"Ohayo, Tomo-kun!!!" Maki shouted at me.
"Stop shouting at me like that… You will hurt my ear drums…" I looked at her as I poked my ear.
She laughed. "Gomen…."
"What are you doing here, Maki? Is there anything you want from me?" I asked.
Suddenly, Toma cut in. "Yeah…. What are you doing here? You got business with us?" asked Toma in sarcastic way.
I laughed a little when I saw her annoying face. She then stuck out her tongue at Toma and pouted annoyingly. Then, she looked away. Toma loved to tease her. As she was in the same class with me and Toma, Toma was the first guy who willingly approached at Maki and made fun of her. He said Maki was easily made fun of as she was innocently fall into all of his traps. I felt happy when I saw her smiles.
"N-Nothing…. I just want to see the view from the top here…." She stammered.
And then, Toma teased her again and made her more annoyed with him. "Really? Can I trust you with that?" asked Toma sarcastically.
"Urusai!!! Of coz you can trust me!!!" she pouted her lips again and made an irritated sound.
Toma laughed and turned to me. "See… Tomo! I told you… Maki will get startle when I ask her something like that….."
I smiled. "Stop teasing her, Toma…." Then I turned and put my arm on the fence while rested my chin on my hand. At that time, I couldn’t stop thinking about Masami…. I was confused by my own feelings. Masami had always been there for me and anything. But at the same time, she had always showed me that kind of feelings. I didn’t know what kind of feelings she had showed me. And I always thought it was love…. But then, those feelings were faded away since I met Maki…
I knew I made a mistake back then by hurting Maki and burdened her heart. I let her wondered about my true feelings for her. I knew I was wrong about everything; the more I made her happy the more I made her cry. I knew I made those tears fall numerous of times. I knew I was the one who made that fragile heart broke into pieces. I knew she was hurt when I was thinking of Masami. And I knew she had changed because of me…. I changed her into the saddest girl the world. I knew everything of and yet, I had never wanted to admit it. I was too scared back then. I wanted to tell her my feelings but…. something was holding me back. I was stuck by the past and… I was stuck by Masami's unknown love…..
I still remembered when she was saying those words to me. Those confessions… I didn’t know how to answer her. I was startled as she looked at me while waiting for my answers.
Then, she smiled at me and comforted me. She had always thought the best things for me, and she had always be the one who looked at me as I was…. She had accepted me for my worst, she had bear with me for my childishness and she had given me her kindness for my stubbornness.
Everything would be alright back then if I didn’t obviously show too much of my affection towards Masami. She knew I was regretted about letting Masami go. She knew I was surrounded by sadness about Masami. She just knew…. I was still fall in love with Masami. It was started when I introduced her to Masami. At that time, my affection towards Masami was too deep that I wasn’t aware of Maki's feelings towards me….
I turned to her. Maki was happily joked around with Toma. I had always watched her like this. I didn’t want her to know that I was actually looked her in this distance. I smiled alone while looking at her. Her cheerfulness made me wanted to see her. Everything became intense since I introduced her to Masami and Shun on our very first day out together.
"Maki… This is Nagasawa Masami and this is Oguri Shun, her boyfriend and also one of my best friends."
I looked at her as she reached out her hand to Masami. "Hi! I'm Maki. Horikita Maki…. Nice meeting you!"
"Hi, Maki-san…." Masami smiled back at her.
"Jaa… We'll go and buy drinks." Shun-san suggested.
"Hait… Thank you…" said Masami. Then, Shun and I went to buy our drinks. Shun who walked beside me, giggled and sniggered at me.
"Why are you giggling about?" I asked annoyingly.
He shook his head and started to laugh. "Nothing… It just you're finally got yourself a girlfriend. Plus, she's quite pretty…"
"She's not my girlfriend! She's just a friend of mine and also my classmate." I pouted my lips. But he kept laughing at me. "Hey! Will you stop laughing at me?? It's getting to annoy me…"
"Alright, alright…. I won't laugh at you anymore. But then, why are you getting mad about?" he suddenly asked me but he still showed his smile.
I was startled. Was I that obvious?? "Nope… I'm not mad or anything… what made you say that?" I asked curiously.
He sighed. "Well, I'm just saying that…. But Tomo, actually I'm happy for you. I can see she's a nice girl…"
"I told you… She is not my girlfriend!!" I screamed at his face. But and again, he laughed. When I saw he laughed, I couldn’t help myself but laughed along with him. But what I didn’t realize that I slowly took away Maki's smile….. And it was the beginning of the conflict between all of us. She had cried so many times and yet I still stubbornly ignored it....
