(I LOVE SEEING YOUR GUY'S COMMENTS AND OPINIONS ON MY WRITING THANK YOU ALL FOR READING AND BEING PATIENT WITH ME ILY <3)
The next day Shinya woke up to the crisp sunlight beaming through the blinds on his window.
Today was a new day, thought Shinya. He got out of bed jumping to his feet and spinning around once, excited to see Guren again. Shinoa peeked into the room, "You're way too head over heels for this dude..." Shinya looked at Shinoa a bit surprised by her voice.
"Get out of my room why are you hereeee!!" Shinya whined embarrassed as Shinoa closed the door leaving the room.
Shinya got ready for school and got to homeroom on time for once. To be honest, he usually feels like crap in the mornings, he's definitely NOT a morning person. But today was different, he didn't really know why, he just knew it was. Today he was like a sunflower, bright and sunny when usually he seems like a zombie, slow and tired.
Shinya sat at his desk, looking over at the desk next to him. Guren's desk. Guren was looking down at the desk and whatever was on it. He looked so pretty at this angle, the sun shining through the window shining against his raven black locks. Before Shinya knew it he started staring.
Suddenly his vision was blocked when a girl went over to Guren's desk, the girl had long ash purple colored hair and bangs. Mahiru Hiiragi, to Shinya, she was an annoying pest who kept taking any chance he had of love away.
Mahiru grinned when Guren looked up at her. "Goodmorningg Gureeen~" She put her hand on his shoulder which made Shinya feel a bit jealous and tense up.
"Goodmorning. What do you want?" Guren's tone was serious, as usual.
"I don't want anything~ I just wanted to say good morning to you~" She lied, probably.
Guren wasn't fooled by that, "okay for real though, what?"
Mahiru put a hand to her chin as if she was thinking, "Wellll~" She grinned and held her hands behind her back, "I was thinking that maybe you could come to my party tonight~"
Guren thought about it for a moment, "well I don't have anything planned tonight---"
"Great! See you there!" Mahiru interrupted as she walked away. Her annoying voice was enough to give Shinya a headache. Shinya never got invited to this party either so it was obvious Mahiru didn't want him there to interfere. Afterward, the bell rang and Shinya rushed off to his classes. He later had band, he played the violin. Guren was also in his music class but he was seated on the other side of the classroom, Guren played guitar. Shinya wished he sat closer to Guren so he could hear him play too. Shinya practiced playing violin since middle school/the first years of secondary school, so he was pretty good at it. He also seemed a bit surprised how no one had bullied him so far today, but he'd rather not jinx it.
Too late, he jinxed it. During lunchtime Shinya was walking in the lunch line to get food, today they were serving corn, biscuits, chicken burger, and carrots. Shinya was at the end of the line, about to leave to go eat until a bully hit the tray out of Shinya's grip, causing the food to go everywhere on the floor. Shinya looked at the food, The kids in the line started laughing at him. Shinya kept the anger inside, he didn't want to accidentally hurt someone. Shinya threw away the empty tray and walked out to an empty table. His stomach made a growling noise from hunger. He could sense someone looking at him so he lifted his head and accidentally met gazes with Guren, Shinya looked back down at the table blushing, apparently, Guren was the one who was looking at him... Could've just been a coincidence, or maybe he was looking at someone behind him. Shinya looked around at all the people and groups, there were the popular people who basically controlled everything, Mahiru, Kureto, and some blonde girl who follows Kureto around everywhere. Then there's Guren and his friends, 2 girls sit on both sides next to Guren, one with brownish hair, and one with black hair. Then across from them, Norito and Mito.
The last time Shinya tried to sit over there, the 2 girls near Guren, got really defensive, maybe it's because he's a Hiiragi, not by blood, but he wished he had a different last name. What last name would he like though? Shinya got lost in thought. Shinya started to get overwhelmed with thoughts and feelings so he decided to write, Shinya would always write when he couldn't handle his feelings, so he just wrote them down in his special journal.
The bell rang and Shinya flinched a bit startled by it, he closed up his book and stood up to go to his next class, the teacher in this class was oddly nice to Shinya, no, not nice in a good way, kind of in a creepy way. She was 22 and The teacher would randomly pat him on the back or try to touch his hair, she would compliment how he looked almost every day and writes weird comments on his graded work. Shinya just wished she would leave him alone, he couldn't wait to go home after that period and lay in bed.
Shinya grabbed his things from his locker and closed the locker door to see Guren standing there causing Shinya to gasp and flinch backward.
"Sorry-" Guren apologized immediately.
"It's fine it's okay I just... Didn't expect to see you here that's all haha..." Shinya chuckled awkwardly. "Did you need something..?" Shinya asked hesitantly.
"Yeah I just- funny story um- Norito kinda threw my phone into a pool on accident it's a long story.. anyway I got a new phone but I lost your contact sooo..." Guren hid the flushed look on his face.
"Oh sure I can give you my number again," Shinya beamed with joy and happily gave Guren his number. Guren gave him a small smile in return and thanked him. Even a small conversation with Guren gave light to Shinya's heart. It made him feel warm and happy. Once Guren walked away he squealed with delight and lively walked home. He walked home with Shinoa and explained to her about his day.
"Wow- boring- well my day was much more interesting- me and Mitsu kissed for the first time in the school bathrooms!" Shinoa seemed all cheerful once she started talking about Mitsuba.
Shinya arrived home and went to his room, flopping on his bed like usual and laying there for a bit until getting up. Shinya decided to read some books, hours had passed and the clock read midnight. Shinya got a notification from snapchat, Mahiru.
The message read, "Look at my story" Shinya, a bit confused, pressed on Mahiru's story to see a video of the party she was having, Guren was there- he looked like he had drunken a lot of alcohol, Mahiru told someone to record her and she grabbed Guren by the collar and kissed him, right on the lips, Shinya turned off the phone. This feeling inside of him, this overwhelming feeling of jealousy and anger- but sorrow at the same time. Tear drops started to drip onto the dark phone screen as he gripped the phone harder. I'll never have a chance with Guren.. How could Guren love a quiet crybaby like me I'm annoying and ugly.. He would never love me..
Shinya pulled the blanket covers over his head and curled up under the sheets, crying and shaking slightly, he kept having those bad thoughts for so long, too long.. He cried himself to sleep that night.
