Prologue
Maimi –chan!!! Wait for me!!! Yell Airi.
Hurry up slowpoke!!!!hahahahaha……. Laugh Maimi while she’s running.
Airi and Maimi live in the same neighbourhood. They have always been together and they are very close to each other. Maimi or Yajima Maimi is a bit taller than Airi or Suzuki Airi. After running around their neighborhood, both of them finally reach their destination. It is a park. Both of them stop running and sit under a tree.
Mou….Maimi-chan, you are so mean!! How could you make me run that long….you knows that I am not as athletic as you…. Airi said as she pout.
Maimi sigh as she pat Airi’s head.
I’m sorry Airin…… I didn’t mean to make you exhausted…..you know how much I love to run…..said Maimi.
It is not because you like to run, it is because you want to turn yourself into a boy~~~said Airi as she giggled.
What did you say??!!!Maimi ask as she poked Airi’s head.
Itai!!! What did you that for Maimi-chan?? Ask Airi while she rubs her head. You know that I’m just joking right?? She continued.
Maimi just smile when she saw Airi rub her head. “I know that” she replied as she kiss Airi’s head.
Suddenly Airi started crying and hugged Maimi. Maimi was very surprised.
What’s wrong Airin?? Why are you crying?? I’m sorry for poking your head….. I promise that I will never do that again….. Maimi said anxiously.
I have to move away from this place Maimi-chan……. Airi said while she continued crying.
What??!! Maimi said. She was very shocked. Please tell me that you’re just joking Airin….. she continued.
I am not joking….. daddy….have to transfer…..Airi said while breathing heavily. She could fell her trembling voice as she speak.
Maimi can’t hold her tears anymore. She never fell this sad before. Airi was her bestfriend, the only girl who have never seen her as a boy. The other girl in their neighborhood never likes Maimi because she’s a bit rough and boyish. Airi was the only one who wants to become her friend. Maimi didn’t know what she’s going to say. She is very sad and hurt right now. Her heart fell like it is being torn apart.
Maimi-chan……what are we going to do?? What if we never seen each other again?? Airi asked Maimi.
Maimi close her eye’s for a moment. “I have to be strong” she said to herself.
Maimi-chan?? Airi continued.
Maimi open her eyes and stared at Airi eyes as she wipes out Airi tears.
Don’t worry Airin, we will see each other again. I promise you. I will wait for you forever…. Maimi said to Airi.
Really?? You promise to wait for me?? Airi ask as she starting to smile.
I promise you….. Maimi said as she hold Airi tighter in her arms.
Chapter 1
7 years later…….
Kringggggggggggg!!!!!!!
Maimi woke up lazily as she turn off the alarm. She jumps back on the bed and was about to fall asleep again when she heard a knock at her door. The door opened and Maimi’s mother enter her room.
“Maimi dear~~ Wake up already or you’re going to be late to school……”yell Maimi’s mother.
“Mou~~~~ can I sleep a little a bit more?? I’m tired…..” Maimi said as she pulls the blanket.
“Yajima Maimi, don’t you dare fall asleep again”!!! Maimi’s mother yell again as she walked out of the room.
“Alright, alright……”replied Maimi as she walked lazily to her bathroom and ready herself for school.
After she finish her bath and put on her school attire, Maimi sat on the chair near her study table and looked at a picture. She feel very sad every time she look at that picture. But she can’t stop herself from looking at it.
“I miss you so much….. I wonder do you miss me the way I have always miss you….”she said to herself as she kiss the picture.
“Maimi dear!!!! Erika-chan is here!!!” Maimi’s mother shouted.
Maimi quickly put the picture down and ran downstair.
“Ohaiyo Maimi-chan~~~~”said Umeda Erika, Maimi bestfriend.
“Ohaiyo…..”replied Maimi as she walks to the door and ready to go to school.
Mom, I’ll go now!!! Shouted Maimi.
Okay, be careful both of you!!! Replied Maimi’s mother.
As they walk to school. Erika can sense that there’s something bothering Maimi. She look down and depressed than usual.
