I adjusted the yukata that Bokuto made me borrow from Yuki and held onto Bokuto's arm as we walked around the festival with the others. I still wasn't able to walk properly and Bokuto wasn't helping with how fast his strides were.

"Yo bro," Kuroo called out for Bokuto, waving him over to show him something. Bokuto excitedly left my side, to my dismay, and threw himself onto Kuroo.

I rolled my eyes and scanned my surroundings until my eyes landed on a tall blond who smiled down at Yuki while she talked away about something I couldn't overhear. I'm kind of jealous of my younger sister and how positive she is. She didn't let what Yami and his friends did to her stop her from living her life to the fullest. He then offered his arm to her to which she frowned and reached for his hand instead causing him to lightly blush.

"Hey," Kenma said, suddenly appearing next to me which made me jump in surprise. "Do you want one?" He held up a candy apple.

"Aw thank you, Kenma," I smiled and gently took it from him. "How considerate of you."

"Don't go telling Kuro that," he replied with a small smile.

"Your sunburn looks better." I pinched his cheek softly.

He frowned and took a bite out of his treat. "Thank you."

"You're very welcomeee!" I took out my phone and took a couple of pictures of him.

"What're you doing?" He asked, peaking over my shoulder as I looked at the pictures. "Do they look bad?"

I threw my arms around him and said, "You look so handsome!! Aw cauu-teeeee Kenma baby!" I pressed my cheek against his, swaying us side to side. "You have my whole heart!"

"What're you talking about..." He mumbled, letting me hug him. His cheek was hot from his blushing and I couldn't help but gush more. "I'm going to see what Akaashi is doing..." He mumbled embarrassed as he slipped out of my arms.

I pouted. "I see how it is."

"You're embarrassing me!" He exclaimed, covering his face as he rushed off.

It's been a few hours since we arrived at the festival and I was leaning against the railing, looking through the pictures I took today. It's been a few minutes since I was left alone when Clarke walked up beside me.

"You're finally alone."

I straightened up when I heard his voice and glanced at his direction from the corner of my eye. Just great. I thought to myself. "You're still here?"

"Obviously."

"And you followed me here," I said, adjusting myself. I looked around, trying to find any of the guys nearby. I saw Tsukishima, Akaashi, and Yuki standing by a booth nearby but not close enough for me to call them.

"Don't bother, they're all doing something. I made sure of it before coming to you," he commented when he realized what I was doing. 

I sighed and turned to face him. "What do you want, Clarke?"

"I want you back."

I shook my head. "No. I'm not going back to America and I'm sure as hell not going back to you." I have a life here now and I'm not just going to drop everything to return to my old life, especially for an asshole like him. 

"No?" He responded. He looked like he was getting frustrated by the second. "And why the hell not?"

"Because you hurt me. You went behind my back and cheated on me with my best friend. You robbed me from my happiness, Clarke," I said, slamming my fist against the railing. "Do you understand? How hurt I was? How hurt I am?" I tried to clear my voice of any emotions, but anyone listening could still hear the hurt in my voice. It was still fresh in my mind and I kept myself busy so I wouldn't have to think about it, but I couldn't avoid it anymore seeing him here in front of me.
