She stared at the calendar in her journal, her eyes being the only hint of her hidden emotions.
Airi could only sigh in defeat when she realised it had been two whole months since she had seen her mother. She didn't receive a phone call or even a text message from her mother after the Sports Festival, not that any of it mattered anymore since she didn't even win the competition.

The familiar tone of cheery voice snapped her back to her senses, as she lifted her head away from staring at her journal and smiled when she saw her black haired friend walking in the class.
"Morning, Momo."
She walked to her desk and placed her books, eyeing the girl in curiosity.
"You're here early."
"What are you talking about? I'm always early.", Airi stated matter-of-factly.
Momo chuckled slightly. "I know, but earlier than usual. Plus, its the weekends after the Sports Festival. I thought you would be later than usual."

"Oh, right!", Momo walked to her desk, "Congratulations on getting 3rd for the Sports Festival!"
And just like she had guessed, Airi's face brightened slightly, her lips in a small smile as she responded with a,
"Thanks, Momo. You weren't so bad yourself. Tokoyami can be quite merciless sometimes, so your defeat was very understandable.", Airi reassured, knowing she had been considering the bird boy as a tough opponent for her.
