"I hope you guys will be happier...without me."
It was the last few words that Blake would write. It was too much. He had endured it for too long. Enough was enough. His friends and relatives all watched as his body was slowly wrapped up. He had killed himself. His best friend Shiina was crying when she saw his body. She never realized or saw the signs.

He fidgeted nervously, wondering if he should turn back. She was just in front of him, yet he could not go near her. He wondered if this was a good idea. Suddenly, he felt a shove and the next thing he knew, he was standing in front of her. Laika Aikawa, the most popular girl in school. He thought it was a ridiculous thing. She looked at him with a questioning look. Her shining eye gave him the motivation to say his thoughts.
"Will you go out with me?"
He looked at Laika. She was blushing heavily. She lowered her head. Blake was crestfallen. He turned to leave. Then something made him stop dead in his tracks.
"Yeah, sure."
He turned around, shocked at what he heard. They looked each other in the eyes. Then everyone around him cheered. His blind shot was a success.
The next day, Blake looked around. He wanted to have recess together with Laika. Suddenly, he saw her, walking with some of her friends. He walked over to her. As soon as her friends saw her, they left Laika and Blake alone. For a minute, they walked in silence. Then Laika broke the silence.
"What did you find in me that made you fall in love with me?" she asked. Blake looked at her in the eyes and said, "I should be the one asking that."
"Well, I often see you helping people no matter who they are and that you're always nice to others."
Blake smiled and said, "Well, I saw that you weren't just beautiful in terms of your looks, but also you're very nice in treating other people."
Blake and Laika smiled at each other. Their relationship was off to a good start. For the next 1 month, they would always have lunch and eat together. They would also spend whatever free time they had with each other. Blake smiled. He thought himself lucky that he had gotten such a good girlfriend.
