Chapter 4:

"Kumiko, another gift from the mystery man!"

"Coming"

'A stuffed black dog, 3 red roses and another note'

"Day 2: I saw this dog and it reminded me of you, because like you it is adorable" Kumiko laughed at how cheesy this guy was being, but she did find it weird that a black dog with blue eyes reminded him of her.

"I'm going for a walk"

"Okay be back in time for dinner"

'Who is he; he's probably another shallow asshole like every other man on this planet. If only they knew then they wouldn't even look at me. For some reason that's the thing that annoys me most the fact that they don't know the real me'

Kumiko looked around her to see that she was now in a park, there were kids running around, couples kissing and old people taking a stroll. 'Trust me to end up here'. It was sunny and there was a small breeze which carried the cherry blossom's around the park making it look even more beautiful and peaceful. Kumiko sat down on a near by bench and thought about this secrete admirer and who he could possibly be. But she was interrupted from her thought when she felt an object roll by her foot; she looked down to see a soccer ball and a kid around 5 come towards her.

"Is this yours?"

"Yes Miss"

"Well here you go"

When the little boy moved forward to collect his toy she saw he looked a bit like Souta and mentally kicked herself for thinking about him again.

"You're pretty Miss"

"Thank you, now you better go play your friends are waiting for you"

"Thank you"

Kumiko was used to being called pretty or beautiful, most girls would love to have her looks but she wished she didn't, it caused too much unneeded attention and jealousy.

Kumiko stayed sitting down on the bench till it was time for her to head home and have dinner. When she arrived home she saw her mother standing outside talking to a young man with messy black hair. She jumped behind a near by tree and waited for him to leave.

When he finally did she walked out from around the tree to see her mother standing there smiling at her.

"Who was that?"

"That was a friend from your school bringing you some notes so you could keep up to date on work"

"What was his name?"

"Souta H. I believe"

Kumiko stopped breathing for a second.

"Kumiko is he your boyfriend?"

"Wha! NO!"

"I just thought the way you were staring in the direction he left in you liked him or something"

"NO WAY!"

Kumiko then stormed up to her room to read the notes Souta had given her.
