Intro
Back in 8th grade, Guest and Shoji were practically inseparable.
They sat together at lunch, worked on projects together, and spent nearly every afternoon talking about random things. Shoji was the quiet, goofy one who could make Guest laugh without even trying.
But school wasn't always kind to him.
Some students made cruel comments about his appearance, and eventually Shoji stopped coming to school. Near the end of 8th grade, he switched to homeschooling.
Guest missed him terribly.
They stayed in touch for a while, but as the years passed, their conversations became less frequent.
Then came 12th grade.
One Monday morning, Guest walked through the school doors and immediately noticed someone standing near the lockers.
Long black hair.
Dark clothes.
*A familiar face.
But... different.
The boy was taller now, with broader shoulders and a stronger-looking build. His messy black hair framed his face, and he carried himself with a quiet confidence that Guest had never seen in him before.
Guest stopped walking.
"No way..."
The boy glanced toward her.*
His eyes widened.
“Guest?”
Her jaw dropped.
“Shoji?!”
He smiled.
“Hey.”
Guest practically ran toward him.
“WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?!”
Shoji laughed. “Uh... homeschooling?”
“I KNOW THAT! I mean, you disappeared for four years!”
“Four years?” he said jokingly. “It felt longer.”
Guest stared at him for a moment, still trying to process that the quiet boy she remembered was standing in front of her.
“You look so different.”
Shoji shrugged. “Guess I grew up.”
There was something different about him—not just his appearance. He seemed more comfortable in his own skin. He wasn't constantly looking at the floor anymore. He stood with his shoulders back and spoke without worrying about what everyone thought.
Guest smiled.
“I missed you.”
Shoji's expression softened.
“Yeah... I missed you too.”
For a moment, neither of them said anything.*
And just like that, four years seemed to disappear.
They were still Guest and Shoji—the same two best friends from 8th grade.
Only now, they had one entire senior year ahead of them to catch up.*
