Valentine's Day – The day he broke her heart

"Kyaaa! Saionji-kun! Accept my chocolates! I made them from scratch!"

"No! Accept mine! I'm a better cook!"

"…"

"Wait! Saionji-kun! That's no fair! Take mine too!"

"DASH!"

"…He's…gone…WAIT UP SAIONJI-KUN!"

"Haiii….and so it continues…" sighed Nanami.

"That…that was scary," whispered Miyu. "I'll never be able to tell him if they keep surrounding him."

"Come ON Miyu! We have special privileges, remember?"

"…"

"We're part of his friend group! GOD! Don't tell me you forgot that!" yelled Nanami.

"Ahaha! Right, right. Oh, but speaking of being in his friend group, aren't we supposed to be helping him right about now?"

"Why?"

"Because we always do at this time of the year. Duh!"

"But, don't you think he can handle this situation himself? He's a big boy. We shouldn't worry."

Just then, Kanata ran past them, flailing his arms about and yelling for help, while a pack of fan girls ran after him.

"Hai, hai, coming…" sighed Nanami once again. "Geez, you think he'd be able to take care of himself by now," she continued before she broke into a run after the girls, a giggling Miyu right behind her.

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….

"Pssst! Kanata!" whispered Miyu from the tree, trying to get the panting brunet's attention while Nanami blocked the guarded the playground's entrance. His auburn orbs looked up at the owner of the voice. He light out a sigh of relief as he climbed up to join her. Looking at his disheveled and terrified state, the blonde started to giggle once more.

"Shut up Miyu! This isn't funny!"

"Ahahahaha!"

"Miyu"

"hahaha – sorry," she said as she stifled her laughter.

"This is why I hate valentine's day," continued the brunet. "It's like the full moon that is needed to turn those fan girls into monsters."

"Kanata…" started Miyu seriously, causing Kanata to stop his rant.

"What?"

"I have something important to tell you –"

"Me too!"

"Wha…?"

"Yeah. But you can go first," offered the brunet.

"No no! You go first! My news can wait."

"You sure?"

"Just tell me already!"

"Okay…" said Kanata as he exhaled. His hands dug into his pockets in search of something. When he finally found what he wanted, he pulled it out – a small gift box. He handed it over to her.

"What-what is this?" stammered the confused blonde.

"Just open it!"

Miyu daintily unwrapped the present in her hands to pull out a beautiful silver necklace.

"Now, I know that you're more of a tomboy but –"

"No! I love it! It's really beautiful…" said the girl as she observed the piece of jewelry that lay delicately in her hands. Could it be that…he likes me too? She thought as a smile slowly spread through her face.

"Great! Then she'll love it too!" exclaimed the excited brunet as he picked the necklace up from her hands and carefully put it back in the box.

"She?" asked Miyu, confused.

"Akira, of course," said Kanata contentedly.

"Akira…" said Miyu as her smile slowly faded. "Of course" she whispered to herself more than to anyone else as she got lost in her thoughts.

"Miyu."

"…"

"Oye Miyu!" said Kanata as he waved a hand in front of her face, bringing her back to reality.

"Huh? Oh! Haha! The gift was for Akira? Oh yeah, she'll love it!" exclaimed Miyu as she tried to prevent tears from falling.

"Yeah, I intend to give it to her on Saturday, when she comes back to Japan!" continued Kanata excitedly.

"That's sweet. Listen, Kanata. I have to get to class now, so I'll tell Nanami that you're here, okay?"

"But recess just started and you didn't tell me your important news yet–"

"Oh, my news isn't that important. Rather silly, actually. But, yeah, I have to get to class because I need to ask Mizuno-sensei something. Smell ya later," she said teasingly as she jumped off the tree and ran towards the school building.

"That was…strange…" said Kanata to himself as he watched her run away.

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….

"I-I just can't believe how stupid I was!" Miyu sobbed into Aya's shoulder as Nanami rubbed her back, trying to calm her down. They were sitting in the girl's bathroom that Miyu ran in to right after she talked to Kanata.

"Shhh, Miyu. It's gonna be okay."

"No it's n-not! I just made a b-big f-fool of myself! Of course he wouldn't like me! To him, I'm just a friend!"

"Miyu…" said Nanami, lost for words.

"I'm so stupid!"

"No you aren't!" exclaimed Aya. "It's not stupid to like someone. But, Miyu, you have to move on when you find that your feelings aren't going to be returned! Don't let him make your life miserable just because he likes someone else instead of you!"

Why are you talking like this was just a small crush? Miyu screamed in her head. I love him. I love him so much that my heart aches to see him with someone else.

"I want to go back."

"What?" asked Aya and Nanami in unison.

"I want to go to America. To my parents. I miss them."

"Miyu, just because Kanata –" started Nanami.

"My parents really miss me. They've been trying to get me to go to America ever since they got there. Before, I told them that I won't be able to leave my life here. But, now I want to go. I want to get away."

"Miyu! You're coming? Really?"

"Hai, mama."

"Well, then I'll book a ticket for this Saturday! It's not too early for you, is it?"

"No, mama. School's almost over and I don't have many things to pack anyways."

"That's great dear! We can't wait to see you! We'll be waiting at the airport for you!"

"Thanks mama. I miss you."

"I miss you too. See you soon!"
