Classmates

I was 18 years old and went to the second year of high school. I lived with my grandma. My parents died in a car accident. Every saturday, I distribute newspaper. One day, I met Rin at the door, when I was about to give them newspaper. We were shocked, then we hadn't guessed it.

Rin was my classmate and was 19 years old. He wasn't like me. He had a lot of friends. In contrast to him, I only had one friend and I didn't talk so much. I didn't trust anybody so easily. Because he is so opposite from me, we didn't talk with each other at the school. When we saw each other that day, we talked for the first time. He was nice and cool. After this day, he came and spoke with me at school. One day, he invited Misaki and me to a blind date. Misaki is my childhood friend and was there, when my parents died.

"Taki, you should go with me there. You have to be social. You can't always stay alone. I mean, you have me. But you have to find someone you can spend you life with, someday.", Misaki said to me. I knew that he was right. So we went to the date. I spoke with some girls. Anyway I had to admin that I didn't like dates. After a few minutes I went to the restroom. I washed my face and noticed behind me someone. It was Rin. He asked: "Should we go outside? I want to talk with you."

Somehow, I had the feeling that he noticed my boredom. We said goodbye to others and went to a nearly restaurant. We ordered some food and sat on a table.

"About what do you wanted to talk with me?", I asked him.

He smiled and said: "About nothing. I just noticed that you were bored and wanted to talk with you."

Later, we went to Rins house and his brother opened the door. We went to his room and his mother get us some tea.We talked all the time and he told me his story. He told me that his father abandoned as he was 4 years old.

I asked him: "Why do you tell me this?"

He answered smiley: "I'm telling you all this because I want to be friends with you. I also want to trust you, because I find it important to trust somebody."

Although he laughed, he looked sad.

Afterwards he asked: "Would you like to be friends with me?"

I answered smiley: „Sure!"

The next day I talked with Misaki after the school. I apologized and told him about everything what happened.

"Stop apologizing and thanks to you I have a new girlfriend. Also something nice happening to you.", he said smiley.

I blushed. Suddenly Rin came and pulled me on my arm to a corner, where nobody could see us. He looked angrily and hurtfully at me.

He said: "I love you." and went again.

I was shocked and couldn't sleep the evening. Always when I wanted to sleep, I remembered Rins conversation.

Monday he advised me and flirted with some girls. I tried to ignore him and went with Misaki to the school roof. On the way there, I saw Rin hugging with a girl und I became jealous of the situation. I was so hurt that I started to cry in front of Misaki.

He consoled me and asked: "What's wrong? Are you hurt?"

I told him everything und he said: "I have a plan."

I asked confused: "What?"

"Just do what I tell you right now and everything will be fine", he said with a smirk.

After this day Misaki came to me, chatted with me and put his finger on my hair in front of Rin. Afterwards he hugged me and Rin saw me angrily.

After a hour Misaki came to me and said: "Just laugh."

I didn't know why, but did it anyway. Rin saw me again angrily and pulled me on my arm. I was shocked. He pulled me to his house, where nobody was except us. He pulled me to his room and pushed me to the wall.

He kissed me aggressively. Suddenly I saw the picture, where he hugged the girl. I pushed him , but he hugged me strongly and began to cry. I was shocked.

Then he said: "What should I do, so you love me back? I can't anymore. I even tried to make you jealous, but became instead jealous. I can't anymore."

I hugged him back. He looked at me surprised. I admitted my feelings: "You don't have to do this anymore. I love you too."
