ため野矢の: Because of Noya

笑顔 Smile

"You guys are going to the beach next week, right?"

The familiar bell chime of the alert tone on my phone rung out a bit in the outdoors, disappearing with the petals of fallen Sakura leaves in the regular atmosphere of spring.

"Yes. We have a lot planned."

My fingers flew across the keyboard, typing at a way faster rate than when I wasn't using my phone at all. Amari-san diligently texted me throughout the camp to keep me busy, and it really improved the speed and style of my texting (even emoticons...who would have thought).

"Eeeeh~ anything for YOU in particular? ^_−☆?"

I sighed as I hinted at the message sent. Obviously relating to you-know-who and I, and yet I was still going to lazily beat around the bush as always. I really had my fair share of Yū-kun throughout this whole training regime- mind, presence, feelings, and all. I never expected it to get THIS intense.

"Not really.. I might swim with Kiyoko-san.. Or do the water balloons with her. d(^_^o)"

Send.

Not even a fraction of a minute later, a white reply box rolled in with the rest.

"GAAAH! Kameko-chan, at least tell me you'll have a decent bathingsuit....."

"Define what you mean by 'decent'. (~_~;)"

"You know! A cute two-piece that'll get guys to be ALL OVER you! Such a nice figure, Kameko-chan!~ Use it well!~ o(｀ω' )o"

I was ready to type a response, but another text came before I had time, stopping me from continuing the process.

"Especially for Yū-kun!"

The only text that ACTUALLY made me show emotion outside of the screen. My cheeks tinted the color of the tree's petals above me as I furiously clicked the buttons of my device.

"If I ever were to do it, I would choose to! And not for anyone."

"Mou, mou, Kameko-chan!~ But Yū-kun would be so happy seeing you!"

You don't know that for sure, Amari-san.
Nobody really does, or is it just me?
I huffed, bending down to lean my elbow on the crevice between my calf and thigh, and placing the bottom of my palm on the bottom of my chin languidly.

"I wouldn't know. It would be weird."

Why does she always bring him up? If I asked, it would help.. But, I wouldn't want to take a big conversation starter away from me- and my first friend, of course. Maybe I should deal with it longer, than tell her how I really feel?
Yeah, that's the case! I can't figure it out myself! I still need time.

I nodded in muse as I looked down to the screen with a new message notification popping up in a banner

"What's taking you so long? Thinking about him? ^_−☆?~"

A sudden text appeared right in front of me when I turned to look down once again.

How could I be so easily defeated like this? Amari-san could read my mind miles away sometimes, and it really gets to me.

"Not really."

"But you still ARE! Spill it, Kameko-chan! I'm here for that!"

Two thumbs hovered over the keyboard as my mind ran with the decision to tell Amari-san. She really IS like a more intense version of Sugawara-senpai. Those two would be partners in crime, really.
