After some time of hanging out, we became friends. One day, Haruka didn't hang out with us. I didn't know why. No one knew why. So, we just ate lunch without her. We were so sad. We were worried. But I remember, I saw her in class a while ago. Where is she. Things have been so quiet without her. We slowly walked back to the classroom when I saw Haruka. She was being bullied by those bullies again. I quickly ran to her. When the bullies saw me, they quickly ran away. They left poor Haruka crying. "Haruka, are you okay?" I asked. "J-Just go away." She said while covering her face. "But, Haruka, we--"
"Just go away, please." She interrupted what I was about to say. I sadly nodded. "Fine." Then, I walked back to the classroom with Tenma, Aoi, and Shinsuke.
While the teacher was giving us a seat work, I noticed that Haruka was crying softly. She was really miserable. She made sure that her tears won't fall on the paper. I really pitied her. I signaled the others to look at Haruka. They became really worried. After class was dismissed. We went to soccer practice. While we were practicing, Haruka wasn't watching us like she always did. This made me more worried. After practice, we looked around the school to find Haruka. But, she was nowhere to be found. "Maybe, she went home." Aoi said. "Yeah, maybe." Tenma replied sadly. ....
