A door opened violently revealing Yumika who came out looking panicked. The full uniform was attached to her body with a bag hanging on her shoulders.
Her mother who glanced at her from the kitchen felt strange and confused, "Yumi, why are you in such a hurry??" Her question was astonished by raising next to her eyebrows while shaking her waist holding a large spoon.
"Otherwise? I want school! Mom why didn't you wake me? I'm gonna be late!" Say it by raising the tone one octave while tying the shoes faster.
"Is that so? When did you go to Sunday school, Yumi?" Hearing her mother's words made Yumika immediately stop her activities.
"Week? Isn't it Saturday?" Now he looks confused.
"Geez, Yumi~ How did you fall for it like this? Quickly change your clothes and we'll have breakfast." He said as he turned back and entered the kitchen again.
Yumika just kept quiet and put her shoes back on. He went to his room with a tired face.
He laid himself on the bed after a moment ago replacing his uniform with a bright blue short dress shirt and hotpants in matching colors.
Yumika could not sleep all night because of the many things that plagued her mind.
Including the incident yesterday afternoon.
Just imagine it, it was an impossible thing to happen between a female senior and a male junior. He still doesn't think his classmate likes him.
Forgetit.
He became sleep deprived and drowsiness began to approach him.
He closed his eyes for a moment, then glanced at the clock on the table.
"It's 10 o'clock." Mumbled. His eyes twitched with eyebrows raised next to him. Ah yes, he forgot today there was an appointment with Chino. They will visit a bookstore and have lunch together.
But the time is still long, it feels moving very slowly.
Feeling his stomach was not able to bear because it had not filled anything, he went down to breakfast whatever was on the table.

"Uh. I eat too much." he lamented as he stroked his stomach. Suddenly a BGM of classical music was clearly heard to bring light on the screen of his phone. Yumika picked it up and saw who called her, but there was no name on it.
Now he looks confused. Should he lift it or let it go? It was rare for a foreign number to call him, so suspicious. One time his phone stopped ringing, making him exhale a sigh of relief.
However, it ended shortly after the second time the phone rang again displaying the same number.
Are really. Rather than his calmness being disturbed like this, it was better for him to lift it up.
He grabbed it and shifted the green button.
"Hello?" Voice is crossed.
"Hello, with whom and what needs?" Ask by holding back a little bit of his regret. He should be sleeping right now, watching TV while eating a snack in his room.
Yumika is a person who likes to lie down and likes to be at home.
However, now he is facing the bully who is now calling him.
"Ah.. gomen, am I interrupting your time?" Speak with a soft voice. Yumika knew that the voice was a male voice.
Yep!! You are very annoying, quickly say what you want and get away.
"No. Who'sis this?" He said then, undoing the intention to say the very sentence he wanted to say.
"It's me.. Shiro. Do you have time this afternoon?" He asked still with a soft, distinctive voice of his.
Huh uh?! The shiro? How does he know my number?!
"How.. Do you know this number? I forgot to tell you before." He raised his eyebrows, strange.
"Oh. I asked your friend. So, is this afternoon Yumi Senpai free time? I have 2 tickets to watch. If you don't mind, I'd love to take you." Said Shiro, a little enthusiastic.
"Ah. gomen, I have an appointment with Chino this afternoon." Yumika said a little awkward even though they did not meet face to face though.
"Souka's? Well, then, can you have the night?" Ask the voice across with a slightly disappointed voice.
"If it can." Yumika said as she held her phone slightly tightly.
"Yokatta~~! that's it, in front of XZ station at 7. Waita! See you later~!" He said impatiently and then heard the connection cut off from across the phone.
This was the first time Yumika had chatted with Shiro over the phone.
His voice sounded different from the original. Even so, Yumika was a little relieved because she became more free to respond. Not like when they were alone.
Yumika hopes that she can chat with him like a friend, since they now meet more often and know each other quite a bit. But, is that so?
Yumika hesitated a bit.
He put his phone back in place.
Rather than dizzying things complicated and giving him a headache, he finally laid his body down for a moment while slowly closing his eyes.

"Yumi-chan, Yumi-chan!" Shouted the hoarse voice of someone, shaking Yumika's shoulder by supporting her weakly lying body on the shore.
"Please, open your eyes!! Yumiy-chan!!" The voice did not tirelessly disturb the hearing of Yumika who was now twitching her forehead. Instantly he coughed and vomited water from the corner of his lips.
"Yappariii~ Thank goodness!! Yumi-chan is fine!" A second later, the black-robed man hugged Yumika as if afraid she would go far.
"I. where?" Weakly Yumika blinked her eyes looking around.
'..The sea? It's chilly..'
The man let go of his embrace and touched Yumika's cheek with a worried look in her eyes.
Now he turned to look at the man who had called his name. However, his figure was covered in shadows.
"Yumi-chan! I thought I was gonna lose you. Gomen, I didn't know it was gonna be like this. Why didn't you say? You should have said you couldn't. You're making me very worried.." Yumika could not see the man's face. But his voice sounded sad. He worried about Yumika, very.
"Yumi-chan..why don't you answer me at all? Gomen. Then, put this on." He said by reaching into his wet pants pocket.
A bracelet, like a handcraft.
"Pair with me! Bagusan! But, it was a little wet from the water. It doesn't matter." He said happily, revealing a bracelet wrapped in three different colors.
Yumika only looked at him with a hot face while accepting it.
"Well, let's go home and warm up! Otherwise, you will get sick!" His smile while standing up and extending his hand to Yumika.
'Stupid. whereas he also got wet all because of me..'

"Eum.eum..." Yumika stretched her body lazily.
What time is it..
He saw the clock on the table.
1 Hour past 10 minutes.
He didn't think he would sleep that long.
Fortunately, his appointment was at 2 o'clock, and he rushed to get ready to meet Chino in front of the store.
A glimpse of a boy's shadow flashed through his mind.
He paused for a moment and knitted his two eyebrows together.
Did I dream of him just now?
Yumika thought hard, but that figure was invisible as well. Only a jet-black mane became his memory back then. Who her? Does Yumika know him? Why is it so hard to remember his face?***
