So......I'm not angry.I have cram school tomorrow.I was really scared.And other pointless things,But,Since she's enjoying it.I'll bring it to you.Ok...! I'll be waiting...I don't think Saitou has a cell phone.Eh, but, I just came to hand this to you...I'm on duty today. Anyway... Not many people go there during lunch.conversations are forbiddenSince last night, that sort of thing has repeated in my head hundreds of times."Exchange" Notebooks Don't Talk
Last PartEven though I didn't mean to do that.AhI wanted to know if she was going out with Yokoi.I...Her bright voice made me feel guilty.Her getting angry on that summer day in the library,I have to lock up.I couldn't hear her voice.But,Thinking this,MikasaYeah, it's true.Means she's too busy with Yokoi and the cram school, right?Was really because those girls were being loud. After thinking about that,Because I was thinking about this and that and other unnecessary things,I didn't respond in the usual way.The notebook...I see...It was now several days later, and I realized I hadn't passed her the notebook.I did the worst thing and refused to write it myself.Her not saying anything,It's fine, isn't it?-raryMy voice was uncool and shaking.Ah, the notebook... Tomorrow...Mikasa-kun, won't you go to the library...Well, you see, I thought you and Yokoi were going out...That's why there's nothing I can do about it.Mikasa-kun, I... UmmmIt's already school closing time.Well, prying into it would be trouble for Saitou.It's fine, isn't it?You seem angry.Without realizing it,I see... I'm sorry.Eh... Did you... hear anything from Yokoi-kun...?Ah... Yeah, I got it.I didn't want to know anything more about her.Ummm...Why...You should just tell her yourself...No, it's not that I can't... Ok, fine...There's something I want to talk to you about...I'm sorry, but can I ask you to be here by yourself?Her voice was really quiet.I couldn't look at her face.If I only had the courage to turn around,Somehow, I suddenly felt uneasy, like I was stealing away her time.Good morning, Yokoi-kun.Anything. Nothing at all.I thought we couldn't continue doing the notebook.I couldn't writeYou're close to Saitou, right?During lunch, I went to her classroom.The smile she showed Yokoi had never once shown up during our time together.I didn't get enough sleep that night, and I went to school looking terrible.Like always, you look cool today.Hand her the notebook...Anyway... here.Ah, Saitou, here...I see...AhAnd it would be wrong to do that to Yokoi...I...Sorry, but can you tell her that I'll be late to cram school today?What? Mikasa, you're pretty funny.Library committeeI told him to tell you himself, but...HahaYou can't?Since she would leave right away after school,No...? No, that's all.Ummm, I... Umm... I also wanted to talk to you about that.It was like what I wanted to tell her vanished,And none of the words came out.Don't thinkIn the classroom, for some reason,Are you ok with me talking to Saitou?? Huh...?Ahhh...Anyway, I have to...Said that he's going to be late to cram school today.Eh...A-Ok, form groups of 2 or 3.OhSaitou-san, someone's calling you!Ah, the notebook...W-We shouldn't continue it, like we had been before...Ding dong ding dongFinally.I think both you and I will be busy with studying......I couldn't write anything.That studyingI told her.More importantly, I told you to tell her yourself.No, Saitou-san rejected me.And so lately, they haven't been talking that much.Ding dong ding dongU-Umm, Yokoi...Yokoi-kun...? Why Yokoi-kun...?...Why would you say that...?I was thinking that...AnI'm sorry.Ding dong...Class is over, but will you be ok with a blank paper?To Saitou...Lunch is almost over.No, even if I told her,It's nothing.Do you seriously, ah...Why is she making that face?Ding dongAnd I couldn't really hear it.Yokoi came to pick a fight with me.Did you tell her?Are so close, so, you know, aren't you, that...Is more important than you...It looked like she was saying something,Try to summarize the differences between your points of view.What?She said it was someone who was in the same class as her in elementary school.It's terrible.That's what she said.The notebook...!But it was drowned out by the bell,B-Because you and SaitouThat was blaming the insensitive me.AhI don't want this to end.Don't laugh...!Scribble scribbleMikasa! Shut up! Take this seriously!Shouldn't someone like me just stay silent for the rest of their life?Even though you're cool, you got rejected?But in middle school, the classes were separated.Aren't you and Saitou going out?I, I see... Saitou... has someone she likes...I want to help Saitou too.Her words,Like always, were quiet and courteous, just like her voice.Should I try to say something good?Umm, I saw the notebook...Well, but maybe she only just left school.It seemed like Saitou-san has someone she likes....You were rejected...?But that was a long time ago. Now we just talk normally.Even if he says that,Even though we had always been talking since elementary school,Mikasa-kun, I don't know if you think this, but...It's ok... I'm fine.Don't worry about it.Saitou said she had someone she likes.And even though they're finally both committee members...But...And you're an idiot.I'm sorry about lots of things... I mean...Umm, it's about to start, so I have to go.No, wait.Before I could write my response, the notebook... ended.Thank you for reading ""Exchange" Notebooks Don't Talk". Normally, when you think of how love stories are nice, you think of exchange notebooks. Your memory stops after going back so many years... When I think about that, I shudder. The 2 of them made this notebook, but obviously only 1 person was writing the letters. If you realized this, please don't say anything.And so she discussed those things with me alot. Well, I was sworn to secrecy, but it seems like there's some kind of misunderstanding.Really? You'll really help me?Ah... I wonder if it will be ok... But thank you for telling me this.And so, when I told her that it doesn't seem like Mikasa is going out with anyone,Don't just pick up on that part.I'm sorry... I can't really put it into words...That's right, she did.There wasn't a single letter hereHahLet's get along...Ah...!Mikasa-kun, thank you for the notebook.
You've never handed it to me before without writing anything.
It's a fresh feeling.But...I'm just happy that you read it...She gave a really big smile.What should I do when I see her?I think that I really love you.There wasn't enough space to write half of what I wanted to.But... In the library, we have to be quiet.Because each class can only have 1 library committee member.That's true.I said lots of terrible thingsBut if what Yokoi says is true, if it's true...She said she had cram school.Whenever I see her honest words, I feel at ease.I'm like this, so maybe you didn't know, but I had a lot of fun while on library duty.
And, when you misunderstood and thought I was going out with Yokoi-kun, I was a little shocked.
Yokoi-kun is a good person, and he's really reliable.What should I do once I get to the station?Saitou-san? She already left.I guess you heard from Yokoi-kun.
I'm not very good at speaking, so I wanted to get better at speaking with someone like Yokoi-kun, and discussed lots of things with him.
Of course, I'm still pretty bad at it.When we become 2nd years, I'll do as you say.
I guess I should prioritize something else.
I don't really know, I'm sorry.HahHah Hah...Sai...I couldn't even talk that well to the one I wanted to talk to the most.
So, I'm really happy that I'm able to tell you in writing like this.Even though she always directed her words at me,Saitou-sanThat's enough...Mikasa-kunAnd...I'm sorry too.I one-sidedly and selfishly wanted to continue...Ah, no that's not true.Then, at least take this...In 6th grade, I remember how you were taller than me.
I thought, if I'm always smaller, what will I do?That's unfair, Mikasa-kun....I wrote mine out.Eh... Why?Ah, yeah.I'm sorry about Yokoi.
And I'm glad you handed me back the notebook.
I'm also glad about becoming a library committee member.
And...Yeah, sorry..."Exchange" Notebooks Don't Talk
The EndWell, I'll tell you it now.When we become 2nd years, I hope we're in the same class.And, of course.
There's no more space to write.I hope not.Yeah. And I'll tell you mine too.Mikasa-kunNo no, Yokoi is cool.
