"I... like you!"
A gust of wind blows by.
"What? Sorry I didn't hea-"
The scene abruptly comes to a stop.
'UGH! WHAT IS THIS BS'
I clench the phone in my hands. Quickly checking the time, '10:30PM Thur Nov. 8 2028' I realized it was late.
'This is why I never liked romcoms'
All these cliches and tropes were pissing me off. The thing I was watching is called 'life of a childhood friend', it was trending on crunchyroll, so naturally I tried it. Its absolute ass, the cliches are too generic, the plot is predictable, its like all the other romcoms I've watched. I dont know why I keep watching them, maybe Im a masochist who just likes to watch the most bottom of the barrel anime.
I wear my earphones and start listening to music while staring at the ceiling of my roof. I space out and before I knew it, I was already sleeping.
The next day, I woke up.
"Ugh... seems like I slept unintentionally."
I check the time and it's 7:30 AM.
"AHH IM LATE"
I immediately rush to do my morning routine, wondering why my alarm didn't ring. As I start to pack up, I check my phone again, and... it was a Sunday.
I breathe a sigh of relief, but still a little frustrated by the fact that I rushed my morning routine all for nothing.
'Since I was preparing to go outside, I suppose I'll just take a stroll.'
I head outside, walking through the busy streets, but there are some buildings I dont recognize.
'Were those buildings there before?'
I couldn't point my finger on it but I have seen those buildings. But I know they weren't here before. I've walked past this street multiple times before, I know this town from the inside out. Then something clicked.
'Wasn't yesterday... Thursday?' Did I sleep for 2 whole day?
I check my phone again, '8:20AM, Sun Jan.8 2029'
"...that was a stupid assumption" I mumble. Anyway a few more I can tick off is that I was in a coma. After all, I slept and woke up on my bed. Then I see, in the corner of my eye... a male with black messy hair, walking with a beautiful blonde female into a café that was originally never there. I slowly start to realize...
I transmigrated to the world of 'life of a childhood friend'. The male's name is Yui, he doesnt have a last name as his parents abandoned him when he was just born, then the female beside him is Carla White, the ordinary rich foreigner you see on romcoms who is also the main love interest. The premise of the story is obvious, Yui is Carla's childhood friend, Carla moved out of the country due to circumstances which I DO NOT KNOW AS I HADNT EVEN COMPLETED THE ANIME YET. But anyway, yada yada yada, Carla came back to the country during HS and they had made a promise during their childhood, all the generic stuff you commonly see in romcoms. Of course there is the second childhood friend, her name is Yuki Suzuki. She's tall, and has an elegant aura. Quite different from the usual cute losing heroine. To be honest, she would have been the main heroine if Carla was never in the story.
I was staring at them for a bit, due to that, I was noticed. Flustered by that fact, I quickly turn away, and as I turn away, I saw a slight reflection of myself on a window of a shop that was on my side. My face... it was like a blank canvas. I had no facial features.
