ˑ༄ؘMiyawaki Sakura¹༄ؘ ˑ

When you entered one of Japan's top universities, you thought it would be difficult because your language skills weren't very good, but then you met her—Sakura. She was the only one who approached you and spoke to you. She seemed like a sweet and kind girl: always helping and making sure you settled into your new surroundings.

Now that you were both in your third year, everything had changed. You began to communicate less. She was distant, citing a ton of exams and saying she couldn't spend as much time with you as before. Frankly, it hurt: over those three years, you'd grown very attached to her and even started to have feelings for her. And she ignored you as if you were strangers.

On your way to the library, you spotted Sakura with a group of girls; she was laughing and smiling. Walking closer, you touched her shoulder to get her attention. When she turned around and saw you, the smile disappeared almost instantly. She crossed her arms over her chest and sighed in exasperation.
"Oh my God, will you stop following me around like a puppy? Do you really think I care about you enough to spend all my time with you? Grow up," she said, causing her new friends to laugh. In this group, she seemed like a completely different person. This wasn't the Sakura you knew. Or maybe you never really knew her.
