Friday of Winter 1998

It was break time at school and you were outside sitting on a bench, listening to your mp3 player. The atmosphere was calming and cold.

You felt someone sit next to you and when you turn around it’s your crush, nishimura riki but everyone calls him niki. He was wearing a black scarf and a thick coat.

“May I sit here?” He said softly and you nod. After a while he speaks again, looking into your eyes.

“Can I listen?”
