Distance, Time and Space

Chapter 10

Kyo arrived at school, walking straight to his classroom. Kyo is in his 4th year of middle school, planning to enter a university after high school. He already passed his application for early registration, making sure he would not be late for a slot at that university.

Despite being a high school student, he is already of legal age. I think that is one of the reasons why it is hard for him to have friends since the students around him are much younger.

As usual, no one will talk to him unless they need something or there is a project they need to finish. Thinking he is the problem, always excluding himself from others, and keeping to himself.

When he arrived at the classroom, some of his classmates were already in there, having a random conversation. He goes towards his seat at the back of the room, beside the window, to take a seat.

As time went on, they attended the usual subjects they entered every day. While listening to their last professor, he notices someone at the side of his eyes, making him glance at it. He saw Ren sitting on the branch of the tree that was beside the building he was in, staring at him. Kyo was shocked, not because he saw Ren, but because he is on the third floor.

"How the fuck did he get up on the tree that is so high?"

When the class finished, Kyo immediately ran out of the room. As he went out of the building, he looked around the school, looking for Ren. He is panting because of the sprint he did earlier.

"You lookin' for me?"

Kyo heard Ren's voice from his back, which made him look back. "Why are you here?"

"Don't you like me to be here?"

"It's not like that, this is a school. I'm sure you're aware."

Ren was about to respond but was interrupted when two girls approached both of them, making both of them look at the girls.

"Kyo. Kyo, right? We are in the same class. Do you know us?" the girl with blonde hair said as she smiled.

"Yeah, of course I do."

"To think you know us even though we barely talk inside the room. You really have a good memory, huh, and you're really nice too. You're going great on activities, especially in written works." The other girl with brown hair chuckles as she slightly taps Kyo's arm, which makes Ren stare at Kyo's arm.

"Is that so?" Kyo said nonchalantly.

"U-uhm... Kyo, this guy who is with you... Who is he? Is he your friend?" the blonde girl asked.

"I knew it. You need something from me. You wouldn't talk to me other than that. I hate to admit it, but I can't blame you. Ren is attractive."

"Ohh, this is Ren. He's my friend."

Ren smiled at them, which made the two girls blush. The girls shake Ren's hands and start talking to him, ignoring Kyo, like he wasn't even there.

Kyo was about to leave, but suddenly Ren grabbed his arm, putting his own arms around Kyo's neck, and started walking while waving. "Sorry girls, I don't think I can chat with you any longer. Kyo and I needed to do something."

The two girls looked so disappointed, but not that they could do anything about it, so all they could do was just keep quiet and look at Kyo and Ren as they walked away from them.

____________________

They are walking quietly under the sun, feeling the heat of the air that is touching their skin. It's hot, but not that much. It's summer, after all; it can be tolerated. But in this quietness, Ren suddenly spoke.

"You really plan to leave me with them?"

"Yeah, why not? You're the one they want, I am not needed there."

Ren pouted, "But I came here for you."

Kyo glanced at Ren, who was walking straight with both hands in his pocket. Kyo smiled and looked above, seeing the blue sky and exhaling the air.

"Then, should we grab something to eat?"

Ren smiles and says, "I won't take down that offer."

Kyo and Ren enter a store and go to the counter to order the food they want to eat. As they finish ordering, they take a seat at the corner of the store.

"Where did you get the money you used to pay for these?" Kyo asked, cutting a piece of his cake he had ordered earlier.

"I sell my accessories."

Kyo choked and burst into laughter. "W-what?! Those rings in your fingers? So that's why you're not wearing them. Hahaha, someone really bought those?"

"Yeah." Ren started to laugh also.

"Why did you do that? Aren't they important to you?"

Ren leaned back to his chair, his hand barley covering his mouth as he smirked. 

"Of course they do, but I do that so that I can support you."
