Hey, guys. Have y'all watched that series on Netflix, Girl from Nowhere? I actually thought twice before watching it because I knew I was going to fall inlove with this girl. Well, I just started today and I'm currently on the 8th episode of the first season.

This girl is amazing, I think I'm inlove lmao.

That's all!

"What are you doing? Answer it if it's important." Dori muttered, motioning to her phone.


Shouko cleared her throat and answered the call, putting it up to her ear. "H-Hey...?"


"Hey? What do you mean 'hey'? I'm right outside. Get out of there, now."


Shouko nervously gulped and glanced at Dori before looking at the cake. She hasn't even tasted a piece of it yet.

It irritated him to know she was hesitant on coming out and Nijiro could feel his irritation slowly rise as the seconds pass by.

"You know what?" He chuckled dryly. "Nevermind. I'm done."


With that, he instantly revved the engine and sped out of there just as Shouko came out. She was confused as hell why he told her to come out, only to leave right after she does.

"Oh? He left?" Dori spoke up behind her, a plate of cake on hand. "What a strange guy..."


Shouko gulped, the feeling of dread starting to form up in the bottom of her stomach. "I-I think I have to go."

"Wait, let me get my keys upstairs. I'll drive you."


Shouko absentmindedly nodded. Instead of waiting for him when Dori ran to get his keys, Shouko just walked out and left.


By the time Dori ran back down, Shouko was nowhere to be found. He cursed under his breath and got in his car to search for her. But unknowingly, he had taken the wrong way.

As Shouko walked along the dark streets, she realized what time it was and how cold the air had gotten. She got out her phone and called Nijiro a few times but her calls would just go straight to voicemail.

"Oh, come on...." She muttered under her breath. "I came out as fast as I could, what the hell..."

Just then, her phone rang and glanced at it to see Nijiro calling her this time. She instantly answered the call, without hesitation.

"Nijiro? I came out as fast as I could..." She tried to explain.

"I don't think this will work out...whatever this is..." Nijiro whispered on the other line, making her stop walking.

"Look, can you just calm down? We can talk about this." She sighed.

"No, no....we should just..." Nijiro cleared his throat on the other line. "...see other people.."

Shouko was stunned for a second but then she laughed dryly. "Fine, I never even wanted to be with you anyway."


Of course, they were both just too mad at each other. Not one of them wanted to lower their pride at the moment, making things worse.

It had started to rain but Shouko didn't mind. The raindrops masked the tears that were freely flowing down her cheeks.

After a few seconds, the rain had gotten harsher. Shouko was now full on sobbing as the rain soaked her dress. She walked slowly, the road she took not even heading to her place.
