Freshman year, met him in your math class. He was loud and energetic, but polite and quiet when he needed to be. You always found that endearing about him. But even with all these traits you adored, you never built up the courage to go talk to him. Only admire him from afar.

Sophmore year and you start to become more confident. Louder, happier, more talkative. And you just happen to pass by Tanaka every second period. He never really left your mind. You’d say hi and he’d say hi back, not always paying attention though. This is when you start to realize that you might like him. So you tel your friends and they laugh at you, thinking he’s kind of funny looking or teasing you every time he passed by.

Its a normal school day, first period just ended and now its time for you to head to second. You take the same route as always and hapoen to pass by tanaka, laughing with his friends. You’ll say hi, but do you say anything else?
