That meticulously kept notebook seemed to hold the secrets of a girl. Now those secrets had come to light. It was as if they had finally found a place to belong, the warm words on the page conveying everything she had wanted to say.
The truth was out.

I think I've fallen for someone. He's tall and thin, and his eyes are so pretty. He seems really popular.

I think he likes someone. That girl is pretty, too. Will he try to win her over?

I ran into him again today. We were so close, just one millimeter apart!!!
2018.02.13
Today was the first time I saw him since school started.
2018.03.22
So annoying. I saw him laughing and chatting with another girl.
2018.04.16
He suddenly showed up by my classroom window today. He even looked inside, and we made eye contact!!!!
2018.06.22
The holidays are coming again. I don't want them to. I won't get to see him.
2018.07.19
I found a song he posted on an app. I saved it and listened to it over and over.
2018.09.01
I saw him today. He's just like before, but I think he's grown a little taller. He's more than a head taller than me now, hahaha.
2018.09.18
It's his birthday today. I gave him a pen. I wonder if he'll like it. Maybe he won't know it was from me.
2018.12.06
I get to see him every day lately!
2019.09.01
I hardly ever see him now.
2019.10.22
I saw his midterm results. He's first in the whole grade. He's getting better and better, and the distance between us keeps growing...
2020.01.11
I gave him a bouquet of white hyacinths. I wonder if he noticed. I wrote something in there, too. Maybe he threw it away.
2020.01.22
I'm transferring schools.
2020.01.28
My last day at this school. This place is full of so many memories. How am I supposed to erase them? The weather was bright and clear that day, as ordinary as any other. Goodbye, J.
2020.02.11
I'm settling in pretty well at my new school. I just can't see him anymore.
2020.05.05
I saw someone at school today who looked so much like him. But he still wasn't him.
2020.09.01
I came first in the back-to-school exams again. I wonder if he's still number one.
2020.09.18
Happy birthday.
2021.09.01
I went to register today and saw a familiar-looking figure from behind. What a strange feeling.
2021.10.22
The monthly exam results surprised me: Jiang Xun came first.
That familiar name again. Damn it.
Theme: The hyacinth symbolizes that by lighting the fire of life, we can share in life's abundance. Hyacinths also symbolize victory, competition, and pride.
Haha... I'm here, come on, my friend.
