Aomine walked into class one day with a smug smile on his face, damn he can't get over that image of Aru. Her eyes closed desperately and lips slightly parted. That's still funny for him. He immediately looked for her inside the classroom maybe to tease her or something but she's not in her usual sit like she usually does every morning and reading some notes. Aomine realized that he had payed more attention on her than he admitted. Their homeroom teacher entered the classroom wearing a sad mask.
"Class I would like to inform you that your classmate Aru has been found with multiple injuries in the next town last Sunday morning, she has been mugged and it looks like she tried to do a self-defense which didn't go well and now she's in the intensive care unit fighting for her life, I would like all of you to please pray for her."
The whole class was shocked at the news, but no more than Aomine. Sunday morning, next town, that must be after the day they had the date and he let her go home alone. He was stunned and he felt himself going pale(Maitim siya!). Is it his fault? It is, that time he just received some text from the operator so he can escaped her. He slumped and closed his eyes.
What will Aomine do if she died? He looked at her empty desk and images of her silently sitting reading books and tapping her pencil in rhythm to her humming. He really notice her a lot he now realized not just in high school but in middle school as well, she's the girl who always peeks at him, the girl who always sit out during PE because of her bad health, the intelligent, silent girl, who doesn't have a lot of friends. Also when Aomine sleeps at the library he always stays in a position where he can observe her but she can't see him. He always make her do his assignments because that way he can talk to her, she barely talks. He then remembered the date how he felt at ease and unannoyed by things during that brief time. He's certain she's not his type and he doesn't feel any sexual attraction towards her, but then why does he get annoyed when he saw her talking to other guys and the kiss why did he get over exited over it to the point of laughing. Maybe it is what they said that you realize the importance of someone when they're gone. But she's still not gone, Aomine hopes. He, Aomine, ace of Generation of Miracles and of Toou likes a nerd for a long time but he denied it even to himself and now there's a chance that he will lose her forever. Aomine stands up suddenly and the homeroom teacher was shocked as Aomine simply walked away. He went to the locker room and there he cried while gripping his hair. How embarrassing if someone will see him in that state. But he can't help it, he hurt the feelings of the girl he likes and now if she died it will be his fault too. Suddenly the locker room opened to reveal Momoi who was very shock to see Aomine crying.
"Dai-chan what happened." Momoi covered her mouth at what she saw.
"Momoi, I did something horrible."
