It wasn’t too long after final exams, and we were almost done working out White Day plans. Miyano and I were going to the library to do some research when I noticed a poster and came to a halt in front of the bulletin board on the stair landing.

MAKE YOUR OWN WHITE DAY GIFTS! it said in big letters. This was followed by a brief description and instructions on how to apply to participate. It looked like something that one of the home ec teachers was doing voluntarily for the students. How long had this been here? I was chagrined to say I didn’t remember.

“White Day…,” I mumbled. That got Miyano’s attention—he’d walked right past the poster.

“Huh?”

“This might be just the thing! You should do this, Miyano.”

They were only going to make cookies, and the poster said beginner chefs were welcome. It seemed perfect for him.

“Huh, I didn’t know they were offering this. Is the Cooking Club putting this on?”

“Doesn’t look like it. It just has the name of a teacher. If there was a club involved, they’d probably want you to apply with the club president.”

“Good point. A club probably doesn’t have the budget for something like this.”

“So,” I said pointedly. “You gonna do it?”

“Do I have to decide now?”

“I’d like to give my girlfriend something. It’d sure be nice to have some company when I’m baking cookies,” I said. I hoped that would make it easier for him to say yes. Not that a couple who were dating needed an “assistant” to help with something like this, but Miyano seemed like he could use the extra push to get out of his comfort zone.

“Hrm, well… I’d like to give Sasaki something, too. I don’t want to just tag along; I’d better actually do it.”

“Yeah?” I said, somewhat surprised. I was impressed that Miyano could be so upfront about those things now.

“Hey, uh, Kuresawa, do you think you could go on ahead?” Miyano asked. I said sure and went on my way. I guess he had something to do. Well, I didn’t have club or anything, so I had nothing but time.

I got going again, jogging down the stairs, but a few minutes later I realized I’d forgotten my pencil case. It had been in my gym bag when we changed classrooms, and I didn’t think I’d ever gotten it out again. I figured I had time to grab it before Miyano finished whatever he was doing.

I started jogging back up the stairs—but then I heard Miyano’s voice from the hall. It sounded like he was right by the staircase.

“Hey, um, about White Day. I’m not gonna be able to make stuff with you…”

It sounded like he was talking to Sasaki. Was this phone call what he’d had to do? So they’d been planning to make something together?

I hadn’t meant to eavesdrop, but if I walked away now, the question of what was going on would gnaw at me. I wouldn’t tell my girlfriend about this, of course—it was just an accident.
