Sakuno cried helplessly into her pillow, threading her fingers through her long, amber hair. Ryoma was in love with another girl. This was impossible! She loved him with all of her heart, and he just walked over her like she was nothing. She couldn't live like this. She almost felt like burning her diary and shoving the ashed reamins down his throat, maybe he would taste all of her bitter love confessions she had written.

"How can he..." she sniffled, curling into a ball. "How can he love her? She can't be as good as me. Even if she is my best friend. THIS ISN'T FAIR."

Sakuno let the tears flow, taking comfort from the pain they brought. Not even her ringing cell phone could stop the tears. In fact they only ran faster, Ryoma had been listening to that song one day, that was why she had chosen it.

She ignored her cell phone for a full minute, before finally answering it. She tried not to sound like she had been crying. "Hello?"

"Sakuno-kun!" Oh, it was Eiji, her good male friend. She needed someone to talk to, and he was always understanding about these things. After all, he himself had been going out with his girlfriend, Sazuna for two years. They were so sweet together, even if Sazuna was a bit manly. Sakuno sniffed.

"Kikumaru-kun, Ryoma is in love with someone else."

She heard Eiji gasp loudly, and a clatter as he dropped the phone. She sniffled and started to braid her long, silken hair with her delicate fingers, her pink nailpolish glinting in the lamplight. Soon Eiji's cheerful voice came from the phone again.

"I never even knew Ochibi had an interest in Tomo-chan," He said.

Sakuno held back a sob. her small frame wracking. "It wasn't Tomo-chan. We're not even that good of friends." It was true. Her and Tomo had never even hung out or gotten ice cream or anything. All Tomo did was drag her around against her will. Sakuno hated Tomo, and all Tomo did to get Ryoma's attention. She almost trembled in rage.

Eiji gasped. "No way, nya! That can't be true! You guys are always hanging out! Wow." He paused. "Then who is it?"

Sakuno let loose a soul-tearing sob. "An-chan!"

She hung up the phone and cried. How could her best friend betray her?

"Why An-chan? I thought you liked Momo-sempai? Was that just farce? Oh, woe."

Moments later, Eiji ran into Sakuno's room, panting. He had run the whole way after his friend had hung up, panicked that something horrible had happened to her. He swooped down and gathered her lovingly into his strong arms. He petted her beautiful hair and whispered comforting words to her.

"It's ok Sakuno-kun. I'll be here. Don't let the mean old An-chan get you down."

Sakuno sniffled and rubbed the tears from her eyes.

"Thank you Kikumaru-kun. You always know how to cheer people up. By the way, how did you get in my house?"

"You're mom let me in." he explained.

She smiled at him the best she could. He patted her one last time on the head before leaving, explaining that he had run out without telling his parents and would be in trouble if he did not get home soon.

Sakuno fell asleep soon after Eiji left, clinging to her pillow, dried tear marks marring her otherwise porclin features.
