Chapter 2 - Friends?

lets define a "friend" as someone you hold dear. The way I see it, no one in this world ever really cares for others..

People always want something out of a relationship. They only really love themselves.

You don't call someone who doesn't like you your friend. No... Cause you know you won't get nothing from them. Which means, in this world, there's no one you can truly hold dear. At the end of the lonely road of love, you're the only one left standing there.

I don't really care about people who say about me anymore... But I still desire a peaceful life so I decide to enroll into a middle school that's 3 stations away from my home.

"Hanokawa Middle School" pretty far and plain school.

No one from my elementary school would be here.... 

RIGHT?

Saw the same guy who spread lies about me and snitch to my parent's from afar... Yamamoto Tanabe.... I have a bad feelings... This guy always up to no good.. always.

By the time Yamamoto Tanabe found out I'm from this school.... He decide to spread false rumors about me being a delinquent and a bully specialized on girls. 

Everyone in the school at least heard about the rumors and they believe about the false rumors. All eyes turn against me and I have become the "bad guy".

I spend my middle school years quietly, mostly spending time all alone.... not trying to make eye contact with anyone nor making friends. 

This is how my foundation was form... loneliness and despair

I'm desperate of making friends.... 

But I was still weak, I reminded myself....

Well... spending time alone can't help with my boredom... so I decide spend all of my time in school library... It had become one of my routine... Whenever I come to school before class, recess and after school, I always goes to the school library to get my knowledge up for over a year.

Hiding my face with books while blushing.... Looking at the receptionist... "She's so pretty." 

The receptionist is Suzuki Hina.. Second year student... Class 2-B, Blue eyes.... Twin tails... 

I wish I have the courage to speak to her face to face... but my rumors still spreading...

Few days later during recess

Saw Hina is carrying a heavy projectiles with full of science stuff... but I'm conflicted... I do not want to get misunderstood same as the incident during elementary schools. I hadn't talked to anyone since the last incident.

I smacked my face just to refresh myself... I need to leave the past alone and move on. 

So I decide to go towards to Hina 

"H-Hey... Suzuki-san.... Do.. you need help with that? The box you're carrying looks heavy and I can't ignore it." My leg are trembling in fear and thought she will be disgusted by looking at me.

"T-Thank you.... I'm saved." She respond in relieve and hand me the box full of projectiles.

We traded smiles...

My first interact with Suzuki Hina... I can't help but grinning all day. I wonder how my days would turn now..
