[Middle School, lunch break.]
"Hey Kea~ what're you up to this morning!" Two girls stood above the desk, their intimidating presence put me in a tongue-tie like usual.
"I- I'm not doing anything important!" I stuttered.
"Really? But it looks cool, why won't you share your experience with us?"
Please leave me alone…
"N- no, I can't." I hid my face between the note papers I was working with.
"Aww. Can't you show us your face at least~"
I'm going to die…
"Hey. I'm not sure why you're here, but leave him alone. He clearly doesn't like your presence."
"But I'm just trying to talk~" the girl reasoned.
"If you were trying to 'make talk' then you wouldn't have made him feel uncomfortable on purpose now would you!?"
"I'm sorry…" she muttered.
"Tsk. Are you ok, Kea?"
I looked up from my notes. "Yeah, thanks for that, Kusuo."
He slapped me on the back. "It's no problem, I'll never just watch someone like that get picked on. Especially if you're the target!"