What’s wrong Maimi-chan?? Erika ask while looking at Maimi with great concern. Are you sick?? She continued.
No…. I’m ok….. Maimi replied as she gave Erika a week smile.
Maimi-chan, don’t insult my intelligence ok….. I have known you for 5 years and we have been best friend since then…… so I know when something is bothering you….. Erika said looking a little displeased.
Maimi sighed and look down to her shoes.
I’m thinking about her……. She said.
Erika smiled and put her arms around Maimi shoulders.
I know that would be the reason…. Erika said as she smile.
What do you mean you know?? Maimi ask.
Because every time you’re looking depressed, there are no other reasons… Erika replied as she smile.
Am I that obvious Erika?? Maimi ask again.
Well, maybe you are…..hehehehehehe….. Erika replied as she giggled.
I don’t know what to do Erika…… I can’t hold my feeling anymore…. I want to see her again…. I want to hear her voice and watch her smile again…… Maimi replied as her voice starting to trembled.
Maimi-chan, I can’t say that I understand how you feel because I don’t, but I sure that you will meet her again someday….. Erika said as she patted Maimi’s head. So, for now just be patience ok?? She continued.
Well easy for you to say…… you have Maasa by your side…… Maimi replied as she stared at Erika.
Erika blushed when she heard the name. After a while, a sweet, heart melting smile appeared on her face.
Well, what can I say Maimi-chan, I’m the luckiest person alive….. unlike you!!! Hahahahaha……Erika said as she run towards the school.
What did you say?? Why you little…… Maimi grinned as she chase Erika until they have reached their school.
I hope you’re right Erika…… I really hope so!!!! Maimi said to herself.
Chapter 2
When both of them reached the school, they saw a group of girls already waiting for them. Maimi and Erika walks quickly towards them. When they reached them, Erika quickly went to a girl that was leaning on the wall.
"Maasa-chan, ohaiyo….." Erika greeted the girl in front of her.
"Why are you late today???" Maasa ask as she pouts.
"Gome, gome…… Maimi have a little problem earlier….. "Erika said while she hold Maasa hand.
Maasa didn’t respond and she keep pouting. Erika knows that Maasa is sulking. So she decided to use the most effective way to cheer up Maasa. She hold Maasa hands as she stares at her with her puppy eyes. Maasa try to ignored it for a while but she already knows that she can’t win with that look. So she smile and kiss Erika cheeks as a signal that she is not sulking anymore. Erika cheeks grew red as she cover her face to cover her blushed.
"Get a room you two!!!" Maimi interrupted both of them.
"Oh~~~ what’s wrong Maimi-chan??? Are you jealous??" Said Chinami as she walks toward Maimi.
"What?? "Maimi asked her while raising her eyebrow.
"Chill out Maimi, she’s just joking…." Said Saki
.
"Well , if I am jealous, maybe you should share Yurina-chan with me….." Maimi said as she walks towards Yurina and put her arms around Yurina’s shoulder.
"Don’t you dare touch my girl!!!" Chinami said as she push Maimi away.
"Oh~~ what’s wrong Chinami-chan?? Are you jealous??" Maimi asked her with the same tone she was using before.
The other girls just giggled and laugh while watching both of them.
"Hey guys, do you hear?? We have a new transfer student today….." Risako said.
"Oh really?? Where is she from??" Asked Saki.
"Dunno…." Replied Risako.
"That’s great…… maybe she can join our group too…." Said Miyabi as she hugged Saki from behind.
"Great idea Miya!!! Maybe then she can hook up with Maimi since she the only one who ‘s single…." Maasa responded.
"Don’t you guys dare to hook me up with anyone….." said Maimi.
"We have to, or you will keep bothering my Erika every morning…." Maasa said with a grinned.
"Yeah, yeah….whatever…. "Maimi said with a pout. "Let’s get going already or we will be late to class…." She continued.
"Well guys, let’s go or we will be late……" Erika said as she kissed Maasa.
"See you guys at lunch!!!" Said Chinami as she hugged Yurina.
