Yagate kimi ni naru - Sayaka Saeki ni tsuite - 2 (Dengeki Bunko) [Light Novel]

[Machine Translation] I'm not going to fall in love with anyone anymore. Shayaka had made up her mind to do so after a painful heartbreak she experienced in junior high school. However, from the moment she first saw the face of Touko Nanami at the entrance ceremony of her high school, she was irresistibly drawn to Touko. They were in the same class, belonged to the student council together, and eventually became close friends. As we continued to walk beside each other, I learned about both her strengths and weaknesses. Seeing everything about Toko, I grew to like her even more. But that's why. Shayaka just can't tell her that she loves her. She waited too long, was too afraid, and couldn't take the first step. It was not until she met "her" that she learned what it means to love someone.
