Supersharu Nakama

Chapter 8
Sayonara

"Tsu-chan! Tsu-chan! Matte kudasai!"

Someone called. I turned. It was Ryuu-kun.

"Saa, Ryuu-kun. Doushite?" I asked, smiling despite the problems I had,

"I heard about you, anou, moved." he said,

"Ah, hai. I suppose. But why do you ask?" I asked him. Of course, I wanted to know the answer. It's because it will all depend on his answer. If he would still accept me as a friend or not. It's not that I'm going mushy here. It's just that I just want to expect to be friends with him. If not, more than that... I shook my head on the idea,

"It's because if you're going to move, then you'll have a hard time. I also heard that Kudo-sama's companies are deteriorating." he told me,

Deteriorating? It's not deteriorating, because it already did deteriorate...

"Ah, hai. I suppose. I suppose or conclude that this might be my last day in Hakusenkan. Probably because of the expensive school tuition fee, that is." I told him frankly. And now tears are attempting to go out of my eyes. No. Don't at this time.

"Eh? Demo, Tsu-chan. If you'll transfer, what about the others? Your friends here in Hakusenkan? You're just going to leave us? Tsu-chan, don't be like this." he told me,

"Wakatteru. Demo, we can't afford anymore here at Hakusenkan and they don't have scholarship exams," I told him while I was sadly smiling at the same time,

"Demo... If you must, Tsu. Demo, I hope this won't be saying goodbye to you. No. Not." he told me and left me in the middle of the corridor.

"Ryuu..." I called his name, but I alone can hear myself. I closed my eyes as tears fell down from each eye. I don't want it that my last day in Hakusenkan would be a day where Ryuu and I will have a miscommunication. I won't allow that. But, how can I reach Ryuu that even as the day passes by, there is a lesser chance that we would be friends altogether again.

I sighed and went to my classroom since the bell rang. It was just going to be the same day after all, even if it's my last day. And most of all, I have an open argument with Ryuu. I hope we might see each other in the afternoon and probably talk about it. But there's nothing I can do about it. I suppose.

I sighed and sat on my chair. I wondered. If I'm going to transfer, I'll not be seeing my special friends then. And most likely, since I'm not part of their society, I'll be most likely not going to meet them anymore. I sighed.

Kami-sama, why...

The day ended up so quickly and I went to the gate. It seems I won't be able to meet Ryuu and the other SA members after all. I was hoping to meet them actually for the last time. But I couldn't say sayonara at all.

I went out of the gate and was about to leave when...

"Tsubaki!" a group of people called,

I turned and saw Megumi-chan, Jun-kun and Hikari-chan.

"Saa. Hikari-chan. Megumi-chan. Jun-kun. Nice to see you. I suppose you're getting home already?" I asked them,

all of them nodded in response,

"Saa. Megumi-chan, Jun-kun, where is Ryuu-kun?" I asked them, of course I'm still worried of my best friend. Ok, fine, crush or something...

"He just stayed at the greenhouse for the meantime. It seems that he would stay a bit longer." Jun-kun replied,

I smiled to him and said, "I see. Well, there's nothing we can do about it, neh. Well then, I will be going now."

"Mata ashita Tsubaki-chan!" they said,

Mata ashita. It strucked me so much. I'm afraid I won't meet them already. Moreover, tomorrow.

"Sayonara Hikari-chan, Megumi-chan and Jun-kun," I told them,

"Sayonara? Demo why?" Hikari-chan asked me,

I smiled as I left the question hanging on,
