"Takashi......"
"Yes, I am here."
"I am going to London next year..."
In Takashi's mind, there was only this sentence left, he couldn't think of anything, just Yui. It is just like the world is going to end, and he feels like he has no more hope in this world.
"Hey Takashi, wanna play games together after school?" Hinata asked.
"Nah, I don't wanna play."
"Oh.. ok then, if you have any problems just find me, I can help, bye then."
Hinata left and Takashi was still sitting in the classroom. No one thinks that is weird, because he has done this for 2 weeks already.
The next day, when they were having maths lessons, Yui suddenly asked Takashi a question.
"Hey, Takashi, wanna have a match?"
Takashi was still sad, but because that's Yui, he decided to play with her."
"the one who gets tricked loses." Yui said
"Oh ok." Takashi didn't even think about winning, he was just thinking about how to make Yui stay.
"Oh wait, I want to go to the washroom first. give me a second."
"Sensei! Can I go to the washroom please?"
Before Yui left Takashi asked her something
"Ah.. Yui, can I borrow your eraser?"
"Sure!"
After Yuileft, Takashi took Yui's eraser and he used it to erase the wrong solution of his math question.
But then, he carelessly dropped the eraser and he discovered something.
His name was on her eraser..... and that's mean.......
And according to their tradition, if someone’s name was written on an eraser, the one who writes it has a crush on he or she.
"Hi Takashi, let's continue our race!"
At this moment, Takashi's mind goes blank, he couldn't think of anything, but just the eraser.
"Sorry,Yui, I am a bit sick, I wanna rest......" Takashi returned the eraser and kept on doing his own things
"Ok then........" Yuii seemed to be a bit sad but she knows that Takashi is sad because she has to leave.
After school, when Takashi was about to leave, Hinata found him and have a little talk
"Hey Takashi, are you ok?"
"Yeah... i am fine....." Takashi said it in a depressed voice.
"I know, it must be Yui, isn't it?"
"Yeah..... so what......"
"You like her didn't you?"
"........"
"Go and confess to her then."
"Why?"
"Because you like her!!! go!"
"She won't accept it, she doesn't like me."
"Hey, don't lie!!! you feel that too don't you? she likes you!! Why would a girl stay with a boy for a long time? I think you have the answer.”
At this moment, what's going on Takashi’s mind is the eraser, the name on Yui's eraser is himself, and that's mean, he can confirm the one Yui likes is him. but........
He doesn't want her to leave, he is afraid, he is afraid that Takagi will be sad after she goes to London.
"So what?!?!? That doesn't change anything!!! from now on, I don't like her anymore ok? I HATE HER!!!!!!!!" Takashi shout out loud
Hinata stood still and he seemed to be shocked.

When Takashi turns back, Yui is standing right behind him.
Yui cried. For the first time, she cried at school. And this time Takashi knows that he hurts her a lot, but he never wants to apologise, because that's what he wants.
Make Yui hate him. and forget him.
But is that really what he wants? Is that really good for both of them?
Hinata walks toward Takashi and said
"You still got one week man, treasure your time and make the best ending." Hinata walked away and there was only Takashi left in the corridor.
What will he do? How will their junior high school life end? What is Takashi thinking?
