I woke up earlier than Toma so we can seperately go to school on our own. I bet it pretty much upsets him that he won't be able to go there with me. He's pretty much used with going to school with me, however, that won't be happening today.
I just hope things go well for him.
"…huh. Something is different." My seatmate Xia said.
"Nothing new out of the ordinary." I told her as I sat next to her.
"No, no. There's definitely something different with you today." Then her eyes gazed on the person who entered class. We both saw Toma coming in alone.
There our eyes met, he smiles a little at me then goes to his seat without a worry. Xia then realized what she saw different in her perspective. "That's it! You haven't gone to school with your boyfriend!"
"What!?--I don't have a boyfriend! I'm a guy, I'm not gay!" Seriously, this girl is annoying. She just giggles as I glared at her.
"Ahh yeah, I forgot about that. But Toma is your friend right? I always used to see you guys together here at school most of the time."
"Well not anymore."
"Why? Did you guys break up or something?"
Again, I glared at her. "I just told you, I'm not in that kind of relationship with him."
"Hahaha! Right. But is it alright that you guys are seperate like this?"
"It's not like we're always together, we have seperate lives."
"Hmmm, is that right?"
My eyes rolled at this girl, the moment she opens her mouth. She spat nothing but annoying nonsense. "…Still, I hope I see you guys hanging out together again."
"Why do you care so much about me and Toma anyway?"
Her grin scared me. "I just like seeing you guys together, you remind me of an 'uke and seme' relationships."
"And what does that mean?"
"Oh uhh, oh! The professor is already here, let's not get distracted too much." She was able to dodge my question when the prof came, though I lost interest in knowing what she meant. I bet it'll be something weird again.
Xia is weird. As much as I want to avoid her, fate seems to be harsh on me for I've been partnered up with her for a research paper, which will take about two months to finish. "Great, I'm stuck with you for a month." I said.
"Hey, It's not like I wanted this to happen either." She pouts and looked at me sharply.
"Whatever, let's just get things done before the deadline. It'll be great if we finish it way more earlier." So that I won't have to spend time with you so much.
"Hmph, you're such a grumpy rude jerk. No wonder you don't have much friends."
"H-Hey! I got friends!" I told her.
"Yeah right, you had one and you just pushed him out of your life." There I realized she was talking about Toma. "If you'll excuse me, I'll be off to my next subject." She said and left.
Ah, the current subject is over. When I was about to get out of class, I was going to call out to Toma. But before I could do so, I almost forgot that we were both supposed to be living seperate lives for three whole months.
Then after seeing Toma happily talking to other people made me… smile a bit.
"I guess he's doing well without me." I mumbled to myself, before leaving the classroom.
It's been a week now since I started to seperate myself from Toma. These past few days were peaceful, but it was kind of lonely for some reason. It's not that I wasn't talking to other people to completely isolate myself… maybe I was also just used to have Toma with me.We actually see each other since we share the same room at the dorm, but we both made great effort to keep things in minimal, like our talks and other stuff. Also, I noticed that Toma found something for himself to be indulged in, so every seven at night he would go out and do whatever he got himself into."Hey, I'll be late again tonight. So don't lock the door on me." He often tells me that whenever he's going out."Just get the spare keys in the drawer." I told him while reading a book for my socialist class."I can't, I might lose them." Ah, it's in his nature to be careless with every small thing he possess."Whatever. I'll just
It's funny how fast time passes. And everytime a day is over, it feels like the distance between Toma and I grows bigger and bigger. He's slowly drifting away from me… "maybe I shouldn't have told him to avoid me that time.""Who are you talking about?" Xia interfered with my thoughts.That made me realize that I was talking out loud unconsciously. "Ah, nothing. Don't mind me.""Uh-huh, right." She gave me a look of disbelief. "Something's bothering you, you can't even focus on your part of the research right now."Looking at the screen of my laptop, it was still an empty draft. I really am distracted by these annoying thoughts."Ugh, I guess I need to take a rest first.""Okay, just don't forget we have to pass this next week." She told me."Yeah I'll be taking my leave now." When I was about to put my things in my bag, Xia suddenly mentioned something that blew my
It wasn't so long when I began to realize what my life would be without my bestfriend Toma. He was always the sociable guy while I was just someone who tagged along. I wasn't so friendly with the other guys he always used to hang out with other than me.So whenever lunch time arrives, I always find myself sitting alone at the cafeteria. Then I often see Toma with his other friends with him, as well as his girlfriend Cami."Never knew it would be like this." I muttered to myself, sometimes wishing I never suggested to avoid one another."…hey."I looked at the person by my side and saw Xia. "Oh it's you.""Yeah, got a room to spare here?" She asked with a cheeky smile."There's plenty of room as you can see, so be my guest." I told her, with a bit of sarcastic tone."Hahaha, sure." She sat right next to me. Ugh, of all places, this girl is really annoying.
