Long-awaited Date (1)
Casting away the other thoughts in my head, I held Shizu’s hand tightly as we started our journey outside the school grounds. We had no set destination but for now, just the company of each other seemed to make us tremble with excitement on how this day would end.
The night had yet to fall but given that it was already past five o’clock in the afternoon, the sky was already tinted orange. The busy street outside the school also seemed like a different place than before. No uniformed students walked around or stayed at some corner to pass some time.
A few steps out and the silence engulfed us. I looked at Shizu walking quietly by my side and caught her staring at me.
With her clear, round eyes filled with her deep thoughts, a small smile bloomed from her lips.
“What? Can I not stare at my man?”
“I haven’t said anything yet.”
The way she said that would surely make anyone’s heart skip a beat and then her following giggle would spell their death sentence.
