Winter 1999, graduation is 2 weeks away from now, I sighed. Look at that graduation tree, will my wish comes true? It is just 2 weeks away..</p>
"Anybody wants to be in the group for graduation album? We need two people from this class" my teacher speaks clearly.
"Hai, watashi!"
I turned my head to the front as I see Shiori standing gracefully
from her seat, now facing the whole class.
"Yoroshiku Onegaishimasu!" She nodded

<p>
That's Shiori, whom I always want to be, whom I always long for.
Whom I would like to confess my love to. Whom I wish to see under the legendary tree of Kirameki High School, waiting for me to confess her love at graduation day. It would be the happiest day in my life if I could make my dream come true.</p>
"Now that we have a girl, we still need to find one more person.
Anyone else who'd like to volunteer?"
"Hai!! I recommend him! He has been looking forward to getting the
position!"

<p>
Yoshio lifted my right arm before I realized what has happened..
I tried to protest but he stepped on my foot.. HARD! "Really? That's a surprise! If there is nobody else then it is settled!"</p>
"Ne Yoshio! What is this all about?" I asked him after the lesson had ended.
"Don't you realize an important thing? The girl who volunteered is Fujisaki Shiori! Your lovely childhood friend who lives next to your house! Don't you want to be with her? You always look at her but do nothing"
"Well, we've been going out together, shopping.. last week we went to this accessories shop"
"Great! And you are satisfied with that?! Have you ever confessed to her? Nope! She will regard you as childhood friend and that's it! Now is your chance to get her, that's exactly why I recommended you!"
"What are you two talking about?" A soft voice comes from Yoshio's back.
"Fujisaki-san! ahahaha.. I won't disturb you two then! Have a nice afternoon! Both of you! Only two of you! Ja, ne.. hahaha"
"fufufu, Yoshio-kun is always like usual."

<p>
Anyway, these are the photos we need to sort. Plenty of them..</p>
<p>
"Haaah... It has been a long time since we worked together! Kore kara mo, yoroshikune! Ja, let's start! I'll search the photo and you
proof-read these compositions"</p>
Yup, indeed it has been a long time since we worked together..
it goes back to my childhood times. The times we spent all day together...I read through the composition and corrected some mistakes I found on it.
<p align=center><img src="http://www.shiori.00server.com/pic05.jpg">
<p>
"Hai, Shiori, I have finished. Check it one more time"
"ettone.. hm.. it seems Ok, how about this photo?"
"That seems allright.." we discussed about the photo and time goes by...</p>
It is time to go home now...
"Ano.. Shiori.. shall we go home together? Ano.. I mean your house is
just next to mine and we can take the same road, so I guess we can go
home together"
"eh..? but of course! shall we go now?"
<p align=center><img src="http://www.shiori.00server.com/pic06.gif">
<p>
On the way home I look at her.. how many times do we have left until graduation, in a few more days we might not be able to go home together like this anymore...</p>
"Ne, Ryu! Have you thought of what to write for your composition? That 'Ichiban Kaga yaita Toki'. Not yet? I see.. *sigh* There is only a few more days left that we can go home together like this.. this road that we go through everyday to school.. it is only 2 weeks before we end our high school life.. what do you think of it?"
"I'll feel lonely" I replied. "We might not be able to see each other
anymore"
"fufufu...silly, my house is just next to yours. We can meet anytime we want. But I guess you are right, i feel a bit lonely as well"
We talked about the coming graduation on the rest of the road, til I see her off to her house.. "Only 2 weeks left" I sighed before I entered my house and went to my room.
