Chapter 2: Far Away
Mikan is looking outside the window; she is waiting for her boy friend. She saw someone at the sakura tree. It was Natsume; she was watching him from far away.
"You're so far away from me Natsume. I cannot reach you. I cannot even walk on the grounds that you walk to. Even stepping on your shadow is hard for me"
She saw him thinking deeply "what is he thinking? I wonder what it is. Did I ever cross his minds?"
She saw Koko approached Natsume. Koko is talking to him. It was liked he was saying something to him "oh no! Don't tell he is telling Natsume what did I tells him"
Koko did not even smile at Natsume. It is not liked him though. He was telling something to him. They look liked arguing.
She heard footsteps coming towards her direction. She turned around to see who it was. She thought it was her boy friend but it was not. It was Sumire.
"Good afternoon Mikan" she smiled at her.
"Good afternoon to you too Sumire" she greeted her back cheerfully.
"What are you doing here?"
"Waiting for my boy friend"
"Oh, what are you looking outside the window?" she asked her curiously.
"Nothing" she walked away and dragged her so she will not see whom is she looking to.
Sumire insists looking outside the window. She saw Natsume and Koko. She watched them.
"They looked like talking about something serious," Sumire said to her calm but serious.
Mikan walks towards the window and lean on the wall.
"Yeah. Koko did not even smile at Natsume," she said to her coldly.
"Mikan, why don't you tell Natsume that you are waiting for him" Sumire asked her not even looking at her. Her eyes are focus on Natsume and Koko.
"Why should I? It is not worth it. I have many boys around me why should I be obsessed with him," she said coldly. She was holding her tears to fall down.
"Its not liked you, you know. You don't give up fight that easily"
"I don't enter to any fights. I do not need to fight for my love for him. He was so dense to notice that I was waiting for him. I was change because of his cold attitude," she said looking down.
"Look at yourself. You are so pretty. You are beautiful. You are smart. Every boy in the academy wants you. However, do you want them? Are you happy to be with them?" Sumire said to her. She was looking at her eyes to eyes.
"He was so numb to know what I feel for him. Since in grade school I always love him but all he does is to ignore me. He avoided me even though I wanted to be close to him. He always say that he don't want me to be trap in the darkness that he has" her eyes is full of sadness than anger.
"You should tell him what you feel. In that, way the two of you will not be lonely anymore. That two of you are trap in darkness that each of you made" Sumire turned around and walked away.
"And don't keep yourselves in darkness because you shouldn't be" after saying that she waved a good bye to her.
When she looked at the window, she saw Koko is not with Natsume anymore. She saw Natsume lay on the grass she saw a certain pink haired girl approached him. He stood up, the girl clung on to his arms, and they walked away.
After seeing that tears flow onto her eyes. That is when she realized that she could not wait fore him any more.
She heard someone is approaching her. She turns around and saw a dark green haired man. It was her boy friend. He was tall and handsome. His name is Jun Yamasita. She wiped her tears.
"Are you crying?" Jun asked her with full of concern. He was her only boy friend that last for more than one month. They were three months on now.
"No, I'm not" she said to him and smiled widely. He wraps his hands around her waist and they walked together.
