Chapter 2 - Meaningful Time Together With You

"Hey, how long are you going to laze around.." I stood still with my hands on my hips.

"Didn't we agree to study now?" I said, with a angry tone.

Seeing Fukamizu's relaxed expression, maybe the hope of studying today was just a hope.

"Can I have one more minute to laze around?" she asked in a lazy tone, her eyes still half-closed.

"What do you mean, all you've been doing is lazing around.." I answered.

"Aww..."

Seriously, how could someone like her still get good grades without ever seriously studying? I mean It just not fair I already study hard for the exams and I almost got the same scores as her..

But before I could say another word to her, Fukamizu got up slowly and watched with a soft smile.

"Come on, Sakura. You're too harsh on yourself! You should learn to relax too." She moved closer, gently stroking Sakura's hair.

"H-Hey!..." I said, and then brushed her hand away, with a blush in my cheeks.

Fukamizu just chuckled, showing no guilt at all. Then she looked towards the window.

"Oh... It's getting late," She said.

"Huh?.. Oh yeah, it's getting late," I replied, for some reason, I felt like time passed too quickly when I was with her.

"I think it's time for me to go home. I'm tired of studying," she said, standing up and stretch her body.

"What do you mean tired of studying?.. You didn't even do anything.."

"Hehehe, I guess you're right." She responded with a mischievous smile.

I let out a sigh, half disappointed, half... I don't know. There was a part of me that enjoyed this time together.

"Oh yeah," Fukamizu said as she made her way to the door. She turned and smiled. 

"Let's study again tomorrow afterschool"

"Sure..."

"What's with that answer!"

"I don't think you would study anything."

"Hey!"

"Hehehe anyway... see you tomorrow," she said.

"See you tomorrow..." I replied quietly. After the door closed, I stood still for a moment. The room suddenly felt quieter. I walked slowly to where Fukamizu had been lying, then looked toward the door.

"Weird..." I mumbled,

"... Even though she was just annoying, why does it feel... quiet now?"

"Maybe... spending time with her isn't that bad," I said quietly. 

"Or maybe... that's what I look forward to the most every day."
