It was unfortunate that Xia can't attend the party, she was the one who was most looking forward to this. I didn't know her reason too, all I know is that she'll tell me when we see each other at school. "Sorry to hear that Xia isn't coming." Toma said.
"Meh, it's fine. I think I won't attend after all." I told him.
"What? But I already told Cami you'd come. She actually wants to meet you."
"Probably next time, see ya." When I was about to go back to the room Toma grabs me by the arm. "Dude, come on. You rarely attend this occassions so just come."
"Ehh…" I really don't want to go anyway.
"Then I'll accompany you the whole party, so come." He insisted.
What the- this guy is being ridiculous. "Are you forgetting? You have a girlfriend, you don't have to do that for me." I said.
"She has her friends there so it's fine." He's really pushy.
"This breaks the three months distancing between us, you know." He had both his hands at my back pushing me out of the door.
"We can make an exception for today."
"No."
"Pleeeeaaase?"
"Whatever you say my answer is still 'no'."
"But Yuji! I really missed hanging out with you!!" He cried.
When I was about to get pushed out, I spread my arms to avoid getting pushed out completely. "I swear, if you try too hard pushing me out. I'll kill you."
"Okay, I won't then." he removes his hands from my back. Huh? Is he really backing down now? When I was about to look back at him, I felt a ticklish sensation at both of my sides.
"Bwahahaha! T-Toma, stop! Hahahaha!" Damn it! This was the only weakness he knows about me. He tickled me until I was forced to get out of the room, and it was a successful plan for him. He locked the door and keeps the keys on his pockets.
Some of our neighbors yelled at us. "Damn you fucking faggots, keep it down!"
Toma just chuckled. "Let's go to the party~"
I punched him without a second thought. "Ouch! You're so harsh on me, Yuji."
"If you weren't such a fucking dick then I wouldn't have done that."
He still had the nerve to grin. "Well you gave me a hard punch in the face. That's enough compensation, hmm?"
"Tsk." I stepped on his foot as well.
"Oof." He kneels down to ease the pain on his foot. "What was that for?" He cried.
"Another compensation for forcing me to attend a party. I'm okay now, let's go." Though if I have a chance, I'll definitely escape from that party. I'm sure I won't enjoy it as much as Toma does, I'm no social butterfly.
"Ugh, fair enough." He admits, and walks beside me.
"…tsk, I really don't wanna go." I told him. He places his left arm on my shoulders. "You got no choice, I already got the compensation right?"
I faced him so I could give him a good death glare, but it was a huge mistake. His face was too close to mine, and our lips was about a few centimeters apart. "Ack! Too close!" I pushed him away.
"Heh, chill! Hahahaha!" He laughed it off and we both continued to walk our way to his car.
When we got to the place, it was already full of people. Toma's girlfriend was already outside the gates waiting for him. As we got down from the car, Cami immediately goes to us. "Toma!" She hugs him tightly.Looking at them, they really look good together."Hahaha! You missed me already?""Duh, who wouldn't miss a 'perfect' boyfriend like you?"Watching them flirt made me a bit uncomfortable. They probably forgot about my existense. Now I feel bad for Toma about the time I was having my moment with Xia infront of him last time."Oh right! Here's my bestfriend, Yuji." Toma finally introduced me to his girlfriend."Hi, it's nice to meet you.""Ah! So you're Yuji? Toma mentions you a lot to me and I've been really wanting to meet you." Cami is really such a sweet girl. She had my hands on her, looking very excited."Same here. I leave Toma's tr
"…because he's already reserved for me." I can't believe it…"Oh my, I didn't know you've got exotic tastes for guys, Cami." Tsuzu commented."Uhh..." Cami just had a dumbfounded look on her face.This guy is really stupid! I quickly punched him, spitting along some remarks. "You idiot, people might misunderstand your words! Don't you fucking know how to rephrase.""Aww, understood." He answered while he try to ease the pain on his face."Woah, feisty." The girls giggled. It made me embarassed to show how I get angry at Toma, though I expected this to happen somehow. "Pardon my temper, Toma is really just a handful moron.""I know, right?" It seems like Cami is really troubled by Toma even if she's the girlfriend. Toma can't please anyone at all."Now you guys are just bullying me." Toma pouted."I'm really sorry about this Tsuzu. I'll just deal wit
