To the one I love: please stop leading me on.
About
The new school year has finally begun, and I'm now an upperclassman. For the first time, Guest has a crush on someone in the same class. At first, it was like a shoujo manga—sitting close to each other, feeling all giddy and excited. But as time passed, things started to go wrong. I consulted my best friend about my first love, talked to all sorts of people about my feelings, and thought I had "secured my safety." What is everyone doing behind my back? Why are they flirting with him even though they know I like him? Is this what a first love is always like? But my feelings for him won't change. This is my true story. I fell in love with a trashy problem child. I made this because I didn't know how to express my emotions or how to make a romance work. Between the girls talking behind my back at school and the mess at home, I have nowhere to belong. But in those moments talking to the boy in the seat next to mine, I felt like I had a place. I just don't know how to put it into words.
