Barely On Time
"Suzuki-san, can I ask you something?"
When I felt the silence building up inside the car, I also felt the need to break it.
After dropping Mizuki at their school gates, the car turned back and was now on its way to my school.
Mizuki insisted on having Suzuki-san drive me near my school after all. Although I could still ride the train and not be late, I took the offer to make that girl satisfied.
However, ever since we left the vicinity of their school, I only heard Suzuki-san once when asked me for directions.
Like an obedient employee, she only nodded when I answered her and stopped asking any unnecessary things.
Well, she was already like this before so it's not surprising.
Of course, I could pass the time talking to my girls on my phone. However, after a year of not being with Mizuki as well as my realization of what I'm feeling for her, I wanted to hear what happened during that time.
