"Why don't you join?" asked the teens.
"I...-"
"We just came to have a look, he still don't know if he is going to join"continued Kotori before grabbing Yuma by his hand and getting out of the gym.
Once they were alone behhind a Sakura tree, she asked him" why did you attrack attention?"
"Haha..Sorry, my body moved on it's own" Yuma looked at the tree next to them. "..Sorry Kotori, today I will go home alone"continued Yuma before walking away."What?, Yum-"
"See you tomorrow"
"...Yuma...He wasn't like this before...It's all because of him...I just don't understand...it's just like Tetsuo said"
Flashback: 3 years ago
"Jeez, I just can't take it anymore!"
"What's the problem Kotori?"
"No matter how much time pass and what I tell him...Yuma is always denying his love for Astral-sempai"
"...I know, He's always looking at him..."
"I just don't understand, why can't he just tell Astral-sempai that he likes him and then pass to something else?"
"Well in a way...He already was rejected..."
"What?"
"Hum, the day he saw Hana-sempai with Astral-Sempai, his heart shattered"
"..."
"...The greater the love, the greater the trajedy when it's over..."
"What do you mean?"
"I caught him crying more than 7 times,When I was buying some errands or playing ...Each time,Under the bridge next to the river"
"Well th-"
"But! Yuma is stong! Even with that, He still smile and walk foward, always advancing...it's something only he can do...I mean ,never abondonning" continued Tetsuo, with a proud smile on his face
"...What are you trying to say?"
"I mean, the only thing we can do for Yuma...is to pray that he will find happiness...with someone else"
"Tetsuo..."

XXXXXXX NEXT DAY XXXXXXXX
(In one of the 2nd classroom)
"If you're looking for Astral, he might be in the backyard" said an orange haired student to Yuma
"Thank you very much"
(In the backyard)
Yuma was walking, trying to find Astral. He wanted to ask him why he wasn't in the Basketball club.
"Sakura trees...Why the hell are there so much of them in this school! It's depressing!"thought Yuma while walking next to some of those big trees.
"Astral-sempai is still wearing them, those earrings in form of sakura...I don't understand.." He looked on the ground and found a small white daisy next to his feet. "...If Hana-semoai is like a Cherry blossom in Astral-sempai's eyes.. then my existence is probably just like a daisy's...The ones that are unnoticed by others even if they bloom on the road side...That kind of existence...They cant be compared to the presence of a cherry blossom..."thought Yuma before sitting next to the flower
"Astral-sempai, where are you?"asked Yuma to no one in particullar while looking at the sky
"Yo!"
*Thumb*
Yuma turned his head to find someone who fell from the tree next to him. "Astral-sempai?!"
The white haired boy sat up "Phwew...I almost stepped on the daisy"
"..Don't tell me that you swing on the tree because you didn't want to step on it..."
" ...? Yeah"
"...For the sake of protecting it...He's all dirty again, but at least nothing is wrong..."thought Yuma
"Yuma, you're just like this flower"said Astral, while pointing at the daisy, with his poker face
"Huh?"
"Yeah, because in my mind, Yuma is always smiling...When the basketball practice is though, you don't complain, even When you're yelled at...because you're strong, you come across as a friendly person"
"..."
"I think those qualities are like that daisy. Whether you're in the concrete, or in the sewer...No matter how bad the situation is, you're strong enough to keep your head held high, looking toward the sky. That is why, I prefer this flower...Because I think Daisies are the prettiest"finished Astral with a smile
"..What nonsense...why are you saying that you like daisies the most?...You're so foolish sempai, during Junior high you were the one who broke my heart..It was so painful..but as I thought...I really like you, I've..fallen in love with you..."thought Yuma before gently touching the daisy's petals.
"...I'm happy"
"..Yuma?"
"...I am glad that I could be the daisy. Thanks Astral-sempai"continued Yuma with his eyes filled with joy and some Wind passing on his face. Astral's eyes widened for a fraction of seconde, because of the person in front of him, before returning to normal "...No worries"continued Astral, while looking away, with a small smile on his face
"..I'm so an idiot...but if Astral-sempai says that the daisy is alright, then just for a while...I want to stay this flower..."
