This story's setting is in Osaka, Japan. I wanted to try something new so I took real location
Author
Osaka is famous for its street food
Author
Capital of Japan is Tokyo where recently we had Olympic game
Author
Do note that in Japan people call eachother by using thier surname/ Last name formally
Author
Last name cames first so it goes like " last name First name"
Author
There will be many different things of I will make you familiar with
Author
Do stick with the story and the only hope I have is that you guys to enjoy

Keep your business to yourself and don't interfere in my life
Miyasaki Yoshinori
Don't tell me you have fallen in love with me
Okita Kaori
Just babysit and leave
Sakurai Kyoka
It's hurts to see whom you love to be with someone else
Yasui Fuji
Hi there we are your new neighbours
Sakurai Kyoka
Why can't I be with you
Kajiwara Masaaki
It's great that Yasui senpai is out neighbour
Okita Kaori
Why are you avoiding me after all that happened
Okita Kaori
Am I joke to you
Sakurai Kyoka
The way he plays with my Heartstrings is a different feeling
Miyasaki Yoshinori
We aren't meant to be together
Sakurai Kyoka
I don't care if this breaks out friendship
Sakurai Kyoka
But I loved you and I still do
Kajiwara Masaaki
Sakura's mom died in accident
Okita Kaori
Kajiwara Sakura is leaving Osaka
Kajiwara Masaaki
I hope you have a happy life ahead Sakura
Sakurai Kyoka
I regret nothing
At end I regretted everything
The Reality
"𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝒔𝒆𝒂𝒔𝒐𝒏 𝒐𝒇 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒘𝒉𝒊𝒕𝒆 𝒔𝒂𝒌𝒖𝒓𝒂, 𝒔𝒕𝒂𝒏𝒅𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒊𝒏 𝒇𝒖𝒍𝒍 𝒃𝒍𝒐𝒔𝒔𝒐𝒎, 𝒐𝒏𝒍𝒚 𝒆𝒙𝒊𝒔𝒕 𝒊𝒏 𝒂 𝒇𝒂𝒓𝒂𝒘𝒂𝒚 𝒅𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒎."
'Mei' that's what he calls me, my special nickname given by him
Right now I am in corridor of second floor walking towards my class while looking outside the corridor window that's when he called me
I turned to see he and our senpai (senior) walking towards me
I thought it would be some sort of school work in which they wanted my help but things went unexpected
Kajiwara Masaaki
Mei, meet Yasui Senpai, we both are dating now
I was taken back by that sentence
That sentence caught me off guard
I knew someday it would happen but who would have thought that that 'someday' will come this soon
I felt that there is knot in my stomach and it felt really bad
After 7 year of friendship it was last week when I understood my feelings for him
Sakurai Kyoka
Woah, that's great, who proposed first
Yasui Fuji
It was him who proposed first
When she said that she was blushing both avoided eye to eye contact with me, ofcourse even I avoided it because it would be obvious that I am not happy about this
Sakurai Kyoka
That's quite shocking, I- I mean he never said anything to me about having crush
I tried my best to not let my voice crack but it cracked at end
I didn't like the fact that someone I love or let's say my best friend is standing next to someone else that too introducing her to me saying that she is his girlfriend
It hurts more then I thought it would
Kajiwara Masaaki
It happened fast
Kajiwara Masaaki
Everything happened too fast even I don't know when it all started
Sakurai Kyoka
Well then I am happy for your relationship
I wasn't happy, I felt like getting pierced with needles at same point for thousand time
Sakurai Kyoka
I hope you both stay together and happy with eachother
I didn't like it. I didn't wanted it to happen but it would be too selfish of me wish that they breakup when he is happy
It's too hard to love someone, someone who is too precious to that you can't afford to lose
But if relationship messed up, it's too hard become the same we used to be
Suddenly bell rang indicating that lunch break was over
Yasui Fuji
Ahh... You both should go to class before sensei (teacher) comes
I nodded and waved her hand to say bye
I didn't open my mouth, it would be obvious it would be cracked
Yasui Fuji
Meet you both after school
She smiled brightly, bright enough to make someone's heart flustered, and it did, it did flustered heart of man next to me who was covering his face with hand to cover his blushing, but it was obvious
Sakurai Kyoka
Ahh, someone is blushing, huh
Kajiwara Masaaki
No-No not at all
He stuttered, it was obvious he was in love with her, and she was able to make him blush who was never in love in his lifetime. God, I really wish I was her
Sakurai Kyoka
Let's go to class before sensei (teacher) comes before us
Sakurai Kyoka
I don't want to spend rest of the class outside the door
Kajiwara Masaaki
yeah let's go
I walked ahead of him not besides him, because my tears were threatening to fall but again I can't show him that I was sad right
Next thing I knew was I was in class looking outside the window and sensei (Teacher) was teaching. I wasn't able able to focus in class.
