A journey to begin with you
Chapter 1: the day it all started...
~Akihisa's p.o.v~
As soon as I said those words, i was relieved. It felt like I had kept a 100 kg boulder upon my heart. It felt like everything could become better, far far better than it had been but...
Suddenly my attention was drawn towards those emerald eyes which could be seen from the slit of the door. I recognised those eyes, that auburn colour pony tail... Yes... IT was Minami...
Wait was she running away?
"Minami ...!" I called after her.
She was running down the stairs at great speed. I was losing her gradually.
But suddenly she stopped. In shock, i abruptly stopped too. She turned towards me. But she didn't face me. She kept her head downwards. Then she looked up.
I saw something which shocked me completely; I had never seen them before... there were tears in her eyes...
Tear drops were falling down her flushed cheeks.
Suddenly all the tension that i had been relieved off came back to me. The 100 kg boulder was once again kept on my heart.
I slowly started towards her. I extended my hand but she removed my hand sharply.
"Minami... what's the matter?" I asked.
Before i realised it her gentle hand shot sharply towards my face and she slapped me.
I was too shocked and stunned to even move...
Why the hell did she slap me?
"I hate you, you know..? I hate you. You have betrayed me! I hate you baka Aki!" she screamed.
In a moment she smiled again but i understood it was a forced or rather a painful one "congrats Aki. I hope you keep Mizuki happy... take care of her."
She turned sharply and went away. I was in daze. What happened just now?
My mind processor slowed down. The downstream rate decreased to 2 kbps.
Then I realised I had to chase after her.
So I ran down the hall as fast as I could.
Yuji was electrocuted by shouko and was lying in ashes, but I didn't care.
Tsuchiya (also known as muttsuirni and pervert) was lying in a pool of blood but i didn't care...
All I cared about was my best friend had just slapped me and was crying.
Suddenly i caught sight of her...
I ran towards her...
"Minami, wait! What happened..? Why-''
But before i could complete my sentence...
~Normal p.o.v~
Minami was running away from Akihisa. She didn't want to hear his voice much less see his face.
There was no one beside her now.
Her only female friend had just got together with the person she liked. She couldn't share her grievances with her at least...
Nor she could do it with Tsuchiya or Yuji...
She did what she thought was best...Her classroom... The only place that comforted her...
As soon as she opened the door, she caught sight of Hideyoshi reading a book.
She did it on impulse, what a maiden with a broken heart could think of...
She hugged him...
She hugged him with all her might and burst out crying... She kept herself strong for too long...
It was all over now...
She could cry as much as her heart wanted...
Hideyoshi gently caressed her head and kept quiet...
And between all these there stood Akihisa in daze...
