And just like that, it's finally Friday. Approaching the school gates, I noticed stares and whispers from people around me. Unsure if I'm just imagining it, I move on and made my way to the classroom. Pulling out my seat from the desk, I waved at Haruka and Emi, but they just looked away. Weird. It's starting to feel as if I'm replaying my previous life. I feel a tinge of sourness in my nose and held myself back from crying. There's no way I'm going to do that in public. I won't give them the satisfaction. Not again.

Lunch time comes around, and surprise surprise, the trio wasn't in the regular spot in the cafeteria. I looked around and spotted them with a group of other people, chatting away happily. I stopped myself from walking towards them when I saw Krista giving me a ominous smirk. I turned around and made my way outside the cafeteria, walking towards the grass fields with a chicken sandwich in my hands. I sat down on the grass and unwrapped the sandwich to munch on it. I pulled out my phone and plugged in my earphones, playing some music to distract myself. It hasn't even been two weeks and I'm already back to being by myself, again. What did I even do wrong? I held the sandwich with my left hand, and started to aggressively rip out the grass on the fields with my right hand. 

*Ding*

I looked on my phone, a facebook message from a non-friend. Curious, I clicked on it and was surprise to see Akaashi had messaged me. Why would he do that? I clicked on the message to read what he had sent.

Akaashi Keiji

Sera-san, can I ask you something?

I could feel my cheeks burning up, this is not happening again.

Something about you liking me

I anxiously press send, awaiting his response. It took him a minute to reply.

Tamura-san did.

Krista? That bitch used me as a conversation starter or something? My face remained flushed, feeling both anger and embarrassment at the same time.