"Ok, later!!!" Saki shouted.
A few hours later at Risako, Nakky and Chisa class……..
"Class, we have a new student today….. go ahead, introduce yourself…." Said Rika sensei, their class room teacher.
"Suzuki Airi desu, yoroshiku onegaishimasu….." said the new student.
"Ok Suzuki-san, go and sit beside Risako…." Said Rika sensei.
"Hait….." replied Airi as she walks towards Risako who was waving her hand.
When Airi takes her sits beside Risako, Risako introduce herself.
"Sugaya Risako desu"….. said Risako.
"Suzuki Airi desu…." Replied Airi as she shakes Risako hand.
After their class was over, Risako invited Airi to join them at lunch. Airi smiled and accepted Risako offers.
Maimi class……
"Maimi-chan, you know that I am joking about hooking you up right……" asked Maasa.
Maimi smiled at Maasa and nodded her head. "I know that you’re just joking….." replied Maimi.
"And I’m sorry for making Erika late this morning….." she continued.
"Maimi-chan, don’t worry about that, I not jealous at all ok….. besides, she’s your best friend…." Maasa said with a smile.
"Thanks Maasa….." Maimi replied as she patted Maasa shoulders.
"Well, let’s go to the cafeteria, we don’t want them to wait any longer right……" she continued.
When Maimi and Maasa reached the cafeteria, they quickly walks toward Erika and the others.
Maimi was chatting happily with Maasa until she noticed a new face at that was sitting besides Risako. Maimi froze on the spot and can’t move her leg anymore. She just standing there with her mouth that have grew wider because of shocked.
"Maimi-chan, what’s wrong??" Ask Maasa when she noticed what had just happened to her friend.
Maimi can’t answer Maasa question because there’s only one word that she’s capable of saying at that time.

Chapter 3
"Airin……………." She said.
"What’s wrong Maimi-chan??" Maasa ask again. But this time she also poke Maimi’s arm.
"Oh nothing……" replied Maimi.
Maimi was so happy. Her heart beat faster as both of them nearly reached the table. When Maimi and Maasa reached the table, the other girls greet them.
"What took you guys so long??" Ask Miyabi.
"Nothing….. Miami just froze for a second and can’t used her leg properly just now"…… answered Maasa as she giggled.
Maimi didn’t really pay attention to the other girls because the new student have already caught her attention. Airi was also in shocked when she saw Maimi. Maimi was about to talk to Airi when suddenly Rika sensei came and told Airi that she needs to go with her.
Maimi was so disappointed when she saw Airi leaves. But she knew that she will meet her again after school.
"Just be patience and calm as Erika said"…… Maimi thought to herself as she sat down to join the others.
During the last period, Maimi can’t wait anymore. She was just so excited.
"Damn clock!!! Why are you moving so slow!!! Damn bell!!! Why don’t you ring already…."she thought to herself. She was so lost in her thought until she felt somebody was poking her arms. She turned around and looked at Maasa who was staring at her.
"What???" She asked Maasa.
"Don’t what me"….. replied Maasa. "What’s wrong with you??? I’ve never see you daydreaming during our class before…." Maasa continued.
"Nothing"…. She answered.
Maasa still staring at her and giving her the “I don’t trust you at all look”, so she decided to change the subject.
"Are you going to walk Erika home today??" She asked Maasa.
"Of course I will. Why do ask?? You always know that, don’t you???" Said Maasa as she becoming more suspicious.
"Oh nothing… listen Maasa, I’m not going to join both of you today, so you can go home without me"….. Maimi replied.
"Why?? What’s wrong??" Ask Maasa.
"I have something to do today….."she answered shortly.
"Oh really?? Do you want to tell me what it is??" Maasa said as she raised her eyebrow.
"Well, it’s nothing big….. just something I want to do……" Maimi replied. She’s getting irritated by Maasa question.
Maasa can feel Maimi irritation so she decided to drop the subject.
