"One day, I'll get better at this. Eventually, I think I will be able to say things properly, be able to accept things properly without having to fuss over my words and reasons-"

With that he looked straight into my eyes. At that time he had a small smile plastered over his face saying 'I am sorry'. But his eyes were determined and calm conveying his determination, his determination for her. And with his final words he tore apart my heart.

"But you don't have to wait for that"

Finally, he made it clear what he wanted, albeit indirectly but he still did it. He told me how he felt about her, how he didn't want to regret doing anything related to her and how he was willing to sacrifice what we two had just to gain a small chance to only relate to her.

It hurt very much at that time. I still remember how many hours I cried over it, how many hours my mom and sable tried to comfort me. It was one of the days I didn't wanted to happen but still knew that it was inevitable. I mean throughout the year it was me who spend most of the time with them. It was simple to see for anyone how much they complemented each other. It was like there always was a wall which separated them from any other person. I tried hard to also go past that wall, to their side but ultimately it was for nothing.

Next day I came to know about the new prom through my classmates. I knew it was him. I didn't understand what he wanted to do with that but I knew it was him. Only he was the one who will come with such a ridiculous idea out of nowhere to reach his goal.

Deep within I still wanted him or even her to come to me for help with this event. I thought even if I couldn't get past that barrier now but still I will get some form of closure from this emptiness. But Alas they didn't come. At first I was sad and disappointed but I was desperate so I joined up with other volunteers through Iroha-chan. After then only I came to know about that he was rejected. I came to know it from him as he was talking to Haruno-san.

To say the least I was shocked, I mean why? I knew both of them wanted this but even then. It truly was unexpected. But still deep within my heart I was happy as I had hope that she would come to me to share her story at least but that also didn't happen.

As the days passed by our third year passed like as it was yesterday. We three further drifted apart as our only sanctuary was disbanded by Yukinon. Komachi-san tried to establish it again but two of them rejected the proposal. With time went on the pain of rejection become nothing more than a fleeting memory. I still saw him and her. He as our third year started opened up to other classmates and also helped student council. He showed a variety of emotions it was like he had changed. But whenever I saw him talking or interacting to others I felt something was missing within him. His emotions, way of talking, or any other interactions reminded me of Hayato.

As for Yukinon, I didn't saw her that much in my final year. I knew she was with student council but nothing more. The only time I saw her was when she had to carry out her duties. But still we couldn't interact much as she would have been busy at the times. Only a subtle exchange of smiles took place between my former best friend and me.

As for me, I didn't want to dwell much on the past and move on like those two so I also unwillingly pushed through. Yumiko and I were still in same class but same couldn't be said to others. As time passed by I interacted with others as I did in my first year. For studies I decided to put more effort I don't know what I decided to increase my efforts was it due to push through my emotions or fill the gap left by service club?

And that brings me to here our Graduation ceremony.

Ahh time surely flies away, it feels like yesterday when I was out jogging with sable and Hikki jumped in front of Yukinon's car to save him.

As I sipped the juice from glass, someone came to me. It was Totsuka, he invited me for a dance as I saw Hikki going on rooftop. Still couldn't keep my eyes away from him huh? I accepted his invite and we went to middle of the establishment where dance floor was located.

We danced for quite a bit when I heard the announcement of prom king and queen, it was Yumiko and Hayato. I felt happy for Yumiko she deserved this much to pair with him after how much effort she put in these past years for him.

After that the music changed to smooth and light tones to match with ball room dance.

"ehem.."

I turned my head to the source of the sound it was Totsuka trying to get my attention as he put his hand in front me.

"Can I have this dance with you Yuigahama-san"

His cheeks were red his eyes has some water in them but still they were fixed on me showing the extent of his determination. To say I was shocked would be an understatement. With his expression and voice, it was like confession of sort. I never thought Totsuka thought of me like that. I was thinking hard to give an answer to him. I mean really hard for like 4-5 minutes but when I saw Yukinon going to rooftop above his shoulder. Realization struck on me, why was I so afraid to only giving it a chance. I mean Totsuka was brave and sincere enough to let me know so why. With that I took a sigh and gave him my answer.

'It is finally time to let it go you girl.'

"Sure, If you are fine with me."

Authors Note

So here is the third chapter. After thinking for some time I thought I should go like this to not delete the previous chapters but to explore this whole universe with the help of POV's.

Now as the main cast's POV's are done. I am actually confused which characters should so if you want to see some specific character's POV comment it so I can consider it.

As for chapters you would have noticed that, the previous chapter and this chapter are named Y, A, and H. In simpler terms I want to give every chapter a word from YAHALLO so there are four chapters still to come. Finally thanks for reading it and stay safe until we meet again.
