"How long will you keep standing there? Are you that lost because the boy left?" And here Saki was brought back by a familiar voice.
"M-Mom!! Wait when?" It was none other than Saki's mother, but that wasn't the main point right now.
She was confused at what happened, her mind just blanked all of a sudden like it went into sleep mode, and then she found herself here. So, currently, nothing made sense to her.
"So, who was that? hmm~~, Your boyfriend? I'd have to say you found a real good one," It was just that, her mother wouldn't let her think about anything else as she was more interested in talking about what she didn't know.
"N-No, he is my friend!!" Saki spoke quickly, almost biting her tongue in the process.
"Ohhh? Friend is it? So, young people spend the entire days on their Graduation and holidays with their friends, and beco so sad that they look like they lost their soul when the friend leaves?" Her mother smirked in response to the plethora of emotions painting Saki's face—she could read her daughter like an open book, truthfully anyone could.
"I-I-It's not like that!!" Saki rushed past her mother with her flushed face, being teased like this wasn't sothing she expected and it certainly wasn't sothing she was ready for.
"I see I see, it is not like that, huh?" The mother smiled seeing Saki rush to her room, she had more questions but decided to let it be for now.
"Seriously what is she thinking?!" Saki on the other hand huffed, closing the door behind her with a bang.
If anyone saw Adam and her, there was no way they would reach that conclusion, after all, they were just friends and they didn't act any differently.
"There's no… way…" Saki's words trailed off, she had rembered so of the instances that could be misunderstood.
Especially when he patted her head to reassure her, and most importantly the complint that caused her to space out just a little while ago.
"Argh!!! There is nothing like that!" Saki jumped into the bed to get the thought out of her mind.
"It was just a friendly complint… yeah that was all…" A blush painted her face as she tried to justify it.
But it all seed futile…
"Why did… she have to say that…?" After her mother's teasing remarks, and how her heart pounded while rembering the mont.
"Why am I thinking of it?" Saki buried her face into the pillow, she didn't want to view their relationship like that. After all, Adam had acted like a proper friend to her, and he didn't do anything wrong so it wouldn't be good if she went thinking like that.
"She didn't talk to him that way, did she?" For a second, Saki felt her heart drop. The possibility of her mother talking about that topic with Adam was high, and given that she wasn't thinking straight at the ti. There was no way of knowing what happened, and more importantly, she had no idea what Adam thought of that.
"I have to tell him that she was joking!" Saki quickly stood up, and quickly searched for her phone by overturning her purse on its head.
"How do I talk about that?" But as soon as she opened the ssenger on the phone, her fingers froze in an instant.
-Hello Adam, I am writing this ssage to tell you, to not take what my mother said about us seriously
"There is no way I can say that!" Saki imdiately discarded it.
"Wouldn't I look like a fool, if she didn't say anything like that? And why do I sound so arrogant!" Saki felt like tearing her hair out, ssaging soone normally was too much for her, but with the topic in hand, it was even worse.
And above all, to think sothing like this with Adam, even if her mother had said sothing like that to him…
"Yeah… soone like … shouldn't think that way…" Saki caught at her reflection in the window glass and cald down.
"Even if mom said it, he wouldn't take it seriously…" She smiled slightly, sohow that made her feel at ease, but also made her heart tighten slightly.
'I am not soone like him would look at that way...' But she knew that it was the truth, no matter how much she thought about it. There was no chance of it being otherwise.
"Yeah… I should be glad that he beca my friend…" Saki hugged the Doraemon plushie lying on the bed, "I am happy with just this…"
RING*
But her phone rang in the next instant, and it was a ssage from Adam.
Adam—My phone won't be available for a few days.
"Another text without any context!" Saki didn't understand why this guy just got to the point so quickly, because her heart couldn't take these sudden ssages that left so much room for interpretation.
'It is making anxious because of what happened with Mom,' That is why she decided to bite her tongue and ask him directly.
—What happened?
Well, not directly, but it worked.
Adam—I have to go away for so urgent work, I'll be back quickly.
"Looks like it doesn't have anything to do with Mom," Saki felt a huge burden being lifted off her shoulders with that, but another thing was bugging her now.
And after much deliberation, she decided to just continue with her questions.
—When will you co back?
Adam—Hmm, I should be back in a month at most
'It must be sothing important…' Saki understood but it was still not a good feeling. And the next ssage just increased that…
Adam—You gonna miss or sothing?
The red on Saki's face deepened when she saw that, and it got worse when she saw what she had nearly sent on impulse.
'Yes' That is what she wrote on her own, but thankfully she noticed before sending it and quickly rewrote it.
—I was just asking
Adam—Bumr
'Did he expect to miss him? No way... but why would he say that?' Saki's heartbeat quickened but she cald herself down forcefully.
"He must be joking, yeah that's it…" She shook her head to get the thought out by being rational, and she even tried to derail the conversation from this topic by starting another.
—Did you do the thing you wanted to do today?
It was certainly late as this work should've been completed in the morning, but that didn't happen.
'Hopefully, he didn't miss his work because of …' Saki knew that this wouldn't have happened if she wasn't in the way, so it was another of the things that weighed on her mind.
Adam—Yeah, I finished that, it wasn't a problem so don't worry
—I am not worried
Adam—Suuuuure
—What's that supposed to an?
Saki pouted, it wasn't a nice feeling that he saw through her that easily.
'But I dunno, I feel at ease that he knows…' She couldn't say why, but it was just a feeling.
Adam—Nothing really, then bye, take care of yourself and rember what I said
—Yes Bye, you take care as well, Insert Cat Wave emoji*
Adam—I will
After seeing that ssage, Saki kept staring at the screen for a few minutes even if she knew that no new ssages would co for a while.
"Rember what I said..." She knew what he was talking about, "How will I ever forget that? There is no way I can…" That was the first ti soone made her feel that secure, it was sothing that gave her so much courage.
'Will he really co if I think about it? Isn't that just an exaggerated sentence?' It was normal to think that way, but sohow Saki felt like it wasn't a lie.
When she heard those words, it was the most comforting feeling ever, and no matter how exaggerated they may seem.
"I feel like he will really co to save , if I am in danger," She didn't know why, but she decided to trust his words after all those words did save her once.
"No, I think I know…" Saki held the plushie in a tight hug, feeling the heat take over her face along with an unrestrained heartbeat, "I think… I like him…" It was a vague feeling, and that is why she wasn't sure about it.
"But soone like ..." Regardless, her lackluster appearance only dampened her confidence.
"What do I do?" and it only served to confuse her further, because even if she liked him.
"There is just… no way…"
