Ah, finally, summer vacation! Time to nerd out 'til sunrise and sleep 'til noon. It's been a week since summer vacation started and I haven't gone outside the house even once.
Today, Sakura and Yoemon dropped by for a surprise visit. Sakura was going back to Osaka tomorrow for vacation and Yoemon was spending vacation overseas.
"Good for you, guys!" I gave them a thumbs up. "You're spending your vacation somewhere else while I'm holed up in here. . . which is awesome." We spent the rest of the day watching movies and eating chips and playing video games. Around 5 pm, Mom told me to accompany them to the train station and buy something from the convenience store on my home.
"You haven't gone out for a whole week, Yui-chan. Go get some fresh air!" She said.
So I went to the train station to see Sakura and Yoemon off, then bought a bunch of chips, several cans of coke, and the things Mom wanted.
"I'm home."
"Welcome back," Mom peeked out from the kitchen. "I'll take the bags."
"So. . . I'll be in my room then. Call me if you need any help."
Mom was acting weird. She was smiling from ear to ear and you could practically see sparkles floating around her head. She's usually like this when she has a surprise for my birthday. But my birthday is still too far away though.
"Gah, so tired." I grabbed my PSP and fell back on my bed.
"Hnngh,"
"WHAT THE- AHH! WHO ARE YOU?!" I pointed my slipper threateningly at the stranger on my bed. He sat up groggily, scratching his messy hair.
Who is this incredibly handsome guy? Why is he on my bed?
"Who are you?" He asked.
"What the heck, this is my room, you answer first!"
"Yui-chan what's wrong?" The door hit my back when Mom opened it.
"Ehh?? This is Yuicchi?" Asked the guy. "Why is her hair black?"
"Mom, who is this?"
"Don't be like that, Yui-chan. That's Daiki-kun!"
"Eh? This guy? This is Dai-chan? How? This guy is tall, handsome and has the perfect teeth. How can this guy be Dai-chan?"
I remember Dai-chan as a brat who's shorter than me and had Spongebob teeth. His family used to live next door but they moved just as we started middle school. Dai-chan and I always went to primary school together back then.
I also remember Dai-chan as a kid who always got bullied because he was so frail and incredibly lightweight. He could fly back a few yards with one punch.
"So," I said after we ate dinner. "What made you come back?"
"You promised me that you would be my girlfriend once I reach 6 feet and if I get my teeth fixed. So, here I am. Be my girlfriend, Yuicchi."
