"You are always alone" I told him as I sat on the floor next to him.
"I'm not alone, I'm with you" he said as he looked ahead.
Well I guess he's right, after all I'm the only person who knows him.
"I guess, but you know it won't always be like this right?" I told.
Whenever you talked to him, and brought up this topic, he always feigns ignorance, but he should know very well that I know what he is thinking.
"What are you talking about?" He responded with another question.
I couldn't help but sigh at his answer, since I met him it's always been like that, he refuses to answer this question, but it's not like it's something new to me.
After all, I am the only person who is 100% familiar with it. Surely if they asked me 1,000 questions about him, I would answer easily.
"Why are you pretending not to understand? Someday I'll leave" I say without looking at him.
"Why would you go?" He said as he kept looking straight ahead unfazed by my words.
"Why would I go? Well I don't have that answer. I just know what will happen" I said closing my eyes.
"..."
"You do not say anything?" Asked.
I still remember the first time I was able to talk to him. He showed the same attitude that he showed to other people who wanted to get close to him.
He always asked me why he never tried to make friends, was it because he was shy, bad at socializing, or was just a loner.
"You know when I met you I only thought of one thing" he said still without looking at me
But as I spent time with him, I could understand his behavior pattern. He was generally peaceful when he didn't feel threatened, but when they tried to hurt him no matter how least he was, he became extremely aggressive.
"What did you think of?" I asked curious.
He was like a wild animal being released from his cage.
I never asked him why he was getting so aggressive, it wasn't because he was afraid of her, he just wasn't because he didn't want to make him feel uncomfortable.
12 years ago, something happened that made me very happy, it was the first time I felt that feeling, on that special day that I can never forget, he gave me a very special gift.
I still remember that moment with happiness, but the reality is that he never thought of me when he gave me that, he only thought of one thing when he gave me that. His own benefit, I never mind him. In his eyes I was always his puppet.
Even knowing that, I never really care what he thinks of me. If he considered me a friend or a stranger, that never mattered to me, because he gave me something that made me really happy.
But people eventually disappear from the world and that includes me, that's why I understood that one day what he gave me, he would disappear along with me.
"If I want to stay here, I must protect you until this body stopped moving" he replied as he put a hand on his chest and turned to see me.
"That's why I won't allow anyone to hurt you, whatever happens" he said as he looked at me with empty eyes.
I am not afraid of death, it is something that will come to everyone no matter what I went through.
"And how will you achieve that" I told him as he lifted me off the ground.
But before he disappears I would like to ask you one last question.
"Easy, I just have to take care of the people who hurt you"
What will you do when I disappear?
I was staring at the clock in my room while still lying on my bed.
Currently the clock indicated that it was 6:00 AM. Why was he looking at the clock? It is a fairly simple answer.
He had a theory that if you don't take your eyes off a clock, time will slow down.
Why did he do it? Because I wanted to continue enjoying the comfort of lying in a comfortable bed. After all, it took me a long time to find the bedrooms yesterday.
I guess it was in vain, that the time I passed slower does not mean that it stops.
I got up from my bed lazily and headed to the bathroom to take a shower, after that I walked to my closet, grabbed my school uniform and started dressing.
After doing everything I had to do, I looked at my watch again. It's 6:40 AM, as classes start at 7:00 AM I should start directing right now.
I took my suitcase, and left my room at a slow pace.
As I walked towards my classroom, I could feel the gazes of some students fixed on me.
I looked in their direction for a second, but all I saw was a group of angry girls. I didn't know their names, but I knew they belonged to my class.
She asked me why people I don't know would get mad at me. We are just classmates, maybe I did something wrong.
That's impossible, I don't remember doing something wrong yesterday, or maybe I did something that you didn't like indirectly?
Now that I think about it I did yesterday. I spoke with a girl at the entrance of the school, then I went to the entrance ceremony and finally I ended up in the classroom.
Maybe they didn't like my behavior, if maybe that was it! Now that I think about it I fell asleep in the classroom yesterday.
Well at least the teacher didn't get mad at me or that's what she created, I also preferred to do other things than get to know my classmates better.
Wait … wait, those weren't the girls who looked at a boy as if he were his prince.
If I remember correctly, his name was Hirata. Yesterday when I fell asleep in class my classmates looked at me annoyed, but I noticed those looks much more intense than when I was talking with Hirata. Obviously those looks were coming from the girls.
If that's why they're upset, isn't that ridiculous? Why would you bother with someone you don't know just because she misbehaved with a guy … that you don't even know!
I would like to tell them to their faces that they are idiots, but it would only cause more hatred against me. Why am I thinking about this right now, well I don't really care.
I hurried my pass to get to class as quickly as possible, I didn't want to be late.
When I entered the classroom, there were a few students who were patiently waiting for classes to start, and the rest were simply focused on their casual talks.
When I decided to walk to my desk, I could immediately feel a change of environment.
Most of the students decided to stop what they were doing until now just to focus solely on me.
Hears! hears! Why is this change of environment suddenly, and why are they looking at me, did I do something wrong or are they just simple coincidences, but they are not too many coincidences in such a short time. First yesterday and then today.
Hang on a minute! Think carefully about what is happening to you right now, just before I entered the room some girls were looking at me badly, but that also happened yesterday when I fell asleep in class, but if I remember correctly they were not so upset.
Now that I think about it all these events started to happen when I decided to skip the presentation he proposed… Hirata…. Don't tell me they thought what I was discussing with Hirata, that doesn't make sense it's not like they were deaf either, but they didn't hear the conversation.
Maybe I should apologize with a smile, if that will fix everything ... Idiot! That is impossible, I don't even know how to do it and also why should I apologize, they should do it not me. After all they are misunderstanding things.
I demand an apology right now!
What am I thinking, am I an idiot? I shook my head from left to right and then walked back to my desk while I could still feel the stares of the students. I sat in my chair and placed my backpack on the desk, while resting my arms on my backpack.
My neighbor was also in the classroom, she was reading a book while ignoring everything that was happening in the class, I decided to look away from her and lose myself in my thoughts again.
Now that I think about it, what is happening to me will not be a series of bad misfortunes.
