"You owe me man!"

"I don't owe you anything", Kaminari slurred, "I didn't see you kiss a girl."

"It was Kousaki! Y'know, the Japanese-American transfer student from class B? Blue hair. Glasses. Fairy wings. She's hot man, you can't miss her."

"Don't know her. Didn't see, don't have to pay."

"Tokoyami saw! He can vouch for me, right Tokoyami?"

The bird boy looked up from his crossed arms. "What?"

"You saw me kiss Kousaki, right?"

"Yeah..."

Sero paused, looking at his classmate.
"Hey man, you sound a little bitter.  Are you alright?"

"I'm well."

Sero raised an eyebrow at him. "You don't look well."

"He's probably jealous he didn't get to kiss the girl", Kaminari laughed drunkenly.

"I am not!", Tokoyami said firmly.

Was he?

Was this feeling in his chest jealousy?

"He might be", Sero snickered, "But it's fine man. Go hang out with your girl."

"She's my friend", Tokoyami corrected Sero, "And I will. She's a lot more sane than the lot of you."

Walking away from his classmates, he pulled his phone from the pocket of his jeans.

His thumb lingered over her contact.

Should he?

He wouldn't be bothering her and Ravan,  would he?

He tapped her contact and held the phone to  his bird ear.

"Hello?", the soft voice said from the other line.

"Kousaki, where are-"

"I went home, Toko-chan."

"Oh..."

Tokoyami was disappointed,  but something about her voice was bothering him.

"Are you feeling well?"

"I don't want to talk about it, Toko-chan."

Before he could respond, she hung up.

Tyler couldn't help it.

He couldn't help peering into his friend's mind.

And he was enraged at what he saw.

"She doesn't want you, you piece of shit!", he yelled, throwing his book across the room.

"Why can't you see that?!"

He fell to his knees, wiping away the tears that came from his eyes.
"She doesn't want you..."

"But I do..."

"Why can't you see that?..."
