3┇jealousy with a pinch of salt

┇three┇

It's been quite a while since Aiura had joined the class. She was quite the charismatic one, almost everyone is comfortable with talking to her. By the time their attention soon averted back to Teruhashi, Aiura had just found that her soulmate was...

Saiki Kusuo.

Weird as it is, turns out that Saiki was also a psychic, just like Aiura. Though, maybe a bit too overpowered, but Aiura only knows a certain limit of his possible tricks.

It was also quite tricky to even spend time with him, as he always seems to know when and where they would appear, thus effectively hiding when the time calls for it. But, similarly, Aiura also knew where and when he would hide, it was almost creepy at how accurate she is sometimes.

Well, that's Aiura for you. She would often pop up next to the distressed boy, and start to blabber on incessantly, like a neverending waterfall of words and phrases. Had he ignore her, he would be targeted by Aiura's followers, and he didn't want that. So, he simply listened like a mindless doll, allowing the blonde to follow him wherever he goes, including the cafe.

Aiura knew how disinterested the boy is, but she didn't want to give up. As long as she could enjoy the short time they have together, she would be content.   

One person, in particular, didn't enjoy their time together. She looked at them with bitter jealousy, but she couldn't help but feel a little dejected. She's the perfect pretty girl after all, what good would it do to the plain, unordinary boy if she had confessed to him?

Does he even like her back? She doesn't really know at this point. Every time she glances at the pink-hair boy, it's no longer just him in the vision. A certain blonde would invade her sight, pestering Saiki like a stubborn leech. She hated it, but it seems that he'd prefer Aiura's company instead of hers, and so she decided to suck it up and respect it.

Though, she still couldn't help but think about how much she wanted to be in Aiura's position instead.

Days have passed. She's still lingering by his side. How long is this going to keep up? Weeks? Months? Years? The blue-haired girl always seems to be on the edge nowadays, her eyes often drift to nowhere, simply staring into the blanks as she dozes off.

Teruhashi is on the verge of giving up. She couldn't handle the heartbreak she would feel when she sees them together. Saiki was never the one for her in the first place, why chase after something so impossible to reach?

Wouldn't it feel so much better to just give it all up?
