Summer

The one thing I can't understand
People always say love is happy, something you need to experience for once, But for me, a girl who lives in a broken family. It's really painful.
The dilemma of "choose between father and mother" in court, which began when she was 8 years old, left a dark mark on her childhood.
Now, she has grown into a 16 years old girl
she is no longer a little girl who cries when her parents argue
I sat bored in the seat, looking causualy at the window where the sunlight gently drifted with the breeze .The teacher was still writing on the board while my mind lost in thought
Larie Narasaki
" after the rain..sun will shine again "
Larie Narasaki
" perhaps..? "
My mind wandered to a status update I read last night
That's a motivational post
It left me feeling lost all morning
?
Teacher: hey!! Larie, stand up
I stood up, looked at the teacher, I gripped the collar of my shirt tightly.
?
Teacher: what are you doing here?Lost in thought or dreamy in the class?
Larie Narasaki
I'm sorry... teacher
The teacher rolled her eyes
?
Teacher: alright, Don't do it again.
The others giggled silently. Maybe they found it amusing to see an introverted girl being scolded again.
Keari
Hey hey...why are you so easy to be distracted lately?
( Larie and Kaeri have been friends for 2 years when the two were arranged to sit and share a table )
Larie Narasaki
I'm fine..just thinking
Keari
if something happened to you..you have to tell me, alright..?
Larie Narasaki
I give you my word
Kaeri nodded in agreement and turned back to continue working on her assignment
I sighed inwardly.
I always like that - complex inner world
A few moments later, the bell rang
someone
students : yaaaaahuuu, It's time to play.!!
The air was filled with hustle and bustle, laughter and chatter, friends making plans to go to the canteen or take a walk
Keari
/ stretch / um...I'm so bored..how about going to somewhere?
I hesitated for a moment then nodded
Anyway, I need some walk to clear my mind

the lobby full of students walking and talking together, a smile approval in their faces.
I am walking slowly with Keari; we are talking about the next lesson.
Keari has been my friend since I was an innocent freshman. She is a talkative person, like a radiant sun, whereas I am just a shy girl.
I even remember when I stepped into the class in confusion a year ago. Keari was the one who proactively approached and talked to me.
I was shy and confused at first. But as time went by, I gradually opened my heart and was no longer shy or awkward
Keari
Hey hey, Larie. would you like some juice?
Kaeri stopped next to a vending machine, she looked at me and asked
I placed my hand on my chin, thinking a while then I said
Larie Narasaki
Um..it's up to you..
Keari
Uh huh? alright.. So..I will buy a can of strawberry juice for you
Larie Narasaki
Thank you, Kaeri
Kaeri put two coins into the vending machine and press the button.
Then, she handed me a can of strawberry juice, she kept a can of grape juice for herself in her other hand
A deep, warm voice rang out
Kira Westion
Could you please move aside a little so I can buy some more water?
I turned around and looked at him - Standing before me was a tall, handsome young man, but his dark eyes had slightly dark circles.
This was the first time I had ever met him.
My fear of strangers flared up.
Larie Narasaki
Ah...y-..yes..
I quickly pulled Keari away, since we had already finished shopping anyway.
Keari
Come on Larie! Calm down
Keari felt a little helpless when she was being pulled by me
Keari
don't always become a shy kitten like that!! people don't bite
Larie Narasaki
I know...b-but..
she had a inner demons that cannot easily be overcome

she raised her hand as if surrendering
Keari
Alrighttt, you're stubborn
I blinked, then pouted slightly
Larie Narasaki
I'm just uhm..
I felt a little speechless
Keari
Just don't like approach strangers, right?
Larie Narasaki
Yes, it's normal
Larie Narasaki
It's normal to be wary of other people
Keari
Yes yes, I know right
Keari
but you are so dramatic about it
Keari
every time a stranger stands even slightly close to you, you startle, your face was timid and fearful, like a rabbit encountering a wolf
Keari
Yes, you are like a bunny
I listened to the teasing, my face blushing
Larie Narasaki
W-..what..?
As they walked down the hallway, Keari kept teasing me
Larie's face turn red like a tomato
I left school and walked along a road bathed in the setting sun
The sunlight cast a peachy-orange glow upon her.
I walked past a shop, then I stopped
Larie Narasaki
" Maybe I need to buy some food for dinner.."
So I step into a shop, choose some food for tonight
Lucky, the shop have a little bit others, I went to a quiet corner to choose my food
Then, I saw a boy who I accidently met this morning
He stood still, looking at the ingredient list on a can of cat food.
I quickly avert my gaze, focus on my shopping
Larie Narasaki
" He remind me..maybe I should visited a cat that I met yetsterday.."
Then, I quickly went to the place where I had encountered a stray cat I'd seen yesterday – in an alley.
I was suprised when I saw him feeding a cat
He knelt on one knee, feeding the cat, and smiled warmly.
Kira Westion
Kitten Kitten, poor you when being alone here
But I ran away after that
Kira Westion
" did I look scary? "
