Narrator's P.O.V.

"Kukai, get back here!" a pinkette yelled at a brunet. The boy just laughed and ran away from the fuming pinkette. She chased him to the bank of a river. The girl puffed in front of the boy, tired from all the running while the boy just stood there smirking.

"I'm not the captain of the soccer team for nothing, Amu," he said.

"Shut up!" the girl, Amu, said and dropped down onto the grass and laid down. The guy plopped down beside her and used his arms as a pillow.

"Hey Kukai, can we go to your house?" Amu asked. The boy looked at her with his emerald eyes.

"No," he said bluntly.

"Why not?"

"I'm going somewhere," he mumbled. Amu raised her eyebrow but decided not to pry. She sighed, feeling disappointed.

"Where are you going?"

"Somewhere."

"Can I come with you?"

Kukai winced. "Yeah…no."

"You're meeting her right? Don't even bother lying, Kukai. I know you are." They were talking about Kukai's crush. Her name was Tsukiyomi Utau. She was a truly beautiful girl who was a year older than Amu. She was the same age as Kukai and was in the same class as him. Amu understood why Kukai liked her. She was confident, pretty and kind, though she had a unique way of showing. Amu still felt a pain in her heart when she found out though. Kukai and Amu stood up and started walking back home in silence.

Kukai couldn't take it anymore. "You know my soccer game is coming up right?"

Amu nodded enthusiastically. "Yup, and I'm going to cheer you on!" Kukai smiled at this. They've been best friends since they were 5. They were now in high school. Amu was 16, just a year younger than Kukai. Amu and Kukai were neighbours. They lived right in front of each other and got along well. They would often go to each other's houses and stay there for the night. Their parents were fine with it, since they lived close by. Amu, at first, was very cold towards Kukai, but Kukai did not give up. He eventually broke down her wall and became her friend. Amu spent more and more time with Kukai and eventually fell in love with him, at the age of 10. She confessed to Kukai, but was shot down. She did not give up though. She kept chasing him, even until now.

"Good night Kukai! See you in the morning!"

"Good night Amu!" he called back and walked into his house. Amu sighed and walked into her own house.

"Amu, you're back!" her mom greeted her. "How was your day?"

"It was okay," she replied simply. Her mom realised what was wrong with her daughter. She supported her daughter in chasing her best friend, but sometimes, she wished her daughter would stop so she wouldn't have to get her heart broken so many times.

"He's going to see her right?" Her mom also knew about Kukai's crush. She was like the second mother for Kukai.

Amu sighed. "Yeah, but it's fine. I'm going to see him tomorrow anyways!" She tried to sound cheerful but it came out fake. Her mom looked at Amu with sad eyes. "Mom, when do you think he'll finally notice me?" Amu whispered, looking at the ground.

Her mom pulled Amu into a hug. "I don't know, dear. Sometimes I wish you would stop."

"I just can't mom. No matter how hard I try, I just can't." She hugged her mom back and stayed in that position for a while, then she broke the hug. "I'm going to go shower now," Amu said with a smile and ran upstairs. She smiled, but her mother knew better. She knew Amu was just masking her emotions. Her mom just sighed and retired to her own room.

Next day…

"Morning Kukai!" Amu shouted as she waved at him from outside her house. Kukai yawned and waved back at her. He knew about her feelings for him, but he didn't want to wreck their friendship. It took him so long to just get her to open up to him. There's no way he's going to lose that. He ran up to her with a grin on his face.

"Do you know what time it is?"

The pinkette looked confused at first, then her eyes widened after she realised what he meant. "No, no, no, no, n –"

"100 METER DASH!" and with that, he grabbed her hand and started dragging her, running as fast as he can.

"AHHH! SLOW DOWN KUKAI!" Amu screamed. Kukai just laughed at her and kept running. After running 100 meters, he stopped and Amu hunched over, placing her hands on her knees trying to catch her breath.

"*huff* I *huff* hate *huff* you *huff* bastard," she wheezed out.

"Ouch, that hurt," Kukai mocked, placing a hand on his heart. Amu just gave him the middle finger and walked into school, slowly changing into her outer character. Students crowded around the front gate, mostly all her fans. Amu slung her bag over her shoulder and walked in looking bored.

"Kya! It's Hinamori Amu!" the boys and girls shouted.

"Tch. Get outta my way, idiot," Amu said coldly to a boy standing in front of her. The boy blushed furiously and stepped out of the way. She walked by and the boy swooned over her good looks.

"Kya! Cool and spicy!" they all shouted. Kukai chuckled and chased after her. They both went to their lockers, which were beside each other, and got the stuff they needed. Kukai was about to walk to class but Amu stopped him.

"I'll walk you to your class," she said. Kukai rolled his eyes.

"That's supposed to be the guy's job," he said but she didn't listen. She grabbed his hand and started to walk towards his classroom. After arriving there, she waved to his classmates, who knew her pretty well, and walked to her own class. Kukai sighed. She never learns.