"I'm Noru, a friend of Toma.""Oh…" so this was the guy who helped Toma with Cami. "I believe we met before. I always saw you with him when we were freshmen.""Ah yeah, I'm a friend of Toma and as well as a childhood friend." I told him.He smirks as he pass by, "It doesn't seem like it anymore."…jerk.After that, I left the restro0m and continued my day without a hassle. Though it quite bothered my mind about the guy from the restroom and Xia confessing to me. I'm getting mixed emotions by thinking about it.The next day wasn't so easy, when I saw Xia. It was awkward like I expected. "Uhm, hey." I kind of… greeted."Y-Yeah." She couldn't even make eye-contact with me.I attempted to find another seat but everything in the room was taken, so I had no other choice but to sit next to her. When I take a glance at her, I noticed how stiff she is.
"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.
From: Xia『 See you later :D 』After reading the text I received from Xia, I felt a bit nervous since this feels like my first time on a date. The last time I dated someone when I was a senior highschool student. It feels such a long time since then."Ugh, act cool Yuji." I told myself while waiting for Xia.And it's not like I should be nervous for anything today, I'll just be going on a date with Xia. Shouldn't that be a fun thing?"…Yuji?" A familiar voice spoke.Then there I saw Hino, along with Toma, Noru and the rest of their friends. It was nostalgic seeing them altogether, but I realized that I was never a part of their circle because I was always just considered as someone who only tagged along with Toma."Oh, hey." I greeted. Some of them asked how I've been, and why I haven't been hanging out with them lately. Then my bestfriend who was being quiet began
We had our lunch at a fine restaurant in the mall we were at. The conversations were merely interesting and I was making a way for a question I had to ask.Though I thought Xia would pipe down her chitchat when we're in a relationship now, but it was otherwise. She remained the annoying girl I used to hate. "And there was this one time I caught my friend stalking this girl, hahaha!"Her stories never ends."Xia…""There was a weird rumor about the girl she was looking up though.""Uhm Xia.""They said the girl had a twin brother that died, but others said that the girl used to be a guy and became a transwoman.""…" it was impossible! She just won't listen!And the talk goes on and on, and on. I thought I'll remain a listener throughout the whole conversation but then she gave me a way to speak. "So, what about you? You've been awfully silent." She l
I've thought of possible results before confessing my reason why I dated Xia. And I also thought by the time I said it, Xia would reject me for being such a huge jerk. But I was quite surprise how Xia responded."I thought so…" she answered with a smile, but sadness can be seen on her eyes."So, do you still wanna date me?" I grinned waiting for my expectation to be meet."Yes." My face became blank as soon as she said that. "I already got the chance I wanted, so I won't let it slip by so easily.""Why so eager?" I softly asked, almost a whisper."Because, I really like you-" she points at me, showing an expression that's so eager. "-and I'll make sure to make you fall inlove with me too."What a strong-willed woman.I chuckled. "We'll see about that."Then the rest of my day was spent well with my girlfriend, Xia. After all that, coming back to my
