sorry for taking too long.. my great grandmother got hospitalized at 98.
so yeah. hope you guys like it.

here goes nothing


The four of us walk towards the Dean's office. Everyone was looking our way, Mio was popular as always. If only I could hide Mio from the rest of the world right now, I know she hates unwanted attention, I just want to be her knight in shining armor when she needs it.

"You didn't do anything naughty, have you, Mio?"

I kid to lighten the mood, it was rare that someone was called to the office this early in the morning..
No response from anyone..

"Y-You guys can wait here, I-I think I need to see him alone." Mio tells the rest of the group
"W-Were here for you, Mio! Fight!"

Yui cheers on Mio in her natural cheery tone, I can't say anything more, I just smile at Mio direction, though she didn't even look my way.
The bell rings, signaling the start of our first subject, Mio hasn't come out yet. It kills me to walk away without knowing what happened to Mio.

"Cheer up, Ricchan! Everythings gonna be okay."

Yui tells me in her cheery tone once more, yeah, I needed a guarantee that everything will be okay because somehow, I saw a premonition that Mio and I would part ways soon…
Lunchtime came but still no sign of Mio, not that we had the same time for breaks, though. I went pass by her biology classroom, which I knew was her subject at 2 in the afternoon.

Her seat was empty..

"She still has some business with the Dean.. probably.." I thought to reassure myself that my premonition will never become reality, how would I be able to live if we were to part ways?

"Psst. Ricchan, I saw Mio awhile ago" Mugi brought me back to reality as I found myself spacing out during our last subject for the day.
"R-Really?"
"Is there something you would like to share with the class, Miss Tainaka?"
"U-Uh, Gomen.. I mean, Me.. Sorry"

The whole classed laughed as Terauchi-Sensei corrected my English, I laughed with them, the weight that I've been carrying all day has been released from my shoulders. The class went by without any further distractions, I'm just too happy.

Being separated with my Romeo, what was I thinking? We both promised to stay by each other's loving side no matter what happens, I fall asleep as soon as my body hits the bed.

I hear the voice of my love in my head, Mio.. I'm here.. There's nothing to be afraid of.. I slowly awaken as I realize the voice isn't from my head, It really is Mio, I must've slept for at least two hours now since Mio's back in our room.

"Ritsu.. Wake up already..
"I'm awake, MY Romeo.. I missed you"

Again she blushes with that sad look on her face, that's weird, she usually hides a smile when blushing.. tonight, she's hiding a frown.. I kiss her cheek as I rise from the bed.

"What's wrong, love?"
"I… Uhm.. I-I got accepted into Tokyo University.."
"HAHA. As if you'd leave me for one of the best universities here in Japan.."

I now realize that maybe she did want to study in Tokyo U, it was her second choice when we applied for college..
Tears now roll down her face, my heart slowly dies, I can't.. I just can't stand seeing my love cry..

"Its not my decision, Ritsu.. My parents are the one who pays for my studying.."

So she IS gonna leave..

"Please, Mio.. anything but THIS.. please.."

I hug and shove my face into her shoulders to hide my tears. I hate Mio's parents..
