A girl who was like a beautiful lilac.
Ah... well, hi. It feels a bit awkward trying to write a letter like this. I suddenly remembered the day we first met. Back then, I just wanted to clear my head, so I went to the beach in Okinawa on a whim, and there you were, sitting and picking up seashells. To be honest, you were really, truly beautiful. Beautiful enough for me to fall in love at first sight. I thought I was going to go crazy. I even wondered if this was just male instinct. I sat down next to you naturally and started picking up shells too. Then, I found a really pretty one. When you looked at me with those sparkling eyes, I felt like I was losing my mind. You were doing everything—being cute, being pretty, all by yourself. When I gave it to you, the way you jumped for joy was so adorable. What I felt looking at you then... was lilac. But you know what? They say the language of lilac flowers is 'first love'.

Today was just another ordinary day, no different from any other. Just a typical day of putting on my school uniform and heading to school with my practice gear and basketball in my bag.
On the way, I looked up at the sky and for some reason, the face of that girl I saw at the beach in Okinawa came to mind. She really was pretty back then. I miss her already. She looked lonely then. I wonder if she has a boyfriend.
I arrived at school like that. I already didn't want to be there. But even though I didn't want to go in, I had this feeling that I had to. Like someone was shouting in my ear, 'You have to go!'
I went to the classroom as usual, plopped down in my seat, and lowered my head. I was just about to fall asleep when I heard a transfer student had arrived.
Ignoring my friend next to me who kept poking me, I tried to keep sleeping, but things suddenly got noisy. I sat up grumpily. Everything was a bit blurry at first. Then, after about five seconds, the figure became clear.
And there, standing in front of me, was you—the girl who was like a beautiful lilac.
