Eri Ayase's PoV

"Tell me something about love Senpai."

Yes, so I agreed to be interviewed. First, she is Maki's classmate. Second, Mia begged me to. But I didn't know that this first year would ask me something about love.

It caught me off guard. I didn't know how to answer her question. Actually, I don't want to answer her question.

"A-ah! Can we skip that one?" Mia, my best friend, trying to save me. "If you like, I'd be more than happy to answer that question, there's nothing I love more than talk about how I love Maki."

Suddenly, Maki slapped Mia. It can be clearly seen that Maki is blushing a little, but hey, Tsundere. Don't forget.

"Ow! What was that for love?"

"This is Eri's interview not yours."

"But why love? Don't you like it when I describe my love for you?" suddenly, a grin appeared on her face, "Ah or would you like it more if I just show it instead? Not describe it. Just say the word my cute trundere." Mia was about to kiss Maki but was denied by a slap.

"Get serious will you!" Still a blushing Maki.

"I am serious with you Love!

Great now what seems to be my interview suddenly became a lovers quarrel. I massaged my forehead and grabbed the first year's hand.

"Uhm, Kino-San, is it alright if we end here? I'm sorry but, I can't really answer that question and these two may take awhile."

The first year shook my hand, "Oh sure Ayase-Senpai! No problem, thanks again!" And she left.

Now I can hit these two.

*Slap slap!*

"Aw! Eri! Why'd you do that?" Mia said as she scratched the part I hit her.

"Ain't it obvious? Stop this LQ, it's giving me a head ache."

"Ow..." Maki mumbled, massaging the part where I also hit her. I looked at Mia and saw that concerned look on her face.

She went near Maki, massaging that part as well.

"You alright?" Mia, with a sweet tone together with a sweet smile, she asked.

I could see how sincere she is to Maki. I feel kind of jealous to be honest, having a person care for you, worry about you, would do anything just to be with you, that's the type of person I see in Mia.

And Maki has her, she is so damn lucky. I swear to god, if Maki won't answer Mia yet, I'll try and steal her. No just kidding, Mia might be the type of person I'd date, but she is my best friend, nothing more, nothing less.

Plus, I still love my girlfriend. Oh, correction, Ex girlfriend. Yes, ex. 3 months ago, I just broke up with the girl I love. Yura Rensei. I can't get her of my mind, even if 3 months has already passed, it's not enough to forget that 1 year we spent together.

Why did she have to leave me. I didn't do anything wrong, and I never loved her less. I always loved her more. Yet I still lost her.

I still.. Lost her..

"Eri-chan!" A voice I was awfully familiar with, Yura Rensei, called out to me.

"Yura." My voice, full of satisfaction.

Yura Rensei, a transfer student. Who happens to talk to me first. Who happens to make me smile all the time. Who happens to complete my day. Who happens to be the person I love.

A first year in Otonokizaka. 300+ students, 26 classmates, three friends, two best friends, and one person, I love. That's her, Yura Rensei.

~three months later~

"Eri-chan! Let's hang out!"

"Yura! You're here.."

"Of course, I'll always be with you."

(Liar, you left me..)

~6 months later~

"Yura.. I love you!" I said facing the mirror. "Gotta do better Eri, c'mon!"

(That's right, I practiced confessing to her..)

~1 year later~

"Hey Eri, let's eat parfaits."

"Sure..." I have to tell her.. "Y-Yura!"

"Hmm? What is it Eri-chan?"

"I... I love you.. Yura.."

That day I confessed to her, I was shaking, nervous, but happy. I finally told her. I wanted to be with her forever. I wanted to try my best for her always. Little did I know, my best wasn't enough.

(Eri! Eri wake up!)

"Eri! It's getting late already, C'mon!"

I gently open my eyes, oh.. I fell asleep?

"You fell asleep in the student council room again."

I looked at the time, it was 6:00 P.m. already. I stretched my hands and yawned.

"Where's Maki?"

"Took her home."

"Really, then why are you here?"

"I came back for you." We stared at each other for awhile and she suddenly bursts.

"I-it's not what you think! Your my best friend, I was just worried for you so I came back for you! Don't get the wrong idea!"

I chuckled, "Of course, stupid. I know you can't replace Maki."

Silence then fell. Until..

"Eri.. About the interview, I'm sorry if ever-"

"Don't worry, it's not your fault alright? She didn't know anything.."

I could hear her sigh heavily. I massaged my forehead and gave a painful smile.

"I'm sorry Eri.. I.. I love someone else.."
