Sachiko, is one of my friends. We're not that close though. In this story, Aoi is not Natsume's sister. Henry and Cody are just some of our schoolmates that also happened to stay after school that day. Hope this clears up some things.


My so called 'boyfriend' didn't last very long.

On August 22, 2013 I officially broke up with him.

I purposely Skype called a group chat we named 'Too Cool for School' since Natsume is in that chat.

It would have been a good idea...if he was actually online.

I ended up only calling Hotaru, Nonoko and Sumire.

Hotaru and I made up a fake fight so that I had something to show, just to make it more convincing.

I had to pretend to cry over the line and, mind you, is not easy.

I'm usually the happy-go-lucky type of person and I forget my problems quite easily.

The next day I had to challenge myself and act all down, not smiling at all.

I didn't see Natsume the whole day.

That day he was on Skype, but he didn't download any of my screenshots.

I started to feel dejected.

I did this whole fucking show for nothing. He wouldn't know.

But even if he knew, what would he do?

I mean he doesn't like me. He barely cares.

Why am I so stupid?


It's the last week of school for our first semester.

I was in floor hockey for my after school activity, which Natsume was also in.

We're not in the same team though. We're never in the same team.

On December 17, 2013, it was our last floor hockey tournament where our school would be against other international schools in Tokyo.

Aoi was also in floor hockey, but she wasn't in my team either.

It was also our strings concert today.

I had close to 0 interaction with Natsume in the floor hockey tournament.

At the end, we had the finals, where all the good players, one boy and one girl from each team, would be able to play against each other.

I was almost chosen, but I was one vote short.

Natsume, obviously, was chosen for the finals.

Their team wasn't quite fair, because they used the 'pick from the hat' method, and so Natsume wasn't exactly voted by his team. It was just plain luck.

And of course, my 'best friend', Sumire, was also chosen.

She of course, knew I liked him.

She just doesn't get the hint that she should keep a distance from my crush.

I've told her before that what she's doing is making me unbelievably jealous because she's such good friends with him.

Not to mention they're both natural flirters.


When we were back at school from the tournament, Mochu, Kitsume, Natsume, Sachiko, Aoi and Sumire all stayed a little.

Sumire was talking about how this girl from another school whacked her purposely on the leg.

"I mean, she was so fucking aggressive! It really hurt!" Sumire exclaimed.

I just nodded.

"And then Natsume came, 'cause we were both on defense, and asked if I was okay. I told him that the girl hit me and he went and hit her back. The girl hit him first, and then apologized, and then he hit her and mockingly apologized. She's so sexist. She hit me and didn't say anything and then hit him and apologized." She was telling me all these details.

Honestly, 90% of the time I want to hear what she wants to say about Natsume, but 99% of the time I regret it right after she tells me.

Is she basically trying to get me jealous? Well I can tell you this, it's fucking working.

Minutes later everyone started leaving one by one.

Sumire was first to leave, which I'm secretly thankful for.

Soon it was only Aoi, me and Natsume.

Aoi and I had to stay, since our concert is at six and it was only about 4:30.

"You staying?" I asked Natsume.

"Yeah, I'll stay awhile." He answered coolly and I was mentally relieved.

He was at his locker with his science project out.

We had a science project where we had to choose an element and make a costume about it and present it.

Natsume did platinum and he covered a hat with aluminum foil and made a shield with cardboard and aluminum foil too.

Me and Aoi didn't know what it was.

"Do you wear this around your head?" Aoi and I asked and we tried wearing it.

My head fit in easily but Aoi said she couldn't fit her head in.

I tried once more and when I took it out, I accidentally ripped it.

Uh oh...

I apologized to Natsume millions of times.

"I-I can fix it. Just give it to me and I promise I can fix it."

"No. Just no. Don't touch it anymore." He said in a really playful tone.

He didn't seem angry.

He put it on top of the lockers.

"It's gonna stay there and reflect the light." He chuckled a little.

Me and Aoi and then sat down next to him.

"I really wanna touch your hat but I'm scared to..." I stated, staring at the hat.

"If I let you touch it, I'll probably get it back cut in half." I knew he was joking so I laughed at his comment.

I can't help it, whatever he says is funny to me.

Aoi and I started opening the unlocked lockers since some of them don't have an owner and we would peek inside.

"Dude guys, don't touch other people's stuff." Natsume scolded lightly.

We giggled at this and continued.

At the top of the lockers, there was a bag.

Inside was science project but me and Aoi didn't know that and so we took it down, looking through it.

Natsume 'yelled' at us again and so Aoi tried putting it back up.

She put the bag flat on her head and tried to lift it up so she could put it on top the lockers but accidentally bumped the lockers in the process.

Natsume was laughing and mimicking her.

He took this empty box on top of the lockers full with paper.

"Oh! Oh no!" He mocked.

He put the box flat on his head and purposely ran into the lockers.

It was hilarious!

Me and Aoi couldn't stop laughing.

He went back to his locker. Aoi was opening lockers again but I listened to him and closed the lockers that were opened but Aoi kept opening so then I had to close them again.

I thought it was funny so then I went to the locker right next to Natsume's and opened it.

"Dude stop!" He scolded and he slapped my hand away lightly.

I literally felt electricity when he touched me...

In between the 8th grade locker area and the hallway, there was a bulletin wall thing with a thermometer painted to tell us how much money we raised for charity.

We were trying our heights.

