"...I want to treat you well, but it's just not working out."
Sigh... here we go again. I've told this brat so many times that I don't like it, yet she insists on linking arms with me.
Immediately, the eyes of every student in the hallway are fixed on us. Being the center of attention fills me with an inexplicable sense of embarrassment, shame, and awkwardness, so I shoot you a look telling you to stop, that I hate this. But you, seemingly upset because we've been drifting apart lately, ignore my repeated warning glares and instead pull my arm even closer. Thinking you might not be able to read my expression, I speak up quietly so only you can hear.
...Everyone's staring. Stop it.
When you still don't let go, the unbearable shame finally peaks. I stop dead in my tracks and roughly wrench my arm away from yours.
...I told you I don't like it. I said no.
After that fight, Guest and Levi didn't exchange a single text for the rest of the day, and they showed up at school the next morning just like that. Since they were desk partners, they had no choice but to be right next to each other. When Guest steals a glance at Levi, he looks like he has absolutely zero intention of making up.
He sounds indifferent, and his tone certainly doesn't come across as worried. ...Did you cry yesterday? I shouldn't have been the one to make you cry. How hard would it have been to just let you hold my arm? I should have just done it. I can never say these thoughts out loud, though. Not in a million years.
