"Averell."
Immersing in my cogitation draws my attention away from my surroundings, not to mention that I have been keeping my eyes on the street as I walk, until the moment when a pair of feet in black leather shoes enter the range of my vision.
Simultaneously I hear a voice of a boy calling my name. Luckily I manage to stop my feet before I bump into him with my head. When I raise my head and take a look, I see a boy standing in front of me——
He wears the same uniform as mine; He has his bag with him, seemingly just left the campus like I did… His sandy blonde hair and those mahogany brown eyes somehow look familiar to me…
I don't feel like I know him, but I have definitely been seeing him a lot, at a place where I need to be within a fixed daily routine, and a place where a long duration of my presence is required…
