Yes, we got completely fed up with each other and split up. Before I knew it, I was here.
Saki
(They came here to have fun, but they're both all alone now after their argument. That's so sad...)
Female High Schooler A
Also, thinking back on what happened, our argument really began over something tiny. We basically fought over nothing...
Female High Schooler A
So, when we met up earlier, she told me that she forgot to have breakfast.
Female High Schooler A
Then, I responded, “You stayed up all night again, didn't you? You gotta get plenty of sleep and eat right.” And then she got mad at me...
Female High Schooler A
Yes, I am bothered by these sorts of little things, but she's also a bit of a mess, you know?
Female High Schooler A
I'll point that out, and we end up in an argument like we did earlier.
Saki
You see, we're also childhood friends.
And we argued all the time when we were little.

Shiho
Neither of us would budge in the beginning, but we usually realized how silly we were being.
Saki
Hehe. Before we knew it, we'd completely forget about whatever argument we were having.
Saki
That's because it always hurt really bad when we were fighting. And not getting to play with you always made me so sad...
Female High Schooler A
My friend is usually the one who takes the first step in patching things up...
Female High Schooler A
She'll share fun videos with me or invite me out somewhere. We'll talk and laugh, and go back to being friends like nothing had happened.
Shiho
I've never really thought about us like this before, but it really isn't common for people with completely different personalities to stay friends for years and years.
Female High Schooler A
That's a good point...
A part of me just figured that we'd never be rid of each other.

Female High Schooler A
But maybe the real reason we've stuck together all this time is because she makes a real effort to stay with me...

But we were able to get our band back together and become friends again.)

(But we're able to stay together like this now because they're all doing their best to make sure we don't get scattered to the wind again.)
Saki
But it really makes you want to say, “Thank you!” to the people who try so hard to stay by your side, huh?
Female High Schooler A
Thank you very much!
Then, if it's alright, I think I'd like to make my friend a message card.

Oh, no. I'm okay.
I was just thinking that my friend would really enjoy this event.

Female High Schooler B
Yeah. We came to grab some donuts here, since we heard that they're pretty good.
Female High Schooler B
I mean, she's just so nit-picky.
“You need to eat a proper breakfast”, or “your skirt's too short, fix it”, that kind of thing...

So I said, “What are you, my mom?” After that, things got really out of hand.

So, I also have a friend in class who's always telling me not to run in the corridor because it's dangerous, and how I'm going to catch a cold if I don't dress warmer...
Emu
Hehe. Because her saying that means she doesn't want me to trip and get hurt, or feel gross after picking up a nasty cold.
Female High Schooler B
And you're right.
When she said what she did, I got really irritated...

In hindsight...
I feel like I should show her at least some appreciation.

You could give it to her with the donuts...
I bet you two will be smiling like peas in a pod afterwards!

I'm not sure I can make her a good card...
Could you help me with that?

Female High Schooler B
Oh, I should see if she'll agree to meet up again later. Let's see... <Can we talk again today one more time?>
