Chapter 1
Ritsu POV

School.

How I hated it. Why? Because it was where I could see the reason my heart ached every second of the day. I could see the person that made my heart do a tiny little acrobat routine when I was around her.

Mio Akiyama. She was the reason.

At first as kids, it was just admiration. But it all changed when we got older. Her breasts grew bigger, her curves started showing, and her deep, beautiful black eyes became sharper, more mature. She went from beautiful, to gorgeous. It surprised, even shocked, me when I realized she had grown taller than I was. That made me uncomfortable, so I was determined to grow, even a centimeter.
She may not have noticed, but believe me, everyone else knew. People on the streets would turn and just stare at her. Males would blush, females would whisper in wonder, asking if she was a model. And me? I would be in a complete daze, just seeing her as herself.
