A/N: Hey guys, Otaku here. First time writing a story in my entire life, totally inspired from reading fanfic.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ CHAPTER 1 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Hey Reina!" Kumiko shouted waving her hand in a joyful manner. Reina noticed as she heard her name and turns her head.

"Kumiko, why are you so happy?" Reina replied, wondering what causes the girls' mood.

"Just excited of the thought that we are graduating soon!" Kumiko replied excitedly, reaching her destination called Reina.

Reina looked down feeling sad of the thought of graduation, as she was planning to leave Kitauji to become special. Kumiko wondered why Reina looked so sad and places her hand on Reina's shoulder feeling worried.

"Reina," Kumiko started. Reina looks up hearing Kumiko call her name with a serious tone. "what's wrong?" Kumiko continues.

"I will be leaving Kitauji after we graduate." Reina replied, feeling guilty of having to leave the love of her life.

She was shocked to see Kumiko crying, feeling worried at the moment, she hugged her so as to try to comfort her love. "Kumiko, why are you crying?" She asked, wanting to know the reason of Kumiko's sadness.

"You're leaving me. I thought that we're going to college together, you promised me." Kumiko replied. Reina looked guilty and turns her head to the side avoiding Kumiko's intense eyes.

"Do you even know how I feel?" Kumiko added. Releasing Reina's shoulders as she realized her hands squeezing tightly on them. "I love you, Reina." Kumiko continued.

Reina looks up directly with shock clearly on her eyes. She hadn't expected that Kumiko felt the same way as her, but there's no way she will be accepting those feelings. She has to reach her dream of becoming special, it has always been that goal before meeting Kumiko when they were in middle school.

"I'm sorry, Kumiko" Reina lied. Walking away without hearing Kumiko reply, afraid to even hear more from her.

Kumiko cried even more watching Reina walk away. She ran towards Reina and hugged her from behind. "Why?" asked Kumiko sobbing from behind.

Reina almost cried at that moment but decided not to and follow her dream. "I want to be special, Kumiko. And to accomplish that goal, I will be leaving the country and attend college there." Reina replied not even an emotion can be heard. She tried to break free from Kumiko's hug but defeated from the attempt.

"Please stay with me, Reina. I love you" Kumiko said hugging Reina behind tightly like there is no tomorrow.

Finally, Reina broke free and pushed Kumiko as gently as she could but had not expected to put more force than she ever intended. Kumiko fell to the ground with shock on her eyes. She stood up, wiping her tears from her eyes.

"I'm sorry, Kumiko. I didn't intend to-." Reina said but stopped when Kumiko puts a finger on her lips.

"Good luck on following your dreams." Kumiko said forcing a smile as if to support Reina's decision before walking away, leaving Reina stunned and guilty.

DAY OF GRADUATION

Reina looked for Kumiko after the ceremony. She asked her bandmates and said they didn't know. Running around, she saw Shuuichi and ran towards him. He was shocked to see Reina like this and waited for her until she caught her breath.

"What's wrong?" Shuuichi asked wondering why the raven haired girl approached him.

"Have you... seen... Kumiko?" Reina asked still struggling to catch her breath.

He wrinkled his eyebrows at the question. "She didn't tell you?" He asked.

It was Reina's turn to wrinkle her eyebrows at the answer, wondering what Kumiko had not told her. "Tell me what?" She asked again, wanting to know something from him.

"That she will be leaving right after the ceremony to go abroad and catch her flight. Said she was invited from Harvard a long time ago, but refused at first because she wanted to attend college here. Maybe she changed her mind and called back, and will be attending at Harvard University for college." Shuuichi explained.

Reina was shocked at the revelation and started to cry like no one was watching. She regretted not being able to tell Kumiko her feelings and failed to reciprocate them. Shuuichi was stunned, and struggled of not knowing what to do to comfort her. He was worried of the looks he was receiving, then he gently helped Reina walk towards an empty bench.

"Why are you crying? You should be happy and support her, right?" Shuuichi started, wanting to know the reason of her tears.

"I just...have so much to say to her. I regret not being able to say what I wanted." Reina said as she stood up, wiping her tears and walked away before stopping. She turned her head to the side and looked at Shuuichi.

"Thank you for everything that you've done up until now." Reina said walking away as she made up her mind to achieve her dream, knowing that Kumiko has given up on her. Shuuichi just stared until Reina was out of sight.
