Naoto

Makoto's POV

"Bye guys!" After I parted ways with the others I went straight home, I said I was busy but actually I'm not. I'm just not in the mood to hangout today "Guess i'll just go straight home"

I walked all the way home "I'm home!" I opened the door and saw my sister working in the living room.

"Oh Makoto it's rare to see you home this early what's up?" She asked.

"Oh nothing, just feel like it" I replied.

"Hmm okay then go ahead and get change i still got a few works to do" She said.

I nodded and went to my room and changed to my casual clothing. I lay down on my bed and just space out.

Not long after that my sister called "Makoto can i ask you a favor?"

I got up and came down to her "Yeah? what is it?" I asked.

"I want to try to make a fruit salad but we are out of fruit. Can you buy some? My work is still not done" She replied.

"Sure why not i got nothing else to do anyways" I said.

"Thank you, the list is on the kitchen table" She pointed at the kitchen table.

I took the note from the kitchen and headed to the groceries store.

I bought the fruits written on the list "Huh i still have some leftover money" I decided to go to a nearby vending machine and buy juice. After that I continued making my way home.

On the way home I saw a cute white cat sitting on the side of the street I couldn't resist so I walked up to it and tried to pat it.

It's surprisingly pretty docile; let me pat its head.

"Hey aren't you?" A sound of a familiar young man called from behind me.

I quickly turned around and my guess was right "Ah! Naoto what are you doing here?" I ask.

"I just got home from school," He replied.

I looked at him and I was surprised he was wearing the same uniform I am wearing. "Isn't that Sakura-High uniform?" I asked.

"Yeah it is my 3rd year, could it be that you are also from Sakura-High?" He asked.

"Yeah I'm a 2nd year" I replied.

"What a coincidence huh?" He said.

"Yeah it is i never actually see you in school"

"Hahaha I wonder why" He laughed.

I then stood up and bowed "Thank you again for saving me. I tend to space out when I have a lot of things in my mind so I don't pay attention to my surrounding" I apologized.

"Hey c'mon I said it's fine, anyways what are those?" He points at the plastic bag on my hand.

"Oh this is just groceries my sister asked me to buy" I showed him the fruits.

"Want me to accompany you home? My house is this way as well so why not" He said.

"Well if that's the case then sure why not" I accepted his offer.

We both walk together and chat along the way.

"By the way back in those fields, what are you doing there?" He asked curiously.

"Oh no particular reason, I just like traveling all around the place. I love seeing something new," I replied without telling him the real reason.

"Oh me too! I like traveling too. I have a lot of pictures of the place I visited look" He showed me the pictures of all the places he visited.

I was amazed I haven't been to the place he went to "oh wow where is this?" I point at the picture of a sunset view.

"Oh this? It's actually nearby you know that old bridge? It's around there" He replied.

"Ohh i'll check it the next time i have the chance"

Soon after we arrived at my house "thanks for accompanying me. Do you not want to come inside and drink some tea?" I offered.

"I'm sorry I have to decline. I have a lot of homework so I need to hurry home," He said.

"Ohh okay then, hey let's exchange contact let go exploring together next time" I said.

"Oh sure" we both exchange our contacts after that he then leaves.

"Huh it's easier than what i see in dramas"

I opened the house door and my sister was standing on the other side.

"Who was that?" My sister asked.

"Oh right i haven't told you" I told my sister all that happened from yesterday all the way to today.

"Wait what!? You almost got run over? Why didn't you tell me? Are you hurt?" She panicked.

"Sis calm down it happened yesterday if i was hurt i wouldn't be buying fruits by now wouldn't i?" I said.

"I suppose you are right next time something like this happens tell me okay you almost gave me a heart attack" She let out a sigh of relief.

"Okay c'mon help me make the salad"

I came in with my sister and helped her make the salad after it was finished. We both sat down and enjoyed it together.

"Oh this turned out great for a first try" my sister said.

"Wait, this is your first try? You made it so well" I asked surprised.

"Hahaha yep I only saw it on the Internet and I suddenly want to make it so I just follow the recipe" She replied.

"Wow, that's impressive," I said.

"Hehe"

Bzzt bzzt

My sister's phone vibrated.

"Huh? It's my editor hold on i need to pick this up" She said and i replied with a nod.

"Hello? Yeah? Wait what? Is he okay? I'll come over" She hung up the call and let out a sigh .

"My illustrator is sick so my next volume will be delayed. I'm going to his house now." My sister immediately wears her jacket.

"Hey hey bring him the leftover salad I'm sure he'll love it" I suggested.

"Oh right it might help him get better" She took the leftover salad "Okay i'll be going now take care okay?" She said as she left.

"You too sis take care!" I shouted.

The house suddenly felt lonely so I decided to go to my room and take a book and spend my time reading.

I took the book that I bought yesterday, "The Cat Beyond Time." I told a story about a cat that dreamed of being a human.

One day it turned into a human girl she was so happy but it seems it isn't permanent she kept changing back and forward at random times.

One day she met a human boy and she fell in love with him but a shocking accident happened and the boy died.

She was so depressed one day she woke up and saw the boy again as if she reversed time and then started the story of the young cat trying to save the human boy.

"Hwa soo romantic"

"I must give this book to Shishiro. Sometimes I'm sure she will love it," I thought to myself.

I kept reading until the ending tear came running down from my eyes because of the very tragic ending.

I decided to put the book back in the bookcase and make dinner.

"I wonder how long it is until sis comes back" I wondered.

I made a simple fried rice with a sunny side up egg and set it up on the table.

Soon after that my sister came back.

"I'm back! I smell fried rice" She said as she opened the door and smiled.

"Sis your back cmon lets eat!" I said.

"Yeah I'm starving" She replied while holding her stomach.

We both sat down and ate our dinner. After that, like always, she went to her laptop and continued to write. I really like looking at how serious she works at something.

As for me I went to the bathroom and took a shower, after I freshened up I went back to my room getting ready to sleep.

But before that I took my diary and sat down.

"Dear diary today nothing interesting happened but i manage to meet Naoto again and exchanged contact with him i hope i can go and travel with him sometimes i wonder when can that be"

Bzzt bzzt

My phone vibrated. I took my phone and there was a message from Naoto. I quickly opened the message.

"Hey are you free this saturday? I found a really good photo spot" He sent me a picture.

"Yeah i'm free this looks really good wow" I replied.

"Great! let's go there together i'll come over at 5pm see you this saturday!"

I couldn't help but to smile.

"Scratch that something interesting did happen today it seems me and Naoto will be going on a travel much sooner than i thought i'm happy"

"i guess life is full of unexpected turns of events you can never tell what is going to happen but i guess that's what's fun about it"
