Chapter 1
"Mom! I'm home!"
Principal Minami suddenly heard her daughter's voice calling her. She was in the kitchen making dinner, and then she turned around to talk to her daughter.
"Oh, Kotori dear. Who is this lovely girl with you?" Ms. Minami asked, pointing to the red haired girl beside her daughter. She looks familiar…
"M-Mom, I wanted to ask you something…" Kotori then looked at the ground "Is it okay for two girls to l-love eachother?"
Ms. Minami's eyes widened.
"Is it okay for two girls to love each other, Minami-san?" the red haired girl asked her.
"I guess there's no problem with that…" she then looked at the ground "I confess that I… don't really like men myself…"
"Y-You don't?"
"No…"
After some seconds, the red haired girl spoke up "Me neither…"
"Hey! Mom! Are you hearing me?" Kotori asked, noticing that her mother wasn't answering her.
"O-Oh! Yes dear, what did you say?"
Kotori blushed "I-I asked if it's okay for two g-girls to love each other…"
After a few seconds, Ms. Minami said "I t-think it is…"
After that, Kotori looked at the girl beside her and took a deep breath "Mom, this is Maki-chan… She is my girlfriend…"
Minami's eyes widened. Again "Y-Your girlfriend?!"
"Yes! And I love her, no matter what you say!" after Kotori said that, Maki blushed.
"M-Minami-san… I have to tell you something important…"
Minami-san looked at the red haired girl in front of her confused.
"Oh? What is it Nishikino-san?"
Nishikino-san blushed "I… I love you Minami-san!" she yelled "I love ever since I laid eyes on you!"
Minami-san was speechless. She started to walk towards the other girl. She them reached to grab the other girl's hand.
"Nishikino-san… I love you too…" she then proceeded to kiss the red haired girl. After the kiss, they looked at each other's eyes and Minami-san said "Will you be my girlfriend?"
Nishikino-san then proceeded to hug the gray haired girl "Of course I will!"
"Are you mad at me mom?" Kotori asked with a sad face.
Ms. Minami then smiled at her daughter "Of course not sweetie. As long as you're happy, then I will be happy too." Kotori smiled and hugged her mother. Ms. Minami then turned to the red haired girl "I don't think we've been introduced to each other yet. I'm Ms. Minami, what's your name?"
The girl blushed "I-I'm Nishikino Maki, ma'am…"
"Mom, this is Nishikino-san…" Minami-san said. The gray haired girl's mother then turned to look at Nishikino-san.
"Oh, so you're Nishikino-san! My daughter talks about you a lot".
Nishikino-san then blushed. Holding the red haired girl's hand, Minami-san spoke up "Mom… Nishikino-san and I… are dating…"
The gray haired girl's mother was speechless. After a few seconds of silence, she spoke up. "Did you just say that you're dating this girl?"
"I did. And no matter what you say, I will continue to love her."
"I will not accept this! I can't have my daughter dating another woman!" she yelled, then turned to the red haired girl "Get out of this house right now!"
Nishikino-san then got out of the house, crying.
"My daughter… you're going to that camp I told you about…"
"No! You can't make me go there! You can't! I refuse to do this!"
"You can't fight this, my daughter… you became a stranger to me… dating another woman? I would never accept that! Now go to your room! I don't want to see your face anymore"
"I hate you…" Minami-san whispered, before turning to run to her room.
"Y-You said your name was Nishikino?" Ms. Minami asked.
"Yeah, w-why?"
"N-Nothing…" Ms. Minami then turned to her daughter "Kotori, no matter who you choose to love, I will always support you, okay?"
Kotori then hugged her mother "Thank you mom!"
After that, Kotori and Maki went to the ash haired girl's room, holding hands.
"Nishikino-san…"
"I'm leaving, Nishikino-san."
Nishikino-san looked at her girlfriend with a hurt expression. After a few seconds of silence, she spoke up "W-Where are you going?"
"My mother is sending me to a camp to deal with my… 'Abnormality'…" the gray haired girl responded.
Nishikino-san then started to cry "W-Why…" she then proceeded to hug her girlfriend "Why… don't leave me Minami-san… I love you so much…"
"I love you too Nishikino-san…" She then started to cry too "My mother is forcing me to go…" she looked up at her girlfriend's eyes "But I will think about you every day… I won't forget you… And when I come back, we will be happy again… Just do me a favor okay?" she kissed her girlfriend's cheek "Don't forget me…"
Nishikino-san then pushed her girlfriend into a passionate kiss "I would never!" she said between kisses.
The next day, Minami-san left. She stayed at that horrible camp for three years, but now she was going back home.
She arrived at her house and was greeted by her mother.
"Hello dear. I missed you so much…" her mother said, hugging her.
"I missed you too mom…" the gray haired girl said.
"I believe they took care of your abnormality, right?"
"They did mom…" she lied. In that camp, the only thing that kept her going was the thought of her beloved girlfriend.
"I see. That's great! Then you'll be happy to know that I found a nice man for you to marry."
"Thank you mom…" she didn't like what her mother was doing, but she decided to ignore it. The only thing she wanted to do right now was to see her girlfriend.
"Good… you're a good girl, my daughter"
Minami-san then left her house and went to the Nishikino household. A big, white mansion, with big gates and pretty decorations.
She then rang the house's bell.
After a few minutes, she was greeted by the familiar sight of red hair.
"Hello, how can I help yo-"the red haired girl stopped midsentence. She then had a surprised look on her face.
"Nishikino-san" Minami said, smiling "You look beautiful…"
"Minami-san…!" the red haired girl then hugged the other girl "You came back… I missed you so much…!"
"I missed you too…" she relaxed into the hug "I thought you had forgotten me…" she then proceeded to kiss her girlfriend, but hand in her mouth prevented her to do so.
"Minami-san, I can't do this…" the red haired girl said, starting to cry.
"W-What do you mean?"
"I'm… I'm getting married, Minami-san…"
Silence.
Minami was speechless. She didn't move or speak. All she could do was stare at the red haired girl's face.
"H-How…" she finally said, starting to cry "How could you…?"
"Two years after you left, my father said I would marry a man that was from another rich family… he said that he was a nice guy but… I couldn't do anything, Minami-san… I'm so sorry!" she then took hold of the taller girl's trembling hands.
Minami then let go of the other girl's hand "Nishikino-san… I… W-Why… you…" she then fell on her knees, crying. The red haired girl could only stare at the other girl's pain. It broke her heart. "I… I will be going then…" she got up and turned around "Goodbye, Nishikino-san" she then turned her head to the other girl "I love you… I will always love you…" after that, she walked away.
The red haired girl didn't stop her.
Ms. Minami found herself crying after remembering all those events "Nishikino-san… Do you still think of me the way I think of you? Or have you forgotten about me already?"
She would discover the answer for that question soon enough.
