(okay. I admit to failing at 3rd person. I'm just gonna write from Hana's point of view.)

When I told everyone I didn't know the guy, I could've told them I didn't know anyone outside our little group. Fai didn't know many, but he knew a few more than I did. I fingered the little stone on the chain around my neck. Never had it changed color from purple. It ment Fai was still happy. Apparently, these stones were suppose to change color when we felt different emotions. Fai's was always blue, meaning that I was happy. Watching his little smile, my heart felt full, seeing he was truely happy. Looking up at the bright sky, I smiled brightly.

"This day gets better and better, huh!" I said to no one in particular.

"Yes, it does," Fai agreed.

"Ha ha!" I laughed. Leaning back onto him, laid his arms over my shoulders, around my neck. For now, I was content. Very few things could desturb this good mood. Surrounded by new friends, with my best friend behind me, life seemed almost perfect. Past problems could remain in the past. The future... well, save it for when the time comes.
