Suzume woke up the following morning and blocked the sunlight with her hand. She slowly opened her eyes and turns over and was surprised to see Yuyuka-can sleeping beside her. Her blue eyes traced her surroundings. The room was very girly and cute unlike her's and she was sleeping beside her best friend on her bed.
She blinked a few times before the memories of the previous day flooded back in her mind. She had gone to the staff room to meet sensei. When asked if he loved her he had said he doesn't. She felt so empty and so lonely. Everything turned black and her mind didn't seem to work properly. She went back to her class and sat at her desk feeling numb. After all this time, he had never ever felt the way she had for him? He had lied all this time, playing with her emotions.
Mamura dropped in his seat next to her. She felt his eyes on her but didn't meet them. He didn't ask her any questions either. Wasn't she lucky to have a friend so dear to her who understood her so well? Anyways, she couldn't trust her voice to say anything to him either.
She had another history class and sensei came and took the lesson as if nothing had happened. At some point she felt that his teaching was a bit different but shook the thought off.
She hid her face the whole time and never looked at him. Hearing his voice was painful enough. However he had noticed him coming to an abrupt halt in mid sentence and coughing it clear. She didn't look up to check, fearing the pain that would come from meeting his eyes.
Mamura had held her hand for the last few minutes and it was so comforting. His warm hands felt so good in her cold ones as she held into them.
Once the class ended she was shocked as sensei stopped her. She froze. But apparently he was only reminding her to do her homework properly. 'Is that all you want to say?' she thought painfully.
And then he called her "Chun-Chun", that name she loved to hear coming from his lips. But it was not right. It was so not right…. He has said, hasn't he, that they should only be student and teacher? That is what she is going to follow from now on.
She cut him in mid sentence, not wanting to hear anymore and ran out, away from him.
Mamura had followed her and she had cried over him. He haven't complained and held her. His soppy smell was calming and after she had cried her heart out she had calmed down eventually. It was raining but Mamura continued to held her and stroke her back. He had led them under a tree to avoid the rain but his hands stiffened suddenly around her but she didnt have enough energy to ask what was wrong. After that he had led them towards her house where she was told to pack some cloths and get ready to go. He would drop her at Yuyuka's place. He had talked to her and she agreed to have her for the night at her place.
Mamura had a word with her uncle and they went to Yuyuka's place. He dropped her and when Yuyuka was inside he kissed her forehead and blushed a deep shade of crimson. Suzume however understood and hugged him before whispering "thank you" in his ears.
Once she and Yuyuka-can were left alone after dinner she confronted Suzume, who once more broke down to her best friend. She had fallen asleep a bit later.
She looked over the sleeping form of Yuyuka. How very lucky she was to have such wonderful friends. They have always been there for her and understood her. Yuyuka had always encouraged and supported her. She was even ready to give up on Mamura for her sake. And Mamura… he didn't show it much but he was always so caring. He was always silently there for her as if like a pillar of support, always supporting and holding on to her every move. She couldn't help the small tug she felt at the corner of her lips as she smiled a small smile at her sleeping friend.
She slipped out of the bed and got dressed before packing her small bag. She took a pen from the desk and wrote a note to Yuyuka before leaving her house.
"Thanks for yesterday. Sorry for leaving so suddenly without telling you.
I need some time alone to sort thing out.
If anyone at school ask please tell them I have a fever and
can't attend school for some days.
See you soon.
PS:- I am really lucky to have you and Mamura in my life. Please let him know this as well.
Suzume"
Suzume wondered as she walked toward the train station whether sensei was thinking about her as she was right now. She shook her head as if to clear the very thought of it. Why should he? After all he didn't love her all along.
Unaware to her Shishio was sitting at his coffee table that exact moment with a huge cup of coffee thinking precisely about her. He needed another cup to get through the day. He couldn't sleep last night. -
