“Uhm…huh…? But…I don’t have powers…” Are they disappointed? I hope not…

“Oh…” They all looked down. “Gomenasai…” I apologized.

“Well…you really don’t need powers to give good advices. You just need a clean heart, clever mind and common sense. I’m sure Sadako has those.” Hirano-san looked at the others thoughtfully. “Wow! This is the first time you became serious Hirano!!! I’m amazed!!” Takano-san joked. “Don’t push it.” Hirano-san said angrily.

The whole class laughed.

“So, how about it Sadako? Wanna give it a try?” Endou-san asked. “Ummm…”

“Pleeeeeaaase…just this once Sadako…” All of them pleaded.

…

“I’ll…do my best…”

All of them smiled. “Arigato Sadako!!! …No…ARIGATO SAWAKO!!!” They all said at once.

The next thing I knew, I was crying. “S-Sawako…?” They looked worried. “G-Gomenasai…It’s just that…this is the first time all of you thanked me…and called me by my name…”

“Well…I guess we were the ones wrong Sawako. We misunderstood you because of your appearance. We’re sorry.” “Let’s try to be friends ‘kay?” Hirano and Endou-san said happily.

I guess today was a good day.

Now I feel like the wall between me and everyone in class…disappeared.

But how did that happen…? Maybe…because Ayane, Chizuru and Kazehaya inspired me along the way.
