Nao packed his stuff after classes have ended.
For some reason, he kept waiting for this time of the day.
He grasped the phone from his pocket.
"Hana,
I'm on my way.
Are you there?"
There was a smile on his face as he typed the message on his phone.
He returned the phone to his pocket and picked up his bag.
Today was just a normal day, both for her and for him.
That's why he was very uncertain with what he was feeling.
For the first time in a while, he cherished the company of another person.
But so what? What was different this time?
He couldn't quite grasp his feelings.
Nao walked outside the classroom and prepared to go to the fields as usual.
There was another person in the hallway.
Him.
Miura Toru.
He was checking his phone on the hallway, passing time.
He wore a brown hoodie which he put inside the school uniform.
He faced Nao's direction, and smiled.
"Oh, it's you again. Sorry for yesterday."
He approached Nao in a relaxed pace.
"Sorry, but it's not everyday that I get to see you smile."
He tapped Nao's shoulder.
"Did something happen yesterday?"
