I wake up to bright white snow falling out my window. Shinsou is sleeping peacefully.
I don't want to talk about last night. Maybe if I avoided him just for today it wont come up...
I get out of bed and put on a long sleeve shirt. I really have to do laundry. I check the time, it's 9:00am. There's a few people in the main dorm room. I quietly walk past them outside. It's cold. But still, pretty. I go stand by a tree, watching squirrels run up it as I come closer.
I feel a hand on my shoulder and quickly turn around. And of course it had to be Shinsou.
"You nearly scared the living daylights out of me!" I said, grabbing my chest.
"Sorry, you weren't in your dorm so I came out to look for you." He said, handing me a sweater.
I can't ignore him! But then that changed when I got a text from my mom...
Mom:
If someone tells me you're sleeping with a boy again, you are never to come home. -Mrs. Kaminari
Who told her? How would anyone find out?! Well it's someone.. I can't be seen with Shinsou anymore... on holidays when ua is closed where would I go?!
"I have to go..." I said, handing back the sweater.
"What? Why?"
"Because I just do ok?!" I turned around and walked away, trying not to cry.
I texted my mother;
Who told you
Mom:
Blond girl.
She somehow got in contact with Toga... I don't know how, but she clearly did.
"Babe wait!" He said, following me.
"I have to go!!" I didn't mean to yell.
Shinsou stoped. In a very sad tone he said, "..ok...".
I feel really guilty.
I really do want to be with you Shinsou, I really do...
I walked away, wiping tears as I went.
Thinking, what would Shinsou do if he were with me right now?
Looking over my shoulder, he's sitting at the tree looking down. Sad.
I hate this but I have to, even if they let me stay, i'd get beat if they knew we were still together.
I sit on a bench at the side of the school. Mina comes up to me,
"Hey, you ok?" She said, sitting down beside me.
I put away my phone. "If I'm being honest, no. Not at all..." I said, looking down at my feet.
"What happened?" Mina said.
I look at her. I think my expression told it for me.
"Who was it? Did they hurt you?" She asked,
"No no! It's not exactly a break up either.. I just told him I had to go...well, I yelled it actually.." I told her, somewhat unaware of what I just said.
"Him?" She asked.
I looked up at her, kind of nervous. "Y-yeah"
"Oh, ok, well, then why did you leave him?" Mina said, acting normal.
"You mean, you're ok with me being gay??" I asked, surprised.
"Why not?"
"Because it's weird.."
"Not at all, now, tell me what happened." Mina said. She's a great friend.
"Well, my mom somehow found out about us and well, she threatened I couldn't ever come home if it happened again.. and even if I could go back my dad would just beat me." I said, looking down at my feet again.
"Kaminari that's terrible! Now, go get yo man, and if something happens, you can stay at my house, kay?" She told me, holding my shoulder.
I smiled. "You'd really let me?" I said looking back at her.
"Anytime. Now, go get him." She said, pointing at Shinsou who was now walking sulky.
"Wha- how'd you know??" I said, very surprised.
"Lucky guess." She replied with a wink.
"Thanks." I got up and walked to Shinsou.
"What do you want know?" He said to me, walking somewhere with no people. That was good.
"I-I'm sorry... I was scared my parents would kick me out, or beat me, and I really didn't want that.... so I left you alone.. can we still be together?" I told him.
Shinsou was walking into the forest now.
"Please?" I asked again.
"Ok." He grabbed my hand and smirked.
He was just playing me all along! Seriously?! Well, I'm glad he's not actually mad though.
"I knew you'd comeback anyway." Shinsou said.
I stood against a tree. "I was just.. I don't know.. what if I lost you forever??"
