Confession

Fuyuko runs and tries to catch up with Kiriyama. It’s really tough for me though. I don’t know what’s going on but all I know is that Kiriyama and Fuyuko are having some kind of argument. It seemed kind of important too.

“ Kiriyama! Wait.. I have something I need to ask you.”

“ Oh, Fuyuko. What’s up? You didn’t have to run all the way-,”

“ Did you mean the thing you told me on the roof the other day.”

“ Yes, I did. I really do like Akio,” he said with a smile on his face. “ I’ve liked him for quite a while.”

“ How long is quite a while?”

“ For four years, I guess,” he says, still keeping the smile on his face.

“ Why don’t you tell him anything?,” Fuyuko asks in frustration. “ He’s not going to get angry with you anyway.”

“ He already likes-,” Kiriyama stops midway. “ It’s best if he tell you.”

“ I don’t know why but just so you know I’m going consider you as a rival.”

“ Thanks, you really are something,” he says. He leans forward and whispers in Fuyuko's ears-

“ That’s the reason Akio likes you, you know.”

Fuyuko blushes and walks away.

“ Anyway…it’s…it’s none of your business.”

“But seriously, he does love you. You should ask him out because he’s scared of being rejected again.”

With that Kiriyama walks into the bus and waves Fuyuko goodbye.

“ Rejected again?”

That’s when things started going into a whole new direction. She did forget that I told her about what happened wen we were kids. She really doesn’t remember. Everything started when I got rejected for the first time. I didn’t even like the girl but that affected how I thought and felt form that moment. Fuyuko didn’t get that and we ended up not talking for a week. I was done with her nonsense but that didn’t stop me for trying one last time to try and explain everything to her. I really didn’t explain things to her properly so it’s kind of my fault.

“ Fuyuko, there’s something we need to talk about.”

I wanted to know more about her. I wanted to stay with her even if she hated me. I want to be with her because without her I’m lost and broken. It might sound a bit cliché but people who know what it feels like to grow up with no parents. And the only person who took care of me was her. For no reason she sacrificed herself for me.

Kiriyama told me what happened between them at the bus stop-

“ I don’t want to talk to you,” Fuyuko shouts back.

“ Fine! I’ll never talk to you here after. I hate you,” I shouted and ran. I could control my anger after all.

-the only part he didn’t tell me was that both of them loved me. Why me? I don’t know. But he missed the important parts and that ruined her feelings. She felt broken after that and it was my fault. It was me fault again. I guess I was really better of without friends.

“ I’ll be waiting for you after school on the rooftop,” I scream. “ I’ll wait for as long as I have to.”

She stops for a second but then continues to walk without even saying a word. We went home for the day but I couldn’t sleep. Maybe I was just sick of dreaming.
