MEI POV

- Should I wake her up? she will miss the exam... well in her state now I don't think she can properly take the exam, she doesn't even study for it... I feel so powerless... better let her rest, I'll just inform the teachers she's sick or something... (sigh)

---

YUZU POV

- I wonder... why did I buy these rings...

---

At the Aihara Academy...

MEI POV

- She's not yet in... I hope she's fine, I already informed our teachers... Please be well Yuzu.. I'll come home as soon as I can later...

---

Before Yuzu enters their classroom, Harumi ambushed her with a worried face. Yuzu just excused herself and kept silent.

YUZU POV

- Sorry Harumi.. I can't talk about anything else right now...

MEI POV

- Yuzu!... she's still a mess.. a very beautiful mess (gulp)... this is not the time Mei... (sigh) should I call her to the Chairman's office... no... I must let her be at the moment.. I'll wait for now... it should be at her own pace, I have the feeling that the matter at hand is too delicate for her to be in this kind of state... but I really miss the very cheerful Yuzu... my idiot Yuzu... I can't wait to see those smile in your sweet emerald eyes again... please come back to me... my love..

YUZU POV

- Mei, don't look at me like that...

After class, Yuzu went to the faculty to ask her teacher if she could take the exams for another day.

MEI POV

- Yuzu where are you going? please... speak with me... I can't stand seeing you in pain... please Yuzu...

While walking along the corridors...

YUZU POV

- Now that I think about it, didn't I say something like I was in love or came out in front of everyone... No.. what is this... it feels like everyone is talking about me... I can't breathe...

---

MEI POV

- I think I'll just past the time in the library... I still need to study though... I hope Yuzu is okay wherever she is right now... I hope she already taken her lunch..

---

Yuzu feeling lost and suffocating found herself at the rooftop drowning in sorrow and pain...

YUZU POV

- (sigh) its no use.. I don't want to see anyone today... I've admired love for so long... but the love I found... I didn't realize a love that can't be acknowledged, would be this lonely and painful... How long can I keep on loving like this?

Meanwhile at the library...
