Synesthesia Petals
Transfer Student
The break time is marked by the sound of a bell ringing. My gaze to the left side passed through the window, noticing the other disciples starting to wander around. I should have eaten my lunch soon, but I was too hesitant to do so.
The transfer student occupied the seat to my empty right. And the most horror, from earlier he looked at me with a curious look.
“Di-dia why? Is it too weird for a student to bring a cat to school?”
When I think about it. Kolbi, the cat's whereabouts are missing from my surveillance. But let it be, the cat is clever and will return to its master even if it goes away for days. Because what? Maybe the place to return is my home or mine.
I looked to the right side, the woman was still looking at me. I admit, she has a standard of beauty that makes men tempted by her physique. For me? That's happening.
“Why did you look at me earlier? Is there anything you want to ask me?”
I asked her, she nodded her head and gave me her little notebook. Read the neat writing he wrote on the thin page lines. As expected, he asked me why I brought the cat to school.
“Obviously, I just take my pet cat for a walk. Anyway, I'll smash the face of the abuser if anyone hurts my cat.”
I answered, returning the little note he gave me. For some reason, he was not afraid to even look more interested in me. Unmistakably, his figure was a figure I had seen in the past.
He started writing again, giving me his little notes. This time, he asked me my name this time. Now I understand the pattern of movement he showed me.
“True too, the teacher who had also forgotten to pass on. My name sounds ugly, my name-”
“Panda, Kolbi hangs around in my class.”
When I wanted to tell him my name. My friend this morning came to my class with Kolbi in her arms. He walked up to me in a sports uniform.
“Your schedule after this sport?”
I asked who saw his figure wearing a red sports. He nodded his head and lifted Kolbi. Since Kolbi had been held by him for quite some time, an uncomfortable feeling began to appear by touching his cheek.
“That's how, by the way .. turns out you already have a boyfriend?”
The words he uttered sounded relaxed yet creepy. I immediately denied it with obvious embarrassment. Similarly, the transfer student, he showed a rejection reaction through handwriting in the notebook.
The transfer student gave his note to my friend. Kolbi, who was on her lap, took the initiative to jump on my bench. He began to read the little notebook seriously.
“So .. You're a transfer student. Your name is Asuhara Kifune, a good name. By the way my name is Senke Fukuhara, just call my name as you like.”
Senke said as he returned the small note to Kifune. He began to write again, giving it to Senke again to be read by him.
“Oh ... That panda is a call for him.”
Senke pointed at me with the index finger of his left hand. What can I do, I can't deny it. My nickname ends with the Chinese animal name, Panda.
“After a while, I have a sports schedule. See you Kifune, Panda.”
He left us both. Kifune began to look me in the eyes, writing down what he thought on the sheet of paper in the small note. I could only wait for him to finish taking notes, he gave me his little notes.
“It's good to see you again, I forgot your name. We once had a neighbor relationship. Take it easy, today I moved to this city and live quite far from the old house.”
I read it in my heart. Unmistakably, Asuhara Kifune is my neighbor who once lived in this city. I heard he moved because his family had important business matters to the point of moving house.
“Did you not say a word since childhood? Sorry if my question offended you.”
I asked him to return the little note. Kifune shook her head, she started writing the answers to the questions I was asking her. He gave me that little note with a pretty neat writing.
“Yes, I myself want to hear my voice.”
* * * * *
“Panda ... bear ... slow loris .. koala .. single, wake woi!”
A loud voice echoed in the right ear. Unbeknownst to me, the day had passed with a warm afternoon atmosphere that made me confused. Steady, I fell asleep in physics.
“By the way ... Why haven't you come home yet?”
“Which is possible, I have to wait for my girlfriend who is attending school activities. Got the girlfriend of that Osis member .. exhausting ya.”
“Is it, I envy.”
“In this class there is no poop, the smell is none. Then ... ”
I immediately left while wearing a carry-on bag to my back. Uses all five senses to the maximum extent, but the signs of Kolbi's existence are not felt.
“The place he likes the most is ... ”
Without a second thought, I immediately went to the literature club room. Usually the place is visited by Kolbi when you want to sleep long. When I arrived, I shifted the doors of the literature club and only found the Literature Club Chairman.
The figure of the black-haired woman was long a little brown, a body that fit the size of her uniform. Wearing blue frame glasses, on the table there was only a piece of paper with a ballpoint pen that he was holding.
His figure was a cheerful and calm Senior. I was friends with him also a coincidence, only a small conflict I resolved when half a month ago.
“Oh!? You looking for Kolbi? He didn't come today. But, I saw her together with the student I just met at school.”
“Himself!?”
“Imut and beautiful.”
“What is Senpai!? By the way ... is there anything you remember besides that?”
“Entaihah, I forgot again.”
The Literature Club's chairman showed his little smile. He didn't lie, the smile and feeling he showed me wasn't a lie. After all, how could he possibly lie when the person he faced was me.
“Thank you Chairman. Go home soon, don't get too late because I'm not anywhere.”
I said as I turned around and set foot outside the literature club. I closed it with my left hand without turning around. Rotating the brain by using rational thoughts with deduction.
The last clock is physics. Two hours of lessons a long time, one hour I put on to sleep. Kolbi's whereabouts were lost when my surveillance of her weakened.
Supposedly, I put him in the literature club room. If it is like this, it is likely that he was brought by the person mentioned by the Literature Chief. I forgot Senke, focused on the lost cat because I was careless.
Running in an empty hallway. Get down the stairs quickly and continue by running again to the bottom floor. This tiredness is not felt, covered with adrenaline and worry that is only focused on one problem.
When you are at the school entrance. The figure of the woman I was looking at, under her feet was a cat rubbing her head against the woman's feet.
“Asuhara Kifune ... Kolbi?”
My mumbling while regulating my breath made me claustrophobic and a little sweaty. My whereabouts were known to Kifune, he looked at me as if I had woken up from a long dream.
“Kolbi, come. We have to go home.”
My voice conveyed. Kolbi came back to me with her small steps. Kifune, he seems to want to tell me something.
“What's up?”
I asked while holding Kolbi with two hands. I let him into the open bag. Finally, my worries disappeared after running around in the empty hallway.
Kifune came up to me writing something on his little note. He showed it to me, what he wanted to convey was quite simple. Your cat is cute and adorable, that's what you want to tell me.
“Thank you for the compliment. By the way hurry home, it would be dangerous if a beautiful woman like you alone on a late day like this.”
Ahh .. without me knowing, my blunt nature said everything I thought. When I looked at Kifune's face, he looked confused with blushing cheeks.
I patted my head, only this time I saw this kind of misbehaving woman in my life. Thanks Kolbi, you'll get more rations from Hanoman.
Kifune gave me the note. Even though I read what he wrote, only this time there was something frank. Will you be my friend? That's what he wanted to tell me.
Without thinking. I laughed in the silence that broke the silence. For some reason, my eyes are colored. Satisfied with laughing, I continued by showing her my little smile.
“Of course, if you want to be like that. Kifune.”
