**Nene's POV**

Today's the day I'm going to be nice to Amane-kun. I was paying attention to class, even though there was nothing really going on. The professor went on about how the assignment we have to agree on the urban legend and work together to make a worthy paper about each opinions of not believing and believing. I found that personally boring, but this would be the best class most likely. I'm really challenging myself, hopefully it goes well because I don't want Amane-kun (which I still hate having to both think and say that) to see right through me. I still want to call him Yugi-san, I'll probably get back to that anyways. We aren't really even friends, he's just helping me out.

"Does everyone have that clear?" The professor asked.

I looked up and nodded with the rest of the class. I really think everyone wasn't paying attention, he explained the same thing yesterday but briefly. It's good to review, but not explaining a project for an hour. Lunch will at least cool me off, and apologizing to Yugi-san first. I don't care, but it's the right thing to do.

"You're alright to leave now, class." The professor waved.

I got up and walked slowly, but swiftly at the same time to Yugi-san.

"Yugi-san!" I panted.

"Nene-san?" Yugi-san looked at me.

"I'm sorry for yesterday. A girl named Sakura was talking to me, she told me to stop talking to you. Do you forgive me?" I asked, keeping it cool.

Yugi-san chuckled then grabbed my shoulders, "Of course I forgive you! Also, what did I say to call me?~" He smiled from ear to ear.

I almost grinned, luckily I didn't. I would've hurt myself if I did, honestly. I'm happy Yugi-san and I are good, but I shouldn't be. I still believe he's not a good person. His emotions most of the time is trying to make others happy. I still am mad about it, but I shouldn't talk about that.

"Want to sit with me and my friends, you can invite Ao-san as well." Yugi-san invited me.

"Oh, thanks! I'll go I guess." I said kindly.

I hate this whole 'kindness' thing. It's weird and I bet a lot of people are staring. I looked around, they weren't luckily. Yugi-san looked a little suspicious, but then smiled as soon as I noticed.

"Well, come on! Ao-san will be on the way I'd hope!" Yugi-san beamed.

"Okay." I said, hiding my joy that Ao-chan will be there.

I saw the lavender-haired girl, luckily alone.

"Ao-chan!" I waved, stopping, Yugi-san did as well.

"Nene-chan? Is that Amane Yugi-san?" Ao-chan asked me.

"Yeah, he said that you could eat lunch with us and his other friends." I explained briefly.

Ao-chan gave a warm smile, I completely understood. She was happy me and Yugi-san were talking and that I was fulfilling my self-promise. I smiled back, leaving Yugi-san confused.

"Well, I'll go!" Ao-chan talked to me and Yugi-san was texting his friends, probably that us two were going.

We got to the table, I recognized the two boys. They were college first-years. I toured them around the area on the first day when they came, I'm guessing they met Yugi-san as well at some point. They look like long-time friends. Maybe they met earlier?

"Nene-san?" The blonde hair boy asked, Minamoto-san.

"Daikon-san?" Said the pink-haired boy, Sousuke-san.

"Hello, Sousuke-san, hello Minamoto-san." I waved.

"You know them?!" Ao-chan and Yugi-san both asked together.

"Yep, I toured them around the school." I said.

"You were ruder, what happened during the course of not even a week?" Sousuke-san asked.

I looked at Ao-chan, exchanging glares, "A promise." I said after a short pause.

We ate in silence, everyone just not talking. Ao-chan looked uncomfortable, I was too. The three probably would talk all of the time, but I feel me and Ao-chan are making them weird.

"You know, you three can talk..." I'd mutter.

"Huh?" The three boys looked at me.

"It's never like that, is it? You three would always talk, even I could see two years ago when you three were all in high school, me and Ao-chan are making you three weird. Because we're girls?" I explained.

"How'd you- " Minamoto-san started to ask, interrupted.

"She's smart." Yugi-san smiled, looking at the two boys.

"Oh...~" Sousuke-san looked at me.

"So, how have you been then, Daikon-san?" Sousuke-san asked.

"Well, how about you and Minamoto-san?" I replied.

"Good!" They said at the same time.

"You three can call me Ao-chan." Ao-chan said.

"Call me Nene-chan, especially you Yugi-san. I've known you longer than those two." I said.

"Not unless you call me Amane-kun." Yugi-san challenged.

"Fine, Amane-kun." I sighed.

"Great, Nene-chan!" Amane-kun smiled.

Will I ever get away with calling him Yugi-san? Why not Yugi-kun? He's a confusing boy.

**After College Classes At Nene And Aoi's Dorm**

"That was really fun, I'm shocked you didn't smile once." Ao-chan said.

"No... Not really worth it..." I muttered looking down.

Ao-chan looked at me curiously. She must want to know why I don't believe in love. Why I don't smile, but that story's complicated. Also, I don't really like to talk about it either. It's a part of my past no one is allowed to know about, and something I'd like to forget myself.

I wiped a tear from my eye and went into my room. Even just thinking about it is making me sad... I can only cry, how sad that one person influenced me like this. Angry, sad, and never even happy, or when I am unable to show it. Why did she do this?

I'd sigh, not focusing on it. Instead I think about Ao-chan, Amane-kun, and even earlier today. That was a good day I was happy about, knowing I'm actually happy but everyone else thinks I'm a moody person who despises love. But, heartbreak and that stuff isn't even a portion of why I don't. In reality I have other reasons, reasons that shouldn't be told. I wiped another tear, trying to forget the horrible memories I have from childhood.


I have to forget about... Her...
