The Present Or Future

Friends and friends

Not enough for 2 minutes. Haru was done with his food. After all, the girl still did not feel good as she consumed more of her food than Haru himself

"Oh, don't think about it. Luckily today I brought pocket money, so I can buy some bread later if I go home later. Oh, yaa... Speaking of money, why don't you go to the cafeteria to buy some food?"

"Yes, I rarely bring pocket money to school. I usually keep it for dinner at home"

"So you live there alone?"

"Yes, you could say I live alone in a fairly simple boarding house. My parents' financial condition has not been good lately. So I took the initiative to save my expenses"

"Ah, okay. Sorry I asked so casually"

"It doesn't matter, I should apologize because I'm so troublesome" the girl replied. He then notices the provisions brought by Haru and gives a little money, "this, take it. I don't know what to do, but at least this is enough to overcome your hunger later"

"Eh, it's okay. Just save that money for you to use later, you might need that money more than me"

"A-anu, then. Thanks ya! I really appreciate your help!"

"Yes, equally. The library guard?"

"Eh!? Misaki's. Misaki Sako!"

"Ah, then my name is Nakagawa Haru! Oh, aye. What are you going to eat for tomorrow?"

"Eh, what do you mean?"

"Yes, because you didn't bring anything to feed during the break. I'll try to make food for both of us to eat"

"Eh, seriously!? Then it's up to you. Whatever it is, I definitely like it!", replied the girl who introduced herself as Misaki by trying to smile for Haru, although she herself very rarely smiled at others

It made his expression look unnatural and a little pushy. But whatever it is, Haru is happy to see it. Haru then returns to her class to prepare for her next lesson

From then on, in the break. They both met at the same place and time. Slowly the two of them opened up to each other. Like, Misaki is one of the students who was accepted into the school with high grades, Misaki is a 2-A grade student who of course Haru just realized that. And there was much more Haru knew about the girl

The longer, the two of them got closer, not only limited to meeting, he also exchanged contacts and sent messages to each other until night.

Not just talking anymore, they sometimes do tasks together in the library. To the extent that the people who entered the library already considered it commonplace when seeing the two of them together

This made Haru even more happy with his new friend. But on the other hand, he forgot his true purpose

(D-DAMN IT..!! WHY DID I FORGET MY STORY!!)

On that day, it certainly made Haru even more panicked. He had even forgotten about the story plan that he had once remembered. All he knew was, he wanted to create a story with a fantasy theme that told someone who wanted revenge

In the morning, before the break begins. Mayumi, Haru's best friend, comes to her desk with her notebook. Mayumi just wanted to ask about one of her English assignments

The class saw both of them. When Mayumi glanced at him with her vengeful face. The entire class immediately did not dare to look at it anymore

"Anu... What are you doing here, Mayumi?"

"Eh!? Ah, sorry... I just wanted to ask you about this assignment. Do you know how this is done?"

"Oh this one? That easy. You just have to find out what the conclusion of the story is. That's it"

"Yes, it looks easy. But I'm having trouble translating the story"

"Aahhhhhhhhhh... Alright, alright. We start with the first paragraph..."

Haru then teaches Mayumi to translate some English words, so that Mayumi understands the meaning of the story. Mayumi picked up the stool at her desk and started sitting next to Haru, both of whom sat next to each other until the lesson began

Rin, Mayumi's best friend, smiled and said, "thankfully Mayumi, you found what kind of man you were looking for" with a happy smile. Unlike Akihiro, he did not dare to sit on his stool. Akihiro was worried that he was only interfering with the closeness of the two of them. But simultaneously, Akihiro is a little jealous of Haru and Mayumi's closeness

The lesson hours have begun. Before returning to his stool, Mayumi wanted to talk to him during the break. Haru says that he always goes to the library during breaks, so Haru suggests going to the library during breaks

(Donahhh... I want to continue writing my story. It's hard for me to say, but it looks like I have to postpone it once again)

At the break, as usual. Haru carries a 3-level bushel, which contains food in each level. Mayumi, who saw that was astonished by Haru

"What's my feeling, or do you always carry such a large supply?"

"Hee... That means your food's pretty good, right?"

"Well, haha. I'm not sure he ever said my cooking was good either. You can also come eat with us if you want"

"Ah, no. Thanks"

Arriving at the library, Haru then greets Misaki who is sitting at the library guard's special place. Then, Haru and Mayumi sat at the same table

"Where is the person you said it was Haru?", asked Mayumi

"Eh, haven't you seen that? It's Misaki" Haru replied

"Eh, wait a minute. You mean the girl you called earlier?"

"Yes, why?"

"Y-yeah, I was just a little surprised. I thought your dinner mate was a man"

"Haha, do you not refuse to eat with us because you are afraid to be close to other men?"

"It's not... Just—"

Suddenly Misaki comes and sits beside Haru. Haru then introduces himself to each of them. Fortunately Misaki was able to remain calm in front of the person she had just met

"So, how long have you guys been like meeting in a place like this?" asked Mayumi

Haru then replied, "well, maybe since I've been here? Maybe"

"Hee... That means it's been a while"

"By the way, let's eat. You're with Mayumi too?"

"Yes, yeah"

"Fortunately, we can divide this food into three parts. So I guess, everybody gets their rations"

It contains fried rice with a few fried eggs. For the first and second part contains fried rice. As for the third part contains an omelet and some additional saos on it

Finally, after dividing the food, Haru went to the back to once again search for a novel book to serve as his reference. Although Haru himself does not know whether he can write the story again or not

"Ah, wait a minute. I'm looking for a novel first. You two enjoy the food!"

"Wait, I'm coming! You eat Misaki first!", said Mayumi

"Ah... Alright"

Behind the library. Haru asks why Mayumi is coming with her. Mayumi calmly replied, "hey, I'm here to tell you one thing. Remember?"

"Ah, about that! Sorry, sorry. I almost forgot. So what do you want to talk about?"

"Are you busy when you get home from school?"

"Going to school? No. gabe. Why why?"

Mayumi then hid her shy expression by lowering her head while saying, "a-what are you going to be able to accompany me to go shopping later?"

"Eh, with me? Are you sure? Why don't you hire your best friend Rin?"

"I asked him about this. But he has training at his club when he comes home, so he can't. So, only you can accompany me"

"Why not tomorrow then?"

"Are you kidding me? The discount is only valid today. Many people also come just to chase discounts today. So I have to come any way"

"Hm... All right, but only for a moment" Haru replied
