Prompt: Someone you used to love

Lily had a slight crush on Akoya Gero ever since they were little kids. Day after day she tried to tell the pinkette how she felt about him. Akoya always had brushed her aside. Kind of like she was nothing compared to him and his rich family. Of course, Lily had some suspicion as to why he didn't bother with her countless asking him for something. Just about about everyone in school made fun of his last name, Gero. Which, of course, meant puke or something along those lines.

Her two close friends, Arima and En, had a sneaking suspicion of who she liked, but didn't push it. All three of them were like siblings.

It was fifth grade, Lily watched Akoya from a distance. Today was Valentine's Day. A day where girls give chocolate to the guy she likes. If the guy she likes gives her flowers, or chocolate, on White's Day which is March 14th.

Lily walked up to Akoya with chocolate in hand.

"Um, A-Akoya-kun," Lily stammered.

He turned his head to face her. Some tears were still streaming down his face. "What is it, Lily?" He asked. His voice wavering.

"I just have some chocolates for you." Lily gave him the chocolates. "I hope you like them. I made them myself." She blushed as Akoya went for them, but he hesitated.

Akoya glared at her. Even with very little tears that were still were falling. "Why should take these chocolates from someone from a lower class than me," he huffed. "Good-bye, Lily."

Akoya turned and walked away from her. He left her there quivering like a chihuahua.

Lily stared after him. From that day on she swore that she wouldn't fall for him or anyone like him again. "I hate you, Akoya Gero!" Lily yelled at his back. "I hope you reach the bottom most pits of hell." She turned on her heel and ran back home.

Lily flinched at the memory. Even now, when she's in her second year of high school, she still had a major crush on the stupid pinkette. Yes, her small crush went from a small harmless crush to something that could actually do her harm. It sucked trying to ignore a feeling that kept growing inside her. She did everything she could to push it down again, but nothing ever worked. Lily could hardly eat when it got bad. She swore that she will never fall for him even more than she probably should. After all she hasn't seen him since fifth grade. She hasn't even seen En and Arima since then either. Lily guessed that they've been busy with school and family business type stuff.

Lily had told them that the one boy she liked didn't quite care for her. She didn't say for sure who it was, and they didn't push it.

Lily sighed as she looked out the window. White's Day was approaching and it made her heart ache from thinking of Akoya. She was past him. Her first and only love. She didn't pay attention to the lesson. To be frank, she just didn't care about what was going on around her.

"Miss Morgan," her sensei(teacher) snapped pulling her out of her thoughts about a certain pinkette heatbreaker.

"What was the question, sensei?" She asked.

If her sensei had one of those anime throbbing things, it would be exploding by this point.

Lily looked around and realized that it was time for o-soji(clean-up). "I'm sorry, sensei. I didn't realize the time. I'll be taking my leave now." She grabbed all her stuff and bolted out of the school. She wanted to get home as soon as possible.

In recent years, Lily's family had climbed the ladder to the higher level of the upper class. Which made her cringe even more. Knowing that's where her first love's family sat. It annoyed her that her parents wanted her to marry into a family with a good family and background, but she couldn't. Not after what happened between her and Akoya. To her surprise, her parents wanted her to date, and eventually marry, Akoya. Both parents had approved of it, and were figuring out a time and place for them to get to know each other again. She'd rather date, and hopefully marry, someone like En.

She smiled when she thought of En. She wouldn't even mind dating Arima a few times. She hoped her view on the upper, upper class changed since then.

Without realizing it she ran into someone. Lily stumbled back a little. "I'm sorry. I wasn't looking where I was going," she apologized.

"I can see that," the person she ran into scoffed. "Be careful next time. Look where you're going next time, peasant."

Lily recognized the voice. It was none other than the voice if Akoya Gero. "Why should I, Gero? After how you treated me back in fifth grade. You never really cared for a girl like me, did you. One girl that actually cared for you and loved you wholeheartedly. A girl that wanted to be by your side for the rest of her life." Lily looked in his eyes. She held her tears back as best she could. "I'll be going now. So if you'll excuse me." Lily felt like her voice cracked a little. She walked away from him. She let her tears fall silently. Lily wondered if he even recognized her now.

Akoya stood there confused on how she exactly knew him. When the girl looked at him; he felt like he had met her back when they were both younger, but he wasn't sure if what she said was true. He didn't quite feel like going back to Binan. Even though, he was asked to pick something up in town for the student council, he didn't want Arima and Kinshiro to see him acting any different than usual.

Lily walked into a park, and went over and sat underneath a tree. She hugged her knees to her chest and began crying even harder. Why did it have to hurt so much seeing him after all these years? It shouldn't hurt this much after seeing a man that she used to love so wholeheartedly. Why did it hurt? Lily didn't want her chest to hurt anymore. It felt like her heart was about to burst right then and there.

Stupid Akoya, Lily thought. You really haven't changed much since then, have you. You're such a jerk. I don't even know why I even fell for a guy like you.

Akoya had eventually made it to the park after a bit of wandering around town. He noticed that the girl that ran into him underneath a tree. He went over to her.

Lily had finally lifted her head in time to see the stupid pinkette walking over to her. She went for her bag and started getting up. But it was a little too late. The pinkette had made to her side.

"How do you know me?" He asked.

"I told you about being in fifth grade together, didn't I?" Lily hid her face beneath her hair. "Just leave me alone, Akoya," she snapped. Lily turned to walk away, but a hand grabbed her arm.

"Who are you?" He asked me.

"You're an idiot if you can't remember a girl's name whose heart you destroyed back then." Lily was slowly losing her patience. "I don't care if our parents want us together; it's not going to happen." She ripped her arm out of his grip and finally started walking away from him for the last time.

A light bulb seemed to go off in Akoya's head. "Lily," he called out. He started after her. Hoping to apologize before it's too late.

She ignored him and kept walking.

Akoya made it to her. He grabbed her arm one more time and kissed her.

Maybe it wasn't so bad to have feelings bubbling back up for a former love.
