*****
Well you done done me and you bet I felt it
I tried to be chill but you're so hot that I melted
I fell right through the cracks, now I'm trying to get back
It was the most romantic time of the year when he first saw her. She was seated on a bench under a big sakura tree and was silently reading a novelty book. The sakura blossoms were falling and flying all over the place which made the scene adoring to his eyes. And the way how the wind blowed her hair and made her cheeks blushed made the scene even more interesting. He took his small digital camera from his bag and began taking pictures of her, secretly.
That was the first time he fell in love... at first sight.
Before the cool done run out, I'll be giving it my bestest
And nothing's going to stop me but divine intervention
I reckon it's again my turn to win some or learn some
The second time he saw her was in the place where he first saw her. But this time, she was walking down the road to her school as the sakura blossoms kept on falling and flying around the place. She was holding her books close to her chest like it's going to be stolen from her. He thought that it was cute.
He was riding his bike that time and he happened to pass by her side. Seeing the chance to see her face clearly, he stole a glance at her. He was so surprised when he saw her glance at him too. He almost fell from his bike when he didn't notice the big hump before him. He quickly pulled on the brakes and silently laughed to himself. He glanced at her once again and saw her smiling at him.
That was the first time his heart gone doki doki… real fast.
But I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait, I'm yours
The third time he saw her was during that cold night at the same place, when he was in a hurry and suddenly bumped into someone. He's used to walking with his head down low whenever he's alone. He just kept bowing down without looking at the person whom he bumped into. When she started to speak, that's when he stopped bowing. And when he looked up, he was stunned to see that it was her. He freezed and stared at her face. She noticed that his face suddenly turned burning red and hot despite of the coldness of the night. She began to worry and gently touched his cheeks. He was surprised by the unexpected touch, but he loved the feeling of her cold hands against his hot cheeks.
That was the first time he blushed… so hard.
Well open up your mind and see like me
Open up your plans and damn you're free
Look into your heart and you'll find love love love love
The next day, he decided to wait for her on the spot where he first saw her. He couldn't stand still in his position because his knees were shaking and his palms were sweating. He's nervous for some unknown reasons.
"It's going to be just fine... I'm just going to know what school she goes to, and that's it..."
Yes, he's going to stalk her. No, not really, he's just going to follow her. He just wanted to know what school she goes to so he wouldn't have to keep on asking himself about it.
After how many minutes had passed and there she goes, walking along in the middle of the road that's full of sakura blossoms. He felt his right hand jumped on his left chest as if it's afraid that his heart would pump its way out. He placed his left hand over his right hand. Well, just to be sure.
He quickly hid himself behind the bushes. He peeked through the small holes of the bushes and saw her passed by his direction. Once out of sight, he slowly revealed himself and sighed deeply as he began with his little journey.
"This is it..."
Listen to the music of the moment people, dance and sing
We're just one big family
And it's our God-forsaken right to be loved loved loved loved loved
He just followed her footsteps as she walked her way down to her gakuen. He noticed that the road she's taking was the same with his. Could it be that her school is just near to his school? No, it's impossible. The school he's into is the only school in their place. Well, who knows that maybe there is but he just doesn't know. And because of it, he didn't noticed the trash can that's on his way. As expected, he bumped onto it and the noise he created made her turned around. Good thing he was able to hid himself quickly or else.
Not long after, she stopped in front of the school gate and sighed dramatically to herself. And at her back, there he was, panting like a dog.
"Geez, we're just in the same school!"
That was the first time he felt so stupid in his life.
I've been spending way too long checking my tongue in the mirror
And bending over backwards just to try to see it clearer
But my breath fogged up the glass
And so I drew a new face and I laughed
He's given many oppurtunities to talk to her, but he doesn't have much courage to get even closer to her. Even once, He haven't heard of her name. He wondered, when's the right time? Will he ever get the chance to talk to her? To be with her, even just for a little while?
Every night before he would drift to sleep, he would always think of her face and stare at her picture, and then she would appear in his dreams. That's the only way he could talk to her. But when would that happen in reality?
One night, when he dreamt of her, she was lonely. He doesn't know why so he approached her. She told him that he's waiting for someone. He asked her who it was. She replied unhesitatingly,
"I'm waiting for you..."
When he woke up, that was the first time he felt so shocked.
I guess what I be saying is there ain't no better reason
To rid yourself of vanities and just go with the seasons
It's what we aim to do, our name is our virtue
The next day, he immediately prepared himself and ran all the way down to his school. After having that dream last night, he felt the need to talk to her. He muttered to himself,
“This is the right time I’m waiting for…”
He felt so energetic. The smile on his face won’t leave. His legs won’t stop running. His mind won’t stop thinking of her.
Was he really that in love with her?
His body won’t let him take a rest even for a while. The students in their school couldn’t help but stare at his weird attitude that day. It’s as if he’s running for his life.
He just kept running. Maybe he won’t stop until he has seen her. He doesn’t care if the people around him thinks he’s weird.
He just got to see her.
Unexpectedly, his legs brought him in the school garden where the sakura trees were in its full bloom. Sad to say, no one was there for the classes were about to start. That’s the time he gave up. Maybe, that wasn’t the time he’s waiting for. Or rather, meeting her was way too impossible. Or maybe, just maybe, just not yet.
He sighed dramatically. He couldn’t help but tell himself,
“Forget it… I’m just a nobody to everybody… Even to her…”
After he said that, he turned around and readied himself for classes when he suddenly bumped into someone. There he goes again.
