Chapter 3
I love Aya
Three days passed. As I lie in my bed, trying to think, Aya entered my head.
"Damn you," I said in my head. "I want to be with Chidori."
Aya just smiled at me. A beautiful smile. Dammit, I shouldn't think that.
I tried to think Chidori, but Aya popped into my mind.
Aya smiled innocently at me. "Is something wrong?" she asked sweetly.
"I can't get you out of my head!" I screamed.
Aya paused, then said, "Maybe..."
"What have I been thinking?" I muttered out loud. "I love Aya!"
That moment, everything came clear to me. I love Aya, I always will love Aya, and there's no reason to even try to change it. I tried to get over her by thinking of Chidori, but that could never work. I was a fool for thinking it would work.
Love....... It's the strongest emotion of all. All the other emotions I've felt... I've been able to push them all away so easily. I barely had to try to subdue other emotions, but love is different. I've put so much effort into getting rid of my love for Aya, but after a mere three days, it's all blown over.
It took me a long time to fall asleep that night.

The next afternoon, in the middle of an unrelated discussion with Suzumi, I told her, "I want you to take me seriously about this, Suzumi. I... I love Aya."
"I know."
Silence followed. She's brilliant at finding out these things. I don't know why I told her. She can read my emotions just from my actions.
"You know, Yuuhi," she said, breaking the silence.
"Yes?" I responded.
"You really should tell Tooya. At least that you like Aya."
"Why?!"
"She'll probably break it off with her if you tell her that."
I grew irritated. "I don't WANT them to break up. They're happy the way they are."
"Yuuhi. This is a secret, k?"
"OK."
"Tooya," she said, relflecting on her thoughts of him. "You know that he's been in a few relationships before, right?"
I nodded.
"Do you know how they ended?" After I gave no response, she continued. "He broke up with all of them. And afterwards, he hurt them. A lot of them don't talk to him anymore. Not only that, many of his exes have become depressed."
"Shit," I said. "Yeah. I'll tell her tomorrow."
