It's the weekend now and I don't know what to do …
It's just unbelievable that I don't feel like reading …
I can't focus on anything I'm doing … and again … it's all Keita's fault …
My mind keeps thinking nonstop about what could be the truth …
As I continued walking I found myself beside a playground …
Hmm … I don't remember passing by here before …
Am I lost?
I stopped for a moment to open the maps application in my phone as something hit my face …
Ouch! …
It's a football ………
Hump … failure players … think about people's safety before playing blindly!
One of them came towards me apologizing: "Ohh sorry are you okay? I apologize instead of him … he's just a beginner"
He was a tall guy with a light blue hair, golden eyes and a fit body
He stared at me as If he remembered something …
"Shiroi!! …… you're Shiroi right? right?"
"…… Ah … yes"
He said in an excited tone: "heyyy it's been ages! how are you doing?"
……… "Who are you?"
"Ouch … how could you forget mee! I'm Naoki … remember Shiroi remember!" he said slightly shaking my shoulders
"Naoki ……" I believe I heard that name before …
"Wait! ………… ahahahaha are you really that little Na kun!?"
He laughed as well … "Hahaha yeah that's me ~"
Naoki has always been the only one I trust … beside my father of course
He was always there to protect me
I met him when I was four … my classmates in kindergarten were talking badly about me for being the only one who doesn't have any friends …
"That's not true … I'm her friend" is what he said back then
And that's how he became my friend … actually he was more like a big brother to me …
He was walking all the way with me to kindergarten then back home
But ever since I left London I haven't seen him …
I guess he's 21 now … since he's 4 years elder than me
He sat on the grass and I sat too as he started a conversation "I was surprised when you disappear without telling me … did something happen?"
"Mhm … but I don't know what exactly … everyone tells me a different story and I don't know who to believe"
He stayed silent for few moments before laying down … "you know … you don't have to worry … you'll know everything just in the right time"
"… I guess you're right"
"Now come on … how about a match~?" he suggested
"Nah not now … I don't feel like playing" I turned him down
"You don't want to lose to me huh ~ ?"
"What? No! No waay I won't lose to you!"
"Prove it then ~" he knows exactly how to make me change my mind
"Fine I accept your challenge"
"Yeaaah ~ Hey guyyys we're having a new member in the team" he shouted to his friends
I haven't played as serious as this in forever …
It was a great match though at the end he was the one who won ………
I got a bit annoyed but he ruffled my hair and smiled "that was one of the matches I enjoyed the most ~ thank you Shiroi"
It felt a bit strange for a guy to ruffle my hair like that … but I didn't push his hand away … it felt … kinda nice
"Naoki … when did you come to Japan?" I asked
"Few months ago … I decided to stay here for some time ~"
"I see ~"
"Anyway it's getting dark … come on I'll take you home" he offered
"Okay"
Well I'm lost anyway ……
"So is it from here or there?"
"I don't know ……" I opened the maps application and pointed "I live here"
"Oh then we have to go this way"
He has always been the reliable type of people
"So you live here?"
"Yeah … in an apartment … come in ~"
"Hmm but it's late I don't want you to miss your bedtime"
"Whatever just come in … besides I don't have school tomorrow so it's okay" I said
"Okay then ~" he walked in "Wow nice apartment ~ it's so neat and tidy"
I headed towards the kitchen saying: "I try my best to keep it like that … okay so tea or coffee?"
"Tea I guess"
He sat on the couch as I came back with the tea
"So what do you usually do in weekends?" he asked after taking a sip
"Mostly reading … what about you?"
"Hmm playing football, hanging out with my friends, watching a movie … something like that"
"I see … by the way how about watching a movie?"
He answered: "If that's what you want then sure why not ~ ?"
We watched a movie, played with cards then ordered a pizza even though it was so late
We were playing and chatting till 5 AM.
I can say it was just my best weekend in all the past two years
