Chapter 4 - Trust Issue

I'm transferring to another school in my final year of middle school due to the rumors spreads like wildfire. I don't want Hina to get any more trouble with me so I decide to leave the school and transfer more far than my house and the school.

I rent a apartment by myself, I beg my parent's to let me live a lot although they couldn't care less about it. So I left the house and start to live by my own. 

It's good cause the middle school I'm going it's pretty near to my apartment and it's pretty convenient. 

As I transfer to my new middle school for almost 5 months now. I opened my shoe locker

"Hm? What is this letter?" I decide to look at it.

It's a god damn love letter. Why would someone give me a love letter. I'm not even that attractive nor handsome... Look at the name...

"Aikawa Mina?"

Aikawa Mina is the most popular girl in the school right now. Third year student... C-3.. same class as me. Extroverted and beautiful... why would Aikawa Mina give me a love letter for... 

"I'm a little embarrassed to write this letter, but I feel like I really want to tell you, so I'm going to take the plunge. Kazama Rei, since the first day we met, your smile has been etched into my heart. Being with you makes even the most ordinary day feel special. I'm still inexperienced and have a lot to learn, but I want to grow together with you. I would like to continue to have a relationship where we can support each other and smile. I would be very happy if you could accept my feelings. I want to hear your answer after class behind the blossom tree." 

Must be a mistake. Definitely a mistake. No doubt. 

I think I should check it out and meet her. 

After class, I met Mina behind the blossom tree....

"Please Go out with me, Rei-kun" She bowed..? 

"One question... Why do you even pick me in the first place?"

"uhh.... I like your smile? And you're kind!" she answered. 

"uhhh.... then please take care of me as our relationships." 

"Same Rei-kun! by the way... wanna go on a date now? I have tickets discount for the karaoke right now... it gonna expired today." She said.

"Uhh sure... Meet me there later."

"See you later, Rei-kun" She smiled and leave the school ground" 

Do I really deserve this? Do I....?

I'm waiting for Mina in front of the karaoke place for 10 minutes... 20 minutes... 

A bunch of boys from my school came towards to me

"No way he actually come here... Hilarious.... hey hey, are you really that desperate?" 

Everyone laughs at me... I saw Mina behind the boys... I want to talk to her but I can't... 

She look at me with sad expression... she left without saying anything. 

It's always like this... Whenever I trust people and become friends with them, something will happens and broke my trust.... I hated myself for trying to believe in people... Hatred starts to melt into me.

I'm weak from the inside and I'm also weak from the outside. I hated myself for pretending to be strong when I'm so god damn weak.

I don't want to remember anymore ──────────

I have nobody to trust now... Home was no longer a place where I felt at ease... If they don't believe me, don't act in a way that will be misunderstood. Just don't talk and keep quiet.

It's too late for them to realize it.