Suddenly door opened. It was Okita
Okita and me aren't that close but we can say that I was the only person who she used talk in whole class
Sensei did nothing but sighed at the sight. She was always late, no matter what happens she would be late, and her this attitude is same since start of first year
Her hands were inside her school skirt's pocket, walking towards her seat which was behind me
Okita Kaori
Your cheeks are stained with tears
She mumbled in open air, but I knew that was to me
She wasn't loud enough that everyone would hear, she was good, but with a rebel personality
Sakurai Kyoka
Thanks for telling
I mumbled back and wiped my cheeks
I wasn't able to see her reaction as she was already in her seat but I could hear her letting out sigh
Clearing my mind I tried to focus in class and I was partially successful

Walking away
"𝑰𝒕𝒔 𝒏𝒐𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒈, 𝑰 𝒕𝒉𝒐𝒖𝒈𝒉𝒕 𝒕𝒐 𝒎𝒚𝒔𝒆𝒍𝒇,
𝑩𝒖𝒕 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒕𝒓𝒖𝒕𝒉 𝒊𝒔 𝑰 𝒘𝒂𝒏𝒕 𝒕𝒐 𝒔𝒕𝒐𝒑 𝒕𝒉𝒐𝒔𝒆 𝒇𝒐𝒐𝒕𝒔𝒕𝒆𝒑𝒔 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒂 𝒎𝒐𝒎𝒆𝒏𝒕"
School bell rang, it was time of club activities
Everyone were packing there bags so was I and so was Kajiwara(ML)
He left the room without giving a single glance at me
Okita Kaori
So did you had a breakup
Sakurai Kyoka
Huh**startled by sudden appearance**
Okita walked over my seat and sat on the table, swinging her legs happily, and looked at me
Okita Kaori
I asked if you had a break up
Okita Kaori
You were crying before
Sakurai Kyoka
No No ; ofcourse no
I quickly completed packing my stuff
It's time for after school club activities
Kajiwara is from student council, Yasui Senpai must be from photography club and I am from Art Club
Okita being Okita didn't join any club
Sakurai Kyoka
Let's go, I am done
As we went outside I saw Kajiwara and Yasui Senpai waiting outside for me
Okita Kaori
I guess your friends are waiting, have fun, I will leave
I held sleeve of her uniform
Sakurai Kyoka
Umm, Masaaki can you go ahead without me, Okita San had some work with me
Yeah we were on first name basis (Only close people call each other by first name in Japan)
Kajiwara Masaaki
Huh, okay but you sure?
Kajiwara Masaaki
We don't mind waiting, right?**he asked Yasui senpai turning his head towards her**
I waved my hand in front of my face to deny
Sakurai Kyoka
I won't bother you, it may take sometime
Kajiwara Masaaki
Alright do you want me to inform aunty(Kyoka's mom)?
Sakurai Kyoka
No No, I will tell her
Kajiwara Masaaki
Alright then, we will be going stay safe
Yasui Fuji
Bye Sakurai San
Sakurai Kyoka
Take care on your way home
They waved at me has we bid bye to eachother
Okita Kaori
So mind explaining me when did I ask for your help
Sakurai Kyoka
I am so sorry
Sakurai Kyoka
I just don't wanted to become third wheeler between them
Okita Kaori
Is that so? I thought you liked him
Sakurai Kyoka
No, No never
I again waved my hand in front of my face frankly
Okita Kaori
I noticed one thing since start of first year
Okita Kaori
Do you want to know what is that
Sakurai Kyoka
Huh**nervous** what is that Okita san?
Okita Kaori
In Osaka, people usually tend to way their hand in front their face whenever they are lying
Okita Kaori
My mom and Sister do that too
Sakurai Kyoka
**extremely nervous**
Okita Kaori
Maybe I am misunderstanding things
The conversation followed by awkward silence
Sakurai Kyoka
umm actually
I was about to tell the truth but suddenly someone interrupted me
Miyasaki Yoshinori
Okita san
She grabbed my arm and started to run
Sakurai Kyoka
Wait Okita san, slow down,I am not able to match your pace
She is a fast runner, which is making it hard to catch up with her
After running for a while, we reached at back of our campus
I was panting because I was never a athlete since young
Okita Kaori
I am sorry if it was all sudden
Sakurai Kyoka
Why did we run
Sakurai Kyoka
and I know that person
Okita Kaori
Yeah, everyone knows him, he is the President of student council
Sakurai Kyoka
Then why were we running from him
Okita Kaori
You know our sensei (teacher) he asked him to babysit me after school
Now I was weird out, I mean is work of student president is to babysit people that to who is this old
Okita Kaori
What I mean babysit is, I have to sit with him in library reading 300 pages thick school rules everyday
Okita Kaori
And he is incharge of insuring that I do it without any fail
Sakurai Kyoka
Wouldn't you get punished for doing this
Okita Kaori
but it would be better if we leave campus before he comes
Miyasaki Yoshinori
Before who comes Okita san
We both snapped our behind to see the owner of familiar voice
Okita Kaori
before you come
Saying that she again grabbed my arm again and started to run again
This time I wasn't ready, I didn't get time to recover from previous run and again
As I said I didn't recover from previous run, I slowed down Okita san and Miyasaki Senpai overtook us and is standing in front of us now
Miyasaki Yoshinori
You can leave miss, I only have work with Okita san
He smiled, which was very sweet, but that only made me feel chills down my spine
Miyasaki Yoshinori
I didn't knew that Okita san had a friend
Miyasaki Yoshinori
Does she also break rules like you do Okita san
His voice was sweet, too sweet to be saying, which brought goosebumps in my skin
Okita Kaori
She isn't included in any thing
Miyasaki Yoshinori
Then why was she running with you
Okita Kaori
Because I had work with her
Miyasaki Yoshinori
Is that so?
Miyasaki Yoshinori
Then I would love to know what is that 'WORK'
Okita Kaori
It's non of your business
Miyasaki Yoshinori
You know miss, You shouldn't be with Okita san, the only thing she is, is a bad influence
Okita Kaori
Tsk, just shut that damn mouth of yours
Okay I had enough of this man,first of his sickly sweet voice and then that creepy sweet smile and now he is saying that with whom should I hang out
Sakurai Kyoka
See Miyasaki kun, I respect your concern about whom I should hang out, but thank you, I like being around with Okita san
Miyasaki Yoshinori
Ohh, its first time I saw someone to talk back to me
