A girl who was like a beautiful lilac.
Ah... well, hi? It feels a bit awkward trying to write a letter like this. I suddenly remembered the day we first met. Back then, I just wanted to clear my head, so I went to the beach in Okinawa on a whim, and there you were, sitting and picking up seashells. To be honest, you were really, truly beautiful. Beautiful enough that I fell for you at first sight. I thought I was going to lose my mind. I even wondered if this was just male instinct. I naturally sat down next to you and started picking up shells too. Then, I found a really pretty one. When you looked at me with those sparkling eyes, I seriously felt like my heart was going to explode. You were being cute and pretty all by yourself. When I gave it to you, seeing you jump up and down with joy was so adorable. What I felt looking at you then... was like a lilac. But you know what? They say the language of flowers for lilac is 'first love'.

Today was just another ordinary day, no different from any other. Just a typical day of putting on the school uniform and heading to school with basketball practice clothes and a ball packed in the bag.
On the way, looking up at the sky, the face of that girl I saw at the beach in Okinawa suddenly came to mind. She really was beautiful back then. I miss her already. She looked lonely then. I wonder if she has a boyfriend.
I arrived at school like that. I already didn't want to be there. But somehow, despite not wanting to go, I felt like I had to. It was like someone was whispering in my ear, 'You have to go!'
I went to the classroom as usual, plopped down in my seat, and lowered my head. I was just about to fall asleep when I heard a transfer student had arrived.
After ignoring the friend next to me who kept poking me, I tried to keep sleeping, but things suddenly got noisy. I sat up grumpily. At first, my vision was a bit blurry. Then, after about five seconds, the figure became clear.
And there, standing in front of me, was you—the girl who was like a beautiful lilac.
