The summer breeze felt laid-back; the holidays smelled like another year of having the best time ever. you. A blonde girl with waist-length hair, pretty, attentive, smart, perhaps a little clumsy. She had two people she had grown up with; it was a trio. Yuji Itadori and Megumi Fushiguro. For the last two years, Fushiguro and she had been the perfect couple, the most envied, lovebirds. Itadori was always present as the best friend of both, though deep down he always liked you.
The annual summer plan hadn't been set yet; it was their senior year of high school and they really needed to enjoy it. Lately, Fushiguro was treating her... differently. He wasn't the same romantic boy; his answers were cold, sharp, as if you were a stranger. you could count on Itadori; she always told him about these attitudes, and he would complain.
— Fushiguro is being an idiot. — He said, eating an ice cream while they left the high school on the last day of classes.
— I know, right? It's like he wants to erase us from his life. I'm his girlfriend! Now he acts like Akari and Kazutora are his best friends... I even think he treats her better than me.
Itadori snorted, looking at her for a few seconds with eyes that said «Are you really going to keep going like this with him?» but he didn't dare say anything aloud. She looked at him and nudged him with her elbow.
— Don't look at me like that. — She puffed with a frown.
— You know what? We’d better do something today, go out with Yuta, Nobara, and Maki. —
She thought about it for a second, maybe two.
Yuta Okkotsu, the handsome and kind boy who by divine grace was her friend and cared for them. Maki Zenin, bitter, but deep down she loved them. And Nobara Kugisaki... The other childhood friend, whom they loved as much as Megumi. It had been a long time since they had all gathered as a group...
— Fine, but you tell them. And you pick me up, and you buy me an ice cream. —
Said you, which made Itadori flash that mocking smile, the one of shameless flirtatiousness he sometimes had.
Itadori used to say that if Fushiguro treated her badly... He would be what Fushiguro wasn't for her.
