PROLOGUE
"I'm sorry Tetsuki but I cannot continue on our relationship." She was silent.
"I know it's hard but I need to do this…" she heard him took a deep breath.
"I'm breaking up with you…" now everything, seemed to stop. Those were his last words before leaving her. She just watched his back… slowly… slowly getting further… until it disappeared. She looked back.
Why is parting such sweet sorrow?

All of the audience, no, everyone inside the gym were silent. Tetsumi, was running as fast as she can to witness the match… but, as she came in, all she witnessed was the heartbreaks, dejections, each player of the opposite team had in their eyes. But, that was not all those eyes, those eyes of her friend… they were so lifeless! She hurried down to her friend, Ogiwara Shigehiro, not being bothered by the glances everyone was giving her.
"Let's have a great match today!..."was her last text she had received from him that day.
"Shige-kun…" she was about to touch him, when suddenly he evaded. She was shocked. He had never evaded her touches before! But, she still tried to approach the said guy… but his next words made her frozen on her spot.
"Get away from me! You… monster! All of you and your team… MONSTERS!"

"Hey, isn't that the girl?"
"Yeah. You know, I pity her."
"Yeah, but what is her relationship with him?"
"How should I know?"
"I feel bad for her…"
Rumors. Rumors. What's up with these rumors? He was my childhood friend and yet… I bit my lip. It hurts. Those eyes of him. They were void of anything. It was so lifeless. Full of nothing. He was scared of her presence. And so she was. But, she kept it all. She then got up her courage to ask some people the direction of Meiko's gym. And to her surprise, they showed her the way.
"She doesn't know, right?"
"I know. He was, oh my…"
Lies. Full of lies.
As she reached Meiko's Gym, she wasn't even surprised with the silence lingering. When she went in, she was so dejected. All of them, they seem not to know what living is already. Their passion for playing basketball was shattered… and it was all because of them. All of them, they don't want to play anymore. The Meiko's Basketball Team, known to have a lot of more than 500 members, were now consisting of no more than 150. A lot left. She was silent for a while not noticing that someone was approaching her.
"Hello, young lady. What are you doing here? Are you perhaps looking for Shigehiro?" a nod. The smile faltered as a sad smile appeared instead.
"I'm sorry. So, you must be Kuroko Tetsumi, am I correct?" another nod.
"Well, I'm happy that I can finally meet you. since Shigehiro kept on talking all about you until… recently." She nodded in acknowledgement. "Well, sorry to say his but after that disastrous game we had with your teammates, you know… a lot of us, even him, decided to leave. Not only did he quit basketball, he also transferred yesterday." Her heart shattered. Why was everyone leaving her?
Seeing this, he patted her and left. She thought that the guy would leave her there but was surprised that he returned holding… are those a pair of wristbands? Seeing the confusion she had, he smiled.
"Well, before he left, it seems he left these behind to , you know, get away from that horrible experience, and I think he knew that you'd come and look for him. At first, I don't know what to do with this, would I keep it, or place it somewhere else? But then, since you came here, why don't you have it? Let's just say a remembrance from him to you, perhaps?" he said as he gave her the wristbands.
"I'm really sorry…" she murmured.
"Maa, maa, I know you're not the type like that of your team. You are different. And, you didn't even this would come. So please, don't blame yourself. Don't even keep it all to yourself. You need to open up a bit. I'm sure, one day, you'll meet Shigehiro again and , you might not know, he would give in to you, no?" a small smile made its way on Tetsumi's face.
"Thank you." she conversed with him for a while before deciding to left immediately. Not being bothered by the rumors circulating around Meiko, she made her way out of the school and into the streets. She clutched the wristbands on her hands, wore them, and with a determined face she looked up.
'Shige-kun, I promise not to never to change like them… and I would try to change them back… afterwards, when we meet again, I would like to ask for forgiveness… I know I can do it."
Yes, and show them that they are wrong. Not everything is worth winning. We need to experience losing as well.
