"EHH!?" It looked like she can't believe what I've just said. "What did you just say to me?!"
"I asked if you want to go out with-"
"Are you for real!?" She still doubts if I'm serious about this.
"Well, yeah! So are you going to say 'yes' or-"
"Don't play with other people's feelings. I like you but I won't allow you to ever do what you're trying to do."
"No, I'm really serious about this-"
"And don't ever think I'll let you get away with this-"
"Can't you quit cutting me off!? Seriously, I'm serious about this. So do you want to date me or not?" I planned to be nice and kind as possible, but with Xia, it's just impossible to do so.
She stood frozen, observing me to see if I'm lying or not. "Really?"
"Yes, so what's your answer?" I demanded.
She pouts and glares at, though she smiles and reached out her hand to me. "…then sure, I'll go out with you."
Holding on to her hand, I replied with a smile to her response.
After that, we agreed going on our first date this weekend. While talking to her, I noticed how happier she is. She kept smiling ear to ear and her face was really red.
I wish I could feel the same way… must be nice to be so happy like that.
"So… see ya!" She waved goodbye when the day was over. I waved back at her and stared until she's out of sight.
Then out of nowhere, someone talked to me. "Who's that?"
"?.." Looking behind me, I saw Noru.
"You?" I mumbled.
"Was that your girlfriend?" He asked with an annoying grin on his face.
"Yeah." I answered shortly. I just don't feel like talking to this guy... or more like that I don't like him at all.
"Cool, good for you." He then walk pass me. "It's cute how you try to imitate Toma. Though whatever you do doesn't matter anyway." He added.
It pissed me off. The nerve of that guy!
"Whatever." I left the place as well.
I guess he's a jerk just like I suspected. It's better not to get involved with that person if I intend to have a peaceful life in this campus. It's sort of a wonder for me, how did Toma got along with such a guy?
When I got back to the dorm, I found Toma sleeping on his bed while holding some books and notes on his stomach. "That must be uncomfortable." Then I put away all the things that was on his bed so he can sleep comfortably.
It's nice to see him sleep peacefully, but I think I should've woke him up because he had to do a bunch of work… nah, I think he needs some sleep.
Looking at all the pile, I thought it must be hard on Toma doing all of it on his own. So even without his permission, I helped him get some of the work done. "I swear, this will be the last time I'll help!" I really can't have Toma depending on me like this forever.
I was already having second thoughts about distancing myself from Toma, but it was really what we needed right now. This careless idiot might fail his third year if he slacks of everytime.
By the time the man finally left, mom even gave me loads of money so I could stay away from her. It was then I decided to cut ties with her. I was done dealing with her… "It was a mistake to stay here. I'm leaving." I never should've come back. "W-Wait!" Before mom could stop me, I quickly got to my room and brought all my stuff with me. "Toma, please! Please hear me out!" "…IT'S TOO LATE FOR AN APOLOGY! Don't even think that I'll ever forgive you." I told her while I was running down the stairs. She just kept pulling my stuff to make it more difficult to leave. "No, Toma! I can't—" "Don't stop me!" I glared at her, "I don't want anything to do with you ever again."
Nobody ever knows about it.I kept that very dark secret of mine all to myself. I can't even bother myself to tell my mom about what happened to me, I know she won't give a shit about it. And so, everything that I ever experienced from that man was written down on a journal. That was the only way I could vent all the stress and anger I had.While she was still on a relationship with that man, I would always hide from him so he won't be able to lay a finger on me. But there were times that he would sneak in my room just to make me suffer for his disgusting pleasure. He would often leave with a threat so I wouldn't dare tell anyone about it.I was really scared… no one was ever there for me. But instead of letting myself suffer even more, I try to make myself distracted when I'm out of the house.Y
We moved into a new neighborhood when I was at the age of eight. That's when I met Yuji, the guy who became my best friend… the guy who I came to like. And the one who I fell for.He became the person who I would run to whenever I'm at my worst. Yuji would always welcome me at his house, both his parents treating me like I was a part of their family. I really loved his company, it lets me feel all the things I lacked on my own family."Tomakawa, don't your parents worry if you spend the night here without telling them?" Auntie asked.I shook my head and gave my brightest smile. "They won't. Mommy said it's okay if it's at my best friend's house." It was a lie, and I was not guilty one bit. I don't really want to go home that night."Hmm, alright then."A
When I was about five years old, I can remember how my parents would argue all the time. It eventually led to physical violence, and sometimes I get hurt as well. It was really scary for a child to experience something like that from his own parents.If I remember well, the one who's most at fault for all the arguments was mom. Dad would always come home late and drunk, then mom will start to complain. They argue, fight, and mess up the house."Stop telling me what to do, woman!""I told you a million times already, haven't I?! Stop getting yourself drunk whenever you go home!""Shut up and lock yourself in a room. Seeing your face ruins my mood!""Why, you!… you should be the one locking yourself in a room! You're a wretched mess!"&nb
Since I was kicked out of school, the only place I can stay at was at my mother's house. It sickens me to go back there but I have no other choice. "Hm. And what do you think you're doing here?" Mom asked. Just when I arrived, I didn't expect to see her outside the house to water the plants. Usually, she fools with every man she brings home most of the time. "I'll be here for a few days, I'll leave as soon as I find another place to stay at." "Heh, I heard you were kicked out of school." "None of your business." I just ignored her comments and got inside the house. Seeing this place only reminded me of the past I always wished to forget. Every room, every corner… it was all too disturbing for me. After opening the lock on my room, it was just like how
That was it.Everything is over.I no longer have anything to do with him. When I got back from the hospital, I learned that Yuji's father had storm at my place and took all of Yuji's belonging. They said he'll transfer his son onto another school because of me, though he had never mentioned to the faculty the reasons. But rumors seem to have already spread because of Yuu."How disgusting! The school should expel him.""Is it really that guy?!""I heard he was sexually assaulting his roommate, that's why the father of the victim took away his son.""That fag is a scum!"Many people kept whispering behind my back as I walk on the hallways. I couldn't care less about what they s
