*Cry* (Ao Haru Ride)

~Chapter 5~

( Third Person's POV )

"T-touma..... why is there...?" Haruhiko asked. "W-wait! It's not what you're thinking!" Touma said as he blushed.

"Why is Miyamoto Hikari-san is in your house?!" Haruhiko asked. "Wait, you know her?" Touma asked and a little bit surprised. "Well, most of the students know her! Don't tell me you didn't know her?" Haruhiko asked.

"Actually, no." Touma replied. "What?! She's so popular! And cute! That's why I'm surprise that you have her here.. but.... why is she here?" Haruhiko said. "I'll explain this at the living room" I said as we walk in the living room.

( Hikari's POV )

"What?! She's so popular! And cute! That's why I'm surprised that you have her here.. but....why is she here?" I heard a man's voice that kinda wake me up. It's really loud. I tried to open my eyes and I saw a two person. The first one has a blonde hair and the other one has a black hair.

When I was about to get up, they already left and I suddenly felt a headache. But I forced myself to stand.

I finally realized that I was in an unknown room. 'Wait, where am I? Did they kidnap me?' I thought as I started to panic. 'No way, the last time I remembered, I was walking home, and I stopped at a shrine, and then....and then........ what happened next?!' I thought as I quickly open the door to this room and came out to find someone in the house.

When I reached the living room, I saw them, sitting. "W-where, am I?" I asked, a little bit scared. "Oh you're awake! How are you feeling, Miyamoto-san?" The black haired boy asked me. "H-how did you know my name?" I asked again.

"Wait, first of all, your in Touma-chan's house. And, I probably know you because you're popular to our school.." the black haired man said.
"W-who are you?" I stuttered.

"I'm Uchimiya Haruhiko, and this one is-" "Kikuchi Touma...." the blonde interrupted the black haired guy.

"U-uhm, n-nice to meet you, I-i'm Miyamoto Hikari...." I said and bowed.

There's a short moment of silence when I finally broke it. "Uhm, can I ask, what am I doing here? You didn't do anything, right?" I asked. "Why don't you sit first, and don't be afraid of us! We're schoolmates after all!" The black haired man said. I do what he said and take a seat.

"Actually, I'm the one who bring you here. I saw you at the shrine when I'm passing by, and I heard you crying very hard.......and then, when you stand up. You collapse, and I caught you..." Kikuchi-san said. "Oh, uhm.... thank you for helping me... I feel better now..." I quietly said and bow.

"You don't need to bow!" They both said as they wave their hands to both sides. "But, can I ask you something?" Kikuchi-san said, a little bit concerned. "Sure, what is it?" I asked.

"Uhm, why are you crying very hard when I saw you at the shrine?" He asked and my eyes darkened. "Oh! You don't have to tell us if you don't want to!" Uchimiya-san said. "It's because of the one I love the most....." I quietly said as I look down.

I felt like I'm gonna cry again,when Kikuchi-san spoke. "Why are you so desperate to love someone who already hurt you?" He asked as I look at him in shock.

"I mean, why don't you just give up and move on? Maybe you can find another person who can make you feel special, and won't make you cry." He said with a serious tone.

Ringggg! Riiingggg!!

"Oops, I'm sorry! That's my phone! I think my mom is calling so, I need to go now, bye Touma, bye Miyamoto-san!" Uchimiya-san said as he left the room.

"Uhm... actually, I don't know if there's still someone who can love me, other than him. And someone who I can love, other than him...." I said as I look down again. "I know that there's still someone who is waiting for you, other than him..." he said with a smile.

I look at him and also smiled. "Thank you............." I said. And I suddenly saw him blushed.

"Oh, I think I really need to go home now, Thank you Kikuchi-kun. You really make me feel relieved." I said as I stand up. He also stands up and, "Wait, let me bring you home. Its already dark outside so let me guide you." he said and went home with me.

Time skipped... (morning)

'Wow, you know, after getting some sleep, I feel more relaxed.....' I thought as I put on my uniform.

"Is it because of Kikuchi-kun?" I whispered to myself and looked at the mirror.

'........I wonder why Tanaka-kun came back..........he disappeared and appeared again, without saying the reason.' I thought again and went out of the house.

As I got inside the school, I went to our classroom, but as I walk, I saw Kikuchi-kun and his friends.

"Oh! Ohayo, Miyamoto-san!" He said cheerfully and walk towards me.

"Ohayo, Kikuchi-kun.." I said quietly with a smile.

"You're going to your classroom?" He asked while I nodded.

"Let's hangout later,okay?" He said with a smile and they went away.

"Hangout?......" I asked to myself quietly and walk in the classroom, to be greeted by Yuuri-san and Shuuko-san.

"Ohayo, Hikari-san!" Yuuri-san greeted with a smile while I also replied and went to my seat.

"oh, Ohayo...." I quietly said.

"Is everything alright?" Yuuri-san asked. But I just shook my head.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

When the class is over, I quickly went out of the room. But I heard someone called my name so I stop.

"Miyamoto-san! Are you alright?" Wait, that voice.... what does he want?

"What do you want?" I said cruelly and turned my face to him.

"Makita-san and Murao-san said that you're not feeling well..." Tanaka-kun said as he look away.

"Gomen. But its not your business. I should going now, ja ne!" I said as I run away. Why does he care? Its not like he really DO care for me.

As I finally walk outside the building, I saw Kikuchi-kun standing infront of the gates, waiting for someone. I walk towards him and talk.

"Kikuchi-kun...are you waiting for someone?" I asked quietly.

"Yes. I was actually waiting for you.." He replied and smiled warmly. My cheeks feel warm when I saw him smile. What's going on with me?
