Touya-kun: … I'm exhausted. I finished my projects and I was like shit when I passed it to my teacher. Damn. Sorry I can't help it but curse when I'm so tired. And yeah, my cousin is busy doing her thesis… if you're asking what she's like when she's doing it… just listen to her yourself.
Mitsuki-chi: FUCK the Hell!! Damn Thesis!! How the hell should I care if GLOBAL WARMING kills all people? I just hope Vampires don't get killed by it. Wait. Maybe that's why there aren't vampires anymore. Maybe they died and got extinct because of GLOBAL warming. (sigh) Oh! (realizes) you guys are here. Sorry about that. Hmmm… hope you guys enjoy this as we do. And by the way, we have a new story called 'The lake house' check it out when you guys have time.
Touya-kun: Yeah. By the way, we decided to make a Shima story first before 2 consecutive commercials. Okay?
Mitsuki-chi: Okay. Yoshi! On with the story. And I'll continue writing my thesis. Damn Teachers… (grumble)
Touya-kun: Enjoy guys! Hahah!!

-Rima's PoV-
Okay so… Vacation is coming soon. And I hate summer. Not because I don't like having vacation, I have 3 big major reasons why to hate it. And you wanna know don't cha? Well I'll start.
My first reason would be, Work. Now that school has ended, work comes crashing down to me and Senri like hail storms. It would never end, like one photo shoot here and then to another. And that's just exhausting. Second, it's darn hot. The sun's like my greatest enemy when it's summer. And my work isn't making it easier. And lastly, there will be moments when I won't be with Senri.
I sighed as I stared at the schedule sheet our manager gave us. My schedule was conflicting with Senri's so I guess we won't be doing the same photo shoot for the whole month. I sighed once again, this time not because of work or summer. It's because I'm not with Senri and it seems my schedule doesn't let me be with him even for just an hour.
I think I caught Senri's attention with all my sighing, he smirked. I grunted, "What?"
Still smirking he said to me, "You're gonna miss me aren't you?" He said confidently, ever since he knew I liked him his always this confident. I don't hate it but sometimes I think he's doing that because he knows I'm pissed off when he does.
"You wish." Rima lied. Of course, she'll miss him. Just looking at the schedule makes me wanna miss him. Damn. I tried to relax and think positive. 'I keep cursing nowadays. I think I should just think positive… but damn who am I kidding? I'm never optimistic to begin with. Plus, Senri's not making it easier for me either.'
I saw still saw Senri's grin as he averted his gaze to the black board. He must be thinking, 'I know she'll miss me.' And I sulked at that fact. Geez… what does this guy doesn't know about me?
…
Okay, I don't need to ask him because I know the answer. Nothing.
I looked at the teacher, he was pretty boring. Oh how I wish class would just end.
And as if my prayers were heard, the teacher stopped talking and fixed his belongings. Then he went out and bid goodbye.
"Thank goodness." I mumbled to myself which Senri probably heard. He smirked at me and stood up.
"Let's go back to our room." He said as he smiled at me. I pout and remain seated. His smiled faded and asked me again, "Aren't you going back to our room?"
"Later." I replied quickly.
"Aren't we gonna do it?" he asked again, he was frank and yet his expression was blank.
"I'm too depressed thinking of summer to do something…" I replied.
"Hmm…" He said and his smile reappeared. "Still thinking about missing me?"
"Tough luck." I said shortly and stand up. Senri grunted. Luckily before Senri said anything else, Ichijou called us. I secretly smirked, I like making Senri angry as well as seeing him happy. I was obviously in love with him.
"Senri-kun! Rima-chan!!" Ichijou-san said as his usual smile is pasted on his face. I greeted him and Senri just nodded.
"So, are you guys gonna go to my villa this summer?" He said happily as Usa-chan was in his hands. I walked towards him and pet Usa-chan. She was really adorable and yet something intrigued me about that white rabbit. Ichijou still smiling added, "Oh yeah, I also ordered my maids to fetch you a super huge umbrella Rima. I know how you hate summer."
"Thanks for the invitation and concern. Sure, I'll some visit." I said emotionless and blankly stared at him.
Senri looked at me and then to Ichijou, "I'll come too. Although, I might be late."
"Work again?" Ichijou said and looked at them. We nodded.
Then I saw Usa-chan's ears perked up and snuggled deeper to Ichijou's arms. Ichijou smiled at her reaction and I was curious why she was doing that when…
BAM! The door flew open and Aidou came in yelling, "That rabbit ate the pocky I was hiding on my pocket in class!!!" He was pretty childish pouting and pointing at Usa-chan because of the pocky. It was almost like he was gonna cry like a baby.
I smiled secretly, I really like this rabbit.
Ichijou defended Usa-chan and said smilingly to Aidou, "I forgot to feed her some before we went to class. Sorry Aidou-kun." He apologized.
Aidou shook his head and pouted more, "You shouldn't feed her pocky in the first place."
"You shouldn't have brought your pocky in class." Rima softly answered back to Aidou. Aidou glared at her while Rima tried to ignore it. And like her Senri did the same as well as Ichijou.
