"Fumi fumi fumikoooo~" I'm in a good mood today. I ate delicious food yesterday, I have my nails done, and my makeup looks good!
"What's with you today?" Fumi asked.
I showed her my light purple nails with cute bow designs.
"Omg!! Where did you get that?" she was amazed too!
"Ino wanted to go the mall after we ate dinner so I went with him and got these"
"Uwaaaa! Please bring me there too!" her eyes were shining.
"I will!" I gave her a thumbs up!
"H-heyy! Yumi!"
We saw Jin at the door catching his breath.
Why is everyone running a marathon these days?
"W-wait... let me... let me catch my—"
"What's going on?" Fumi asked.
"H-hiro and Kenji! T-they're fighthing!"
"What?!"
What the hell?!
I stood up immediately and Jin pulled me.
"Are you sure you want to see it? They're talking about you and they started punching each other— it's a mess!"
What the hell is happening? Hiro? and Kenji? I thought they don't know each other!
"H-hey! Quit it you two!" I saw Shun trying to meddle but he can't.
"How could I stop, when he is so fucking pathetic!" Hiro shouted.
"What the hell is your problem?!" Kenji started throwing punch at him.
I can't speak.
"You're the problem, asshole." and Hiro threw a punch again.
I can't even move.
I don't know what they are fighting about.
"Why would you date someone..." and Hiro punch him again.
"You won't even treat her good..."
"and love her..."
"and take care of her..."
"and you shithead, break up with her..."
"because of a fucking dare?"
I lost it.
A dare?
What dare?
"Ayumi..." Fumi's beside me. I didn't even noticed.
"Hey stop it! Someone stop them!" Jin said.
"Hiro stop it!"
I heard someone stopped them but I can't even look.
Not when Kenji's around...
A dare?
He broke up with me... because of a dare?
Is that...
is that how he thinks of me?
Someone that can be thrown away easily?
"Ayumi... let's go..." Fumi's held my hand.
I just followed her. My feet followed her.
My mind is just blank.
A dare...
I'm just worth a dare.
That's how it is...

Classes were longer today. I didn't even eat anything today.
Fumi kept asking that I should eat but I don't have the energy to do it.
I feel exhausted. Although I haven't done anything.
I just kept remembering the times Kenji and I were dating.
I wonder if any of those were real for him.
Because at least for me, they are...
I dated three guys before Kenji.
But I never played with them. Even Kenji.
I always think that when someone have the courage to commit to a relationship, I think they deserve to be valued.
That's how I think.
People told me it's foolish.
But I kept insisting that it's not.
But maybe now, it won't be like that.
I always love the people who are close to me, unconditionally.
I never thought that they would do something horrible like this.
Because I don't want to think it that way.
"Ayumi... do you want me to go home with you?"
"It's okay Fumi, we have a lot of tasks you should go home" I said. I tried to smile at her.
"Are you sure? Don't you want to eat first?"
I noticed that everyone was gone inside the classroom. It's just Jin and Fumi with me.
"You should eat Yumi, you haven't eaten yet. It's my fault bringing you there... I should have not—"
"No it's okay Jin. At least I know now"
I fixed my things and put them inside my bag.
It's already 5PM. I didn't even noticed the time.
"Let's go—"
"Ayumi" We heard a voice from the door.
"Can we talk?"
It's Hiro.
