Haruka's POV:

I looked down at the photo album in my lap smiling a little at the memories it held in there. There were so many photos of me and my obaa-chan, I laughed at one in particular that showed me learning how to play the piano it was the first time obaa-chan ever used a camera because half of her thumb was in it. I could practically hear her voice now asking me how to work it, but of course I was only five at the time and had no idea how it worked either.

Laughing I turned the page and scrolled through the memories but paused when I saw a certain picture. It was of me and two other boys. One had long bright blue hair that reached his small waist, he had golden eyes that matched mine and a big smile that could brighten anyone's day just by staring at it. The other boy was taller than the both of us; considering he was two years older than both me and the boy in the picture it made sense, he had short blue hair too, but unlike the both of us he had light purple eyes. The boy also had dimples, which were hardly shown due to the fact that he almost never smiled. All three of us were playing outside in my obaa-chan's garden the smaller boy had his arm thrown around my shoulders and was bouncing up and down excited because we agreed to play a game that I could not recall at the moment. The other boy was just as excited though he didn't really show it, he was standing slightly behind us with his arms crossed; his bright purple eyes shining with happiness, and he was also trying to hide the smile that was making its way onto his small face.

Their names were Takao Arasake and Shin Honda, they were my childhood friends. Until they moved to a different part of Japan, they never told me why all they said was that they had to go and would never return. But they promised that we'd meet again someday and I believed them, and still do to this day. Because if there was one thing I remember the most about those boys was that they could make whatever seemed impossible possible just by being them.

Suddenly I heard a knock at my door.

"Nanami are you in there?" I heard a voice call threw the door, I carefully placed the photo album down on my bed beside me before standing up and brushing myself off.

"Haru-chan are you in there?" I looked up from the book in my hands to see both Taka-chan and Shi-kun standing there in my doorway looking awfully sad.

"What's wrong?" I asked, the two of them looked at each other for a second before taking a step into my room.

I opened the door to see Syo-kun's bright blue eyes staring at me, his hand raised as if he was just about to knock again.

"Syo-kun" I said surprised, "Is there something I can help you with?"

"Haru-chan" Taka-chan said sitting on the bed next to me, his little legs swinging back and forth due to the fact that his feet did not touch the ground. "We have something important to tell you." He pointed towards his cousin who was still standing in the doorway refusing to look at me.

"We're moving." Shi-kun said trying to stay composed but I could tell he was just as upset as his cousin who was crying next to me.

"Yes actually Shining has called a meeting for all of us and requested you be there as well." He said as I stepped out of my room closing the door behind me.

"Did he say what it was about?" I asked Syo, wondering what was so important that Shining actually had to call a meeting. Usually he just shows up without warning and says whatever he needs to say. He rarely calls a meeting unless he's speaking to one of us individually.

"No." Syo said taking a sideway glance at me as we started picking up the pace a little bit, "He just said that it was very important and it would change the future of STARISH."

I felt my heart drop into my stomach.

"You're moving away?" I questioned Taka-chan knowing the answer even though I asked. I just couldn't wrap my head around the fact that they were going away.

"Yes it's true." He said wetting my shoulder with his tears, "We are moving and we are never coming back." I licked my lips only to taste my salty tears.

"Nanami!" Both me and Syo stopped walking and turned around when we heard my name being called. Only to see the rest of STARISH walking behind us, Ittoki-kun was waving and started to run towards us following him was Cecil, and Natsuki. Ren, Tokiya, and Masato were also following but were walking instead of running, it was obviously because they were more composed ones of the group.

"I wonder what Shining wants from us." Otoya said to me and Syo. I nodded and shrugged as the rest of STARISH finally caught up.

"You look lovely today Little Lamb." Ren said taking a rose out from nowhere and placing it in my hair. I blushed a little as his hand brushed across the side of my face. As soon as we started walking again I could see Masato hit Ren on the back of his head and the two immediately started arguing which made me giggle a bit.

As we were walking I tripped, on nothing. I tripped backwards and fell into something that kind of felt like a wall.

"Nanami!" I heard all the boy yell as I stumbled, they all scrambled to try and catch me.

"Are you okay?" I heard the wall say from above me.

I look up to see that I fell into Tokiya, my face in his chest. I blushed hard and pushed away from him looking down at my black pumps.

"Gomnasai Ichinose-san." I said.

"My, my," I heard Ren say. "I never expected the Little Lamb to be so bold."

I quickly turned around and started walking quicker hoping it would ease some of my embarrassment if the boys didn't see how red my face was.

"Oi! Don't go saying such things to Nanami." Syo said I heard him whack Ren on the head with something.

"Syo-kun put the tree down!" I head Otoya say his voice loud and fearful.

"Awe Syo-chan's so cute when he's so angry." I heard Natsuki shout.

"Let go of me you idiot!" I heard Syo yell. I turned around to see all of STARISH in chaos.

"Hello Haru-chan!" I turned around to Quartet Night standing behind me.

"Hello Kotobuki-sempai." I said smiling at him "What are you guys doing today?" I asked waiting for STARISH to catch up again.

"You're never come back!" I exclaimed looking at the two boys. "No you can't leave me alone"

"Haru-chan" I looked up it was the first time Shin called me that, "I know it's hard but we have to leave. We don't have much choice in the matter." He still refuse to look at me, "We love you Haruka and we don't want to go. But we have to."

I sat there staring at Shin as tears shamelessly fell down his face.

"Since we are STARISH's Sempai's we were called to this meeting as well." Ai said staring at his students with a troubled expression on his face, clearly not enjoying the fact that Syo had just finished trying to hit Ren with a tree and Natsuki was chasing Syo shouting about how cute he is. "Although Shining refused to tell us what it was about though."

"I see." Was all I said before STARISH had once again caught up to me and Quartet Night.

"It's about time you peasants hurried up." Camus said, "We are very busy and don't appreciate you wasting our time."

And on that note we started walking again chatting happily amongst ourselves. I was talking to Otoya about a melody I had stuck in my head for days now but just couldn't find the inspiration to finish it when we stopped in front of Shining's office.

"Haruka." Taka-chan said his voice small but determined. "We will see each other again."

"Whether it be tomorrow, ten years, possibly even a hundred years from now we will see you again." Shi-kun said.

"We promise." Both boys said at the same time.

I looked up at the door before raising my wrist knocking on it…
