"Atsuko, I want to tell you that the future me doesn't want to speak to you. Yes, I'm from the past," She said.

I looked at her, puzzled and shocked. 

"Hey, what happened to my friends in the present?" I asked.

"You will have to somehow find a way to talk to them about that," she explained. "I gotta go, you're past self is calling me." 

Then she disappeared. "Nanami.. I miss walking to school with you, hanging out with you, and I miss seeing your smile," I thought to myself, trying not to burst into tears.

I wandered all over the town, thinking about everything that happened.

I wanted my friends back. Hayato, even though he was a friend, was not as fun as Nanami to hang out with.

I also missed Ichika, I felt like she had left me. I felt like she was more important than anybody. Ichika was the same age as me, and I loved her.

Just then, Ichika stepped up to me, her bangs parted to the side with a hair clip. 

"Ichika, I missed you!" I said, crying.

Ichika looked at me and said, "Atsuko, it's going to be ok, I know your friends have betrayed you but I think I have a plan." 

"What sort of plan?"