"He must've drank too much alcohol." Toma said as he looks at Yuji that fell asleep at a corner.When the party was already over, Toma searches for Yuji and found him at his current state. Yuji was sleeping peacefully. However, Toma wasn't so troubled by this. Toma has a car after all, so it won't he a hassle to carry Yuji all the way back to their place.Cami who was beside him shakes her head. "He sure did. Look at all the bottle he had." She pointed at the bottles beside Yuji."I guess we have to go now." Toma said, kind of excited by bringing Yuji back home.Then Tsuzu came to see Yuji, "You could just leave him here, I'll bring him home once he wakes up." She suggested."No need, I can handle him.""You really won't let me borrow him, huh?" Tsuzu can grasp what Toma is trying to do, so she lets him do what he wants. She just lost her interest in Yuji if there's this annoying ma
My Saturday morning feels like shit. Drinking too much last night was the greatest regret of my life. I found Toma laughing at me because of my bad drinking habits. "Dude, didn't we both swear not to drink too much anymore?""That was my b-bad, I forgot." I feel like my headache's going to kill me right now."Want me to buy you some pills for your hangover?""Mmm, yes please.""Okay, I'll be right back." After Toma got out, I had a nasty feeling in my stomach that made me threw up in the bathroom. And now that I smell like puke, I had no choice but to clean myself. I couldn't wash myself properly so I just got myself wet on the shower, thankfully it got the horrible smell off.When I got out of the bathroom, Toma got back in time as well. "Yuji, I got your pil-waaah!" As soon as he laid his eyes on me, he turns red and looks away.I had one of my eyebrow raised on him. "The fuck you
When I got to the class, the first thing I wanted to do was to ask Xia for her reason for not attending the party. Now that I got a good look at her, she looked pale and bothered. "Are you alright?""Oh, uh yeah." She didn't even noticed I got in the class. Xia must be thinking too deeply."Hey, aren't you going to tell me why you didn't come last Friday?"She forced a smile on her face. "I was just sick."I placed my forehead on hers so I can check her temperature. "You seem fine now." Her pale face suddenly turns red and she pushes me away."Dummy! I'm fine now!""But you don't look good right now." I told her.She placed her fingertips at her temples to massage it and closed her eyes. "Yeah, I still feel sick somehow but I'll get better later." She said.I took off my jacket and gave it to her. "Here, you need it more than I do."
I wasn't able to meet up with Xia after classes. I tried to contact her but she won't answer. As I got back to my dorm, I found Toma was already there and playing some video games again. "Hey!" He greeted.I wasn't in a good mood so I just ignored his annoying happy face and stared at my phone, waiting for Xia's reply."…is there something wrong Yuji?""It's none of your business. Go back playing your games."He pouts and even pried more. "Oh come on dude, you can tell me anything."I let out a groan and laid myself down on Toma's bed while still holding on my phone. "Xia's been acting weird differently this morning.""Mmhmm, and?" He lays down beside me, taking a peek on my phone."And she said she couldn't attend the party because she was sick.""Oh.""She still look sick today, and I'm getting worried.""Why?"
"Huuu… it hurts." Toma cried. He got a black eye from my punch yesterday. I feel bad for him, but that wouldn't even happen if he wasn't so stupid."Don't be such a baby.""I'll stop if you take responsibility for this." He points at his eye."Like hell I will, you deserve that well."He frowns at my response. Once I got everything ready, I was good to go to school. And when I was about to get out of the room, Toma catches up with me. "Wait! Don't forget about me.""This violates the rules of our three month distancing agreement, you should let me go first." I reminded him."Huh? Are you really still going on about that? You didn't even set up rules for that agreement.""Don't you have common sense? You know what distancing is, right? So stop following me.""Hmph, whatever." It worries me that there's only a month left to this agreement, and Toma ha
I went straight back to my dorm after that talk. I don't want to ask her reasons why because I feel like it'll hurt me more. But the moment she said those words kept repeating on my mind, and it's making me feel crazy."We should break up."But why did she looked like that? The moment she said those words with a ver cold tone, I could see it in her eyes that she didn't want it to happen either. Though things still ended up that way.Then I started to tell myself that I won't cry just because of a stupid break up. Our relationship wasn't so serious anyway, and I know myself that relationships made on a whim can end in a whim… just like my relationship with Xia.…why though?Why do I feel so bothered by it? Why can't I talk without having my voice shaking? Why can't I stop thinking about her? Why does it feels so tight in my chest?As I closed my eyes, all I could see was Xia. And all
