The Greatest Unrequited Love

Flashback (Third Part)

"A-Aya?"

"Is Rei here?" I asked.

He nodded. "Should I call him?"

"No, I'll just wait sitting here." I smiled at him. "Are you leaving?"

"Nah." He keeps on brushing his glance on the sky. "Ran is here too."

I looked at the sky too. "Really?"

"Yeah, they have a photo shoot. You know number one guy and number one gal."

"…"

Yuuya is such a nice guy. He's intelligent, handsome and a lot of girls are drooling over him, I can't believe he confessed to me that night. Why me? I know for a fact that he likes Ran - he loves her. If I could just turn my feelings to him, but I couldn't.

"Something wrong?" he asked, full of concern.

Something wrong? Well- yes aside from that confession, there is something more important than that.

"I don't know why but," I looked up to him, "This morning, a lot of people - specially girls, were looking at me. As if they feel sorry for me. I'm really confused."

"I wonder why-"

"I wonder why too! It' unusual."

"Don't worry we'll figure it out. I think I should go back inside. Don't you really want me to call him?"

I shook my head. "Don't tell him I'm here. I'll surprise him. You see a lot of things happened."

Yuuya just looked at me and went inside the studio.

one message received …

two messages received …

three …

'Who could this be?'

From: Mami

21-Feb-2003 3:30 pm

Tell me Aya. Are the rumors true!?

'What rumors?' I opened the other messages.

From: Maki

21-Feb-2003 3:31 pm

He broke up with you? That bastard, jerk!

'What's going on?' I asked myself.

From: red-haired tanned girl

21-Feb-2003 3:31 pm

That Kotubuki! Do you want me to kill her for snatching REI from you?

From: yellow-haired tanned girl

21-Feb-2003 3:31 pm

We saw them together! Page 31 of Gals! Gossip Magazine..

So, they've been secretly dating!

I dropped my cellphone. 'No.' I hurriedly went to a magazine stand to buy it.

As I flipped the magazine to page 31, "This is not true."

"Hey, Aya-chan!" someone called me.

It's Tatsuki.

"Ta-Tatsuki." I hid the magazine from him.

"Woah. What's that? A magazine?" He said in disbelief.

"Yeah. I'm into fashion now." I smiled wryly.

"Let me see."

"No, this is just for girls." I forced to laugh.

"You don't have to hide that, I've already seen that." He said trying to smile.

"Really?" I said in disbelief.

" I heard the rumor and to find out if it's true I bought one for myself." He showed me the magazine he bought.

"I see."

He walked away. He was so down, but I'm twice as down as him. Now I know why a lot of people were looking at me this morning.

'Why am I still receiving messages?'

From: unknown

21-Feb-2003 4:30 pm

Hoshino! Our group can help you. Don't be sad. You can get over him.

I pushed the reply button.

To: unknown

Please. I don't need any help from anyone else. I don't have any problems with Rei.

I pushed the send button.

three messages received …

From: red-haired tanned girl

21-Feb-2003 4:31 pm

AYA! What do you want us to do with KOTUBUKI?!

I replied to her.

To: red-haired tanned girl

Leave me alone. I have no problems with Rei and Ran. You're maliciously thinking bad about that picture. I trust my friend, so as Rei.

The gal replied to me.

From: red-haired tanned girl

21-Feb-2003 4:35 pm

Okay. If you say so.

'Ran is my bestfriend. I have to trust her. Even if Rei likes him, I know she wouldn't do anything to hurt me. Would she?'

I was about to dial Ran's number when.. I saw two familiar figure eating in a restaurant.

'Rei? Ran? No. It can't be. I'm sure it's just my imagination.' I forced that to my mind.

They can't be dating! Ran would never do such a thing to me - something that will hurt me. I concentrated on dialing my friend's number.

calling tomodachi-Ran

09054325488877

I looked at the girl in the restaurant.

'It is really' I couldn't even utter her name.

........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

"This is awesome!!! Yoohoo!!! Treat me because I agreed to have a photoshoot with you, jerk!" Ran kept laughing.

She ordered almost everything on the menu. "Hey, Ototchi!"

"What?" he said in dismay.

"Have you-"

... cellphone ringing ...

Ran answered her phone. "Hello? Hello-"

The caller hangs up. She looked at her phone and scratched her head. Rei asked her who it was. "It's Aya."
