Meanwhile, Kei prepares her things as the chimed rang, indicating the class is already ended. This is the time she will going to see Kira again, a freshman. Kei’s been looking forward to the end of the class; she can’t wait to see him.

“Kei…” Kagome approached her since they’re sitting side by side. “Let’s go home, shall we…?” Kei giggled. Since this morning, the overwhelming feelings to see Kira gets her going.

She knew this is really love, and she really likes Kira as a guy.

“You’re enthusiastic, huh…?” a girl approached her table. Her style is as neat as Kei, and gives a good moral student vibe on her looks. She’s wearing thick framed glasses, hair tied up in ponytail.

Having pairs of eyes in brown color, her cute looks makes some of the guys took a glance at her. “Ah! Sakura…” Kei greeted. Asahina Sakura (朝比奈桜) , Kei’s classmate and an honor student in their year.

They have been classmates since middle school, so their closeness is inevitable.

“Not at all.” Kei added, as she smiles. “Really, when our Kagome here is sulking. Must be something about a guy, huh?”

Sakura utters as she glances at the two. Kei blushes as Kagome avoided her eyes. These two seemed hiding something from her. Sakura giggles at both of them. “You two are cute, you know…?”

“What are you saying?!” Kei protested, showing bashfulness. “And I bet that first year is the one you’re giddy about, huh?”

Sakura grins, Kagome’s eyes widened as she heard it. All of their classmates knew that Kei is a friendly girl for everyone. She’s always has been, but not shown any interest in opposite sex.

Until such time that one day, she’s walking with a new face on the way to school, knowing that guy is a first year.

Most of their classmates thinks Kei is pristine student. She’s like a peak of flower bloomed at the top of the hill. A refined lady, yet a friendly person for everyone. But now… that changes because of that first year boy.

“So, what’s his name?” Sakura asked. Kei nudged both of her fingers. “It’s not what you think of! I mean, we’re not dating…. yet.”

“Huh? Seriously?!” Sakura grunted. She seemed disappointed from Kei’s answer. Not dating yet, huh?

“But you have plan to ask him to go out with you, right?”

Sakura continues, as she smirks. Right now, all the words she said heard clearly by Kagome. And that made her leer to see the expression of the girl. She had a hunch that Kagome likes Kei.

Sakura isn’t contrary in the same sex relationship; she’s open with the idea, but her preference is naturally a guy who can provide all of her needs as a woman. However, what Kei doesn’t realize is that the girl who is always with her bears romantic feelings.

“Ah, before I go home… I will go to the toilet first!” Kei stands on her chair and dashes out of the classroom, leaving Sakura and Kagome together. Both of them nods and watches Kei leaves.

“Do you know that guy?” cracking the silence, Sakura asked Kagome. That question made her look at the girl, upturned. “What?” Kagome asked.

“The guy Kei likes… what kind of person is he?”

The question lures to Sakura shows wonder, as Kagome clenched both of her hands. She doesn’t want to answer. Because if she did, the feeling of inferiority will arise inside her.

She knows Kira isn’t trying to steal Kei away. He explained that he’s trying to make them get closer together. Yet, Kei doesn’t seem to know what he is doing in order to avoid her.

“Hey,” Sakura then gaze at Kagome.

“Huh?” she asked.

“I know you like my friend, and I’m happy if she likes you too, the way you like her.”

A sudden word came out from her. Kagome heeded those words perfectly, making her whole body jolts out. “What…?”

Sakura grins. “It’s kind of obvious that you like, no… you love her as a woman. Because I’ve been looking at your reaction when we’re talking that guy.”

Sakura sees through her hidden feelings. That’s the first time someone sees her true nature. Kagome sighs in resignation, as Sakura faces her. “You know, I will be happy which Kei chose to be with. Might be you or that guy.”

Kagome looked at her straight in the eyes, as she proceeds. “But whoever Kei chose in the end, I hope that you can still stay by her side, okay?”

Sakura passionately smiles at Kagome and leaves their place. She carries the bag hanging on the table and exits the classroom. “I’ll see you tomorrow, Kagome.”

Leaving the classroom, Sakura waves as Kagome watches her walked away. Right that moment, Kei came back from the toilet.

“Eh? Sakura already left?”

“Uh… yeah, she has plans to attend, so…” Kagome replied. Though, she smiles at Kei, the words left by Sakura made her heart quiver. Kei really sure in love with Kira now, but she can’t just let her go yet.

“Let’s go home, Kagome. We’ll see Kira in his classroom.” Kei offers.

”Ah, yeah… I’m coming.” Kagome stands up, getting her bag hanging on the table.

Right. Now, Kei is undeniably in love with Kira, but that doesn’t mean I’ll give up on her. Not this time, because I know there’s still a chance for me to be with Kei.

Though she recalled what Sakura said, Kagome still is determined to swoon Kei with her real feelings. Be it with Kira or any other person, she won’t intend to lose.

This will be the time she must confront her feelings, the person she loves the most.
