The bell went so I got up. Koshiro followed. "I think I'm in your class." Our class was just next door to the library that's why I always came here to study, so I wouldn't be late to class.

"You should be..." I walked into class... Someone stuck their leg out, I tripped and dropped my books. Everyone in the class laughed at me. Koshiro ran up to me. The bandage on my wrist was visable, I quickly pulled my sleeve down... But I knew that he had already saw.

"Outside...Now, Sachi..." He got my books and walked outside the classroom. "Sachi...are you okay?"

I looked away. "It's nothing..." He grabbed my hand, being careful not to hurt me... He began to lift up my sleeve.

"Nothing, huh?" He touched my arm gently. I cringed... "You don't have to do this...when life is bad..." I looked away...

"You don't understand..." Suddenly, I felt arms wrap around me... Koshiro was hugging me...

"I would understand if you told me." I looked up at him. His blue eyes were sparkling, even with the dimmed lights of the hallway.

"I have no one..."

"You have me... You can tell me..." I hugged him back. He was right. I did have him... Koshiro, a new boy...wanted to talk to me... Tears were in my eyes...

"My father is abusive and wishes I was..." I sobbed, "Never born..." The kept the tears back as best as I could.

"You have me... You don't need him... I'm here for you..."He held my hands... "Promise me, you won't cut anymore? At least try?"

"I promise..."

"Good..." He holds my hand as we walk back into class...
