Amu's P.O.V.

Bzzzt, bzzt, bzzzzt! Huh, a text?

I grab my phone from my skirt's pocket as I walk down the street. The screen lights up with a familiar blue haired man I shared many memories with. My heart flutters with excitement, because I haven't talked to him in days. I quickly open the message and eagerly read my lover's- well I guess we're not lovers..- text.

"Amu, I love you. Never forget that."

Okay, maybe we are lovers.

My cheeks redden and I squeal like a schoolgirl. Well, I suppose I am still a schoolgirl, but just barely.

I click reply and type a quick message back, saying that I love him too and I won't forget that or him. I would have written more, but I'll probably be late to school if I fawn over him now.

My name's Hinamori Amu and I'm a senior in high school. I don't like the way my story ends, but I love the story anyway! It gave me a sense of adventure, a taste of the real world outside my own little world. I love retelling this story to myself because it makes me feel special. I know a normal girl wouldn't feel special about doing something like what I did, but for some reason I felt good about it.

(Beginning of senior year)

"Hurry, Rima! We can't be late for the opening ceremony!" I yell to my friend Rima who is running significantly behind me, partially because of how short she is.

"Slow down, Amu! You're going to fast!" she calls back and I just laugh.

We eventually reach the school gate, and it has thankfully not been closed yet. We hurry to the courtyard. Almost all the students are already there by the time we arrive, so we rush to our seats. Moments after we sit, the ceremony starts, welcoming the freshmen and congratulating the seniors for getting this far. I find it incredibly boring, so my eyes wander as the principle talks on and on.

I fasten my gaze to some blossoming purple flowers near the school building. I don't remember those from junior year, so they must have recently planted them. I'm surprised they're already blooming!

Something blue catches my eye from the window. I lift my gaze from the flowers and squint my eyes, trying to see through the window and into the school from my seat. I make out a blue-haired man walking through the halls with one of the teachers. The man looks old enough to be a teacher, but I don't remember him being around the school before. I can't see very well, but from my seat I can tell that the blue-haired man is very handsome.

I rip my gaze from the man when Rima shakes my arm violently, "Amu! They're calling your name to be recognized!"

"For what?"

"All seniors are recognized! Now stand up, baka."

I blush and stand, looking around the courtyard nervously as the teachers clap for me. I tilt my head slightly to the side and my eyes meet his.

The blue-haired man was glancing out the window just as I stood up, and we made eye contact. I gently blush and look the other way quickly before sitting again.

The ceremony lasts for what seems like forever, but it eventually ends and we're dismissed. I rush through the crowd pulling Rima with me, ignoring her protests and constant questions.

We finally leave the school campus and start walking on the sidewalk. Rima stopped asking questions for a while, but now she's continued, "Amu, why the rush to get out of there?"

I shrug, "I dunno," I cross my arms and Rima just sighs, annoyed.

We turn the corner and the first thing I see is the same blue-haired man I saw at school sitting on an outdoor table next to a coffee shop, looking around and sipping gingerly at his drink.

I gasp and hide behind the corner. I don't know why I'm afraid to see him, but for some reason because he saw me earlier, I'm embarrassed if he sees me again.

Rima looks at me, confused, "Amu, what's wrong? Why are you hiding? Come on, let's go."

"R-Rima!" I pull her toward me so she's hiding behind the corner too, "See that blue haired guy, Rima?"

She glances around the corner and smiles, "He's pretty handsome, but I didn't know you did that sort of thing Amu! You know, look around the streets for hot guys."

"No!" I blush, "No, it's not that. He was walking through the halls of our school during the ceremony. Our eyes sort of met for a moment…" I look at my feet and blush a little harder. I don't know why I feel all nervous suddenly.

Rima snorts, "Don't see why that'd matter." She pulls me around the corner, "Oh, you know what I'm in the mood for? Some coffee. Let's get some here!" She smiles and pulls me toward the shop.

"R-Rima!" I whisper frantically. She just smirks and pulls me along. We go inside and order two ice coffees, then Rima decides to sit outside. Not me, her. She chooses a table across from the handsome blue-haired man's table and giggles. She just loves doing stuff like this to me.

I quickly finish my coffee and try hard not to look in the man's direction, however I kind of feel like he might be looking at me. I try to make conversation with Rima a lot to get my mind off of the guy, but fail.

Bzzzt, bzzt, bzzzzt! I grab my phone from my bag and look at the screen. It's a text from my mom. Huh, I stay for coffee for ten minutes and mom needs to know where I am.

Sure enough, the text is asking where I am and if I'll be coming home soon. I know she'll want me home as soon as possible, so I decide to start heading home.

"I'll walk home with you," Rima says and I thank her.

We stand and walk by the blue-haired man's table, who surprisingly hasn't left yet. We get about ten feet down the road before I'm tapped on the shoulder. I turn and see the man standing behind me. He has to be about 5 years older than me, I think, but he's still incredibly handsome. I barely notice his arm reached out to me to give me something because I'm too busy looking at his perfect face.

"Um, I think you left your cell phone on the table. Is this it?" he says in a deep, sexy voice. I blink then look down at what he's holding. Sure enough, he's got my cell phone.

"Oh my god, thank you so much!" I blush and take the phone. I don't want to stop talking to him just yet, so I try to make conversation while still being cool and natural, "Hey, you were at my school earlier, weren't you?"

"Oh, yeah I guess. I was looking for a job there, but I don't have my teacher's license or anything. You go to school there?"

"Yeah, I do. I'm a senior," I smile, trying not to blush.

"Really? You look older," he smirks and looks me up and down. My hairs stand on-end and I blush quite hardly.

"Th-Thanks!" I hold my bag tightly and try not to lose balance.

"My name's Tsukiyomi Ikuto by the way," he smirks.

"I-I'm Hinamori Amu," I smile.

"Hey Amu, I'm going to go ahead. Catch up to me," Rima says then starts walking off.

"Oh, I'll be right there!" I call to her then turn back to Ikuto, the handsome man, "It was nice to meet you, and thanks again for finding my phone!"

"Later," he says and smirks as I quickly turn and catch up to Rima, blushing furiously.

"I'm so glad I got to talk to him!" I whisper to Rima and she rolls her eyes.

"Lucky."

I blush again and check my phone for more messages from my mom. There aren't any more messages, but my phone is on the contact list. And then I see it.

Tsukiyomi Ikuto

He entered his contact on my phone!
