Ibukis pov

I walked down the hallway with a newfound determination in my heart. After a lot of pushing from kokichi and kazuichi I finally mustered the courage to confess. No going back. No backing down.

The plan is a simple one. I put a note in her locker asking her to meet me at the cherry blossom tree. There I will confess my love. It's perfect. Just like something out of a romcom!

And so I waited..

And waited...

And waited.....

Eventually an hour had passed and mikan had not yet arrived. I folded my arms as I leaned against the tree. Why isn't she here? I can't imagine she blew me off. My angles far too nice for that! I know she must have gotten lost. I'll go look for her.

I ran down the hallway looking for her. I got yelled at by a hall monitor with large eyebrows but I didn't stop. After all all that matters is finding mika-

"hehehe" I stopped in my tracks. I recognise that voice! I peaked over to find mikan holding my letter while talking to a girl with pigtails.

"please meet me at the cherry blossom tree for something important. Oh this must be from ibuki. Only she would have such terrible handwriting"

I clutched my chest. I don't understand. Why is she being so cruel?

"that ibuki girl must have a crush on you" the pig tailed girl grinned.

She stared at her for a moment before she burst out laughing "like I'd ever return those feelings! I'd never love someone as pathetic as her! I only have eyes for you my beloved" she stared at her dreamily.

"eh that's nice I guess" she shrugged.

I couldn't take it anymore. I ran away and hid in the broom closet. There I let out all my pain and sadness. For my love will never return my feelings and I am alone once again...
