Chapter Text
Location - Miyamasuzaka Girls' Academy 📍
Ichika and her friends have recently gotten out of school, since it was summer break at the time, and they had A LOT of things planned to do over the summer.
Ichika walks out of school with her 3 closest friends, Saki, Honami, and Shiho. They start talking about the things they're gonna do together, like going to the nearest theme park, or trying out some new food!
Shiho: "So, anyone have ideas? I'm out of them."
Saki mentions going to the park right around the school, it was their hangout spot when they were kids.
Saki: "Why don't we go to the park right over there? Hey, race you to the entrance!"
Ichika chuckles, she races with Saki to the park playfully until she trips on an phone felt behind on the sidewalk.
Honami notices, and walks to Ichika, to make sure she's okay and didn't get an bruise, or stratch.
Honami: "Ichika! Are you okay? That was quite an big fall you had, be careful!!"
Shiho sighed, then walked up to Honami, rolling her eyes, she thought that Honami was being ridiculous and extremely worried over nothing but an trip.
Shiho: "She's fine, she just tripped. You need to watch where you're going, Ichika."
She replied, but Shiho was secretly worried about Ichika too, since they've been best friends for about FOREVER now, and she didn't want anything horrible to happen to her.
Saki offers her hand to Ichika, and pulls her up from the ground. She dusts her clothes of and says,
Ichika: "Come on guys, we have no time to waste!"
Saki: "Alright, just let me put on my chapstick first and I'll be there in a second!"
Saki, Shiho, and Honami all walked to the park's gates, but Ichika decided to stop, and observe before she walked away,
"Why would someone leave an old phone here?"
She thought, really confused why someone would leave an old, worn out phone on the street.
Ichika picked up the phone in curiosity, not realizing that someone would bump into her as she was distracted.
It's Minori, she was walking to an Cafe with her friends Haruka and Shizuku, she didn't realize where she was going and bumped into Ichika.
Minori: "Oh, I'm so sorry for bumping into you, Ichika. I got distracted and-"
Ichika interrupts her speech, and replies with something simple, saying that it wasn't a problem to her and she understands what happened.
Ichika: "It's fine, honestly.
There's an amount of silence until Ichika decides to break it, asking where they're going?
Ichika: Also, where are you three headed?"
Ichika asks, curiously.
Minori: "Oh, well we we're just going to head to the new café that just opened yesterday."
Hakura: "Yeah, I've seen it all around Social Media, so we thought we would try it out."
....
There's awkward silence for an while, Ichika clears up her throat, and interrupts the silence.
Ichika: "Without Airi...? You know, she likes cute stuff. And you're just gonna... leave her out, just like that?"
Shizuku: "Well, Airi is sadly sick... and we planned our reservations yesterday, we didn't know she would end up like...that."
Hakura suddenly drags the two, they rush to the cafe, they're late.
Hakura: "Anyways, we really gotta go. Bye!"
Ichika sighs, then hears Saki, telling her to come to the park.
Saki: "Ichika!! Come on, the sun starting to set. We don't have that much time!"
Saki teases, Ichika sighs, then looks back at the phone on the sidewalk.
"Odd, I'll go investigate it later with Tsukasa and Rui, they're good with technology.... right?"
She tells herself, puts the phone in her pocket, and walks to them.
4 HOURS LATER....
Ichika, Saki, Honami, and Shiho have been stargazing ever since the sun set. They've been laughing at each other's jokes for an while now, and it's starting to get late.
Shiho: "Hah, you sure do know a lot about stars, Ichika."
Ichika: "Well, I find stars to be magnificent to me, they always catch my eye. "
Ichika smiles, enjoying talking about stars with Shiho and the others.
Ichika: "You know, every single year, there's this one specific star that can grant you're wishes, and can make them true!"
Saki: "Are you sure that isn't something random you found on Google while researching about stars the other day?
Because almost every single thing on there is false, or made up."
Ichika: "They could be true-
Shiho interrupts the playful argument, laughing as Honami watches, she's bored out of her mind.
Ichika's phone rings, it's her mother, coming to pick her up.
Ichika: "Guys, I gotta go, see you tomorrow?"
Shiho: "Sure, see you tomorrow!"
Saki, Honami, and Shiho wave, as Ichika walks to her mother's car, and drives back home.
Ichika's Mother : "So, Ichika. How was you're last day of school today?"
Ichika: "It was good, I got to hang out with my friends at our childhood spot."
Ichika's Mother : "That's good, hey, maybe you and you're friends can hang out tomorrow."
Ichika: "I would love that, thanks mom!"
