***Kanou***P.O.V

At the end of the day Megumi runs up to me. I still haven't gotten a chance to talk to Tomoyo all day why can't she just leave me alone for a minute?

Don't get me wrong Megumi is cute and all but nothing compared to how cute Tomoyo is. She has this golden orange hair and chocolate brown eyes that make my heart melt. OK now I probably sound like some cheesy romance Manga.(Not that I actually read cheesy romance Manga anyway)

"Hey Kanou I have something very important to share with you can we go somewhere private please?" She says snapping me out of my thoughts.

Somehow this whole private room thing is scaring me. She then grabs my wrist and leads me to an empty classroom.

We just stared at each other in silence. She then looks down where I can't see her eyes her cheeks turn red.

"I...I like you! She says almost proudly.

I just stared at her in shock my cheeks began to turn red. Why do I have to blush so easily. I take a long look at Megumi she had beautiful golden blond hair and her rosy cheeks are a soft bright red.

She looks flawless even blushing...but I'm not looking for may not be the "perfect" Megumi but even so one thing is clear Tomoyo is the perfect person for me. I love Tomoyo and her flaws. I wouldn't even care if she had all flaws I would still want to be by her side.

"I'm sorry but I cannot accept your feelings." I say surprisingly without stuttering.

"I see..." She responds clearly disappointed she finally looks up at me and her cheeks are now bright red.

"Thank you for your confession even though I may not accept your feelings, I am still happy from it." I respond smiling.

I then focus behind Megumi on the door and I see Tomoyo who seems to be running away. Did she see the whole confession?Or a better question did she get the wrong idea?

"It's Tomoyo isn't it?" Megumi says now realizing what I was looking at. Without meaning to I say yes but shyly.

"To be completely honest I don't see what makes her so special but go after her." She says.

"Wha-"

"I said go!" She says pointing to the door.

I run out the door as quickly as I can. I need to explain to Tomoyo what really happened!

***Megumi***P.O.V

Kanou rushes out the door after Tomoyo. This is the first time I ever lost. Wow does it stink, but at least I feel better he's going after someone he truly loves.

I make a smile at the thought.

"Go get her Kanou." I cheer in a low voice.

***Kanou***P.O.V

I run as fast as I can!

"Tomoyo!" I yell after her.

Wow I have really changed never in my life have I ever thought I'd be chasing a girl. To think I used to be afraid of girls and never talked to one.

Tomoyo finally turns around. I couldn't see her eyes because she hung her head low.

"Tomoyo what you I saw-"

"What are you talking about? I'm fine I'm simply just going home," She said grinning I can clearly see it is a forced smile.

"I'll see you around Kanou." She says before running off.

Something tells me she more upset then she chooses to show.

***Tomoyo***P.O.V

I try my hardest not to cry my heart felt like it was breaking in a million pieces. If Kanou didn't like Megumi why would he smile during the confession?

I was wrong to ever think that I honestly had a chance. Megumi is perfect and way out of my league.

As I'm walking I hear a voice calling my name. It couldn't be Kanou's because this voice sounding like a female's.

I turn around to see Megumi running up to me. What does she want? Hasn't she already won? What , does she wanna make sure to rub it in my face now?

"What is the matter with you? Why didn't let Kanou explain?" She says clearly angry. Shouldn't I be the one upset? Why does it even matter to her?

"What is there to explain anyway you already took enough away from me!" I accidentally yell really loud back.

"Are you serious stop playing these childish games! Look I know you like Kanou and he-" She stops like she was going to say something she wasn't suppose to.

"Look the point is I lost okay." She finally says with a firm voice.

"Wh-"

"Do you want me to say it again? Do you want me to scream it out for ya? I got rejected by Kanou Soutarou! There are you happy now?" She yells tears streaming down her eyes. There is a long silent pause.

"S-So just hear him out okay? He's trying to talk to you d-don't keep pushing him away!" She says tears pouring out like a waterfall.

I don't know what to say at first. I then say something that I don't think I would of ever had courage to say if it wasn't for this.

"Did you actually like Kanou?" I say.

"No." She responds without a hint of hesitation. Suddently rage fills me like how fire spreads rapidly.

"I know you probably hate me but the truth is he was the only guy that didn't look my way when I first came in your class. Every guy was in awe except him. I know I am a selfish person and I am truly sorry, I thought if I hung out with him he would finally look at me but I realized you can try your hardest to make someone fall for you..." She says pausing for a little bit.

"But no matter how hard your effort is, it sometimes isn't enough to make their heart feel something it won't as well as I can't make my heart fall for him either." She says.

I wanted to scream,yell,punch,kick,pull her hair but for some reason I just stood there calmly and asked one more question hesitant at the answer.

"Why? Why lead people on that way?" I say.

"The truth is when I was in middle school I was fat and had lots of ache...yeah I know hard to believe right? But anyway I was teased and bullied a lot. I had no friends at all and no one wanted to be near me. They said I was some type of virus like a disease. That if someone comes near me they would catch it. At that time I thought it was like a normal game of tag and I was it. Only thing is I finally realized I was "it" all the time. I guess what really made me realize this game wasn't a game was when I confessed to my first love, who rejected me because..." Megumi stops talking and starts sobbing loudly and then continues.

"He rejected me because he said I wasn't a girl I was just a virus, a disease, a germ. Nothing more than something everyone doesn't want to have or be near. He said sorry I just don't date germy diseases. I remember going home to my mom and crying as I told her what happened. I asked her why didn't they like me and stuff like what did I do wrong and she said "Well honey that's because you have something inside you that they wish they had. I couldn't help but smile at that thought. I knew from that day forward I would work hard and become the flawless Megumi I am today." She says wiping her tears and smiling.

I smile back. Megumi may have been a pain but I at least I can see her point of view.

"S-So now you know the truth and all I want you to do is one thing! Go find him let him explain himself and don't wait until it's too late either or I'll lick your butt okay!" She says and I smile before I run in the school.

Oh, please please please, don't let it be too late. Just as I am running through the halls losing hope a dash of relief fills my face with joy.

I then made my way to the courtyard relief begins to fill my face as I look towards the bench.

There Kanou is sitting all alone on the bench. I walk over to him and he looks up at me. When he sees it's me he smiles a cute smile with his violet eyes and nice silky dark blue hair.

"H-Hi." He says as I sit down.

"Hi." I respond.

And for the first time I am never planning on ever running away again.
