You couldn't help but notice how happier Natsuhiko was when he's with Sakura.

*

You were sitting on one of the seats in the empty classroom beside your actual classroom. It was a free period. You decided you didn't want to spend your free time with your good-for-nothing classmates and left after the announcement.

Then you saw someone you knew walk by. It was only a glimpse, but you were certain it was him. Natsuhiko...

You shake your head. You should stop acting like you knew him or that you had any care about him. You were hellbent on forgetting him, but seeing him every day with her just isn't helping.

It's always that green-haired girl he's with. She's gorgeous, but you just couldn't help yourself but compare her to you... You knew you were going to lose, yet you still did. Huh. Natsuhiko was making you foolish, but you've always known that.

You wanted to talk to him, but what for? He already seemed happier with her, even though it has only been weeks after you left. You knew it was your fault for leaving, but it was also his fault for not even bothering to go after you.

Before meeting up with him, you weren't even sure about leaving. You didn't want to break up with him, but you felt unloved. It was as if he was just with you for the sake of it, so you communicated with him, but he didn't understand. So you did what you thought was the best thing for the both of you; you left.

Turns out it was only going to turn out good for him. You were left in the shadows without anyone, but now he's with someone new. And he looked really happy and contented with her. He never stared at you like he does with her. He never smiled as wide as he's doing now.

Love does suck. Your idiotic classmates were right.

You hear the bell ring and that was your cue to go back to your classroom, it seemed as if most of the students had the same idea as you as the corridors were filled with students hurrying up to their classrooms.

You open the door carefully, not wanting to hit anyone. You were able to go out of the door, but someone accidentally pushed you and you fell on the floor. You curse out whoever that was and proceeded to stand up on your own. In the process, you managed to bump into someone. You looked up to apologize, but gray eyes met your gaze and the cat got your tongue.

"(Y/N)- (L/N)-san, sorry," Natsuhiko apologizes and quickly leaves. You wanted to hit him so much. How dare he manage to make you feel special still? How long was he planning to keep you in the palm of his hands? He just called out your name and yet...

You just sigh and blinked the tears away. You return to your classroom. You also return to the old life you had before Natsuhiko entered.

You wanted to apologize badly, to beg him to take you back, but what for? You've already made your decision.

But maybe, just maybe, when Sakura (you've always known what her name was, you just hated how much it suited her) breaks his heart, you could go to his side and maybe comfort him. Then maybe he'll finally acknowledge how much you loved him. Maybe he'll finally stop making you feel like an option.

You blink. What were you thinking? You were just scolding yourself a while ago for even acknowledging his presence, now you're even thinking of volunteering as a rebound when the new girl breaks his heart. You wanted to scream in frustration, but you were inside the classroom.

You decided to listen to the teacher instead to try to take your mind off Natsuhiko.

"You're never going to leave, right?" You say while laying on Natsuhiko's lap. You two were at the park as you suggested a budget-friendly date to him.

"Of course, you make me happy, (Y/N). I wouldn't risk my happiness like that." He says and you smile, content with his answer.

"Thank you," You say and sit up to kiss him on the cheek.

"For what?"

"For making me the happiest."

"(L/N)-san,"

"(L/N)-san!"

You hear your name being called out and you hastily stand up, hitting the desk with your thigh making you wince in pain. You look to your right to see who was calling you. To your surprise, it was Natsuhiko. Huh... The guy you were daydreaming about brings you back to reality. How ironic.

You walk towards him hesitantly, just wanting to get this over with.

"What?" You ask him coldly without bothering to stare into his eyes. You didn't want anything to do with him after all.

"I- I'm here to apologize for not going after you before. My pride got the best of me and I... I'm sorry it took a month for me to realize that you made me the happiest, too."

Your eyes widen in surprise at his sudden confession, making you look at his face. His eyes were filled with sincere and you realize you're both staring to each other's eyes, making you look away.

"What? What do you mean? I saw you with Sakura and I'm certain you're happier with her."

"No, you don't understand-" His sentence gets cut off by Sakura approaching him.

She seemed like she was going to say something important until she saw that you were the one Natsuhiko was talking to. She walked away instead, not wanting to disturb the both of you.

However, you took that the wrong way and ran away from Natsuhiko.

Again.