"Well, I couldn't help but share my common interests with her." Ichijou said and hugged Usa-chan happily. "I really think we share something deep than friendship."
I saw Aidou frowned and felt disgusted at what Ichijou said, "I should have never bought that bunny." He mumbled as he went out. I shook my head and look at Senri. He looked back at me and he didn't smile.
I wondered why. Was there something on his mind?
…
-No One's PoV-
Rima and Senri went inside their room quietly. Rima was still wondering why Senri hasn't said anything after their talk. 'Did he get pissed off because I answered like that?' Rima thought as she opened her closet and took out her night gown. She was tired and she knew Senri might have been too. She went inside the bathroom without saying anything.
She closed the door but didn't bother to lock it. 'What was wrong if ever Senri would walk in, I mean they knew each others feelings right?' Rima thought.
She had just finished taking a shower and changing clothes when Senri knocked and opened the door. Rima still didn't said anything and look at the mirror. She took her toothbrush and put smudge some tooth paste there. Senri didn't move from the door frame and looked at her using the mirror. She did the same and looked back at him while brushing her teeth.
Silence.
…
Rima couldn't handle the silence between them so she finished brushing her teeth and said to him. "What is it Senri?"
"Nothing much." He answered back.
"If it's nothing you wouldn't be standing in the door frame." Rima said as she turned around and directly looked at him. "What's bothering you?"
"Pretty much my life." He answered cockily.
"Gee… Funny, but I don't see myself laughing." Rima sarcastically said. "Spill it out."
Senri sighed and went inside the small room. "You won't like this but… I'm changing my agency."
"What?" Rima asked. Her tone sounded a little shocked.
"I knew you wouldn't like it." He sighed as he brushed his hair with his hand.
"Wait… don't tell me. The reason why our schedules don't match is because…" Rima said as she thought. 'That must be it.'
"Hmm…" Senri nodded. "Pretty much."
"Why?" She asked him.
"My uncle told me it was better if I try to change it." He said briefly as he leaned on the closed door.
"I see." Rima answered sadly. She looked at him and asked once again, "Is that all that's bothering you?"
"No… actually there is still one more thing." He said blankly at her.
Rima was afraid to ask him and she didn't know why. But as if curiosity got the better of her, she asked him. Her blue eyes concentrated on his silver eyes. "What is it?"
"I don't think you'll be able to bear it." He said softly as he blinked. He was serious more than ever and she didn't like it.
'There were only two reasons why Senri would be serious like that, one he has done something not good or there's something not good that concerns him.' Rima thought as she sighed. 'I'll guess… it's the second one.'
"Spill it." Rima half asked and half ordered him.
Senri looked at her and said, "I'll be distancing myself from you."
Rima's jaw almost dropped at what he said. 'Did he just say distance?' Rima tried to pull herself together and answered him, "Excuse me?"
"You heard me. I'll be distancing myself from you."
"Why?" She asked him.
"I need some space." He answered blankly.
-Rima's PoV-
What was going on? It was like yesterday something happened, and now he's breaking up with me? What the hell was going on? Were heaven and all the goodness in the world against me? I get it, it must be karma for what I did to Aidou. Damn.
I shook my head. He said space. Was I suffocating him?
"I don't know what to say." I said truthfully. It was true, I was really speechless.
"You don't need to say anything. I'm just glad you were able to take it." He said and then step away from the wall. Then he slowly walked up to me and hugged me. "I'm sorry. I just have to do this, Rima. I hope you'd understand."
… I didn't say anything. I stared at his face, it was blank. I couldn't read it. It was like I don't know him now. Where was Senri Shiki, my best friend and my first love? As if he read me he slightly smirked.
"I take it, you don't understand. That's okay. Just take care of yourself okay?" He said as he pat my head. And then slowly he kissed me gently and I couldn't help but close my eyes. Our kiss was short and he stepped away from me. "I'll be going back to my old room. And yeah, please don't bother about this. See you around then Rima." He said and walked out of the bathroom. Leaving me behind, leaning on the bathroom sink and blankly staring at the closed door.
I was confused and shocked. What had just happened?
I let my body slipped down to the floor and I closed my eyes. I felt a small tear escaped me. Had just he said goodbye to me? I opened my eyes and answered my own question. Yes… and by the way he said 'distanced' and not 'break up' meant… we were never lovers to begin with.
And at that moment I felt pain came knocking to my heart. Love sucks. First you fall in love with your best friend and now… you realized that you were only best friends to begin with.
At that realization, I felt my heart crumbled. Senri Shiki, my best friend and my first love had turned my love down. Great, Just Great. Why doesn't some Level E suck me dry and kill me now, now that we're at it.
I thought of Zero. He was a ex-level E so he doesn't count I think, besides Yuuki-sama will kill me. And I wasn't desperate to die just like that.
I sighed as I put my arms on my knee and my head on my arms. I hate it. I should have said to him I'd miss him when he asked me at class. And now, I'd be really pathetic if I said it to him now. Kami-sama… What have I done to make Senri said that? Aaaargh.
I sighed. Damn it.
