Life is kinda dumb, to be honest.
One minute you're laughing, and the next you're deserted by the one person you love most. . . . Or maybe I'm just projecting.

As I stepped into class, I was greeted with the same faces I saw every day. My eyes immediately darted to one girl: Rio Nakamura. I set my bag down before I sat down next to her, with a light skip in my step.
"What's with you today? You seem like you actually got sleep," she grinned, noticing my eye bags were lighter than usual.
"It's 7:am and you're already teasing me," I sighed. She always had a new way to poke fun at me, but I never really minded it. I rested my head on my desk, trying to dose off. In reality, I got no sleep. This girl was stuck in my mind all night, and it was a miracle I had extra concealer to cover my dark circles.
"Oi, Rini," I heard a familiar guy say. I looked up to see Karma Akabane, the class delinquent. But that's what all the snobs called him. To me and Rio, he was our best friend, and biggest annoyance.
"What do you want this early in the morning," I groaned, giving him my worst glare. He laughed at my sorry attempt at scaring him away.
"Relax, I didn't mean to stop you from hibernating," he sneered. This bitch. In one swift motion, I lifted up my hand to swing at his face, affectively punching him square in the cheek.
"You had it coming."
"Gosh, so mean," he fake pouted.
"Go away."
None of our classmates batted an eye at this exchange. It was my daily routine: get teased by Rio and Karma, hit Karma, and then go back to crushing on Rio.
But there's only one way to describe my crush: unrequited. She seemed to have a thing for Nagisa, the blue-haired boy that Karma and Rio loved to tease. She's out of my league too, and I wouldn't be surprised if she had Karma under her spell. But I didn't mind, because everyone leaves one day or another. It's best that I keep this healthy distance before I fall even harder.
