Nobita's POV: I'm Nobita Nobi. I had a crush on Shizuka since when I met her. I often felt jealous when I saw someone with her... Especially Dekisugi. I hated him. But, he acts friendly towards me like he doesn't know anything. Shizuka is a very kind person but as days passed, everything changed... I wondered whether she acts this way only towards... Me.

One particular day, I saw her, blushing at someone. I couldn't see who is it but I felt a rush of jealousy in me. As I looked closer, it was Dekisugi who was stealing all the attention from girls. He was surrounded by girls. He was very popular in this school. Whereas, I was the complete opposite of him... I sucked at getting attention. I was sure Shizuka was crushing for him. I mumbled “Ugh... He always gets in my way” I paused a bit as I thought “Wait... She doesn't act mean and rude to him?” I decided to notice her more frequently. She acted normal with everyone except for me... Seeing this, I rushed to my home “Doraemon!!!!” I screamed while running home. Doraemon was reading a comic. He looked at me, confused. I hugged him and cried a lot. He asked “Did you get beaten up or something? Or did you see Shizuka talking with Dekisugi?” he always asks this when I cry or get upset all of a sudden. I shook my head gently as I looked at him with a teary face. I managed to say, “Why does everyone compare me with Dekisugi? Even Shizuka does that too. She doesn't say it directly but I can understand that I wasn't enough for her. She acts rude to me only, all of a sudden. It makes my heart break” I said in a teary voice. For a moment, I thought he would understand me but... “Nobita... Everyone scolds you, for you to be better in future. It is pretty normal for people to compare. And, if you act more mature just like Dekisugi, I promise Shizuka will like you back!” He said. That made me tear up once again “You don't understand me either... I hate this... I hate Dekisugi...” I said, my voice had a slight hint of hate in it. Doraemon kept his comic book aside and said “You can't hate people just because they are better than you. Instead, you can try to be better than them.” His response made me frustrated more. I gritted my teeth and left my room, annoyed. Doraemon didn't stop me because he knew that I would come back easily... I came out of my house, walking in the streets, lowering my head. I decided to meet my friends to brighten up my mood. I ran to the park and we always played. I reached there and saw Dekisugi talking with my friends with a happy smile. Shizuka seemed comfortable with him, and so did my friends. Gian and Suneo were not that violent to Dekisugi. This only made me add insult to injury... I was about to walk away, that's when I heard Dekisugi's voice. “Hey, Nobita! Come here...” Shizuka also said, “Yeah, we are having a discussion here...” I knew that she forced herself to say that... She had a forced smile on her face. I knew a lot about her, so, finding her emotions was very easy.
Dekisugi's POV:I called him with a smile. I noticed how different Shizuka was acting now. But... Nobita looked a bit off. He was lowering his head after he looked at all of us before coming here slowly. Was it me or Nobita seem like he was crying? I just shook my head. Gian interrupted as he said, “Since summer holidays are starting soon, we've planned to study at Dekisugi's home.” Suneo nodded, “Yeah, you should join us too. If you can't, it's your wish...” he said in a mocking tone. I just ignored him and asked Nobita in a soft voice “So, are you coming?” Nobita looked at me and Shizuka as he lowered his head again. “Fine...” he said in an annoyed way... I wonder why he is upset. Shizuka doesn't seem to care about him at all. She just stood there in silence. I also looked at Shizuka before turning to Nobita again. “Glad you are coming. Make sure to come regularly at 4:30 pm.” I said with that usual smile I had. Everyone nodded. Shizuka, seemed to be quiet around Nobita... I wonder why. Did they have a fight or something? I mean... Shizuka liked talking to him... I don't know how did she turn like this. Okay... Let me not think about this too much.

After a while of discussion, we decided to play baseball. “I don't usually play games that much but I'll give it a try” I said awkwardly with a smile. Gian said “Ohh... You are fine... I'm sure, you'll get used to these. You are a good player.” “Yep! You are perfect in everything!!” Shizuka stated. I smiled awkwardly. I glanced at Nobita a little. I saw his face darken... Confused, I asked “Are you okay, Nobita? You seem off from the beginning...”
Nobita's POV: I felt a rush of rage and jealousy in me. Especially when Shizuka said that. My face was darkened. I was so lost in my thoughts that I didn't even notice Dekisugi's question. My head was lowered. He asked it several times. I finally snapped out of it and looked at him. “U-Uh... I-I'm completely F-Fine!!!” I said in a clumsy way. Shizuka seemed annoyed. That broke my heart a little. “But.. You don't look fine...” Suneo stated, his voice had a hint of concern. I forced myself to smile to hide how broken I was inside. I was doing my best to hide it. “I'm alright! Please don't worry!” Dekisugi said a little concern in his voice “I don't wanna force you. Sure... But make sure to tell us when you are down... Okay?” Gian nodded in concern. I should be proud to have caring friends... But Shizuka... She seemed annoyed by my presence. It hurt me a little... Even though Dekisugi was kind to me, I still hated him. I hated him for stealing all my attention from Shizuka... Why did she even change like this?...
Shizuka's POV: I saw him break... I knew he had a crush on me but... He isn't even my type. I only feel annoyed when he stays close to me or something like that. I felt guilty for breaking him but... I couldn't help... I have a crush on Dekisugi now... I broke the silence by saying “Guys, let's go play baseball. I'll cheer for ya' ll.” I said with a smile. “Okay. Let's go.” Gian said as we walked to the ground we usually play baseball. Nobita was walking slowly and fell down. I could tell that. Dekisugi was walking with me. For some reason, he said “Shizuka, you can go front, I'll try to cheer Nobita...” I'll have to do that so I nodded and went front. I didn't know what happened behind...

Dekisugi's POV:I came behind, looking at Nobita so sad. Once I reached to him. I asked, “You are definitely not okay. Tell me, aren't I your friend?” He hesitated a little. He stopped walking and stood in a place. Confused, I also stood beside him. “You can tell me anything you know...” I said, generally concerned. I saw Nobita tearing up slowly. “Life is not fair...” he mumbled... “Life isn't fair? What does it mean?” I asked confused. “Life doesn't give chances to me at all... And it's not fair... I feel like I'm the unluckiest person ever...” He tears up as he continues “Everyone compares me with others and says that I should be like them so people could like me... It's not fair... I have my own life too...” He was practically on the verge of breaking. I never saw him like this. I never saw him crying so seriously... Without thinking, I suddenly hugged him, comforting him...

Nobita's POV::That left me off-guard. Strangely, I wasn't pulling away. I cried more and more... I felt the warmth and comfort I had felt long ago. All that rage and jealousy in me was slowly fading away... I hugged him back and cried and cried and cried...

Shizuka's POV:We were at the baseball ground now. But Nobita and Dekisugi were missing. Suneo asked “Where is Dekisugi and Nobita?” “I'm sure that they came with us.” Gian asked confused. “Well, Dekisugi came with me. He said that he was going to talk with Nobita who came behind.” I said calmly. “Ohh...” They both said in chorus. “Let's wait for them then” Gian said. We waited...
