The river rushed along quietly, the breeze dancing with the leaves. I heard a small rustle.

I lazily opened my eyes. Nothing seemed any different. Maybe a bird?

"Mitsue-kun?" I heard a familiar voice behind me. I look around. Am I imagining things?

Emerging from behind the tree was the girl from yesterday, her white hat in hand.

"W-what are you doing here...?" I trailed off. I wasn't sure what to say. Was I surprised?

Happy? Both? My tongue stuck to the roof of my mouth. 

"Well... I got bored of sitting around, so Uncle told me to go walk along the river and I ended 

up here!" She gestured dramatically of the surroundings with her hands. 

"Well, uh..." I mumbled. "Hina! Ishikawa Hina." She interjected with a smile. She put out her 

hand. I stood up and awkwardly shook it. "Well, I-ishikawa-san, would you like to sit down?"
