Chapter 6 - Him (2)

As I promised, I treat Toru-san with chocolate flavored ice cream. Bought it from the mini market, I also didn't forget to buy it for myself. Choose the same taste with him. (chocolate, I love chocolate ^o^ )

Giving one to him, while talking lightly about a few things. We agreed to continue our chat in a nearby park. I haven't bought my groceries yet, but I'll think about that later. More important things are in sight.

Arriving at the park, the two of us sat on the chairs provided, keeping our distance safely, we continued the conversation.

"Is that so. I guess it's really hard for you, Kawajima-san"

"a..hahaha, yeah. A little, but anyway, I do have to do homework. After all, my parents don't have the time. And... I don't hate doing it either"

Right now, Toru-san is asking me about my need for shopping. Thinking that I looked young, he asked if I didn't go with my mother. I told him that my parents were busy at work and I did most of the housework.

"Hee, you really are a diligent girl. I'm sure you will be a good wife in the future"

"W-wife?!! T-that!! T-thank you.... A lot..", what did he just say?! Good wife?! It's the first time someone complimented me like this, ahhh... I'm so embarrassed. Bowing my head as a habit, I covered my embarrassment. I bet my face is really red right now. Don't look at me Toru-san! Don't see!

"un, I'm sure of it", Toru-san smiled gently at me. Seeing his behavior like this, I couldn't help but think that he was a very good person.

"But... It will still take a long time, for me to become a... wife...", I muttered in a small voice. As I was about to answer him again, I began to imagine what if I became a wife. Usually women get married at the age of 23-25 ​​years, but can I do that too? I was skeptical. With my face like this, I doubt anyone will want me. It would already be a miracle if one day she had a husband.

But... If she had the chance to have one, she would want that person to be like Toru-san....

'?!! What am I just thinking about?!! Midori, that's rude! Be aware! '

"By the way, how old are you Kawajima-san? I was curious about this because you look young, almost like we are the same age", I snapped back from my daydream when Toru-san asked me. Forgetting the embarrassing things that were on my mind earlier, I looked at him for a while and replied, "umm... I'm currently 15 years old. Just graduated from middle school and starting next week I will start high school"

"What?!! ", it seems Toru-san was very surprised to hear my answer. He opened his eyes wide at my answer and had a face as if he couldn't believe what he had just heard.

Out of surprise, his face gradually smiled with joy and he again asked, "Which high school?"

"K-kamigaoka High school" I nervously answered his question.

"ehh?! That's where I'm going to school too!"

"Really?!" I was surprised to hear the answer. It turns out that Toru-san is going to the same school as me! Meaning he's only 15 years old too, I think he's older because of how mature he looks, maybe even fit to be considered as a senior. Hearing this boon, I don't know if I should be overjoyed or surprised, maybe both.

'Is this fate? ', I thought, holding back the smile that might appear on my face.

'No, no! Stop imagining you stupid Midori! He's not on your ugly level! ', I woke myself from a dream that couldn't possibly come true. (who knows, girl. Who knows? ~~ :))

Looking at Toru-san, I saw a man who was slightly above the average height of a man his age. With black eyes and hair, not a bad face, and a warm and mature aura. Looking back, he was indeed on a different level to her.

"Yeah, hahaha. Could it be fate? I was wondering~~" Toru-san smiled at me, looking happy with this fact. 'really a nice person, he doesn't hate knowing that we are in the same school, instead he looks happy'

"Then, since we will be going to the same school later, how about we become friends Kawajima-san? I want to know more about you, I think you will be a good friend"

"S-Sure!" I was glad to hear him ask me to be his friend. And of course, I gladly agreed.

After that, since it was already 10:30 in the morning and Toru-san might be late with some of his duties, we decided to stop and say goodbye to each other. After bidding farewell to each other, we headed off in the direction each of us was headed.

Happy with today's meeting, I continued my shopping time in a very good mood the whole trip, until I got home.

In front of me, is my home. Despite seeing the luxurious mansion in front of me, I didn't feel happy and only felt lonely. Opening the gate and entering, I opened the door and said, "I'm home" even though no one answered.

----------

Finished with my daily tasks, I went to my room to rest. Opening the door, what appeared before my eyes was a room that accompanies me from all loneliness. I went in and closed the door. Walks quietly to my study table.

'yosh, let's get started'

Taking the laptop stored there, I started typing quickly. The story goes like this, then like that, until it continues and ends like this.

Yes, I write to fill my spare time. Because my hobby is reading books, and when I read various kinds of excellent works, I always aspire to make such works by my own hands.

So, since 2nd grade of middle school, I started learning to write novels, and now, I want to make another, new novel.

'For some reason, today I feel that a lot of inspiration flows through my mind. I wonder why? '

While continuing to move my finger in front of the screen, I continued to write at a constant speed. For some reason, today I can write very stably without any problems, my mind seems clear and it feels very good.

But as I continued the story, I suddenly stopped. In an instant, I recalled the various events that happened this morning and couldn't help but think,

'...Is it because of him? ' I thought, not noticing the blush that appeared on my face.

'... It's like the story of a prince who saves his princess from danger... Hyaaaaaa! Again, what was I thinking?! Focus focus! '

My mind was distracted because of what happened to me earlier. To cover up the Moluccan taste, I continued typing quickly until I lost track of time.

That day, the sound of fast typing was heard from midori's room until late in the evening.

Little that we know, that day Midori made a new story about a prince who saved his princess from danger. Just like her fiery delusion, she wrote everything down with a smile on her face.

----------

Note: I know Ryousuke is acting a bit hypocritical here. He pretended as if he had just seen him which, in fact, he had seen before during the entrance exam. But please understand, he is also a human being and he wants to make a good impression that this is the first meeting of the two of them. After all, apart from wanting to make her as a friend, maybe Ryousuke had other more thoughts on his mind. Who knows~~? ʕ•ﻌ•ʔ