Natsume could reach the ceiling, Aoi could reach the top of the bulletin and I was trying my very hardest to jump but the highest I jumped was like 5 centimeters away from the top of the bulletin.

Natsume and Aoi were giggling at me and I was giggling too.

I know I'm short and it doesn't bother me that much.

"If you could learn how to jump high, then you could get a dunk in basketball." Natsume told me seriously.

"I can't throw at all." I told him.

"Yeah. That's why you have to learn how to jump high and get a dunk." He said he knows that some Indian tribe could jump 3 times their height and touch the light on top of the 7th and 6th grade locker areas which were super high!

"Wow...No way," I whispered in awe as I stared at the light.

"But they're my height." Dude seriously? He's like what, 176?

He told me his height that day but I can't remember clearly. It was something close to that though.

"Tche." I made a clicking noise with my tongue.

"Ok, ok. Don't 'tche' me." He went to the small couch that was placed at the back of the 8th grade lockers.

He laid there and we were still giggling at each other.

"You know what, I'm gonna go sleep." He stated before he laid down on the couch, his arms each side of his head and he was curled into a ball.

"You look like those people in jail." I told him. Me and Aoi laughed so hard at this.

"We need to get handcuffs." Aoi said, but since her english isn't all that good so she slurred over the words. Natsume heard her wrong and thought she said 'armcuffs.'

"What? Armcuffs? It's like 'oooh arrest me!'" He mocked and put his arms straight in front of him but put his elbows together.

He started walking around like that, making him look like an idiot.

On the couch, there was a small rip and inside you could see the cotton inside and there were red stains in it.

"Oh god, it's blood." He was saying all these scary things and I freaked out. (I have fear of blood, whatever it's called.)

Afterwards, he went back to his locker and just sat on the ground.

I looked at one of the lockers and saw some blue tack on it.

I tried peeling it off a little but Aoi and Natsume freaked out.

"Dude that's gum!" I instantly stopped touching it.

"No! It's blue tack!" We started arguing for a few minutes.

Natsume came and took a look at it.

"Yeah, it's blue tack." He took it off and ran towards Aoi, throwing it towards her.

Aoi was laughing and screaming, running around the lockers.

Natsume threw the blue tack.

"I got you! It's over there!" He pointed somewhere near her shoulder and hair but there wasn't any blue tack.

Aoi was so innocent and she believed him and looked around herself.

I was next to Natsume and he whispered to me.

"Just pretend it's there." I giggled and then helped him.

"Yeah! It's in your hair! Over here."

"No! It's still in his hand." She was eyeing him as he walked around.

He lifted both hands up to show his palms were empty.

"No, it's seriously not in my hands." We were looking for the blue tack but couldn't see it so we let it go.

He went back to the lockers and tried looking for Sumire's locker.

She asked him to help her open it before she left at 4:30.

There were 2 empty lockers next to Natsume's locker and then after that there was a locker with the lock not locked properly.

I opened it and then inside was a yellow Forever 21 bag.

"This is Luna's locker!" I exclaimed, instantly remembering Luna carrying this bag that day.

Natsume was looking in it and once he heard me say that he freaked out and jumped up.

"OMG. EW EW EW EW."

He said it reeked with perfume.

He asked me if I was sure it's Luna's locker.

I nodded and said I saw that bag with her this morning.

We completely freaked out and told Aoi to lock it.

Chinatsu and Naoko, two of Natsume's female friends called his phone and he picked up.

I was secretly hurt but I continued to laughing and saying, 'awww so sweettttt.' He lowered his voice, not wanting us to hear their conversation.

He ended the call and then a few minutes later Chinatsu and Naoko came. Natsume ginned and went over to greet them.

They went downstairs for a while.

Henry, Cody and some of their other friends were sitting on the sofa at the 6th grade and 7th grade locker area.

I don't really know them or talk to them, I only know their names and are in some of their classes so we just ignored each other.

When Natsume came back, we continued talking and laughing.

After a while, he suddenly came to me.

"What did you say to them?" He asked seriously.

"Say what to who?" I asked back, confused.

"Don't lie. What did you tell Henry when I was away?" He pressed.

"I didn't say anything. I didn't even talk to them." I told him seriously.

"Okay, look at me in the eye then." He smirked, still thinking that I'm lying.

I looked him in the eye and my heart was beating so fast...It was hard not to look away.

We weren't that close but we were still pretty close.

Then he leaned in closer.

I felt lightheaded.

I couldn't stop but laugh to cover my nervousness up.

"HA YOU DID TELL THEM SOMETHING." He exclaimed.

"No!" I laughed. We couldn't stop laughing so we just let it go.

Chinatsu and Naoko came again and so he went down with them again.

Me and Aoi thought that he was really gone so we sat on the couch and then we started singing.

I heard clinking of Natsume's necklace so I knew he was there but I continued singing anyway.

When we finished the song, Natsume jumped out behind the lockers.

"Boo!" He yelled, moving faster than the eye could see.

Aoi screamed a little and I jumped a tiny bit but not too much since I knew he was there.

He said that we were singing really well especially me.

I thought it as sarcasm.

"Yeah yeah." I answered sarcastically.

"Okay fine, you don't believe me. You sang really badly, happy?" He glared.

I started laughing and deep inside I was really happy because he complimented me.


Yep. This chapter is longer and hopefully has more details. This is actually quite recent and so now I'm getting into the more recent events and not so much of the events years and years ago.
