Twice over, no less.
This was a humiliation she, Anon-chan who always strategized and swept the field, had never experienced.
'You little inherently evil brat, Anon-nee will correct you!'
She put her hands on her hips, trying to force an "angry" expression, but that bright, sunny, lively nature made her look adorably hammed-up instead, like an angry little lion with no dignity.
"Ka! E! To! I'm going to be mad"
Before she finished, the boy calmly pulled two tickets from his bag and lightly waved them.
"Actually," he said with a small smile, "I bought tickets for today."
Human emotion is a strange thing.
It can change utterly in a matter of seconds.
The girl's dreamy, sakura-pink hair fluttered in the sunlight; joy shone in those gray, deer-like eyes, like scattered starlight.
"R-really?", She leaned closer, her hair swaying with the motion, "Today? What time? Which theater?"
"Six this evening, but", Kaito showed a perfectly timed puzzled look, "Chihaya-san, were you just angry a moment ago?"
He paused, then considerately suggested as if about to take back the tickets, "If you don't want to go, I can find someone else."
"Wait! Wait! Wait!", Anon hurriedly grabbed his wrist, then realized the intimacy and yanked back, ears red, "Um I was just joking earlier! I wasn't angry at all!"
"Really?", Kaito considered, "But you did say 'I'm going to be mad'"
"That was a slip of the tongue!", Anon put her hands together, swore solemnly, "I couldn't possibly mean it! Yes, that's right! I didn't mean it!"
Coming from a humble family is not shameful.
To be adaptable and yielding is the mark of a true man!
'Endure for now; when I catch you, I'll make you carry my bag for a hundred years. A HUNDRED YEARS!'
Thinking a joke should be tempered, and not wanting this girl to really explode, Kaito said no more and simply put the tickets on her desk, "See you at the school gate after class."
"Hehe!"
Anon took the movie tickets like a treasure, smoothing over nonexistent creases with care, unable to stop a smile from rising.
Only
"'Javier's Moving Castle'?", she read it aloud, syllable by syllable, looking a little bewildered. [T/N: LOL!!]
'What a strange name.'
"It's said to be an uplifting, positive anime movie," Kaito glanced down at his phone, "The director Miyazaki Hidetoshi also did 'Mimi's Delivery Service,' which is well received and rates highly online."
"If you don't like it, we can pick another one."
This wasn't the type of film girls would typically like, was it?
If you watch a movie with a crush, even if not a horror, it should at least be a delicate, sugar-sprinkled romance to set the mood.
But
"Since you bought the tickets I'll watch it properly!"
A breeze brushed the curtains, dressing the morning perfectly.
Sunlight through the branches cast warm patches on the desks. The pink-haired girl lay on the desk, murmuring to the tickets "at least it's a date," the blush on her cheeks lingering.
