Two and a Half Weeks Later

Lucy's P.O.V

Kou hasn't spoken to me at all. I haven't seen him anywhere. I was tired of this. If he liked me as much as he said he did then why is he doing this now? I started to doodle in my notebook. Liking someone was one thing but when it seems like they are ignoring you and avoiding you it hurts. My heart, it hurts, it aches. I missed seeing his bright smile, hearing his laugh, I missed him.  Kou you idiot, where are you when I need you? The bell for lunch rang. The class began to leave. I looked at the doorway to see Kou speaking to Yuma. He was here. I quickly got up and walked to them. "That's basically it, anyway I'm going to get a curry bun before they run out," Yuma said as he started to walk away.

"Get me one as well," Kou said. 

"Kou-kun" He looked at me. My body felt shaky. Right now my heart was pounding and my breathing was rapid. I was timid, afraid of what he might say or do. 

"Lucy-chan" He seemed normal so why am I not?

"Kou-kun-"

"You like me don't you?"

"Huh?"

"Don't" What did he mean by that? "I don't like you the same way. I thought you understood that." My heart felt like it shattered. If anything I remembered that he was the one trying to get close to me. He was the one who kept asking me to date him. All this just for him to say this in the end? 

"I guess you must have been mistaken. It's not like I looked at you and said, oh I am going to like him. If anything I tried to avoid you and yet you never gave up. "

"It's not like I told you to like me."

"If anything you did. The moment I chose to accept those feelings is when you disappeared. Is playing with my emotions some sort of game to you?" 

"Lucy-chan it's not like that-" 

"I don't want to hear it." I walked away. He called for me multiple times after that but I chose to ignore it. I didn't want to hate him, if anything I wanted to forget him but how could I? How could I forget him? 

My vision started to blur and my heart continued to ache. Not here and now. I quickly went into the bathroom and into a stall. As soon as the door closed I cried my heart out. It seemed like no matter what my heart continued to ache. 

Two Months Later

Kimi's P.O.V

I sat on the roof again with Yuka. "Lucy-chan has been really busy since becoming the vice president of the writers club right?" She said. I nodded. For two months Lucy focused more on her studies and her club. She was still around us every now and then but it wasn't the same. 

"Lyon said that she hasn't been texting him back much either. I thought the date would have gotten her to forget about Kou but it seems like it did more than that."

"Kou and Lucy, those two haven't spoken in about three months right?" I nodded. 

"Yeah, but she was somewhat fine the first month. Even after she reconnected with Lyon she seemed a little better."

"Do you remember that day over a month ago where Lucy was supposed to meet us at lunch but instead she went to the nurse's office. She went home after and didn't come back to school for a week." 

"Do you think she might have spoken to Kou then?" Yuka nodded.

"If she did then something must have happened." 

"How about I speak to Lucy and you speak to Kou then at the end of the day we can come together and figure out what's the issue." I nodded.

"Sounds like a plan"
