The Art of a Broken heart

Chapter 1: Let's go back to where it started.

"To find someone is to find happiness.
To meet someone is to meet something new.
To discover someone is to discover something you didn't knew.
But to ignore someone is to ignore your feelings towards that person."

It was summer. The fresh sea breeze air piercing through my skin as i let my face slightly out of the window of the car. I came back to my hometown, the Coastal town. I came back together with my mom because she was promoted to her job and of course, i'm transferring to a new school. We arrived to our old house and start unpacking.

"Mom, you know that I don't want to live here anymore so why do we have to go back to this city? I should have live on my own to that apartment." I whined,

"Mai you know I can't leave you alone. Don't worry I already enrolled you to your new school and introduce you to your new dance teacher. Your school day starts the day after tomorrow." Said mom,

I just pout and went to my room then i throw myself on the bed. I don't really wanna go back here. I'm gonna start a new life but everything around is the way it looks in my memory, it seems I went back to the past. I have been living in this small Coastal town before of my fourth grade in primay school. All I recieve back then was gossips and hoaxes. But to be honest, I don't really care of what they say. What I care is the one I trust. But if he isn't trustworthy either, then I have no reason to stay here.

First day of being a senior high student in my new school. I introduce myself.

"Good morning everyone , I am Takeoshi Mai nice to meet you all. Please take care of me."

And luckily the person that I don't want to meet isn't in this class. The bell rang and class ended. I tidied my things and when I stand i dropped my book. The person sitting in front of me picked it up.

"Black roses? You like reading manga!." Said with a cheerful voice.

I smiled and nod. "Mai-san don't put manga in such a conspicuous place you're screwed if the teacher finds out. Several books of mine has been confiscated."

She said while pouting and we smiled at each other. "By the way, i'm Kitayama Ritsu but everyone called me Tsuntsun." And we became friends afterwards. Maybe the new life is better than I imagine.

While walking together we went in to the entrance of a bookshop. "Wow! So many manga!" I said with an amazed look on my face.

I went around the several shelves to look, there i found the book that I wanted to read at the top of the shelf. I stand with with my tiptoe and i lift my hand to reach it. I tried very hard but it is out of my reach. When I gave up, a hand reached it out for me. I turned around slowly and see a very innocent handsome face as he reach the book and his eyes turned to me.

We stand there looking at each other up close and i can't move. I was stunned. The moment I saw his face, I thought that I saw it before . Seeing a familiar face in such a place. A face that I didn't want to see.

"Mai-chan, you should've been grown taller. Even though many years have passed..."

"I have grown taller y'know!!..wait..Y-you...K-kaguyama Tomu-kun?" Is the name that came out of my mouth.

"It's great that you remembered me Mai-chan. But you don't have to wear that shocked look on your face. You're still indomitable, huh" Said with a gentle yet husky voice.

I stepped back and ran out of the shop. I don't know how they react but i didn't dare to look back. I just run and run and I don't know where am I going. I just find myself standing at the sea shore . When I calmed down and relaxed I went home.

The next day, i'm on my way home after school , I walked down the street when someone suddenly attacked me from behind. He covered my mouth and bring me to a dark and narrow place. He pushed me against the wall. I'm scared . I keep my eyes close and keep trembling.

" it's fine its me. I'm sorry for scaring you. I just wanted to talk to you ." I slowly open my eyes."

"Tomu-kun!!?? Are you trying to kill me!!?? I thought i was kidnapped or someone gonna sell me!!" I yelled.

"Yeah, sorry about that. But tell me, why did you ran away from me yesterday?"

--"Don't bother me. I don't want to see you anymore."

--"c'mon...your words hurt my feelings. Don't you remember your childhood friend?"

"We are not friends."

--"who play with me in the playground before? Who catches the crab at the beach with me before?"

I keep silent and looked away.

"Well, you don't wanna see me anymore. You want this right? Forget it. We never met each other."

He said that and walk away without looking back. I just stand there with a teary eyes. Yes, i don't want to see him anymore. I don't want to feel his prescence anymore. Then why? Why do I feel a heavy burden on my chest?
