. It always happens..

Why couldn't I remember his name? Who was this boy?
