In perfect sync with the final bell Bret would shoot straight up from his chair and exit the classroom with the teacher still in the middle of his "good bye and good luck" speech to the classroom. He had spent all last night writing this confession letter and in the end after several hours of sweaty palms, migraines and frustration he still couldnt find the right words to say. He would write one thing then erase it then write another and erase it like a pathetic cycle of fails. Why was it so hard? All he had to do was write "I like you" but it wasnt that simple.
Making his way down the hall he would turn a corner and head down a flight of stairs. The stairs lead to the main entrance of the school building and just on the inside of the entrance was the shoe lockers and umbrella racks for the school. On his way down he would give way to a group of school girls climbing up the stairs chattering about the upcoming hanabi taikai then reaching the first floor he would make his way to the shoe lockers sweep the area with his eyes and then make his way to her locker. With a deep breath he would open her shoe locker take out his hand sized confession letter then gently place the letter on top of her school shoes. The moment the letter left his hand It felt as if a heavy boulder had just been lifted from his shoulders and with a sigh of relief he would head to the place where he would get his answer.

Dear Isobe Hanabi chan
Its been very hard for me to write this letter and this has to be like my 3007386th attempt lol. man i feel like an idiot..... but i have a strong feeling that i might never get the chance to ever do so again so here i go... It starts 3 years ago in jnr high when you offered me a bento. You probably didn't know at the time but i never was able to eat much at home and could not afford to eat or bring lunch to school so i was always hungry. I never was able to tell you how grateful i was but i wanted to let you know these memories of your kindness are like spring roses in the winter times of my life and its a sacred source of power that keeps me motivated to come to school. Im sorry about all the banter Hanabi but i-i just wanted to say thank you. Thank you for these 3 years and thank you for making school much more tolerable then in the past hahaha.
What i am trying to say is ever since that day i have liked you and it would be an honor if you would..if you would accompany me to the hanabi taikai. i will wait your reply on the school roof.
