The sound of synthetic leather bouncing off each other, "One-two!" Sousuke shouted.

"Jab!"

"Hook!"

"Uppercut!"

Then, we sparred. Sousuke was better than me. He'd bring me down quickly. Once, I took him down but in the process, I fell on top of him.

"Ah, sorry. My legs gave out on me," I said before I attempted to get off Sousuke.

"No, don't get up. Stay there for a minute," Sousuke told me.

"Are you sure? I'm a little heavy," I asked.

"Shut up. You're not. Just stay until you recover," Sousuke smirked.

"Fine," I chuckled.

"This is nice," Sousuke exhaled.

"Me, laying on top of you?" I laughed.

"No, spending time with someone. Someone who shares the same loneliness as me."

"Guess you're right. I like being lonely though."

"You do?!" Sousuke picked up his head to look at me.

"Augh," I grunted as I lifted myself to roll onto my back and lay beside him, "I do. At least with that, I know I'm still breathing."

"Interesting. You sound so... edgy," Sousuke laughed, looking at me.

I turned my head to look at him, "Shut the hell up!" I laughed with him.

I grabbed my phone from the corner, "Smile," I said, Sousuke did.

"We look gross," Sousuke said.

"We do but at least we look gross together, right? It complements our loneliness. It's raw...like our feelings," I chuckled, "How's that for edgy?"

Sousuke looked at me as I looked at my phone. Sousuke flipped on top of me and stared, "Sou?" I titled my head, giving him a concerned look.

"Are you ok—," I felt his warm, soft lips touch mine. He held his lips, pressed against mine for a few seconds before releasing himself from the trance he was in. A moment of weakness, which later turned into many moments...from both of us.

"Sou, what was that for?" I asked.

"Send me the picture. Next time, we'll take a nicer one." Sousuke responded.

"What is wrong with her?" Rei asked Makoto.

"Not really sure... I think she woke up angry or something," Makoto answered as they looked back at me as I wore the darkest shade of sunglasses I own.

"What's with the sunglasses?" Gō asked.

"The sun is burning my eyes," I responded.

"Are you okay? Do you need eye drops?" Ms. A asked.

"No, I'm good. Thanks," I answered.

I'd rather just...not be here right now. I don't want to be seen. Can we go inside now? I want to stay clear of the Samezuka team. Are we going inside now? Oh, thank god. Let's go in!

I walked in as quickly as I could without making it obvious...but it was pretty obvious.

I had missed calls from both Sou and Rin the other day and no, I most definitely did not call them back nor have I spoken to Rin since because I'm supposed to be mad...now I'm just worried...nervous. Why the hell did they both call me? Does Rin know? Are they plotting something? Is Sousuke plotting something? GAH! This is driving me nuts. Best to stay away from everyone besides our team.
