What Was Once You

Chapter 9: The first time I felt like this

*POV of Sakura Kumimaru*

Ever since I moved to Tokyo as a little girl because of my dad's work, I haven't really experienced life like many commoners have which means I haven't stupid stuff and while people grow up and say, "don't do stupid things" I thought the complete opposite. Getting into trouble with your friends is the perfect form of living your life but sadly I've never had the social life that other people had a chance of having and that really affects the way I treat and even make friends. I've been homeschooled by people who my dad hired basically my entire life and the only reason why I'm in a highschool was because I argued with my parents and they sent me off to a fancy private school, but one year in that school and I realized that school is pretty much a waste of time and boring until one day I met someone who I would finally be friends with.

She was beautiful, shy but social and a calm person which was the opposite of what I am but she was always so nice to me and her name is Yui Megumi. I met her one day while I was in a store and she was asking me for directions to a certain restaurant that she was told to go to and I helped her find the place but we talked along the way. I wanted to hang out with her more but my school took up most of my freetime, so I asked her exactly what school she attended and she said Shisui Academy. Ever since that day, I knew exactly what I had to do and that was to get into that school at all costs even if my parents didn't allow it but after several months of constant arguing, I finally convinced them and now I go to the school that I always wanted to attend.

That decision changed my life because I finally got friends, freetime, opportunities and a dream to be fulfilled. However there was still something missing that didn't exactly make me 100% happy and that specific thing was love. My private school that I attended before going to Shisui Academy was a girls only school and there weren't any interesting girls in there so I was just bored without a taste of affection and love until I joined a club that I was quite interested in which from that point on, it was fate. Fate waiting to be discovered.

I liked everyone in the club since they were all so supportive and they were all chill people who just wanted to spend some time with each other when school ended but I still questioned if I was ever gonna find that special somebody for me but I never did and I waited but everyday felt the same. Seeing other couples in school made me feel self conscious and most of all, lonely. One day on a special day called Valentine's day, I expected to be dissapointed until he gave me not only a batch of chocolates but also hope to fulfill that missing void in me. From that day on, I stopped being what others call "myself" and I started to be lovesick all because of that one moment and that one person from my school. He changed my life and I hope one day after all this mess goes away then just maybe one day we can have time for each other.
