Claire watch him as he stares at her.

Of course, she's with Roderick,

Staring at the silver dyed hair guy, who was watching the smiling couple, Claire watch him as he looks away,

She watches him walk away and clench his teeth, as if he regrets doing nothing.

She watches him as he walks away chuckling bitterly, walking away, scratching the back of his head.

With that she enters the scene.

"Hey Gil!"

Claire walk beside him, catching his pace, and when he realizes she can't catch up, he walks slowly.

"Quit calling me that annoying nick name, Claire"

He said rolling his eyes

Claire watch the bird aka Gilbird his pet, landed on his head. With a giggle she scoops the bird on his head and set in on her shoulder earning 'Hey' from the certain owner

Slowly backing up as he continues to talk about his daily life, he didn't realize she was already falling behind him, glancing at the bird on her shoulder, she let out a deep sigh.

They're childhood friends, Claire always stick with Gilbert who was the cocky child across the street, Claire watch him hanging out with Eliza, the girl with a curly brown hair that lives a few blocks away. She was there to watch them argue about some pointless shit, she did try to cut them off but both of them was to stubborn to listen to her.

She was always there for him, but he was too stupid to notice that, she was always there, that time when the whole football team was against him because he couldn't score a single thing, Claire was always on his side whether it's wrong or right, She was there to watch that one time where Roderich the other teams football captain together with his new girlfriend Eliza beat his team up, She was there to help him babysit his baby brother, Louis. She was always there for him.

And now, admiring his back, she couldn't help but to let out a chuckle. Bitterly.

She wishes he would look at her the same way he looks at Eliza, being too stubborn to admit, or he was just dumb to realize he has feelings for her.

She didn't realize she couldn't pick up with his pace anymore. The distance between the two of them is now 7 meters, with Gilbird tweeting to get her attention, but Claire was so deep in her thoughts to notice that, before she knew it, she already stops walking. Making the distance between the two 10 meters.

With her ginger hair being blown backwards because of the wind breeze together with her coat.

"Claire"

She blink.

Looking at the man 10 meters away from her, his dyed sliver hair swaying because of the wind, so as with his cape.

She wishes he could look at her like that, she wishes he could love her, just as much as she loves him. But

"Why'd you stop? Let's go"

For now.

"Whatever you say Gil"

She roll her eyes playfully at him

She was contented.
