Chihiro Aoi
Sakura and Chihiro first meet in middle-school, where he sees her getting bullied by her peers. Although initially he doesn't do anything to help her, not wanting to get involved, he slowly becomes interested in her because of the rumours regarding her as the 'new' building's 'problem child'. They properly meet when Chihiro helps Sakura pick up her stationary and hands her back her pencil case. From that point on Chihiro looks out for Sakura and they grow closer due to their both being 'alone' and outsiders.

At some point Chihiro's feelings for Sakura turn into romantic ones and she reciprocates, however despite this Sakura insists they go to seperate high schools since Chihiro is smarter. Nevertheless they are always thinking about one another and are still deeply in love with each other.
