Spending the day with Aya

The school day passed by as eventfully as always. At least, for me. Like I planned, I stuck with my lovely birthday girl even in our classes, where we had to go to another room, like the science lab. The girl was adorably flustered by the attention that her cheeks remained in a near-constant shade of pink as I made sure she felt like the center of my world today.

Between classes, I’d slip her little notes with doodles and sweet messages. It was such a little thing, but each one made her giggle in appreciation. She’d respond with sneaky kisses and some intimate gestures like holding my hand or leaning close to me.

At one point, I handed her the draft she was asking for about that short story I narrated to her last night. She then began supplementing additional details, making it a more colorful world with perspectives from both characters.
