That Vanilla Milkshake Girl chapter 16 – Standpoint

Yo Tetsu~ Are you coming to the game with us?
It's been five years since Yuri left. It has been also five years since my life went blank and dull because all the colors of my life has been taken away from me.
I loathed myself for not being able to do anything. I was powerless. I cannot do anything.
But then, what can I do if the problem was myself?
I was neither the heir nor the elite her father was expecting to be with his daughter. I was just plain old me, with mediocre living, average grades, plain looks and short stature.
Yes, her father did not approve of my relationship with Yuri, despite of all those kind words he spouted in front of both of us. He wanted to end the irrational relationship of a princess and a commoner.
Life was unlike romance novels where the lad gives his everything to fight for his love. I was unable to do that. I did not have the ability to fight, for this was the harsh but true reality.
I did not want Yuri-chan to hate her father because of the relationship I obstinately established. Both of us were wrong; her father for being ignorant to the reality that an elite can mingle with a plain plebeian, and me for insisting a love that I knew was unseemly. It was better for her to hate me rather than to hate her father who just wanted the best for her.
Apparently, I was not the best.
The realization came to me that all my efforts to reach her and to convince myself that what I'm doing is right was futile. I finally made my mind up to end whatever was between us.
I asked Coach Aida's help, to tell you a false story of me dating another girl.
Everything after that went on a blur: the phone call where I 'confirmed' what coach said to you, Kise-kun flying to Japan, rumours that you and Kise-kun were dating, high school graduation, your debut as an idol…
I didn't know what to do with my life anymore. It's like the time when my friends went on different paths, when they were so close but it felt they were so far, but the pain was worse.
There were times when I think of what could possibly happen when you never left. I imagined the both of us spending our time together in festivals, in sappy movie dates, or just randomly fooling around park, riding the swings that were too small us. There were times that my fingers were itching to dial your number, unsure if you still use the old one which I memorized by heart, just to hear your voice that I've been longing to hear. When I saw you with Kise-kun in variety shows or in music videos, my heart did an awful round of jumping jacks, just how it usually does, but it also clenched to hard, making me feel like a hand was squeezing the poor little organ. It made me breathless, pleased and miserable at the same time, with a bittersweet smile displaying on my face.

Yes.
All my friends gave out an inconsiderable amount of effort to cheer me up and to help me move on from the very first heartbreak I ever had. Kagami-kun never left me alone, always feeding me food that he prepared and shoving basketball magazines into my face. Aomine-kun sometimes hang out with us, together with Murasakibara-kun and Himuro-san in rounds of street basketball. It was Momoi-san's idea in the first place. She got all paranoid over me to the extent that she thought I might consider killing myself (I'm not that weak, thank you very much) resulting into Kagami-kun's constant company.
Midorima-kun was also of help. Who will ever expect him to be a fan of female idols? (Fan merch are possible lucky items, nanodayo. I'm not a fan or anything-) He constantly gave me Riri's merchandise (It's Aquarius' lucky item nodayo. I'm not cheering you up.) but don't worry Midorima-kun, these stuff do cheer me up but I get depressed most of the time because of these. (THIS PARAGRAPH DOESN'T MAKE SENSE, DOES IT?)
A series of barks pulled me back from my reverie. I was actually in the middle of feeding Tetsuya Nigou.
After he was done, I grabbed my things and aimed for the door.
