I reach the end of the school hallway, the shine of the bright sun enters through the windows, painting us in its warmth.I pull out the keys from my pocket and open the door.I open the door, and Aya follows me inside.

"Keito- I was just about to start club without you"

"Who's standing next beside you?" Said the girl.

"I hope everyone doesn't mind- I brought someone along with me"

"I'm Aya, nice to meet all of you" She bows gracefully-

Placing her hands in front of her.

"Is she a new member?" The girl asked.

"Actually, she just transferred here today- I can't go to club today because I have the job of showing her around"

"Oh, okay- have fun" Said the girl.

I could imagine what they were thinking, probably something along the lines of: How much did you pay her?Or- admit it, she's your cousin isn't she?I forget about those thoughts as I look to Aya.We walk around school as I show her past the cafeteria and where the nurse's office is.We both head towards the exit door to the high school.

"Oh, I was wondering.. where do you live?"

She begins to tell me where she lives.

"That's really close to where I live," I tell Ayai.

"Do you walk to school by yourself? She asks me.

I nod.

"I was wondering.. would it be okay if I walked to school with you?-

"I hope you don't think that's weird or nothing" I say.

"I don't think it's weird, we live close so why not?"

She says with an embarrassed face.

"You really think so?" I say back.

"Yeah"

We spent much of the day going some of the places I like to go to.

"This is probably my favourite place in the city, Sakura Park" I say to Aya.

"They say this is where the most beautiful sakura trees are, in all of Japan"

"It's really pretty" Said Aya.

"I guess you could say that's why there seems to be so many people in this city, most of them are actually tourists from all across Japan"

"You still need to pick a club to join, isn't that right, Aya?"

"There's so many clubs I don't know which one I want to be apart of.." Aya says back.

"If you can't find a club you want to join, you can stop by the club I showed you"

"Keito..."

"What is it, Aya?"

"Thanks for showing me around today, I'm sorry I have to be home early today"

She bows politely and waves back to me as she becomes a blur amongst the sakura trees.
