"I saw Sawako crying."

I wanted to break at those words.

"Why are you doing this to her?" Keiji asks me.

I have to do this. I don't want Hina to ruin life and with all her power. Her parents own half of the schools in Japan. Who knows what would happen if I disagreed with her plan?

"I already told you." He shrugs. "It's easy to say but when you really see how it's affecting her...it's just hard to look at." He explains.

He's right. But it's out of love I'm doing this.

"It hurts me too, Keiji." I say. He nods. "Yeah, but that's just love. You know, me and Ayane had our fair sure of obstacles!"

Love...could what I have for her bigger than a crush? It must be if I'm doing all this for her.

It all started when I saw her at that date. I couldn't take my eyes off her. It really was love at first sight.

Hina comes up and ends our conversation.

"What are you losers talking about?" She says with the warmest smile on her face. That's what I hate about her.

She's acting all cute and nice as if she's not ruining my life with her mere presence.

"None of your business." Keiji says. She rolls her eyes and hugs me.

When she touches me it disgusts me. I hold her back even though I don't want to.

~~~~~~~~~~~
Today exhausted me. Hanging with someone you don't like is harder than it looks. How long will I have to this?

"Bye hun!" She says and leaves. I take a deep breath, the devil is finally gone.

I walk home alone. I really wish I could be with Sawako right now.

As I arrive home I head to my room and lay my bag on the floor.

I look at my phone and decide to study a bit.
While I'm doing my homework I start to wonder why Hina suddenly came out of the blue with all this.

Everything was fine till she showed her face, that's when things started going down hill. I don't even know what to think.

What was the reason...
I open my laptop to search up a word I didn't understand and I end up seeing news about an election that was going on.

It was happening at some prestigious school. The name sounded familiar too. It was pretty popular judging by the fact it had it was showing up on my laptop.

I clicked on a video because someone I saw there looked familiar.

Once I looked a little closer I realized who it was.

"Layan..?" I mutter to myself.

That was the girl Hina got expelled...
Well, I'm glad she's doing good.

I stop distracting myself and search up the difficult word.

I was studying so hard I was falling asleep. My head laid on my desk wasn't so uncomfortable as I thought I would be and I dozed off.

"What do you mean?"
...
"I like you too...we can be best friends"
...
"Just a classmate."

"Ah!" I get up abruptly. "Oh...it's just my phone." I yawn.

I try to remember what I was dreaming about and Sawako pops into my head.

"I saw Sawako crying."

I hate doing this to her.
I hate seeing her crying, even worse if it's because of me.

I feel so distant from her. It's like she's untouchable. Everything she does and says makes me want to be with her even more.

I miss talking to her, laughing with her, holding her hand, hugging her hand, and consoling her when she feels down. I miss being that person who could've been more than Sawako's friend.

I hate what love does. To me in general. Maybe if I hadn't met her then I wouldn't feel this way.

Maybe if I hadn't met her the. Things would be better than they are now.

Then again, meeting her made me happier than ever. She lights up my world with a simple smile.

Even if, she's unreachable...I have to get her. I have to be with her.

I don't care anymore. I don't care about Hina, or Kazehaya. I care about being with her right now. More than anything else.

I need to hold her hand one more time. To speak to her one more time. To see her one more time.

Before even thinking I rush to my doorstep and put on my shoes.

Before it's too late. I thought to myself.

I started running like a crazy person.
I don't care how tired I get.

I need to reach her.
