It was late in the school year.
The crisp breeze blew against my face as I had sat on the swing set, the night seemed very dreadful. Despite that, I was honestly pretty upset my brother lied about being the ace and what-not.
I couldn't bring myself to see the importance in him explaining himself. A stupid game lead my brother to lie, how pitiful.
But somehow I was so deep in thought that I didn't notice her taking a seat next to me.
"Why the long face bud?"
I looked up and saw a cute girl, she looked as if she were in middle school as well. She didn't seem to have much height on her either.
"Huh?" Is what I said to her.
"You look blue"
"I'm japanese.."
"No no! I meant blue as in sad!"
"Oh-"
She picked up a black bag off the ground and rummaged through it as if something important was in there.
"Here, have this" she pulled out a small container that seemed to have a mini cake in it.
"And this is..?"
"Strawberry cake of course!"
"Ew sounds gross"
"hey! Don't be a sour puss, just try it!"
She shoved it into my chest as she puffed her cheeks out. "Fine I suppose" with that I took the container and examined the cake sitting inside it.
"Spoon" she handed me a spoon. I then opened the container and took a bite.
In that moment I knew..
This would be my favorite dessert.
After that day I never encountered her again. She was like a fever dream that lived in my head.
I wanted to meet her again.
I had to.
