Grimson: Blue Future

Chapter 5: Blue Epilogue (part 5)

*Aito POV*

"This spot should be good enough."

I check my surroundings and check my phone.

The phone says 7:00 AM, 30 minutes earlier than the promised time.

After my last encounter with Kiroi yesterday, she texted me and asks if we can walk together to school the next day.

Needless to say, I accept without a second thought.

I didn't care how Kiroi manages to know my number, I just assume that she gets it from another classmate.

What my brain cares about right now is the fact that Kiroi asks me to walk with her to the school, that alone is more than enough reason for me to get my blood pumped.

Today, I make sure that I dressed as tidy as possible and use perfume to improve my smell.

Things that I had never really done before.

Either way, I am waiting for Kiroi to arrive and while waiting, I saw a lot of people walking and hanging out in the park.

There's a couple of old men and women sat next to each other on a wooden bench.

There's a woman in mid of her thirties walking around the park with her dog.

And so on, the park was lively in this early in the morning.

But something else catches my attention.

I saw a familiar figure in the distance talking with a.. little girl?

I can't see them very well from this distance.

But that girl.. it was... Aoi..?

The very first person that pops into my mind was Aoi, the figure who wore our school uniform and possesses the same long flowing blue hair like her, the distinctive trait that only Aoi possess.

What's she doing here? and who is she talking with?

"Sorry to keep you waiting!"

Kiroi voice breaks my focus and I turn around.

Kiroi slowly closes her distance and stands before me.

"I am sorry, did you wait long?"

Kiroi was concerned, there's a clear worry in her voice.

"Oh, umm n-no, not really, I just arrive here as well!"

I nervously laugh and scratches the back of my head.

"Is that so? then let's go!"

Kiroi smiles and suddenly grabs my right hand and pulls me away.

"Whoa, wait..!"

I was taken by surprise by her bold action and got dragged along with her.

But Kiroi was smiling, laughing even.

And that's all that matters to me, if Kiroi is happy, then the same goes for me.

...

.....

.......

The school bell rang, signaling the morning break.

Everyone in my class scatters around and does their own thing.

Eating, talking, reading, you name them.

How about me? what do I do?

Simple answer.

Today, mom has packed me a lunch for once and I intend to finish them.

It has been a while since I brought a lunch to school with me, mom would usually just gave me some money to buy food to fill my tummy.
