Sato let out a gentle, friendly laugh. "I usually keep to myself. I don't usually get along with people all that well. But I guess I just got tired of being alone. I haven't really been here that long, so I didn't really know where people hung out. I just walked around and ended up meeting you. So your the first person I've decided to talk to."<br/><br/>He walked next to her smiling. It felt good to smile. It was something he didn't do very often. He liked being near this girl. He didn't know why. She was just someone he felt comfortable around. And she didn't judge him as much as others did. Everyone always judged him with everything he did. She was different.<br/><br/>He checked his phone. He had 4 missed calls from his boss. He knew what doing this would cost him, but he did it anyway.<span style="font-style: italic">I can be so stupid sometimes</span>he thought. But he was willing to accept it if it meant he could be happy, even for a short time.
