the next day

Himeko awoke earlier then usual feeling tired and upset over everything that had happened yesterday. She knew that everything was going to change at school. people will be just as sad as her and she didn't want that.

I wonder if i could talk to the teacher about not telling them. With that idea Himeko jumped out of bed quickly and got dress in her uniform before running down stairs to get some breakfest.

"Your up early Hime-chan." stated her older sister as she cooked over the stove.

"I know but i wanted to get to school early i want to talk to the teacher about something." purposely leaving out what she wants to ask the teacher.

"Oh ok well here is your breakfest. I will be right back I need to wake mom and Yumeko." with that said Aiko left. Leaving Himeko to eat very fast before dumping her dishes in the sink and head to the door.

Himeko ran all the way to her school and into the building only stopping for a second to change her shoes before heading to the teachers lounge. Finally at the door she knocked three times before somebody open the door and when they did she must have been real lucky for it was Gori-sensei who answered.

"Nonohara-san what are you doing here so early?"

"Gori-sensei i was wondering if i could ask a favor?"

"Very well come in and have a seat." Gori-sensei opened the door wider and allowed Himeko to enter. HImeko notice the room was empty minus them but that just made it easier to ask without anyone else knowing. Himeko followed Gori-sensei to his desk where they both took a seat.

"Now what is it you want to ask?"

Himeko took a deep breath before blurting out her question in a rush " I was hoping that you won't tell the class that I am moving until the last day."

Gori sat there shocked before asking why.

"Because I don't want to spend my last week here clouded with sadness. I want it to be normal and happy so i can spend it with everyone."

Gori looked at her before understanding filled his eyes and a sad smile formed.

"Alright Nonohara-san I will wait to tell but you are right alot of people will be sad when you leave."

Himeko smiled and thanked Gori-sensei before rushing out of the room and around the corner.

I hope everything works out Nonohara-san and Kobayashi are really close i don't want to see any of them hurt with that thought Gori-sensei turned around and got back to work.

Himeko walked backed outside and started going around the school remembering all the things that took place at this school. This place holds alot of memory for me. It's where i got my first crush. A boy with a wide smile flashed in her head where Aiko-onee got her boyfriend the same boy flashed again in her head but with her sister who had tears in her eyes and where i met Daichi this time a black haired boy flashed in her head and so many more other memories that i will always cherish.

Himeko stopped at the soccor field just gazing down not really seeing it. I wonder when i come back will all of this change and will people still remember me when i'm gone.

Himeko was so lost in thought she didn't see the other students coming through the gate. Students passed by her until the walkway was flooded and a bell echoed across the area.

That bell was what dragged Himeko out of her thoughts and made her realize that classes were about to start. She turned around and followed the other students into the building and up the stairs to her classroom. Opening the door she was greeted by the same noise that was always present when you entered.

Himeko smiled and walked to her desk checking the one in the back to see if it was filled by the one she loves. Daichi must be running late with that thought Himeko sat down and waited knowing he always come right before the tardy bell.

Just as she predicted the boy she was waiting for ran in just as the tardy bell rang and Gori sensei was opening the door. Daichi smiled as he headed for his desk where he sat down and looked to the front finding his favorite person. Giving her the peace sign Himeko return the favor before turing around and paid attention.

Gori-sensei did class as usual not giving away that anything had happen which Himeko was grateful for and thats what it was like the whole day. Nothing changed and everyone acted the way it has always been. HImeko never showed her sadness and always showed a happy smile but one person wasn't fooled and was always wondering what was wrong.

The bell finally rang releasing all the students for the day and Himeko was relieved. Pretending she was happy was tiring and she couldn't wait to get home and be able to show what she was really feeling. Himeko packed in a hurry and headed for the door not noticing she was being followed.

She made all the way to the corner of the school before she was stopped by a hand on her shoulder. With a yelp she turned around raising her arm with her bag to swing at her attacker before getting a good look at him and stopping a inch to his face.

"Daichi!" exclaimed Himeko as she looked at him. She noticed his eyes were closed and realized she still had her bag near his face. She laughed nervously while lowering her arm watching as he opened his eyes.

"Are you trying to kill me!" screamed Daichi as he recovered from the shock.

Himeko shook her head and waited for him to calm down.

"Geez why are you so jumpy?"

"Gomen Daichi but my mom wants me home right away and she told not to stop any where."

"Oh is that why you are acting diffrent?"

Himeko looked surprised and asked what he meant.

"I've known you for a year and I can tell when your hiding something. Your not smiling for real and you are not as energetic as before. So what's wrong?"

"It's nothing i'm just tired I didn't get alot of sleep last night."

Daichi didn't look like he believed her but he knew she was stubborn and will keep hiding it until he figured it out. So he just sighed and told her to get better sleep and that he would see her tomorrow. Himeko nodded and waved as he walked away. When he disappeared a frown return to her face and her eyes changed to sadness. Sorry Daichi but it's not time for you to know what's happening and I want to cherish the time we have left together.

With that said Himeko turned around and headed home.