When the bell rang, Maimi quickly packed her things and headed towards the school gates. She told Maasa to take care of Erika. When she arrived there, she felt very happy because she’s going to meet and talked to Airi again. She decided to wait for Airi at the shop in front of her school. A few minutes after that, she saw Airi walking alone from school. She quickly went to Airi and called her.
"Airin~~~~" she called.
Airi look around to find the person who called her. She was very surprised when she saw Maimi walking towards her. She quickly turned around and ran away as fast as she could.
"Airin!!! Wait!!!" Shouted Maimi. She was very shocked when she saw Airi ran away after she saw her. Maimi quickly chased her. "Maybe she thinks I am a stalker or something……but doesn’t she remember me???" Maimi asked herself while she was chasing after Airi.
10 minutes after that……
Airi couldn’t ran anymore. She was never good at sport, especially running. She finally stopped because she thought she have already out run Maimi. While she was gasping for air, her could feel a hand touching her shoulder. She turned around and she saw Maimi smiling at her.
"She‘s still fast after all……" Airi thought to herself.
"Airin~~~" called Maimi. It’s been a long time….. she continued.
Suddenly, Airi pushed Maimi away and yell at her.
"Don’t you dare touch me!!! Who the hell do you think you are??!!!" Airi yelled as she look at Maimi with her angry face.
"Hey calm down Airin!!! It’s me, Maimi……" Maimi replied. She was extremely shocked about how this event turned out to be but she manages to hold her tears from falling and calm herself down.
"I know who you are, Yajima!!!" Said Airi. "And don’t you dare call me Airin again!!! There’s only one person who can called me that and to me she’s already dead!!!!" She continued. Airi couldn’t hold herself anymore.
Maimi froze on the spot. "Dead?? What is she talking about?? And why is she so angry with me??" Maimi asked herself as she felt her eyes started to get wet.
Maimi try to hold herself together as she put her both her hand on Airi’s shoulder.
"What are you talking about Airin?? I’m not dead, I’m right in front of you!!!" Maimi said to Airi. She was trying really hard to hold her tears. "Aren’t you happy to see me???" She continued.
"Happy???" Airi said with a smirked. "Why should I be happy to see you?? I pray every day that I will never ever see your face again…… I hate you!!!!! "Airi continued as she push Maimi to the ground before she turned around and walked away.
Maimi froze. She doesn’t have the strength to get back to her feet. She couldn’t hold herself anymore as she felt her tears running through her cheeks. She watched Airi walked away and deep down inside her, she said to herself.
"This is just a dream, a very bad dream, right???"
Chapter 4
Airi arrived at her house late that evening. After what happens between her and Maimi, she needs to be alone for a while. After dinner, she just stays in her room. After she had finished her bath, she lies down on her bed and starting to stare to the ceiling. After a few minutes, she slowly opened the drawer and she took out a picture of young girl.
"Why did you appear in front of me again???" She asked herself as she was staring at the picture. "I have already promise myself to forget you……and yet, you just won’t let me……" she continued as she starting to sob.
"I’m sorry Maimi-chan….." Airi talked to herself as her tears kept falling like the rain. "I never meant to hurt you…..but why didn’t you chased me?? Why do you pretend that nothing is wrong??? Don’t you remember the promise that you have broken a long time ago???" She continued talking to herself until she falls asleep while hugging Maimi picture.
The next morning…..
Erika walked alone to school that morning. When she arrived at school, the other girls quickly went to her and ask her why she is alone.
Erika-chan, what’s happen?? Ask Saki.
Did you just kill Maimi-chan because she tried to groped you or something?? Chinami asked as she giggled.
Maasa realized the concern look on Erika face, so walked over to Chinami and poked her head.
Itai!!! Maasa, what’s that for??? Asked Chinami angrily.
Stop teasing my girl or Yurina will have to spoon feed you….. Maasa warned Chinami.
What did you just say you bitc…… Chinami said as she walked toward Maasa while raising her hand.
Maasa was also raising her hand too as she push Erika softly behind her.
Stop it both of you!!!! screamed Miyabi.
Chinami and Maasa frozed as both of them glared at Miyabi.
