Monsoon Romance

(Age: 7)

Scene:

It's the first day of school, and Haruto feels a mixture of excitement and nerves. He stands in front of the school gate, his heart racing. Aiko, always full of energy, is already there, bouncing up and down.

Aiko (grinning):

"Haruto! We're in the same class! This is going to be so much fun!"

Haruto looks at her, relieved that he'll have someone familiar with him.

Haruto (smiling nervously):

"Yeah… I guess it will be."

As they walk together to their classroom, Aiko chatters excitedly about everything, from the new classmates to the lunch menu. Haruto listens quietly, but he's glad to be with her.

Once they reach the classroom, they find their seats. Aiko waves excitedly as she sits down next to Haruto.

Aiko (whispering):

"See? We're so close! It's like we're still under the cherry tree."

Haruto smiles softly, feeling comforted by her words.
