Ichiru was in class today.

I'm glad. Sometimes I'd catch a glimpse of his eyes he'd try to hard to hide. His puffy eyes broke my heart.

He cried for me.

His first excuse was "I'm still sick from my flu."

His next "I was up all night studying."

"I got peppers in them."

He sat on the other side of the room now. His fan boys swooned over him in they way I couldn't, anymore. No. More like I didn't have the right to anymore.

I did the right thing, but...

Why do I long for him so?
