Nene POV:
The bus ride back home was quiet and uneventful; a few months ago, what I wouldn't have given for a moment of peacefulness, but now I couldn't help but wish someone would talk and drag me back to earth from my own swirling thoughts.
I shouldn't have done that. I shouldn't have said a thing to Hanako about the girl. I was, after all, being a hypocrite. Each thought of Kai made my fists curl and my eyes fill with tears that wouldn't drop.
Finally, when I made it back to my house, I was suprised to see Kai at my doorstep, looking almost as furious as I felt with myself.
"Where were you, Nene?!" He demanded. "I sent you a text but you didn't reply so I came here and your sister said you weren't home. We were going to go to the movies, how could you just dump me?"
"I wasn't dumping you!" I cried, shocked. "I just went out of town for a bit! You never told me we were going to the movies!"
"I told you about an hour ago! I sent you a text!" Kai said angrily.
"An hour ago! You can't just make last-minute plans! I was already far out of cell phone wifi an hour ago!" I said furiously. Suddenly, all of Kai's appeal to me was gone in an instant and I felt immensly stupid for ever liking him.
"I can make plans whenever I want; I'm always the one treating you, aren't I?" Kai said scornfully. "You never pay for anything. You just take me for granted, do you? Where were you, anyway?"
"I never pay for anything because you don't let me!" I shouted, ignoring his question. "And I don't take you for granted; how could I, with my sister nagging me about you all day long?!"
"Your sister, Kira, clearly likes me. She couldn't get off me when I asked her about you just then." Kai said triumphantly. "You just be grateful I haven't dumped you and gone off with Kira yet. She's quite pretty, you know."
"I don't care if you dump me right here," I shot back. "You don't just make desicions for me. I can go where I want. Kira can date whomever she likes, and you can go off with whomever YOU like! But don't you forget just a day ago I was the girl you wanted to go off with; look at you, you switch girlfriends like Kira changes shoes."
"You watch your mouth," Kai snarled. "You're just a stupid, petty little girl who can't anything without me. Your family's not well off, not nearly as rich as your little clique at school. I could leak all your secrets to your rich friends anytime I wanted."
"They're not my clique," I replied, thinking miserably of Aoi. "And I don't care what they think about me, either. You can get off my doorstep, now."
Kai stomped out of my front garden, making a point to trod on my mini vegetable garden. "Fine. Have it your way. I'm breaking up with you."
"Like I haven't already figured that out," I muttered, and walked off furiously, unsure where I was going; all I knew was that I wasn't going back where he was.
Hanako POV:
Renee's hand was ice-cold as I led her back into my bathroom, far, far away from Yashiro, who still stood frozen in the vegetable patch.
Finally, when the door was safely locked, I released her hand and she stumbled back.
"I'm so sorry, Renee-chan," I said, scrubbing a hand over my face, exasperated, "I didn't know she was going to come."
"You're a... a two-timer?" Renee said, looking confused and hurt.
"No!" I said, horrified. "Of course not. I always thought.... I always thought Yashiro had left me, after she stopped contacting me... ignoring my messages... I thought us as broken up. That's why I... I let you.. no, I let us become this."
"Oh." Renee looked slightly relieved. "Oh, well, if you didn't know.... but I do feel quite bad for that Yashiro girl. She was rude; she called me an oddball, you know, but she had brought donuts for you, and she looked like she misunderstood... oh I'm sure if you just apologised..."
"I'm not apologising." I said bitterly. "She hasn't talked to me in months and she thinks she can come stumbling back in here, claiming ownership on me? If anything I'd say she was just back for Kou."
"But she's left already." Renee murmured, looking out the bathroom window. I floated to her side and looked out; the window had a perfect view of the vegetable gardens. Sure enough, Yashiro was nowhere to be seen, the basket of donuts still lying on the floor.
I stared at the basket.
Yashiro and I would never be the same again. My heart ached at the thought of it; not only she was gone but also our memories, our time together, our friendship; she hated me now, and nothing I did could change that.
But that was the point. If things couldn't be fixed, I didn't want to try and fail. If anything, I would forget.
Eventually, I thought, as I looked at Renee, her sapphire-blue eyes twinkling like stars of the future- a future that might, I thought, not include Yashiro in it for the first time since I met her.
A/N: I know the comments are going to attack Kai. Please, I welcome you with open arms, do so because he is an absolute idiot and deserves all the hate he gets. (Poor heartbroken Hanako deserves all the love he gets (even if it isn't from Nene) and poor helpless Nene will soon fix her mistakes (hopefully)
