The Sad Truth Of Ryuu

PLEASE CORRECT ME IF I HAVE ANY GRAMMATICAL ERRORS, THANK YOU!!

---

On the day of my English Prelim Exams(which was last week), Ryuu and I were tested in different classrooms for some reason. My good friends, Alice and Jenna,were tested in the same classroom as Ryuu for some reason too. Luckily,the English Prelim Exams were quite easy for me.

The next day,Alice told me that Jenna told Ryuu that I liked him,like why would she tell him that? How did she know that I liked him? I was so furious at Jenna that when I saw her during recess, I went up to her and wanted to slap her on her face but of course I didn't. Why would I do that kind of heartless thing to my good friend? I just went up to her and asked her to confirm it.

She admitted that she did tell Ryuu that I liked him and I was not the least bit surprised. But I was very shocked when she said this,"Rose, I know that you are angry at me for telling Ryuu that. Honestly, it's quite obvious you like him as you keep on talking about him since Grade 5 and trying to ask us for help to keep in touch with him. In case you didn't know,Ryuu has to perform a surgery in December as he has a brain tumour and he needs to remove it." I just stood there with my mouth wide open. I didn't even know about that! Why didn't he tell me that? I am his good friend(sort of)!

Seeing me just standing there not talking,Jenna continued," He told the whole class about it, even me, don't tell me he didn't tell you? Anyway, that's why I told him that you liked him so you could be his girlfriend and help and comfort him. You should feel sorry for him as it is very painful to remove a brain tumour and having one." I took a look at Ryuu with widened eyes who was at the opposite side of the canteen table talking and laughing with his friends. I ran. I ran and ran into the nearest toilet and entered into one of the stalls. I cried softly and pitifully. If I had known that he has a brain tumour, I wouldn't have been making fun of him since Grade 5(not really making fun)! I hated myself for being so stupid!

Since the end of Grade 5, I did noticed Ryuu having many headaches and fevers easily and was often absent from school but I didn't really found out the cause of it! I was so stupid! I can't believe Ryuu can still manage to act like he doesn't need to perform a surgery at the end of the year and not in pain! I admired him so much and hated myself! I cried until recess was over and silently went back to class with my classmates.
