part 5

waking up while feeling peace is one of the many things i've been looking forward to lately.

i wanted a morning i could just smile a little for the little things in life when i opened my window to greet a fresh new day.

and it was finally happening. i could have hope for once.

going to work somehow makes me feel better, unexpectedly.

mostly because it helps me get out of the negative aura of home.

and because i talk to a celebrity who is really kind?

the second reason sounds stupid, i know. but it still makes me happy.

i let out a sigh and stood up.

as i was getting dressed, i grabbed my phone and checked the time. 8 am.

it's already been thursday... time goes fast, huh?

i grabbed my gloves from the floor and put them on. not to be too revealing about specific things, that's all.

when i was finished i grabbed the key on my desk and turned right.

in front of me was the same door of always.

i put the key in and turned it around quietly.

just like that, time for breakfast.

for a person like me, the type who usually skips breakfast because of the laziness of being awake for just a few minutes only, i was feeling full of energy today.

quickly making a small toast, i grabbed it and walked   out of the house.

i have 20 minutes until work and well, walking there takes about 15 minutes too anyway.

as i see, there's no one on the streets yet. pretty normal considering it's still early in the morning.

and as i'm starting to work early, i'm going to leave late at night today too. appearantly sayaka's band has a concert today so that's why.

suddenly, my phone started ringing. i pulled it out from my bag.

it's early in the morning, i wonder what he's calling for,,

"good morning kyoko!"

"good morning too, makoto, why so early?"

"someone has a promise to me to tell about something they've been keeping as a secret!"

geez, does he really think it's something that can be told easily..

"i will tell you, i did promise"

"yep! i'm picking you up at the same time, right?"

"actually, no, i have a night shift, is 9 pm alright?"

"sure, and we're going to my house to talk afterwards!"

"we.. we can't, you know how my dad will get"

"ah come on kyoko, just call your uncle for tonight! pleaseee?"

well, at nights that i have no power left to deal with my father, i call my uncle. i call him only about 10 days a year though, not because i have a limit, i simply just don't wanna bother my uncle much.

"uhh.. maybe.. i'll call him and ask and then call you afterwards"

"yay! okay, talk to you later, then?"

"sure"

well, calling my uncle is plausible, i must admit. i haven't called him in a while and i really want to spend some time with my best friend too.

i dialed my uncle's number. not long after, it started ringing.

"hey kyoko, what's up?"

"hey, uh, could you come home to look at dad for until midnight? i really need some time alone"

"of course. i'll come at 4 and leave around 11"

"thank you"

now that i've cleared it, i opened messages and texted makoto "he said sure!" and put my phone back.

and it's already 8.20.. and i've arrived.

i walked in the building and then directly to the first dressing room.

fingers crossed, hoping it's sayaka's this time.

don't get me wrong, though, not to smell her clothes or anything... because talking to her is nice and she'll come there sometime eventually.

i checked the sign, excitedly.

"sayaka maizono"

is it just me or am i dreaming? it's literally hers.

appearantly this room hasn't been cleaned in 5 days and i even have to reorganize her closet.

so i'm eventually going to smell her clothes, then?

not that i want to or anything though, ew.

i pulled out the broom from the corner of the room and just as i was starting to clean, someone ran to the room.

now i'm almost sure this is all a dream. standing in front of me was sayaka, hyperventilating. what kind of luck do i have?

"ah! good morning!"

she brightened up a little and looked at me.

"good morning"

my response sounded too plain compared to hers.

she quickly brushed her hair, facing the mirror.

then she turned towards me again.

"goodbye!"

i waved to her. and this time she saw it.

well... i did expect her to come in the room, not this suddenly though. not that i'm complaining that i had to see her.

i sighed, and continued to clean. this is indeed going to be a long day.
