Fact of this story : The author completely forgot of the time setting, thus she puts random seasons in every chapters. Lol.

TETSUYA
You know, when you thought that you lost the oddness and tense air that had been a border between someone – you're definitely wrong.
Or perhaps time made friendships worse than any circumstances could get.
Four months.
Autumn flew and came in winter, much colder and drew the hectic city with ashen shades and silvery drops. Kids were much happier, because they'd be able to play with snow as if it was a pile of blankets. But the weather was torturous, settling me with a fit of sneezes and runny nose that the children were barely able to contain their giggles and laughter. Troublesome.
For the past four months as well, I hadn't been noticing a patch of the supposedly noticeable red hair, not even a shadow, not even a figure. And an uneasy feeling dawned upon my chest as the thought of my promise wasn't yet fulfilled. Easier said than done, I scowled, Akashi-kun would be very angry.
Or upset.
No calls, no rendezvous, no gifts, no pictures, no emails, nothing. I guess you were really angry after all; for denying the university, for denying you, for the broken deal. The promise. Oh Kami, I felt terrible.
If you'd be here, what would you say? Would you even say a word? Would you even meet me?
"I'm sorry. . ." I'd said it aloud, and inwardly to myself. And towards you.
This was difficult, to be honest. Such relationship was complicated. And what did I said about being tense? The bond we had was like a Ferris wheel, going up and down and up and down, and repeated the motion again and again until it fully comes to an end.
This situation was of no better.
"Kise-kun?"
I saw the blond emitting his charm from afar, looking as radiant as ever (that it hurts my eyes, not that I'll ever admit it out loud anyway). Kise never truly changed, handsomely charming by appearance but truly annoying at heart. His childishness wasn't just. . . something I could cope with.
And childish he did. Once he saw me, he had that sunny aura surrounding him and waved cheerfully. I huffed, utterly embarrassed.
"Kurokocchii!" The arms came as an embrace, and I successfully avoided with a victorious smirk.
"Kise-kun, what are you doing around –"
T University. Wasn't it the place where you'd be studying? Unless you. . .
"Oh yeah, I'm expanding my studies!" The blond exclaimed proudly, like it was his biggest achievement in life.
"With. . . Akashi-kun?"
"Not really. I do often see him at times, but he mostly hangs out with Midorimacchii and Murasakibaracchii."
Oh.
I swallowed a rather lump nervously, and gosh, was my palms always this sweaty. Had he been that disappointed? Had I really let him down? Slowly, the sense of awkwardness crept back and I couldn't bring myself to see you again.
I'm sorry, Akashi-kun.
TO BE CONTINUED
Mozu: Well, I'm back! Miss me? Aaa? Aa? It's been a month, and I have a test last week. Aaaand as usual, our class went into trouble. The story goes a bit like this ; a classmate asked for a peek of the Physics paper from our practical teacher before the actual exam and yeah, the teacher showed him. Then, I found out the paper was passed around by that teacher to all the students. I, too, had taken a peek of the diagrams but not the questions (just the first question though which is just practically asking to define Hooke's law). Then after the school ended, the whole class found out SOMEONE had actually reported to the other teachers. I'm not saying we did a good thing, everyone knew it was wrong and we kinda regret it. Some even didn't touch the paper. But everyone was going to get scolded by the principal.
I'm just angry at my classmate who report it. First of all, the practical teacher do that to gain our trust and wants to help us cause the whole class. But that friend of mine, UGH HE HAS NO EQ AT ALL. When our Maths teacher was being sarcastic, it puts everyone in a bad mood and he was laughing and smiling. Oh well, he's always a bit weird but now he's a jerk.
Oh well, X for love O for hate! I'll update next week with a longer one and no POV chapter. Heh heh.
