Infinity x The World

His Distraction

(Kyo⬆️)

Class started. Boring, boring, boring so let's skip to break.

I caught up with Yukio outside. Don't think that I've forgotten about this boy! He's still a very important part of this book you see. So let's proceed...

"Yukio! Hey!" I called as I walked up to him.

Mei was sitting reading and Sora was attacking one of the people in our group of friends. We'll call him... Kuro.

"Hey," Yukio returned as he threw a ball at the wall.

He was playing with some of our friends to see who could catch the ball.

"You ok today?" I asked, attempting to catch the ball.

It went past my hands and hit my head.

Yukio ran after it but someone else playing caught it and threw it back at the wall, almost hitting me!

"Never mind!!!" I yelled as I stumbled away from the people trying to hit me.

I began to head back inside. When suddenly...

"Go back," came a voice.

"Hm? Oh, it's you. What do you want?" I asked, seeing Infinity standing in front of me.

Was he... watching me...?

"Go back," he repeated.

"No way! Did you not just see what happened? I got my face punched with a tennis ball!" I complained.

Infinity looked at my forehead to see the red mark.

"Hm," he turned his back.

"Hey! Don't just start a conversation and leave!" I barked.

"You're going to let yourself get hurt for this? You really are stupid, aren't you?" Infinity told me.

"Uh... Mmm! On second thoughts, If you're here to bug me then you can just go. I don't want you as a friend that badly," I grunted.

"If that's really what you thought then you would have left me alone. Anyway, I'm curious," he told me.

"Uh. Wh-what do you mean?" I asked.

"You. You're curious. I don't understand you at all. Why do you hurt yourself over that boy over there? And I don't just mean physically," Infinity told me.

My face dropped as I glanced over at Yukio.

"Because I like him, ok? I don't know why. That's just what happens when you love someone and they don't feel the same, ok? It's just... a crush..." I mumbled shyly.

"Well, it sure is crushing," Infinity mentioned.

"Oh, why would you care? Not like you've ever felt anything like this so I don't expect you to understand," I grunted.

"Oh, believe me, I don't understand at all. It's more than a little obvious that the boy over there will never be by your side. Not that he's worth that much anyway," Infinity told me.

My face grew red to his comment.

He looked at me in confusion.

"You... think... Yukio isn't good enough to be with me? So you're saying you truly believe I'm worthy of more...?" I mumbled with a confused expression.

Was he actually being nice to me...?

"More than him? Certainly. He's just a nobody... so plain and insignificant. What qualities stand out to you to find attractive is beyond me. You're not even that alike," he continued.