Maasa, you know that Chii was just joking, and Chii, you know that Maasa do too….. so just stop acting like a fucking brat!!! Miyabi continued as she clenched her fist.
Yurina quickly walked towards Chinami and dragged her away. Risako, Nakky and Chisato that just stood during the whole scene decided to follow Yurina and helped her calmed Chinami off.
Calm down Miya….. Saki said as she put her hand on Miyabi shoulder.
Saki, I’m sorry….. Maasa apologized to Saki.
Saki smiled at her and said.
“It’s ok Maasa, we’ll see you guys at lunch ok”
Then, she took Miyabi away with her.
Maasa turned to Erika who was about to cry as she wrapped her arms around that girl.
Gomenne….. she said as she stared into Erika eyes.
Erika smiled at Maasa as she leaned forward and kiss her lips.
At Yurina and Chinami side…..
“Why are you dragging me away Yuri-chan??!!! I’m not finished with that bitch yet!!!” Chinami scolded Yurina.
Yurina just ignored her as she continued to drag Chinami followed by Risako, Nakky and Chisato.
Don’t you heard a word I said to you??!!! Chinami screamed and pull her hand away from Yurina.
Risako, Nakky and Chisato quickly went to her and tried to calm her down.
Chii-chan…..
“Shut up you brat or I will end up beat the crap out of you too!!!!” Chinami cut those three as she glared at them angrily. “And who does
Miyabi thinks she is??? Yelling at me like I’m a fool…..” Chinami continued angrily.
If it wasn’t for Saki, I would have…..
Panggggggg!!!!!!!!!!
Risako, Nakky and Chisato were shocked as they saw Chinami rubs her cheeks and Yurina who was crying as she shouted.
Tokunaga Chinami, if you don’t get a hold of yourself and shut up, I will break up with you and I will hate you forever!!! Yurina’s cheek
was already wet with tears.
Nakky and Chisato just stood there and they just froze. But suddenly Risako took both their arms and lead them away.
Rii-chan, what are you doing??? Asked the very confused Nakky.
We need to give them some time alone…… Risako continued.
Chisato just nodded and the three of them walked away to class
.
Chinami can felt the guilt building inside her. Yurina was a gentle and caring girl who will never hurt and raised her voice to anyone. The guilt is even greater when she saw Yurina crying.
Yurina….. Chinami called her.
Yurina didn’t respond. She just starting to walked away from Chinami.
Chinami ran up to her and hugged her from behind.
I’m very sorry Yuri-chan….. I’ve lost my temper again….. Don’t leave me….. I beg you….. Her eyes was starting to water as she hugged Yurina tighter.
Go ahead, slap me again, yell at me again and hit me again for being a fool….. slap me again for hurting you….. She continued.
Yurina still stayed silent.
Chinami didn’t know what to do. Her tears were getting worst.
If you can’t forgive me……
She froze as she felt Yurina lips were crushing against hers. She held her tighter as she returned the kiss.
Let’s go home….. Yurina said as her cheeks starting to grow redder.
Ok…. Chinami said as she holds Yurina hand and entwined their fingers together.
I’m sorry for slapping you so hard….. Yurina said when she saw the red spot on Chinami’s cheek.
It’s not your fault baby…. Chinami replied.
Don’t worry, I’ll make you feel better….. Yurina said as she blushed.
Chinami smiled grew wider as she whispered to her.
Well, I guess we better get home fast.
Yurina smiled as she held Chinami hand tighter.
During lunch……
Where Chinami and Yurina?? Asked Saki.
They skip school for today….. Maasa answered.
Oooooooo……… The girls replied as they giggled.
Miya, I’m sorry about this morning…. I shouldn’t lose my temper…. Maasa apologized.
"It’s ok……. Forget about ok…..
Miyabi said as she smiled at Maasa.
"Erika, you still haven’t told us what’s wrong with Maimi-chan….." Saki asked Erika.
"Oh, her mother said she has a fever….." Erika replied.
"Ooooooo….. so you and Maasa gonna visit her after class???" Risako interrupt with her worried face.
