Shattered Glass Rebuilt Again

February 14 20XX: SQUARE ONE

Rien's POV-
Teacher:"Alright, almost done finalizing the transfer. Just one last thing. We need to figure out what class to put you in. Both of the 9th grade class are even now, since someone transferred here last month."
I jolted up at that. There are only two other people that could really have transferred here so late in the year and passed the admission test. And they probably came for the same reason as me.

Flashback-
Roden: "I'm serious about this. I am going to transfer there. Even if you stay at that little private school of yours, far away from HER, it'll only make things easier for me."
Rien: "I never said I wanted to go to a private school. I want to be with her just as much as you do, maybe more. But what am I supposed to do? It's been YEARS since any of us have talked, or even seen her, with the exception of Michael that is. And do you even know how long it would take to transfer into a prestigious high school like the one she is going to? 3rd best school in the entire COUNTRY! 279rd in the world! We don't even know if we even have the possibility of getting into a school like that."
Roden: "Well we brought this on ourselves for falling for a genius. Luckily, I have a bit of a head start." (Holds up transfer papers) "I'm gonna be getting the results from the admission test next week. If I pass I'll start school after winter break. Just decide. Are you going to do something or just give up on her. Either way, I'm not going to give up. And we're running out of time, too. It's only a matter of time before Michael realizes the same thing we have. That we all love Emma and can't stand being without her. I bet that he will transfer there, too, before the end of the year. So make your choice, Rien."
(End of Flashback)
Teacher: "So, do you have any preference on which class you want to be in? These are the schedules"
As I went to look at the schedules, I saw someone enter the lobby to exit the school. Someone familiar that I could recognize anywhere.
Rien: "EMMA...!"
Teacher: "Do you know her?"
I watched her walk out the door without even noticing me.
Rien: "Yeah. We were in elementary school together."
Teacher: "Would it be easier if the two of you were in the same class."
Rien: "YES!"

Emma's POV-
Today's the day. I've been waiting for this for two months. I'm finally going to do it. I look at the clock on my phone. 4:15. Orchestra ended later than usual today. I need to get there quick. I have the note in my pocket. I'm just going to stick it to the front gate of his house and run. I have much time. going to finally end it today.
This 5 year long crush has gone way too long. I wrote a love note to Rien about a month before. The note isn't as much of a love note as is a letter saying goodbye to him for good. I need to move on before it's too late.
As I race down the stairs and enter the lobby of the school building, I catch a glimpse of a familiar person standing front of the main desk. I can't really remember who it could be.
I speed out of the lobby, listening to my favorite song by MiCO with Haniwa.
By the time I get to the front of Rien's house, it is 4:25 and I'm super nervous. I just put the note by his door and leave right way. Just as planned right?
There was someone just a few feet away. Did they see me?
I run across the street so fast that I barely notice the red light or the car zooming right towards me. I make it across just in time.
Safely in the comfort of my own home, the anxiety of what I had just done took hold of me. In my room, I sat there wondering:
What now?

Rien's POV-
As I was walking home I thought about what I would do tomorrow. I was going to go to an elite school, and I was going to see Emma again, after so long.
When I reached my house, it was around 4:25. I saw someone running away from my house. What's going on?
As I walk to my door I spotted a small envelope. I picked it up and went inside.
When I opened it, I found it was a love note. Signed Black Cat.
Emma.
A small smile spread across my face. She felt the same way I did. But that smile soon disappeared. I had lost her again. I would just have to start over from square one. There was no way I was going to just give up on her after all this. I understand why she would give up on me though. I'm hopeless.
Tomorrow.
I'll be able to see her again tomorrow.

Emma and Rien: "I'll just have to start over from square one."
