CHAPTER 1

Yuuta's POV

I squint as a ray of bright morning light flashes down my face. She chose her chuunibyou. 'Good morning' Kuzuha yawned as she walked down the stairs. 'Morning' I answered, still not raising my head as I continued to read today's newspaper. Another robbery next to our neighborhood. And I thought it would be quiet here…'What's wrong?' Kazuha looked at me clearly worried. She chose her chuunibyou. 'Nothing, I'm fine'. 'You don't look fine' she said frowning a little. I lifted my head and faked a sunny-apologize smile 'Sorry, I just didn't have enough sleep today'.' You stayed up late again,huh?' she nodded to herself as she started pouring milk into her cup. She chose her chuunibyou. 'Ah, right!' Kuzuha suddenly raised her head 'Rikka asked you to wake her up before noon, you know, or else she'll lay in bed the rest of the day…'

I nodded. 'Yeah, sure'. Kazuha smiled. 'Thanks! I just couldn't wake her up so early'. 'Well, then…I'm off to Mika's. Just as planned I'll stay overnight.' She hesitated a bit at the doorstep. 'Have fun'. I lifted my head and once again faked a bright smile. The noise of Kazuha shutting the door resounded through the completely silent house. Success. My little sister didn't notice anything. I finally relax. I'm alone, Rikka sleeping upstairs isn't really counting, as she always sleeps very well and doesn't hear anything. I close my eyes. My head's about to explode. She chose her chuunibyou over me. I clench my fists and close my eyes tighter. Her words still echo in my mind. 'I choose… my chuunibyou…'. Her words, no, Rikka's words- will they ever leave my mind? Or will I go insane, repeating- she chose her chuunibyou?

I blinked slowly. Maybe it's all a dream? No, I clearly remember it. I remember how Rikka's hair swung slowly by the wind as she shouted out those words into the starry night. She saw me then. Something changed between us since then. I didn't talk much with her since then. She always did, like nothing happened. Everything that I loved about her disappeared. All I see in her now is her annoyingness and lies. My eyes suddenly widened.

'…Our contract is over'

'She chose her chuunibyou….'
