give me hope

In a few moments, I will see Mr. Satoru again. Sitting on a seat on the bus, I can't wait to see him again. The girls sitting behind me strongly encouraged me. Besides, Mr. Ackermann is not present, which means he will not be watching me. Like he usually does.

If all is well, Mr. Satoru is already waiting for me in the main square. And the idea that he is even now waiting for me increases my nervousness, as does my happiness.

-Not too stressful? , asks Maddi behind to my right.

I turn my head slightly to see his reflection in the bus window, and answer him with a soft smile.

-Yes so much, if you only knew.

Maddi smiles back at me and I see Mina sit up in her seat.

-I can't wait to see the beautiful teacher, who once took my friend's heart.

Mina laughs briefly, as does Maddi.

-Hope it looks as good as your description.

I blushed quickly as I let go of her gaze, the glass, for the doors on my notebook in my hands and my little backpack.
