"Sumire," I sighed, "Tell me exactly what happened."
We readjusted ourselves so Ren was sitting across the table to us and Sumire and I were seated next to her. She hung her head on my shoulder, her endless tears soaking the sleeve of my uniform. It was cold as it drenched the fabric and pressed against my skin, but I didn't care.
Sumire liked Hinata so much. Seeing something like this must have been heartbreaking for her. I wanted to be her friend and be there to help.
Well...with Ren's input, too, I supposed.
Sumire sniffed and wiped at the stream running down her cheeks. Taking a shaky breath, she collected her thoughts and started to speak.
"He...I...I wasn't feeling well, so I headed outside to the school yard...you know where that bench is under one of the Sakura trees?"
Ren and I looked at each other and nodded.
"Well...I saw him with another girl and the next thing I know, I'm hiding behind a bush...."
"Do you know who the girl was?"
Sumire sighed, "She has 3rd period with me. She's always talking to her friends about how cute she thinks he is..."
"Hmm..."
"They were talking, and...she told him something and he looked at her really strangely. Then she..she leaned forward and kissed him just like that!" Sumire collapsed dramatically on the table and I shook my head.
"Sumire, she kissed him! That doesn't mean they're together or that he has feelings for her, or anything."
"I wouldn't feel relieved about it...he might like her after such a kiss...and he didn't push her away, either!"
"What do you mean he didn't push her away?"
"He just stood there!"
"Then what?!"
"She turned and ran off smiling ..."
"Wh...what an asshole....so many girls like you have crushes on him, and he goes and let's one kiss him like it won't effect anyone.."
"Whoa, whoa whoa, wait..." Ren stands up, his chair flying back. He wore a deep frown on his face, eyes squinting the way they did when he was going to say something stupid.
"Sumire likes Hinata?! Since when?!"
Instead of responding, I rolled my eyes and stood up, heading for the door. Sumire stood up after me, looking worried.
"What are you going to do, Ayame?"
"Confront him, of course!" I reach for the door handle, narrowing my eyes. "I mean...who does he think he is? He can't just play with girls like that!"
