"What do you do when you start to like someone who leaves in a month?"

"Leaves where?" I asked.

"Back to her hometown in Japan. It always happens to me. That's the thing about starting to like international students. It's hard because eventually their visa runs out and they have to go back before you know it."

"It's sort of like a fling then."

"Yeah... it's sad. When you start to have feelings for her when she has to go back. Last year too, I introduced myself to a girl the day before she graduated. I didn't even know. But I liked her."

"I guess you have a thing for second-semester seniors," I gave off a light laugh.

"It is, but I guess that's what life is all about."
