He really couldn’t believe he had his best friend back. They were even in the same year thanks to him transferring. Jasper’s mind stayed stuck on daydreams of what things would be like if Jasper and Akihito had a happy reunion. In gym class, he made a decent amount of “accidents” happen. When he could, he made sure to hit the bully with the ball. After gym Jasper made sure to shower very quickly as his mother, Lilith, was going to show up at the garden club with the supplies. He ran to the greenhouse, but smiled when he saw his mom. She was so much shorter than him and just reached the middle of his chest.
“How was your day sweetie?” she asked. He smiled and shrugged. Jasper’s eyes wandered to the supplies against the greenhouse.
“I am good, and you? How is grandmother?” he asked. He resisted the urge to look around for Akihito. He wondered if he’d recognize his mother. She did look different as her waist length hair was now short, boyish. Also, she didn’t wear makeup anymore like back in the day.
“I am tired, but okay. Grandmother is as good as she can be,” she paused to ruffle his hair. “I have to go soon though, so let’s get this stuff inside.” Jasper rolled his eyes and smiled. He then proceeded to help her bring everything into the greenhouse. They did everything rather quickly. He hugged her once more and kissed her cheek before he let her go.
"See you for dinner," she yelled as she ran off. Jasper smiled a bit. His mother was so much busier now. Jasper was surprised that he missed her company so much. In America they had spent much more time together. It was really like he was alone here. The thoughts of loneliness annoyed him as he felt these thoughts only started yesterday. Jasper pushed his thoughts away before he began to fill a pot with soil.
