Ichigo's POV
After crying my eyes out I went back to the girl's dorms, sitting with Vanilla in the bed I couldn't help but cry again " Come on Ichigo you have to be strong" Vanilla said trying to comfort me "What should I do Vanilla" I said bringing my knees to my chest and hugging them "We should leave that's what we should do!" she said determined "And stop making sweets! NEVER!" I told Vanilla disagreeing and shocked at what she had said "I don't mean you should give up on your dreams, I mean we should go to another culinary school" she said seriously with her chubby index finger out.
"But I don't want to leave you behind Vanilla! You are my partner, best friend, and family, I would NEVER leave you behind!" I told her ready for round 3 for a river of tears "You won't have to leave me because I'm going with you" she said putting her chibi hands on her hips "Wha-Wait but I thought you sweet spirits were only part of St. Marie Academies?" "Yeah, we are but recently the Queen has made an agreement with the principles of different culinary schools to help sweet spirits fulfill their culinary dream, and by doing that both sweet spirits and humans help each other achieve their dreams, and as you can see, there is no problem at all."
'I can't believe it, thank you, sweet spirit queen!' "That's perfect Vanilla" I told her hugging her "Well then, what school do you plan to transfer to?" "I don't know, maybe I'll research some schools at home, so first I'll need to call mom, tell her what happened, write a letter to leave school, and finally wait to be accepted" I said told vanilla my plan having my phone in hand ready to make the call home.

"Pheww, done" "So what did your mom say?" Vanilla said curious, hoping my mom understood why I wanted to transfer "She didn't like my decision at first but when I told her about Miura and that my friends betrayed me she understood and agreed." "Yay!! Come on Ichigo hurry! Start writing that letter!!" "Mm, You're right" "GO GO ICHIGO!!" Vanilla said cheering me on.

After finishing the letter I stretched my arms "Vanilla I finished....Vanilla?" I repeated "Wher is Vanilla?' "vanilla! vani-" I whispered since Rumi was asleep and I stopped searching for Vanilla because she was also asleep in my bed I just smiled, and then I remembered Henri-sensei. 'I should make a letter for him too'.
'Dear Henri-sensei,
By the time you receive this letter, I will no longer be attending St. Marie. I can not say why now but I will tell you in the future when we meet again. I'm sorry if I disappointed you in any way by leaving St. Marie even though you recruited me, I will always be grateful for such an opportunity and experience that I have received during my stay in St. Marie. Please don't worry, I'll be okay, and by leaving St.Marie it doesn't mean I'll stop making sweets, I'll be sure to go to another culinary school.
With love,
Amano Ichigo'
Getting up and walking towards the room's window I look at the night sky and admire the stars and suddenly I see a shooting star, I smile so big and put my hands together and start making a wish. 'I wish that where ever I transfer to I meet new people, new friends that won't betray me and love me and that Vanilla and I will be happy there'.

Next Day

Finally, my letter was accepted, I had to give it personally to the principal since I was in a hurry and I wanted to leave as soon as possible.

Flashback/ In the Principal's Office

"Wha- Ichigo-chan are you sure about this?" "Yes sir, and I would appreciate it if you accept it, Please Do!" I said bowing "Ho ho ho, Very well if you won't regret it and if that's what you really want?" "I won't, this is truly what I want" I told him still bowing "Alright, consider your letter accepted, anything else?" "Yes, if it's not a problem can you send Henri-sensei a letter for me?" I said now looking at him nervous "Might I ask why?" "Well, I can send it but, well I thought it would reach him much faster if the principal sent it. Oh but I understand if you can't!" I finished flustered "Ho ho ho, I will try my best" "Ah! Thank you sir" I said doing a quick bow and turning around to leave "Ichigo-chan" the principal called out, I turned around and faced him and with a smile, he told me "St. Marie will always welcome you with open arms. Good Luck" "Thank you sir" I said with a sad and grateful smile.

End of Flashback

I was packing my things when Rumi entered the room "So, you're really leaving" "I'm sorry Rumi, I know it's not your fault nor it's the fault of the academy but I need this" "I understand Ichigo-chan" "Just promise me you'll keep in touch" Rumi said hugging me "I will" I told her holding back tears while hugging her back "I swear I'm going to give those stupid prince's and Miura a piece of my mind!" she said ending the hug, beginning to be fired up and doing a fist "Don't just ignore them and if they ask about me... say you don't know what they are talking about" "Geez, you are super nice for your own good" Rumi said scratching her hair "It's not that, it's just I don't want to get you mixed up in this mess" "Okay, well I have to get to class, I'll miss you" Rumi said giving me a last hug -ding dong ding dong- "Go, I'll be alright, I'll text you later" "Promise" she said holding her pinky out "Promise" I said connecting my pinky with hers "Bye" "Bye" we both waved at each other.
"Are you done packing Ichigo?" Vanilla said flying next to me "Yeah, I-just-need to-close-the luggage MMmm-oof...done" I said finally forcing the luggage to close "At what time are we leaving?" "After school, so we don't bump with Miura or those three jerks so we better get some sleep, it's going to be a long trip" "Agreed" Vanilla said and we both took our last nap in St. Marie Academy.

4hours later

We had woken up 2 hours ago, and we spent 1-hour hiding and sneaking out of St. Marie so the three jerks wouldn't see us and now we have been waiting for 1-hour for the bus that will take us to the train station. After waiting for another 30 min the bus stopped and I got in, Vanilla was in my purse which was zipped halfway so she could breathe and nap if she'd liked to.
"Are we there yet?" "Only 20min more Vanilla" "Okay, wake me up when we get to the train station" "Yeah, sure"

"We're here Vanilla!" "Mmm? Oh, how long is the ride going to be?" "Like another 20 or 30 min" "Does your mom knows that you are coming home? Why couldn't she pick you up from St. Marie?" Vanilla asked while I got on the train to go home "She said she would but I declined, she said why and I told her that I needed time alone to think, but she said she would pick me up from the train station" "Mmm, I'm here for you Ichigo!" "Thanks, Vanilla"

-Brrrr Brrrrr- "Hello? Mom, Ah yeah I see you!" I answered and finished the call "Hi mom!" "Ichigo, how are you?" "I'm better, had a lot of time to think, it helped thanks mom" "No problem honey" mom said hugging me and kissing my forehead "Come on, I haven't talked to your father or your sister about you coming home. Dad is working and Natsume is still in school, they're going to be so happy when they see you!" She said smiling while she started the car "Then let's give them a surprise, I'll help you make dinner and some desserts" I offered "Alright let's go grocery shopping!" She said making a turn, driving to the store. I turned around facing the open window feeling the cold breeze that hit my face, I closed my eyes, and with a small smile and a tear that was whisked away by the wind, I said 'Good-bye-' "St. Marie".
