-Tadase's POV—

I used to think that I made an excuse for myself, especially when I was younger I got to hang out with the girl that I liked so much, until she turned to someone else. I used to tell her all the time that I liked her "Other self", her Amulet heart self, I don't know why, maybe it was because I got to see her in a way I never did or maybe it was because I didn't understand my real feelings.

"Ah Tadase!" I blinked and looked around for the voice that called my name and smiled when I noticed it was Amu.

"Hey Amu, what can I do for you?" I was curious, usually she didn't come looking for me like she used to, since of course she didn't really need me any more.

"I was just looking for you to ask if the English project was due tomorrow or Thursday." Amu asked while waving her composition book around while she talked, I thought it was rather cute. I realized she was waiting for my answer a few minutes after she has asked, or more like stated whatever she did.

"Oh sorry, I'm kind of out of it today," I smiled apologetically, "Due Thursday I think, or at least that's what I remember hearing," How would I know I've been to busy thinking about my mistakes from my past.

"Thank you!" She smiled widely then took her backpack of her back and laid her notebook down to tie her shoe, "I can always count on you…well I guess I should ask if you don't mind me asking pointless questions." Amu rephrased while tying her shoe and standing back up, slinging her backpack over her shoulder.

"Of course I don't mind, come to me any time." I answered, honestly, I missed having her rely on me, I guess I just missed her in general.

"Thanks," She paused and looked at the clock positioned behind me, "Oh hell Ikuto's going to be mad at me if I take any longer," She smiled whenever she said his name and I forced a smile back as she said her good byes and started off down the hall way. I didn't notice until I almost tripped over it that she'd left her notebook, so picking it up and looking after her I was about to call her back when I noticed she was talking to Yaya.

"Maybe she doesn't need it." I said to myself but smiled when I noticed her wave good bye to our old friend, guess it was okay to give it back to her now. My smile faded when I noticed she was talking to Ikuto.

"Hey Amu!" I yelled down the hallway to distract myself from the fact that her face lit up when he took her hand; I almost smiled triumphantly when she looked at me and smiled almost as brightly as she did with him.

"Oh Hey Tadase," Amu said and I noticed Ikuto had a forced looking smile on his face, but Amu elbowed him in the stomach gently when he muttered: "Hey kiddy king." And told him to be nice before turning back to me. Her attention was mine if just for a little bit.

"You forgot your English Notebook." Was all I managed to get out while handing it back to her, I smiled when she smiled, it was almost like in instinct.

"Thanks I would have been looking for this later today!" She said while putting it in her backpack that Ikuto was holding, I wanted to hug her but refrained from it since she was still holding Ikuto's hand so I just settled for a wave and walked back down the hallway.

"Amuuu, Come on if you still want to come to my house if you still want me to help you with Science," Ikuto's voice floated back toward me, and it stung.

"You mean Math," Amu giggled. That stung even more.

"Hey Tadase what's with that look on your face?" I was surprised to see a girl from one of my classes looking at me.

"It's Nothing," ..Yea she's taken now…
