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
Toma ran out of the room trying to hold back the tears that were trying to reveal his true feelings. And when he was finally able to hide himself well, he shed his tears continuously."Damn it, damn it!" Seeing Yuji so sad and depressed about his break up that it hurts like hell for him. He didn't see it coming. Toma was confident that Yuji will shrug this short term relationship since it didn't look so serious.Toma always thought that Yuji was only fooling around with Xia, and with his discovery of Yuji's sincere feelings, the picture of Yuji and Xia together haunts and scares him.Even though he's greatly hurt, he reminded himself that his plan isn't finished yet. "…right, this is still the beginning." There will come a day that Yuji will no longer look at other girls, and only look at Toma.He thinks that to motivate himself and uplift his mood. Then he brings out his phone to listen to Yuji's voice. He had a re
Toma suddenly disappeared out of my sight when classes were over. I tried searching for him only to have my eyes stumble upon the sight of Xia talking to the guy I've seen with Toma last time. I immediately hid myself nearby and happen to hear their conversation."I don't know, I… I just." Xia's voice was trembling."I'm really sorry about before. After some time I realize that I'm still inlove with you." What the, is he Xia's ex-boyfriend or something?"Haven't we agreed not to see each other ever again!""Come on Xia, I really love you.""Stop forcing yourself on me!" I wanted to interfere so badly so I can drag her away from that man until the guy said something that shocked me."Fine, I won't force you but you have to let me see my son. You've been receiving support but you never let me see him anymore.""That was part of the agreement!-" I couldn't listen any l
Toma bought an ice cream bucket and brought out some games when we got back to the dorm. He's really pulling out a great effort to make me feel better. When I got to wash up and feel refreshed, there wasn't anything blocking me from talking anymore."…thanks." I told him. I'm a little embarassed to make him go through all of this.He just smiled at me while giving me a spoon. "Hey, this is the least I can do for you. I mean, you've been looking out for me since we were kids so I got to do this.""Right. I'm just not used to this, I'm supposed to be the responsible one.""You're still the responsible one though. You just happen to have your heart broken and made yourself like this.""Y-Yeah." Then I got a spoon full of ice cream and stuffed my mouth.Then he just laughs at me and pinched my nose like I'm some little kid. It pisses me a bit how he's acting like an older brother. "You
Toma helped me a lot to make things better for me. I really appreciated how he would always show and give me things that can uplift my mood. Though these days, I'm not so bothered with seeing Xia anymore.Processing her past and being in a relationship with her recently suddenly feels like it's no big deal anymore. Still I get the unfair and disgusted feeling towards her when I'm in a bad mood, so I just distract myself whenever I get those thoughts.I was having lunch alone at the cafeteria which I didn't mind at all, sometimes I'd like to be alone rather than filling my memories with Toma's face everyday. "…hey Yuji!" Hino suddenly greeted me. It's been a while since we got to talk."Yo.""You mind if I sit here?""Sure, be my guest."As he sat, we began to catch up and talk about some school stuff. Nothing interesting at all-"You guys broke up!?" He was so surprised to hear it.
When Yuji was already out of the scene, Noru looked sharply at Hino while he eats his food. Then out of nowhere, Noru touches Hino's hand that was on the table. Hino felt nervous and afraid by Noru's sudden action."…come with me." He whispered at Hino's ear.Hino didn't know what he should do. He's afraid of following Noru's orders but as if his body has a mind of its own, he nods and follows Noru. They went to the men's comfort room and both ended up inside the most spacious cubicle.Both remained silent, Hino was looking down on the floor while Noru stares at him with lustful eyes. "Wow, aren't you being too obedient?" He joked.Hino got embarassed and had his face turn bright red. "S-Shut up!"Noru leans closer to him and talked in a whispering tone. "You want me so badly, don't you?"Hino couldn't say anything anymore, all he was expecting at the moment is Noru to touch him. "A
