Chapter 21: 3 years make a big difference.

At a cafe, a girl would be drinking coffee. Then suddenly a girl with blonde hair, a bucket hat, a crop top, and a jacket, with cargo pants would sit down at the table with the girl with brown hair. "Oh my god… Callie!!" Said the brown-haired girl. The two girls would hug. "It's been so long, Nakamura!" Callie said. They would sit back down. "So, I have an announcement.." Nakamura said. Callie would look at her surprised. "I'm starting my own Cafe!!" She said. Callie would have a huge grin. She would stand up and hug Nakamura. Callie would sit back down in her seat and pull out her phone. "What are you doing?" Nakamura asked. Callie would smile. "I'm telling Yuki of course!" she said. Nakamura would look at Callie's phone. She would see the long stream of texts with no response. Nakamura would look up at Callie. She would look concerned.

"I'll talk to him later," Nakamura said. Callie would look at her. "N-No, he's probably just been busy with his family during the summer…" she said. An hour later the girls would be standing at a party. They would both be wearing dresses. "Hey Nakamura, Do you see Yuki anywhere?" Callie asked. Nakamura would shrug. "He'll show up eventually," she said. Suddenly two sophomore-looking teenage girls wearing dresses would run over to them. "You two look so pretty!" said one of the girls. Callie would smile. "Thank you, you two girls look great too," she said. Nakamura would be staring at Yuzuhara standing with a girl with black hair. They would be holding each other. "Who's the girl he's with?" Callie asked. "She's a new student in our class, her name is Helen Ivy," Nakamura said. "They've been dating the whole summer…" she continued. Nakamura would wipe her eyes. Callie would pat her back. Suddenly Akuno would clear his throat on the mic. Everyone would turn toward the stage.

There would be a man in a brown trench coat and black fedora. His face would be covered with a mask. "Welcome to Yuzuhara International!" Akuno said into the mic. "Today is orientation day for the students. We will be bringing the black angels of this year to the stage." Akuno continued. He would clear his throat. "First, Kaki Takahashi!" Everyone would clap. Kaki would walk up onto the stage. His hair would still be as crazy as always except it was shorter than usual. He would shake Akuno's hand. "Second we have… He would look at the card confused. Mr. Clark would walk over and they would whisper to each other. Akuno would clear his throat. "Next is my son, Yuki Yuzuhara!" Everyone would clap. Except for Callie and Nakamura. Callie would walk from the crowd. Nakamura would follow her. They would walk past the man in the fedora. He would look at the two walks into the dorms. The two would enter their dorm. Callie would sit on her bed and start crying. Nakamura would hug her. Callie would mumble something inaudible.

10 Minutes later Callie would stop crying. She would stomp out of their dorm and go up the stairs. She would open the door to the second floor of the dorms. She would walk over to Yuzuhara and Ivy's dorm. She would slam the door open. Yuzuhara and Helen would be in bed together with the sheets covering them. The two girls would cover their eyes. A few seconds later Yuzuhara would have a collared shirt and slacks on. He would pour some sake in 4 cups. "So you two must be here to ask about my stupid Half brother?" he asked. "Yeah, why the hell did you get his spot on stage!?" Callie asked. Yuzuhara would sigh. Helen would sit down next to him. He would wrap his left arm around her shoulder. "What if Yuki decided not to show this year?" he said. Callie would look at him confused. "He wouldn't!" she said. Yuzuhara would shrug. "Hey there is always the possibility that he wanted to stay with his family," he said. Callie would look shocked.