“Ouch…”
He found out that he bumped into a girl. He felt so stupid for being so clumsy early in the morning.
“Ah! I’m so sorry!”
He recognized that voice. That angelic voice. He looked up to see the girl that he just bumped into.
“Y-you…”
It’s as if he saw a ghost. A beautiful ghost…
No! It’s her! The girl he’s in love with is right in front of him!
“Am I dreaming? Am in heaven? Where am I? Can you tell me where am I?”
Suddenly, his crazy side that he doesn’t want anybody to know, showed to her. The girl twitched her eyebrow at him.
“Ahm… You’re here in the school garden. Are you okay?”
He just couldn’t believe it. If he’s in the school garden, why’s he hearing a voice of an angel?
Oh no… He’s not yet crazy, is he?
Then he saw her touching his forehead and felt a cold feeling against it. It already happened before.
“Oh no, you’re burning up! Let me bring you to the school clinic!”
“No! I’m okay! No need to do that… I’m fine, really…”
“Are you sure?”
“Yes…”
She stood up and lent a hand to him. There was a romantic touch between his hand and hers. It’s like a scene from a romantic movie wherein the girl will offer her hand to the boy and the boy will kiss it affectionately.
Wait… There’s no way he’s going to do that to her hand! He immediately shook those thoughts off his head.
“Since we’re already here, I guess I have to introduce myself to you. My name is Shida Mirai and I’m from III-A. And you?”
Shida Mirai… It’s the most beautiful name he has ever heard. It’s like he could already see their future in her name.
Wait again. Just why was he thinking of those things already when she’s just introducing herself to him?
“Ah! Yamada… Yamada Ryosuke is my name… From III-B… Yeah… That’s me. Ahehe…”
Shida Mirai, her new found friend and inspiration, couldn’t help herself but laugh at his, Yamada Ryosuke’s, stuttering manner.
“You’re so silly… and strange Yamada-kun! You’re making me laugh!”
With that, he began to laugh at his own silliness… and strangeness. Though they already knew each other’s names, they’re still holding each other’s hands. Yamada Ryosuke finds it awkward to be holding the hand of the one and only apple of his eyes for a very long time, so he broke the hand contact.
“Ah, I’m sorry…”
“It’s okay! I mean… Anou… I just feel…”
“There you go again, Yamada-kun!”
Just as they were having a good time, the school bell rang throughout the whole campus.
“Oh no! We’re almost late, Yamada-kun! We should get going! I’ll see you around! And nice meeting you by the way!”
When she’s finally out of his sight, he touched his hand that made contact with Shida Mirai’s. Finally, he knew her name.
“Shida Mirai… What a beautiful name…”
He let out a shy smile on his face and swung his bag on his shoulder.
That was the first time he smiled… for real.
But I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait, I'm yours
Days, weeks, and months have passed until it’s Valentine’s Day. The day where girls give their chocolates to the guy they love.
But it’s the other way around for Yamada Ryosuke. He thought that it’s better if he should be the one to give chocolates to Shida Mirai.
Just as he was about to go to Shida Mirai’s classroom, he saw her coming to him. Panting, she handed over a small red box to his hands and ran her way back to her classroom.
Yamada Ryosuke just stood there, dazed with what had just happened. Did Shida Mirai just came running to him and lent him a small red box?
He slowly opened the small red box, afraid of what could be inside. When the box was finally opened, his eyes blinked once… twice… thrice…
“Ch…cho…chocolate?”
He couldn’t believe it! Shida Mirai just gave him a piece of chocolate on that very special romantic day! That only meant…
“Could it be that she likes me too?”
That was the first time he felt oh so happy!
Open up your mind and see like me
Open up your plans and damn you're free
Look into your heart and you'll find
The sky is yours
After their last classes, Yamada Ryosuke immediately fetched Shida Mirai in her classroom. There’s something that she needed to know from him before their last day together ends.
They ran and ran until they reached a field full of sweet peas and violets. She felt so amazed. That was her first time seeing such scenery.
“Oh my, Yamada-kun… It’s so beautiful down here…”
He proudly smiled to himself. He used to be in that place before when she was still an unknown to him.
He walked towards her and held her hands in his. It felt so good for their hands fitted exactly with one another.
“Sh-Shida-chan, I h-have to tell you s-something…”
“Okay… Slow down… What is it?”
He swallowed nervously and she noticed it. Was he really ready to tell her? She could feel his hands sweating so she held it tight.
“It’s okay, Yamada-kun. You can do it.”
It’s as if she knew already what’s in his mind and was only just waiting for him to tell her. She smiled beautifully at him to assure him that it’s going to be just fine.
The smile on her face and the warmth of her hands against his gave him enough strength and courage to tell her what his heart really wanted her to know. He breathed deeply and shouted,
“Shida-chan, daisuki!”
Contented, she smiled again at him and confessed,
“Atashi mou.”
After saying that, she leaned closer to him and prepared herself to give him her first kiss.
“You’re my first kiss, Ryo-kun!”
Hand in hand, they ran and danced and twirled in the middle of their very own delightful field of romance.
That was the first time he felt the sweetness of a first kiss.
So please don't, please don’t, please don’t
There's no need to complicate
‘Cause our time is short
This is, this is, this is our fate
I'm yours
The night of that day before he drifted to sleep, Yamada Ryosuke gathered all his firsts in his mind with Shida Mirai. Finally, the dream he thought was impossible to reach is now in his hands. He vowed to himself that he’s going to make his love for Shida Mirai last a lifetime.
“Mirai-chan, I’M YOURS!!!!!!!!!!"
