Lonely boy

"You gonna cry, girly face?"

The yells.

"Aren't girls supposed to be polite?"

The insults.

"I'll tear your tongue out for what you just said."

The punches.

And worst of all, indifference.

Averted eyes. Accelerated walk. Nothing to see here! Move along. Noone important is being beat up.

Sousuke hoped all these things remained in the past.

"You want my personal data?" giggled Hanako-san. "What are you going to use it for?"

"It's part of social study I'm conducting!" resisted Amane. "Tell her!"

"Umm... why am I stuck between you two?" asked Sousuke.

Sousuke was caught between Amane and Hanako. A mokke was sitting on his head.

"Because Amane-kun won't leave me alone!"

"Because Hanako-san won't tell my anything, Mitsuba-kun! All I'm asking is your real name, blood type, family structure and date of death!"

"Why would you need a date of death for a social study?"

"Why would not I?"

The two continued bickering, ignoring Sousuke's presence. They did not stop him when he got up and left.

Lie!

Lie!

Friendship is a lie!

There's no such thing as friendship! As soon as cute girl shows up, the "friend" will dump you for her. Sousuke felt tears in his eyes.

He felt more lonely than ever. He used to be alone in elementary school. It was sad but bearable. But the past weeks with friends showed him how much fun and joy he missed out. And now the illusions have been shattered, and Sousuke found abyss staring at him again.

He could not bear to go to the class, knowing that Amane is going to be there. He reached out for his camera.

Sightseeing was comforting. Cold, alone, but familiar. He took a picture of clouds, and then thought of something.

The pictures of Amane and Hanako-san he took at the rooftop developed strangely. There were spatial distortions around the place where invisible Hanako was. Sousuke scanned the film and opened it in graphical editor. Several hours of trial and error with filters, and he got it.

A photo image of a ghost.

He showed the pictures in the photo club, but his clubmates did not get it. They told him the photos were corrupted and that he edited the ghost in. Sousuke did not show the photos to his friends, seeing how far their interests were from photography.

Now would be the perfect time to go ghost hunting.

Sousuke looked around. If he were a ghost, where would he be?

He spent half an hour taking pictures that would normally be bizzare. A corner of building; an empty road; empty hallway; under a tree. Snap! Snap! Hopefully something interesting will come out of it.

He was so occupied that he did not notice an actual ghost.

"Hi Sousuke-kun! What are you doing?" Hanako-san was smiling.

"Hmpf! None of your radish business!"

"Did I do something wrong?" Hanako-san looked into his eyes.

"You! You!" Sousuke wanted to tell her how she ruined everything he held dear, but words just did not come from his mouth. "JUST LEAVE ME ALONE, YOU STUPID GREEDY LIFESUCKING SUCCUBUS FROM THE TOILET!"
