The plot was confusing several people, so just to make things clear- he left her because he didn't think he was good enough, but she thinks he left her because he doesn't love her anymore. So she's looking back on the past.
She sits in her chair, and stares down at her paper. She bites her lip in frustration, and impatiently brushes away a loose hair. She can’t concentrate. She stands up and puts her homework in her book bag. I’ll do it later, she thinks, although the chance of that doesn’t seem likely, she admits to herself.
She walks onto the grounds, and sits on the grass. She pulls out a small, worn book. She opens it and reads a handwritten letter- it appears to be a past diary entry.
Diary,
I can’t stop thinking about him. I still can’t believe how wonderful my luck is. Out of all the possible girls in the world, I’m the one he chooses. I’ve never been more happy, I’m sure of it. I repeat his name in my head over and over-
She puts down her diary, too sad to read his name. Her eyes are filling up with tears, and though she doesn’t know it, someone is watching her every move.
He watches her carefully, his eyes wandering over her. He wonders why she is suddenly so sad.
She looks at the sky, and a bird flies by- the same as her name. She feels as though this is a sign of good luck until a black crow comes up and sits next to the bird. The crow is the exact color of his hair. She stifles a cry of what she had always hoped for.
He sees the birds too, and he thinks about the past.
She takes out her history book- nothing like good, reliable fact to cheer you up, she reasons. No surprises, everything already gone over. She turns to a random page in a chapter that she has already read. No surprises, everything already gone over.
He watches her take out the book, her fingers lightly opening it. He remembers holding her hand.
Diner the Third believed that the empire could be brought down using a simple trick. She took one of her maids and instructed her to go the king of Deree every day with a gift. Diner hoped that the king would be attracted to the maid, and therefore the maid could be a spy inside of the castle. Diner was not to be disappointed. The king fell in love with the maid. Unfortunately for Diner, the maid loved the king dearly and refused to betray him. Diner-
She throws down her book with a strangled sob. Is nothing safe from the thought of him, she wonders, her thoughts sad.
He stands behind a tree, watching her and remembering. Remembering the days where he could be with her without worrying. But things have changed. He shakes the thoughts from his head, and watches what he wants so dearly, but can’t have.
She looks at the ground, not able to look around at anything else, or she will be reminded of him. She pulls out her iPod, thinking at least music can take her away.
He watches her take out the music player, and remembers the times they laughed over the absurd lyrics of some songs.
She turns on what had been their song. She closes her eyes and leans against a tree, remembering the past. It seems fit that she would cry over their song. It seems fit that she should miss him like nobody ever has missed.
He watches her close her eyes and lean against a tree. They had climbed in that tree, he remembers. Maybe that is why she is crying. I miss you too, he thinks. I've never stopped missing you.