"Yes…. You guys wanna come???" Erika comtinued.
"Sorry, but we have plans today….." Said Miyabi as she hold Saki in her arms.
"Yeah, we have plans too"…. Nakky and Chisato said.
"What about you Rii-chan??" Maasa asked Risako.
“Well, I’m going to Airi house today, she wants me to teach her with some homework…..” Risako replied.
“Oooooo …….. speaking of Suzuki-chan, where is she??” Saki asked Risako.
“Well, she’s doing yesterday homework…… she said she fell asleep to early last night…..” Risako answered.
The other girls just laughed when they heard Risako answer.
After class….
Maasa was already waiting for Erika at the school gates when she arrived there.
“Erika-chan, Maasa, don’t forget to Maimi-chan that we are sorry for not visiting her……” said Miyabi as the other girls nodded.
When both of them arrived at Maimi house, they went straight to her bedroom after they have say hi to Maimi’s mother.
When they stepped into Maimi’s room, they were shocked to see Maimi.
“Maimi-chan, what’s wrong??!!!!” Both of them asked.

After school, Risako followed Airi to her house. After Airi had introduced Risako to her parents, she took Risako to her room.
“You have a nice room Airi…..” Risako said as she smiled at Airi.
“Thank you Risako-chan……“ Airi replied to Risako.
“Airi, you don’t need to call me Risako….. Just call me Rii-chan like the other girls……” Risako said while she starting to get her homework out of her bag.
“But you just know me…… I don’t think you would like me to call you that…. And besides, your friends know you very well……” Airi said.
“Silly Airi……” Risako said as she patted Airi’s head. “I have invited you to have lunch with me and my friend at school….. And besides, all the girls seem to like you too…..” She continued. “We can be best friend right???” Risako asked as she’s smiling sweetly towards Airi.
Airi smiled back and took Risako hand.
“Of course Rii-chan…. I would like that very much……” Airi replied.
“Ok then, let’s start doing our homework!!!” Risako said as she punched towards the empty ceiling and tried to put on a very determined and serious face expression.
Airi just giggled at Risako and said.
“Yeah!!! We can do it!!!”
Two hours later……
“Yatta!!!!” Risako screamed as she rolled over towards Airi’s bed.
“Our homework is finish at last!!!” Risako said as she continued to roll herself on Airi’s bed.
Airi giggled at Risako and went over to her bed.
“So, are you going home now Rii-chan???” Airi asked Risako.
“Are you throwing me out???” Risako asked Airi backed in a very sarcastic voice.
“What??? No!!! I’m not throwing you out…… I’m don’t mean it that way……” Airi explained herself to Risako.
Risako smiled when she saw Airi panicking face.
“I know that, I’m just messing with you…….” Risako said as she laugh.
“Mou~~~~~you are so mean Rii-chan…..” Airi said as she pouted.
“Kawaii!!!!!!!!!!!!!” Screamed Risako.
“Nee Airi……” continued Risako.
“What???” Airi replied.
“Are you dating somebody right now???” Risako asked as she moved closer towards Airi.
What kind of question is that Rii-chan??!!! Airi asked as she felt her cheeks grew red.
Come on Airi, we are best friend now right……. We can’t keep any secret between us…… Risako said to Airi.
No way….. I’m not going to answer that question…… Airi said as she put her arms across her chest.
Oh really~~~~ Risako said with a grinned and moving closer to Airi.
Yes…… I will not tell you…… or should I say I would never tell you….. Airi replied.
Well then, I guess I just have to force you…… Risako said with an evil intention all written on her face.
Airi moved backed a little bit as she could sensed something bad going to happen to her and said.
“What are you……”
Before Airi could finish her sentence, Risako jumped on her and she’s starting to tickle Airi.
“You better start talking or I’m going to tickle you to death…….” Risako said while laughing.
“Stop!!! Hahahahaha~~~~ please Rii-chan~~~~stop~~~~alright, alright~~~~ I’ll tell you~~~just stop~~~please……” Airi said to Risako as she tried to stop Risako from torturing her.
