The White Day Verdict... Does He Love Her? Does He Love Her Not?

So what's the White Day answer that we've all been waiting for? If you have no idea what I'm talking about catch up by scrolling down to the purple writing a few entries down.

Sairi enters the room in a frenzy, five minutes before the starting time. I can tell she's trying to get something out, but has no time to muddle through her words, for she is so excited that she stumbles over the shoes and slippers in the entrance way.

She catches herself in mid-fall and looks up at me, the smile widens on her face but she is too shy to tell me the news.

So I ask.

Did you get White Day chocolate?

Yes, I'm so happy, she replied.

Tell me everything that happened and don't leave out a single detail.

Ok. He said to me - and then she switches to English - "Here you are," and gives me the chocolate. I said thank you. And then he said, "I like you." And I replied, I like you too. Then he asked me if I wanted to be his girlfriend, and I said yes.

13-year old Sairi in perfect English finishes her story by saying, "My first boyfriend."

I congratulated her and asked her all the juicy details. Did you hold hands yet?

Yes, we walked home from school together, she said, taking my hand and swinging it.

Did you kiss him yet?

NO!!

Are you going to kiss him??

Yes, probably.

Are you nervous?

Yes, very.

What kind of kiss? I point to the cheek, "Just the cheek?" I point to the lips, "Just the lips?" "Or are you going to stick your tongue in his mouth?!" I asked in disgust.

She replied in equal disgust, "No way!! Just the lips. I'm too young to stick my tongue in anyone's mouth."

That's good, I added my two cents in simple Japanese. "And you don't have to be nervous about that, that's easy. See, you go just like this, " as I showed her how to kiss the air.

"I know I know," Sairi said.

We then told Ayaka the good news, her fellow student who is one year her junior. We celebrated once again, then continued on with class.


The exercise was making simple sentences out of adjectives. Adjective: Slow. Danielle's sentence: "Gino's driving is slow." Adjective: Fast. Ayaka's sentence: "Takumi-kun is fast."

We all laughed, Sairi blushed. I added, "If he is I'll find him and hit him, hit him right on the head."

I love Japanese kids. They really are the cutest.
