The patient step of my heel echoes as I climb higher and higher up the steps, there is no rush…

I wonder what you're doing right now… Hanging out with your little 'group', eh? Ha, I bet you, you are. It doesn't matter anymore, for those painful memories will be erased, soon… Yes, soon, there is no rush.
Do you even remember that day? When you rejected my love, and humiliated me in front of everyone? That day, on the field, by the weeping willow. I bet you don't, why would you remember me? After all, there are so many girls who are so influenced with you… Heh, why did I even bother in the first place?
10 years.
10 years I have hidden my love for you… And for what purpose? Was it all a 5 year old little girl's dream? That her "prince charming" will carry her off into the sunset and marry her? How pathetic. How pathetic I have been.
Yet the tears still build up in my eyes…
After it all, I still love you…
But how could you possibly understand?
You told me to move on and find someone else… How? How can I?
It's okay, it'll all be over soon…

My heels hit the cold concrete steps over and over, the sound echoes around me, I shiver… so soon…
A metal door with a label "Roof" comes into my view.
This is the end of my journey…
I push the door open and walk out onto the school roof…
I can still leave… I can just run downstairs, back to safety…There is still that opportunity…
But no.
I'm not leaving, I've been waiting for this moment long enough.
Finally, I forget, everything… The horrible names I was called, the bruises, the wounds I received from my classmates….. Len…
I clutch at my shirt… No. Not now, I cannot possibly back down now… It's too late… Not now.
I stand on the edge of the roof, the empty field in my view, Sorry Ms Yowane, looks like I'm not going to biology today… Or ever again…
This is it.
No more backing down.
This is finally the moment I've been waiting for…
I slowly close my eyes…
And I let my body fall forward…
The noise of the metal door slamming open makes my eyes open instantly, whoever you are, it's probably too late now…
"NO!"
