Did you see Akiko sakai's new hairstyle? She looks amazing!" one said.
"I know,right? she's so perfect." Another girl replied.
Hiroto matsuda walked through the school gates,the cherry blossoms blooming above him.He felt a sense of nostalgia wash over him as he thought about the year ahead.As he walked to his locker.He overheard snippets of conversation from other students.
Hiroto was in the same class as Akiko sakai.but he never talked to her.She was a popular girl , beautiful and cute.So students and her classmates called her as Angel.
Of course it was a metaphor .
Nevertheless Akiko sakai was cute and beautiful the metaphor was truly not a joke.
Her flax-colored straight hair was well-maintained, smooth, and glossy, her clear white skin smooth and unblemished. She had a nice nose, a pair of large eyes beneath her long eyebrows and fine-looking bright pink lips, and combining all these traits, she had a delicate, doll-like beauty
She was in Hiroto school and in the same year, and he often heard of what others said of her. Most said she was a girl of brains and brawn.
In fact, she had maintained first place in every exam they took, always acing during gym classes.
Hiroto knew few details about her as they were in different classes, but if the rumors were true, she was a perfect superhuman.
She had no obvious flaws, a nice face, outstanding grades, and was humble and obedient. It was no wonder she was popular.
Some boys would be utterly envious at the prospect of living next to such a pretty girl.
Despite that, Hiroto did not intend to do anything to her, and did not think he could.
Of course, Hiroto too felt that the girl Akiko Sakai was truly charming.
Hiroto, your nose is noisy.
Youre noisy.
The following day, it was Hiroto who caught a cold.
His classmate, or rather, best friend Hiroshi Takashi, noted how noisy Hiroto was, and Hiroto wanted to snort back, only to fail.
Instead, he was sniffing while trying to breathe through the nose. In a sense, he was snorting away.
He was feeling utterly unwell, and his head was in stinging pain, either because his nose was blocked, or because of the cold.
He had taken some medication he bought from a pharmacy, but the symptoms never faded, and he ended up like this.
His face contorted as his nose met the tissue again. Hiroshi in particular looked more dumbfounded than worried.
Werent you feeling fine yesterday?
Got caught in the rain.
You alright? You didnt bring an umbrella yesterday?
Lent it to someone.
But he truly deserved this, for he did not take a hot bath thereafter to warm his body.
But seriously, lending an umbrella when the rains so heavy? Arent you too good a person?
Not like I got a choice. I just lent it to someone else.
Who did you lend to for you to even risk catching a cold?
A kid who got lost?.
