Arriving home I didn't bother to eat, I opened my phone and saw that I'd missed 10 calls from Akira and 20 from Kentaro.
I turned off my phone and fell asleep.
The doorbell rang and I looked at the time I'd been asleep for an hour and a half. I went to open the door and was surprised to see Kentaro and Akira
jumping out at me (literally).
Kentaro:-Espece didiote!! Just think, anyone could have kidnapped you, I've got lots of enemies, and they already know about you!
He shook me by the shoulders.
I looked at him with emotionless eyes, and he squinted in surprise.
Akira:-All's well
Me:-Mmm, what do you want???
From behind I saw Yuna Tohru and Kaya.
Kentaro:-Hey, what's wrong with you?
Me:- Nothing's wrong.
Kentaro:-Hein??
Me:-I said get the hell out of my house!!! All of you get the hell out!
Kentaro gave me a look that spoke volumes and dropped a piece of paper.
I picked it up and read.
"Meet me tomorrow at 4.30 p.m. in the park as usual"
I sighed, so I might as well listen to him or he'd be pissing me off all week.
The next day I stayed at home all day.I didn't want to see anyone.Akira had been pestering me with messages and I'd decided to call Yune to see her as she was making the trip to shibuya tokyo today.Arriving at 2pm I went down to the rendezvous point and saw her again.I had tears in my eyes.I ran up to her and hugged her.
Me:-Yune-nee!!!!! I MISSED YOU TOO MUCH!
Yune:-AYAME-NEEEEE!!!
We stayed like that for a good while before smiling and laughing.
Me:-I missed you so much!
Yune:-You're coming in too?
We entered the café and I ordered a pistachio parfait and she a cheese cake.
We both had matcha lattes.
Me:-So school?
I instantly regretted my question at her reaction: I had just noticed her enormous dark circles, even though they were hidden by make-up.
Me:-Yune
Yune:-Ayame listen
Me:-You don't have to give me a summary, I've understood.
Yune:-Ayame listen to me I
I looked at her and smiled.
Ayame:-No, it's okay, listen, I'll take care of it, all right? Let's talk quietly
She sighed, then smiled sadly.
Yune:-So you've made friends?
Ayame:-Euu let's put it this way
She frowned and I sighed as I began to explain to her, from A to Z, my inquetietude with kentaro akira Yuna, Tohru's striking resemblance to my progenitor, and my interaction with Kaya. She drank her matcha and then looked at me.
Yune:-You should open up more, you know.
Ayame:-I've done enough.
I finished the last bite of my parfait and she glared at me.
Yune:-Idiot! You've got to learn to trust people if this keeps up, they'll get scared, you know.
Ayame:-What do you mean?
Yune:-They'll get the impression that you hate them, that you think they're nothing, that you yell at them and stand them up.
Aaaa!!! Ayame!
Ayame:-What?! what?!!!!
Yune:-It's 16h20! Kentaro!
Shit!
Ayame:-Euu Cao Yune-nee I have to go sorry!!!
Yune:-OK you tell me tonight I'm sleeping at your place, don't forget!!!
Ayame:-Yes don't worry
I left in a hurry and let Yune pay.
I'd pay her back later.
Jarriva at the park 16h45.Putin 15 minutes late I saw Kentaro not far away.
I called out to him, he turned and glared at me, and I sighed.
Looks like we're right back where we started.
Kentaro:-Damn Ayame! You're not making any effort.
Me:-Why should I?
Kentaro:-How ironic, you're the one who told me to reach out to others! Not to be selfish and to make an effort.
Ayame:-Because you've got people around you who count on you as a brother, as a best friend, as a leader!
Kentaro:-And you don't? Don't tell me you don't have anyone this girl Yune is your friend, isn't she? her parents? akira? and...
he looked away generously
Kentaro:-Me.
Jecarquilla's eyes widened in surprise, but he stopped right there - I couldn't give in!
Me:-Seriously, don't take the piss, we've known each other for what, a month?
Kentaro:-And that doesn't stop me from getting attached to you too, Akira! Ayame you don't realize it but you have a power over people.you're naturally charismatic and personable.you may be cold at first impression but you're a superb friend.you've opened my eyes you've made me a better person and I thank you sincerely.for everything.
What's the point? he'll abandon me anyway, like everyone else Yune and his parents are the only ones I can trust.
I bite my lower lip.
Me:-It's no use when you see my true face, I'll become a monster in your eyes, so leave me alone.
I turned my back and left, feeling a warm liquid running down my cheek.
Fucking shit!!!!
Pov Kentaro
After we met a week ago, Yame didn't mince her words.
I met Kaya's gaze and saw guilt, what had she done?
I suspected that Ayame wouldn't have distanced herself overnight.
So what the hell had happened?
At the end of French class (where I'd slept anyway, no one was listening except Ayame) I went to see Kaya.
Me:-Kaya-chan!
Kaya:-Kentaro-kun?? what do you need?
Me:-Yeah, to talk
Kaya:-What about?
I brought her over to a bench and we sat down.
Me:-So what happened with Ayame?
She was visibly upset by the question.
Kaya:-I talked shit to her and hurt her, I shouldn't have and I'm sorry.
She told me everything she'd said to her, and now I understood how she felt. She must have been wondering how and why she'd easily accepted our company and our closeness. I frowned, I had to see her!
I tousled Kaya's hair and smiled at her.
Me:-Don't worry, you'll have plenty of time to make it up to her!
