Hana's Dark High School Days

Chapter 49: Favorite Presents

Friday. March 19. Graduation Day.

{Hana's P.O.V.}

We have finally graduated from being freshman students! Next up, Juniors! Yay! I also sigh of relief that I wouldn't be seeing neither Kyon-senpai or Rei-senpai ever again.

After the ceremony and taking pictures with everyone, we decided to have dinner over at a pizza and pasta place and just pay half and half for all our orders. Sounds like a good plan! But, we ordered quite a lot for only eleven people. Well, boys do eat more, so they'll be paying more than the girls.

Since the tables could only fit six people, we decided on six on one table and five on the other, which was only a meter and a half apart. Since there were five girls and six boys, we divided it evenly at that point.

While eating, we talked through stuff. We came upon an odd topic: What's the greatest present you've received yet?

"My greatest present is from my mom! It's my iPhone I received on my fifteenth birthday! Haha!" - Ami.

"Mine's my cute floral Sunday dress from my aunt." - Kaiya.

"Ooo!! Mine's my basketball my dad gave me in the fifth grade!!!" - Yukio.

"A thick horror book that actually sends chills down my spine." - Kiyoshi.

"Whoah! That's scary... But interesting..." - Ami.

"I'll take that as a compliment." - Kiyoshi.

"I treasure the guitar my brother gave me for my seventh birthday." - Ringo.

"You can play the guitar Ringo-kun?" - Me.

"Yeah... Guess you guys thought I was more sporty, huh?" - Ringo.

"Yeah!" - girls.

Ringo just gave us an embarrassed laugh. I didn't know that until now. Wow...

"My dream catcher." - Yumi.

"Cute! Mine's my pet cat I received since first year of middle school." - Naomi.

"So, your cat's four years old now?" - Yukio.

"Actually, she's five. But yeah, I had her for four years..." - Naomi.

"I love the loafers my grandfather gave me last year." - Akio.

"Mine's my kimono that my dad gave to me for my sixteenth birthday." - Takai.

"Cool~! So you're very traditional, eh Takai-kun?" - Kaiya.

"Yeah... I guess so..." - Takai.

"Mine's, probably my anklet that my dad gave me since I was five." - Me.

"Awe... How cute... Are you wearing it now?" - Ami.

"No... It's at home..." - Me.

"Mine's the gift of life by God." - Takumi.

"Well, that's true... We're all thankful for God's gift for us..." - Akio.

"Yeah, but what about from your loved ones?" - Yukio.

Takumi looked up at me in the eyes and looked back to his plate of pasta and shrugged. I couldn't help but blush, because I remember the muffler I gave him for Christmas. Was he referring to that, but won't tell others so they won't fuss over about it? No. Probably not. But why'd he look at me?

"In that case! Allow me to give you a wonderful present that you will find most to your liking Takumi-kun! When's your birthday~?" - Ami.

"No need." - Takumi.
