Shiawase ni Narou Chapter 1

「幸せになろう」Chapter 1

It was years ago when I graduated in high school and I am now a working student. I am the kind of person who dont deal with the society and I like being alone.

But it was happened past few days when I met this guy...

"I never thought this will be too many people in fast food in this time.." I thought to myself while searching for a table.

When I saw a table, this guy picked the table too...

"Ah.. You can have the table." I said to him and I leave.
"... Wait!" He grab my clothes.

I look back to him..

"Sorry. We can share the table since its for 3 persons.." He smiled.

I cant refuse to his offer but share the table with him. It was too awkward. I dont know how to deal with people and I just keep silent while eating, but...

"Sorry, if I force you to sit here.." he apologize.
"... Its fine, though no table left to place with."

He is looking at me while I am eating and its too awkward for me and cant eat properly.

"By the way, what's your name?" He asked.
"Hmm?" I look straight to his eyes.
"S-Sorry never mind."
"Kazumi.. Ito Kazumi."

He look at me straight. He laugh..

"I thought you would not going to tell your name.. Nice to meet you Kazumi, I'm Tatsuya Shino.."

Shino smile gentle at me..

It was morning and I have class at nine. I left the apartment early and came at school early. I went in the library to borrow some books to read for my subjects. Five minutes before the class start and I went in the room.

I always sat in front of the board since people came inside using the back door and I cant deal with them by greetings..

Someone sat beside me and I move aside a bit and this guy look at me..

"... Kazumi?"

I was surprised when he called my name and look at him. It was Shino who called my name.

"I didn't know we are in the same class.." he said with cheerful voice.

I cant reply but hear people looking and talking about me..

"Is that you who always sitting in front?" Shino asked.
"... Ah."
"That's why I didn't recognized you. Since no place to sit, I sit here in front."

Shino keeps on talking to me but I just ignore him. I heard people at back whispering.. I was safe when the professor came..

I leave after that class, and went in a quiet place in the campus.

"That was too bad.." Kazumi make a big sigh.

I saw a shadow down in me and I thought it was the cloud and I look up I saw Shino in front of me standing. He gave me a surprised.

"Yo! What are you doing here?" he asked.
"... Nothing."
"Eh?" Shino sat beside Kazumi.

I look at him playing the grass and I look up the sky. Shino look at me.

"Are you always alone?"

I was surprised to his question and look at him.

"Why do you asked?"
"Why? Hmm. I just noticed it lately when I am talking to you at room."

I never thought that this guy will recognized it too..

"But.. Its better to be alone just for a moment. But try to associate with the others too and that will change your mood." Shino said while looking at Kazumi's eyes.
".. I dont have time dealing with others."
"I see.. Then why dont you try to hang out with me?"
"Huh?"
"I will accompany you.. I mean I want to become your friend." Shino smile at me gently.

I am speechless and dont know what to answer. But.. I am happy to hear that.

"You dont like?"
"N-No."
"Yay! Then for now on I will be your friend." Shino smile.

I was happy.. But I am scared that it might be happen again the same in years ago..
