part 7

feeling my hands shake, i was in complete shock of what just happened.

this is definitely something i won't forget in a long time, i know that for sure.

i was... i was able to talk to her.

just like i'm a friend of hers.

still thinking about this, i snapped out of the moment with the chime that came from my phone.

a new message.

"i'm outside :D"

i grabbed my bag as i sighed once again.

i looked at the mirror which was placed on my left.

i just stared at my own reflection for a few seconds.

me, kyoko kirigiri, finally being able to have a formal conversation with a stranger...

is it just me or did i start to... change?

it feels like i've started to find more meaning in small things... that's pretty new.

i have somewhere to be right now too... an evening to enjoy.

walking towards the door, i opened it and made my way to the office.

i'm getting my first payment today after all... yay.

i stood in front of the desk when a lady approached me and handed me the money.

my first job money... yay.

i opened the front pocket of my bag and placed it there and walked outside,, and right to the car waiting for me.

"finally, miss kyoko wasn't a coward to ask his uncle for a nice night"

makoto laughed, and i just smirked. he wasn't wrong, but i just don't wanna bother my uncle a lot with this kind of stuff.

"i don't wanna bother him, you know"

"anyways... now that you finally asked, we can have a nice night aswell"

he said and started driving.

"so..."

"yeah?"

"i'm also going to be learning about that little secret of yours, righttt?"

oh, that's right... i promised to tell him about that yesterday.

"i will when we arrive! god, can you be any more impatient?"

i said, and we both laughed.

"fine, fine!"

a couple of seconds later, we've finally arrived.

it's been a while since i last came here... well, i do have my reasons.

"come on"

he said, and rang the doorbell.

we waited for a little, and then a familiar face opened the door.

"ah, don't tell me you forgot to take your key again."

"sorry mom, but hey, you opened the door after all!"

makoto's mom rolled her eyes at him and looked at me.

"plus, you didn't even say hey to me, so i'll only say welcome to kyoko!"

the three of us laughed.

"come in!"

miss naegi said, and we walked in.

just like that, i was at a house i liked to call home more than my actual home.
