The Two College Girls Talk It Over

My best friend and I had been close since high school.

I played softball, while Mizuho was in the dance club.

Our clubs were different, but we often spent our breaks and days off together.

We were in the same class our first year, and Mizuho, who got along with just about anyone, quickly became friends with me, too.

I assumed she was close with everyone, but before I knew it, the group I belonged to had become the group Mizuho was in.

Mizuho was always at the center, bright and cheerful.

I couldn't count how many times her smile and innocence had cheered me up.

When I heard she was applying to the same university as me, I was secretly happy.

When I made a face and said, "I'm stuck with Mizuho again?" she'd laugh and say, "Why do you look so unhappy?!"

I even thought that with Mizuho around, at least I wouldn't have to worry about making friends at college...
