Determined, I'll ask him the second I see him.

I put on my uniform,
lock up the house,
and head over to school.

The breeze was cool to the touch.
Pleasant as it kissed my cheek.

The weather was delightful too.
It was sunny,
bright,
warm.

For once I can agree with the weather.

"Julie~!"

A friendly and exuberant voice calls out to me.

I turn around,
smile,
and wait for her.

"Ruka!"

I wave to her.

She waves back with a beaming smile.

Then all of a sudden,

Our bodies collide,
our cheeks nuzzle against each other
as she embraces me.

"You're better now~ haha~! Hooray!"

"Ack... yes Ruka...! I'm fine...!
Uh... Ruka..."

"Yes?"

"You're... choking me...!!!"
