I Saw a Smile Chapter 1

LOVE SMILE(TLN: It was written in English)

AN:  My love experience is equal to dead, however this will be a romance novel that I composed that references the opinions from my female friends

Even if you think “such a romantic love!” please do not forget that, because experience=age

I would appreciate it if you can read it with the light feeling of “Even so, such a romance is nice~” kind of feelings.

Since when have I come to like him? In what areas did I come to be charmed by? To such questions, I can not answer, but I like him. School’s number one most handsome and popular, study and athletics are perfect, yet is always cool.

To such a person, I fell in love.

The day of the public high school entrance ceremony, I was surprised. Such an ikemen was close by. I happened to be in the same class, and observed his figure in the classroom…… although certainly it was bad, well… I was watching.

About 2 weeks had passed since we entered school. Even now, I had not talked to him yet. Today as well, during lunch break I saw him sneak off to eat his bento. (TLN: It might be “during the break I snuck off to watch him eat lunch” but I’m pretty sure that is wrong. Ahahaha)

“I wonder what kind of person…”

“Maー That child, Oomichi-kun is to watch onlyー”

Yes, his name is Oomichi Natsuki(大道夏樹/おおみち なつき) A wonderful boy who soon became popular after enrollment. When said Oomichi-kun is amazing…

“Listen to the conversation!”

A strong impact travels through my back. Someone had hit me.

“Owwww! Why’d you do that.”

“Because you did not listen to me, Sugishita Kaori.”

She struck my back, my no.1 friend made in high school Sasahara Mizuki（笹原瑞樹/ささはら　みずき）. A little strong-willed or to say self-assured, never the less let’s say that it also her charm.

“Kaori, hey… because you look like a stalker”

“Su, stalker!?”

Certainly, what I, Sugishita Kaori am doing may look stalker-ish… But it is just genuine interest…

“Whatever the reason you are still stalker-ish, Kaori?”

To say so, Mizuki’s bento’s mini tomatoes went in my mouth. Stalker… huh?

“…”

I could not say anything and looked down. I’ve only had my mother’s prepared bento.

His seat and mine were not too far away, only just a little bit.

While in class, I was listening to the teacher while looking at his figure from behind. Although usually nothing occurs, but today was a bit different.

In the afternoon the first lesson is math. While viewing him as usual, My ears were listening to the teacher’s speech.

At that time, his eraser fell from his desk and rolled on the floor towards mine.

I wasn’t able to move at the moment because it had been too sudden.

“Nn, ano, Oomichi, your eraser.”

Is seems Oomichi-kun hadn’t noticed, and when the teacher called out he started looking for the eraser that fell.

“Ah, ano, Oomichi-kun, your eraser.”

I was nervous to tell him his eraser was here in my hand

He rose from his chair, and came here to take his eraser,

“Thank you, Sugishita-san”

My heart quickened at once. His voice was a very… low pleasant voice that resounded.  In addition, I caught a glimpse of a smile, it was a very gentle smile. I have never seen such a beautiful smile.

That smile, I wanted to see it again… My head was full with only that.
