~Today’s Adachi Forecast~

In the window’s reflection, I was smiling. In the bathwater’s reflection, I was grinning. And in the mirror’s reflection, I was very clearly smirking.

I was undeniably on cloud nine.

Chapter 3:

Imperfect Words

HONESTLY, WAS I WRONG to want Shimamura to focus only on me? Lately, I was starting to question myself a tiny little bit. Her stiff smile had created ripples in my heart. I wanted that smile to be sweet and pure! I mean, it was always sweet, but sometimes it would turn…you know…hard.

But what could be more important than focusing on the one thing that mattered most? And I did matter most. I was her girlfriend now, after all.

Her girlfriend… Hee hee…

In a blink, our homeroom teacher had finished speaking. My eyes wandered over the words scrawled widely across the blackboard:

“School trip…?”

Apparently, it was happening next month. I had no idea until just now.

Truth be told, I couldn’t remember any of the field trips I went on in elementary or junior high school. Couldn’t even tell you where we went—all I could recall was the intense desire to go home. But this time was different. This time, I would be with Shimamura…and the thought was enough to crank my excitement up a notch.

Trips are so great… I hope someday Shimamura and I can go on a trip together, just the two of us…

Just then, I made eye contact with the girl in question. She was looking at me through the crowd of students milling about during the break period between classes. Shyly, she raised her hand in a tiny wave. This slight gesture made my chest ache deeply. Taking care to control myself, I waved back.

Since the start of the second semester, Shimamura was all I ever thought about, even during class. Same as before, except more clearly now. It was like holding a flower up to eye level to admire it; the beauty was right in front of me.

Frankly, if I wasn’t careful, I was in danger of bursting into song. In fact, my mother had already caught me humming the other day, and she gave me a weird look. Then she asked if I was in a good mood, to which I said, “No, uh…just average!” Looking back, I felt a little guilty that I hadn’t tried to open up and have more of a conversation with her. But my mother rarely ever asked me anything, so I panicked.

Then again, I wouldn’t want her to be chatty like Shimamura’s mom either…

Shimamura resembled her mother quite a bit, and not just physically—they had some personality traits in common too. I couldn’t put my finger on it exactly, but they were both…outwardly cheerful while somewhat detached on the inside…? I couldn’t quite express it in words. So I agonized over it all through class without managing to take a single note.

When lunchtime rolled around, I grabbed my bookbag and headed to Shimamura’s desk. She greeted me as she was packing up her school supplies.

Since the start of the second semester, the two of us had spent every lunch period together.
