Estelle is his one and only best friend since he was a child... they both lived in miyagami and are both studying at miyagi highschool.
*Opening classes...*
"Hey Estelle what's up... while he rubs her head"
"I'm fine, nothing unusual happened... she answered indifferently as if she was used to it"
"oh really?..he answered with a smirking face, anyways which class are you in? I'm at class 1-A he said"
"Same... she answered"
"ALL STUDENTS MUST PROCEED TO THE GYMNASIUM AS WE START OUR OPENING CEREMONY... I REPEAT ALL STUDENTS MUST PROC..."
"Estelle let's go were gonna be late on our opening ceremony he said...
He grabs her hand while running towards the gymnasium"
"Wa-wait... huff.. huff.. she said while running out of breath.
You.. su-re... huff...are...energetic...huff She said while panting"
"Oh come on we just ran a little... he said while smiling so brightly"
"She stares and turned away while she blushes"
*Notices*
"Anyway could you please let go of my hand... she said it with a plain face and while pointing at his hand as he is holding her"
"Ah?.. oh!.. hehe sorry my bad he said while smiling"
*In her imagination*
"I hope this year will be a little more normal..."
"while she looks at Ethan surrounded by girls.... in a second of silence..."
"maybe not... she answered as if she already knew what will ganna happen from that day on."
*As the school starts*
"teacher: ok I will only check the attendance for today... coz we're busy arranging the documents for the other transfer students... so while keeping you busy why don't you decide for a temporary president, vise-president and secretary..."
"Ash right?.. you're the top student this year. please take the lead in arranging the temporary officers... so that things will be a lot more easier... the teacher said while leaving"
"y-yes sir... Ash said"
Ash is the top student this year... he is smart and kind, he is handsome too but he always wear eyeglasses, he lacks of confidence... he is distancing himself to anyone because he thinks that everyone are all the same, that everyone only wanted to be friends with him for benefits because he has good grades... that's why he is always alone and always reading books... so most of the people around him thinks that he is a freak, a nerd and they doesn't respect him as the top scorer and fellow student.
"Um E-everyone... with ash stuttering words and shy look
w-who wants to volunteer for being the temporary president?"
*No one listens to him*
I should say they intentionally don't want to listen to him
"Estelle notices him and he wanted to help him voice out but the girl beside her talked first before her"
"EXCUSE ME... Everyone! she said"
"If you don't want to listen to the person infront of us, please be quiet... you're disturbing others. she said while holding a book and wearing an earphone"
*Everyone went silent and goes back to their sits whispering...* "Wow she is really beautiful, isn't she the second on this years ranking Ahira Tensei..."
"she is just next to Ash for a few points behind... "
"she's really pretty... I think I've fallen in love at first site."
*almost everyone are talking about her as she just ignored them and only minding her own business*
*while Estelle secretly stares at her in silent at her own sit*
...
*Estelle stares at Ahira*
*In Estelle's head... Wow she's really cool... I- wish I could be as cool as her... She said it in her thoughts"
"Estelle notices that Ethan is staring her then he smiled while turning away"
"Estelle widened her eyes while turning away her head in the opposite direction of Ethan's seat"
"what?... what was that? she said with an anxious feeling deep inside her"
*after class*
"hey youre really slow...Ethan said it to Estelle"
*Estelle can feel that her body is really tired after such a short walk... she can feel that she can hardly breathe and this situation was already 3 months before....
*she knew that something is wrong but she ignored it and said maybe I need more exercise, yeah that's right... she said to herself*
*As day passed by by she noticed that her eyesight also becoming blurry and her surrounding is turning around*
"crap not again... I've been feeling dizzy more often this days ... but I don't want to worry my dad he is already doing his best for me... she said it in her thoughts"
"Estelle are you alright... Ethan said to Estelle"
"Y-yeah I-im alright it's just that I felt... a little dizzy "
"Are you ok? do you want to go to the hospital or something? he asked with a worried face"
"H-hey let me carry you... I-i will walk you home, just in case...
He said it as he blushes with a shy looking face"
"Estelle's heart beats faster"
"Ugh wh-whats this?... My heart is acting strange... he said it in her thoughts as she secretly blushes too"
*Ethan carried Estelle and they reached Estelle's house*
"Estelle were here... Ethan said to her as he looked at her in the back while he is carrying her"
*He widened his eyes... he was shocked as he see's Estelle in her condition*
"huff... huff...huff..."
*Estelle could hardly breathe while having a very high fever.*
*Ethan brought Estelle into the hospital and immediately informing Estelle's dad*
"Her dad arrived 30 minutes after"
"Ethan what's wrong with Estelle... his father asked Ethan with a worried face"
"I don't know... the doctor said the family should know this first he said it to Estelle's father"
"Doctor... her father said"
"what's wrong with Estelle... her father asked the doctor"
*while her father is chatting with the doctor*

"Dad, I-i don't... What's this?.... I don't want this... dad what should I do!... what should I do dad!?... she said it while crying hard and with a panick in her face and while struggling in her bed."
"Estelle...My baby, I will find a way ok?... I will find a way... Don't worry... her father said it to Estelle to comfort her"
"Dad... UuwaAaah... they both cried"
*In the morning*
"while at the hospital...*

*A moment later*

"W-well that... I-it... it's... Estelle said it with a nervous face when suddenly Ethan's phone rang."
"Bzzzztt! bzzzt! bzzzzt! bzzzt"
"your phone rang, you should answer it first... she said it to Ethan
"Can I?... Ethan asked Estelle"
"Y-yeah... sure you can answer it first, maybe it's something important... Estelle said it to him"
*Thanks, it won't take a long time... he said it while he turned around and walked outside the door*
*the room filled with silence*
*in Estelle's mind*
"what should I do? I can't tell him... I should tell him as soon as possible.... with both hand placed in her head while grabbing her hair"
*A moment later*
