Chapter 2: 10th grade
Seconds, microseconds, milliseconds, nanoseconds passed since that faithful day and before we knew it, we were in the 10th grade now.
School was like usual – boring and lackluster. But I never got bored because she would sit next to me everyday but Fudou would sit behind us and bother me when she was not looking.
I knew that had something going on. They were in a relationship. I didn't mind. Everyone has the right to live their own life in their own ways.
Even when I was sick and feeble, I came to school just to see her smile.
And when she missed school, it felt like it is taking forever for time to pass.
Like a bad dream, she missed a very important class.
She didn't come to class the next day either.
I got worried sick and then wished for her to be all right. God heard my wish and she came the next day.
As I sat there in English class that day, I stared at the girl who sat next to me.
She was my so-called 'Best Friend'
I stared at her long silky hair as it was swaying in the unsullied winter zephyr.
And I wished that she were mine.
But I knew that she didn't notice me like that.
After class, she asked nearly everyone for the notes of the previous days but no one wanted to give them to her just because she was the topper of the class and Fudou didn't have them.
So she walked up to me asked me for them and a handed them to her and she said "thanks" and gave me a kiss on the cheek.
"You are a true friend."
Friends.
Best friends.
Best friends forever.
Still too little, still so small.
I want to tell her, I want her to know-
That I don't want to be just friends,
I love her but I'm just too shy,
But I don't know why…
I REPEAT THIS IS NOT A FUBUKI X READER FIC.
I will reveal who the girl is later when *someone* dies.
I need friends I'm not feeling the aster.
