"Ordinary" isn't forever

I finally realized that. ...Though, it's already too late.

Riku and Guest are childhood friends. They've been together since they were little. Preschool, elementary, middle, and now high school—they've always been at the same schools. It's only natural for them to always be by each other's side.

It happened one day after school

I was talking to Guest normally that day, too. The content of our conversations was always stupid, but talking to this person just made it interesting.

I don't remember what triggered it anymore. I think we were talking about how a popular girl in class got a boyfriend, and then the topic turned to how it was for both of us.

"Me? No way. Hanging out with friends is way more fun than girls."

It wasn't that I wasn't interested. It was just that talking about that kind of stuff was somehow embarrassing. I just selfishly assumed that Guest felt the same way I did.

"What about you? As if. There's no way you'd get a lover lol. Don't make me laugh."

If only I could have said something different back then.

If I said that, you'd probably laugh and say "That's not like you."