“Good choice….” Risako said. She’s very pleased with herself.
“Wait a minute ok……” Airi said as she tried to catch her breath.
“Hurry up Airi, or I will tickle you again……” Risako warned Airi.
“Ok,ok…… but, you have to tell me about yours first……” Airi said as she smiled.
“What??!!! I asked you first didn’t I…..” Risako replied.
“But to be fair, you have to tell me yours first….. Considering that you almost kill me just now…..” Airi said with a stern look.
“Ok then, fair enough…… I tell you first…. But you better tell me after this…..” Risako said to Airi.
Airi smiled and nodded.
Risako sighed as she started to tell Airi.
“I not dating anyone right now, but I do have a crush on someone……” Risako said as she started too blushed.
“Really??!!! Who is that lucky person??” Airi said as she starting to get interested.
“Her name is Tsugunaga Momoko…… she’s in the same class with Miyabi, Maasa and Maimi……” Risako said. “She’s also from our group…..” Risako continued.
“But I didn’t see her yesterday…..” Airi said.
“Well that’s because she has a fever and she can’t come to school for two days……” Risako replied.
“Aww~~~~you worried about her, don’t you Rii-chan……” Airi giggled as she teased Risako.
Risako cheeks become redder as she threw a pillow to Airi.
“Stop teasing me!!!” She shouted. “And of course I’m worried……” she continued.
Airi laughed as she patted Risako shoulder. “Don’t worry ok, she will be fine…..” Airi said to Risako.
Risako smiled as she take Airi’s hand.
“Thanks Airi…….” She said. “Well, it’s your turn now……” continued Risako.
Airi look up and she’s starting to stare at the empty ceiling.
“I am not dating anyone right now……” she said.
Still not satisfied, Risako asked Airi more.
“Well, have you been in love or have a crushed on somebody before???”
Airi looked at Risako and answered.
“Yes, but it was seven years ago…… I don’t think I can call it love because I was just a kid at that time. She is two years older. I don’t even know when my feeling starting to change towards her, but to me, she more than my best friend, she’s my angel……”
“Airi, when it comes to the matter’s of heart, It doesn’t matter whether you are kid or grown up….. Loves have no age limit….” Risako said to Airi. “What happen then???” She continued.
“Nothing happen….. I moved to another place after that….. I don’t even have the chance to tell her how much I love her…….and never met her after that” Airi said as her eye’s starting to tears.
Risako went to Airi and put her arms on Airi shoulders. “Don’t worry Airi, you will see her again….. Just don’t give up yet ok…..” Risako said smiling.
“Thanks Rii-chan……” Airi said while she wipes out her tears.
“Airi, I think I should go home now….. It’s getting late……” said Risako.
After Risako went home, Airi lied down on her bed and starting too stared at the empty ceiling again.
“Rii-chan, I’s sorry that I lied a bit to you just now…… but I can’t tell you that I have meet that person again…….” She said to herself.
She opened her drawers and took out the photos of Maimi.
“Why don’t you keep your promise back then Maimi-chan???” She mumbled to herself.
-Airi FLASHBACK-
Airi’s was moving out today, the mover van was already at her house that morning.
“Where is she???” Airi said as she walked back and forth. “She promise to come and see me today before I leave…….” she continued as she waited anxiously for Maimi. She wants to tell Maimi something today. Something that she has hid inside her heart this whole time.
A few minutes after that, her mother came and told her to get ready to move.
“Wait mom, my friend is not here yet!!!” She said as her tears starting to fall through her cheeks.
“Ok, we will wait five more minutes…..” Airi’s mother said.
“Thank you mom, she will come, she promised me……” Airi said to her mom.
But, after 5 minutes, Maimi never showed and Airi’s mother can’t delay anymore.
Airi was very sad. She never stopped crying even in the van.
“Why did break your promise??? Why didn’t you come Maimi-chan??? I hate you…… I don’t ever want to see your face again…..” She mumbled as she continued to cry.
-END OF FLASHBACK-
