"Waa, my ball!"yelled Yuma before going after his basketball ball

"Eh? it's yours?! I-I'm really sorry, I just kicked it!" said a Blue haired boy

" It's okay, you didn't know!"continued the crimson eyed boy while waving at the person who kicked his ball

"Waa! Where did this ball came from?!"

"Ah? Did someone find my ball?"Yuma continued to run before stopping in front of a Sakura tree

"No way...It can't be...this is a lie...right?" There was in front of Yuma a white haired young boy who had in his hands an orange colored ball with black thin strips

"Why is Astral-sempai here?!"


Chapter 3

The white haired boy looked at the person who was running in his direction. His face showed that he was shocked"...Yuma?"

"Ah...haha...long time no see"

"It's really you?!" a smile appeared on his face"Haha, I didn't know you were attending to this middle school"

"Ah, Yeah...Why on earth did the ball fell here?"

Astral looked at Yuma's shorts...red "Hmm, you're my kouhai again..."

"Eh?"

"Yeah, your shorts are red. It must mean that your uniform's end sleeves are also of this color. Mine are green, it means that I'm older and that I'm your sempai once again."

"Ah I see..."Yuma looked around him and asked his sempai"You're here alone?"

"Yeah, looking at the sakura blossoms, falling"

"...Sakura...How are the other?"

"They are doing well. Haruto is attending here but he is in the elementary department"

"I see" There was a long and awkward silence before Astral said something again. "But still, You're not bad. I haven't seen you for a long time and you've become something...prettier in a way...Yuma"

"...Don't call a guy pretty!"With a blush on his face, he took the ball from his sempai's hands and walked away"

"..*Chuckle*...still the same" thought Astral

Yuma was behind one of the school's walls, sitting on the ground somewhere where anybody could see him.(At least, that was what he thought...:) He took his legs closer to his chest. before thinking aloud "Ah,God...you've done a cruel thing...Even thought I've decided to not like him anymore"

"No-nonononon, I don't want to join the bascketball club after all! So we don't need to check it out anymore!"

"Oh, come on Yuma!"

"Kotori, the chance of those two to be in the basketball club right now is 99%!"

"Stop dilly-dallying!" She took Yuma by the arm and walked toward the gymnasium before entering in it. "Hello we came to have a look"

"Ah, welcome"said a girl. While she was talking with Kotori, Yuma stared at each person in the gymnasium, looking for two specific person: His sempais,Hana and Astral.

"I Wonder why they aren't there..."thought Yuma before picking up a ball that was Rolling in his direction. He turned to face a basket and thrown the ball Inside of it in a perfect shot.

Woah!

Nice shot!

"Eh?"

"Why don't you join?" asked the teens.

"I...-"

"We just came to have a look, he still don't know if he is going to join"continued Kotori before grabbing Yuma by his hand and getting out of the gym.

Once they were alone behind a Sakura tree, she asked him" why did you attract attention?"

"Haha..Sorry, my body moved on it's own" Yuma looked at the tree next to them. "..Sorry Kotori, today I will go home alone"continued Yuma before walking away."What?, Yum-"

"See you tomorrow"

"...Yuma...He wasn't like this before...It's all because of him...I just don't understand...it's just like Tetsuo said"

Flashback: 3 years ago

"Jeez, I just can't take it anymore!"

"What's the problem Kotori?"

"No matter how much time pass and what I tell him...Yuma is always denying his love for Astral-sempai"

"...I know, He's always looking at him..."

"I just don't understand, why can't he just tell Astral-sempai that he likes him and then pass to something else?"

"Well in a way...He already was rejected..."

"What?"

"Hum, the day he saw Hana-sempai with Astral-Sempai, his heart shattered"

"..."

"...The greater the love, the greater the trajedy when it's over..."

"What do you mean?"

"I caught him crying more than 7 times,When I was buying some errands or playing ...Each time,Under the bridge next to the river"

"Well th-"

"But! Yuma is stong! Even with that, He still smile and walk foward, always advancing...it's something only he can do...I mean ,never abondonning" continued Tetsuo, with a proud smile on his face

"...What are you trying to say?"

"I mean, the only thing we can do for Yuma...is to pray that he will find happiness...with someone else"

"Tetsuo..."
