Hope in paper form

I unfold the paper.

"please after club activities come to the parking lot near the school I have something important to tell you.

thanks in advance

from Yuri <3

p.s I'm really sorry for never helping you when you were bullied before and I know this must be super suspicious... still, hope you come! ..".

is this a love letter? wait..

Yuri... if I remember correctly she is one of the two girls that always hang out with April. I think she is in the tennis club. that makes me kind of wonder whether this is a prank or not. well she did apologize in the letter so maybe its not a prank?...

thinking about it I enter the classroom and I catch Yuri looking at me from her seat. our eyes connect for a moment and than she smiles an adorable smile and looks away.

...wow maybe I entered my popular phase or something.

just kiding. but still that was a cute smile. and she is very pretty, not as pretty as the April but she is still definitely out of my league.

unlike me her hair is actually blonde and it is always done in a single braid that sits on her left side. she is a taller than me, if I had to guess she is probably around the 10 cm taller.

she has this cozy look and thinking about it she never actually bullied me.

sure she was always there since she is close to April but she never actually participated in it herself.

I'm getting ahead of myself it is most likely some evil prank April thought about but I will go just in case and if I see April I will run away. I'm pretty fast after all.

class starts and the teacher start talking. as usual I try to talk to my current unlucky deskmate*, I think his name is shoji and like my previous deskmates he completely ignores me as well. after about a minute of tying I gave up.

after class ends I head to the field where the track club activities are. nobody is in the field but Urie senpai, the only person that speaks to me at school other then the teachers obviously. usually atleast three other people show up altho there are days like this one as well. I have never seen Urie skip track pracrice and since I never skip practice myself I can confidently say that he has never skipped practice since the school year started. before that? I dont know since he is a third year and I'm a freshman.

"hey Urie senpai!"

"...hello"

and there he goes, starting to run circles around the field.

yup cold as usual. apparently his girlfriend cheated on him and then started some rumors about him so now he is a loner.

we are pretty similar thinking about it. I should cherish this bond between us loners.

I do my stretches and after I feel like I stretched enough I put my headphones on put a good song I found yesterday and start running as well. I keep running faster and faster until I completely exhaust myself. this is the best after all. this feeling of the air hitting my face everything going slightly blury and slower the feeling that I cant be stopped...

after club activities ends I head to the parking lot and wait.

after about forty five minutes of waiting and listening to that same song on repeat (yup I'm never going to listen to it again) she finally shows up. she stops and looks around a bit, when she notices me she smiles and signals me to go to a nearby large alley.

after a second of careful consideration I decide to follow her.

I head into the alley and there she is waiting, leaning on the wall in a cool pose like a movie character.

after a short brief of silence she finally says something.

"hey... thanks for coming. to be honest I was sure you werent gonna come lol"

"I wont lie I was sure this is some kind of a new mean prank April thought about.. so is it a prank? "

she looks a little hurt.

"ouch so you really don't trust me do you. if it were a prank then April would have been here aswell right? well I guess its understandable after everything we did to you".

"well if this is about you wanting to apologize then its fine. you never did anything to me anyway. actually I'm pretty tight on time I promised to my sister that I will pick her up from school" .

thats a lie as Kana said she wanted me to pick her up in the evening and its only barely 2 pm right now. not like Yuri knows tho.

"lol why are you being so formal? how old is she? do you have any pictures?".

woah thats a lot of questions. unlike her looks she is pretty direct.

"ehm she is 14, a freshman in Uga middle school. pictures? ah you mean pictures of her, just a second I will check my phone".

she looks pretty surprised.

"ohh thats totally a coincidence I also wend to Uga middle. by the way isnt she a little bit too old for you to pick her up from school? are you some kind of a siscon? lol"

is that not a rude question?

"eh is that so? (I show her a picture of my sister) well it can be dangerous sometimes around where we live so just in case I alwas pick her up. also isnt every big brother a little bit of a siscon".

"lol no way. my big brother hate my guts. also your sister is super cute by the way".

finally someone who understands the cuteness of my little sister. there is no way she is a bad person.

"I know right! so you went to them same school I didnt know thats cool" I start realizing maybe this isnt a prank after all.

"yeah..anyway the reason I called you here is because I thought it was cute how you are always trying so hard to get along with people even tho you are getting treated so poorly so.."

"...so?"

she blushes a bit. cute. looking more closely it seems like her eye color is something between green and light brown. what a pretty color.

"so what I wanted to ask is you whether you want to hang out with me today but since you have your siscon duties I guess the answer is no uh?".

its definitely not a prank. I feel bad for doubting her... I should probably apologize for lying.

"well. actually I'm sorry I lied about having to pick up my sister. she told me she will hang out with her friends untill late today so actually I'm free until the evening if you still wanna hang out."

she looks a little mad for a second and then she smiles.

"well I'll take you up on your offer as long as I get to choose where we are going".

what a nice girl..

"..deal we will do what ever you want your majesty".

she grinns start going outside of the alley.

"very funny so are you coming or what?"

I follow her.

*there is no seat order in the school. its decided as first come first served.
