Sakura Short Story: My own place
Chabashira-sensei, Class D’s homeroom teacher, concluded the class meeting and declared the end of the classes.
Glancing at the students who were talking about how to spend the time after school, I quietly walked out of the classroom.
Whether it’s attending school or during weekends, my job always starts at 4 o’clock.
Grabbing my partner with one hand –my digital camera, I prepared to start taking photos and after that, uploading them to my homepage.
This is my daily assignment.
“How should I take the photos today?”
I have to avoid repeating compositions while I update my selfies to the homepage every day, but I can’t leave the school grounds, so it’s very difficult.
Even so, Koudou Ikusei Advanced High School’s campus environments are really abundant.
In the campus there are a shopping center and a cinema, in the gym there is a swimming pool, there are sufficient facilities, so choosing a different place isn’t challenging.
…this should’ve been the case, but I could be seen in those places.
Because in order to avoid those situations, I’ve kept taking pictures repeating the same places with nobody around.
Behind the teaching block, inside the gym, or the shopping center after the business hours.
But I can’t say that there’s no problem as long as there are no people.
In places where there are no people, there would be a fairly unique lonely atmosphere.
By taking a picture in a deserted shopping center, it can’t be helped that it would give a quiet and lonely feeling.
Since it’s rare that I upload photos, I really want it to be those types of pictures that can make people feel happy after seeing them.
Or those that can cure their souls. Even if it sounds extraordinary, those are my thoughts.
“No... I might need to try harder”
Although today was the first time coming to the school’s periphery, the landscape was a bit lacking.
Even though it was a good thing that there were no people, it was more boring than what I predicted, it lacked charm.
After that, I discovered a small building like an assembled house.
Since I had a lot of time, I went around the building by following the wall in order to examine the place.
Small and comfortable, built very exquisitely and pleasing to the eye.
There was a warning stuck at the entrance that said “Not allowed to use yet”
I tried to peek through the small window.
Inside, there were those tables used in meetings, folded chairs and a shelf, but I didn’t know its use.
Will they use this place to conduct discussions?
I felt as if I was doing a bad thing by peekinginside without permission, so my heart couldn’t help but beat faster.
I whispered “I’m very sorry” and I left the building behind.
Even though the landscapes were somewhat lacking, but with the pass of the time, my evaluation also changed.
Especially due to the mysterious atmosphere brought by the sunset, the same place could also feel like a different place.
Hm… it might be difficult doing it here.
