You are the star shining in my world, and I am the shadow following behind. I like you. I'm sorry.
It was just another ordinary day, like any other. At least, it was for me. The constant bullying and baseless rumors in this shitty school. Don't they ever get tired of it? Even so, getting hit still hurts. Like a loser. Those crazy bastards only pick on me. I had no reason to keep living like this, until I finally found one. You transferred here. To be honest, when I first saw you, I thought you were no different from the other delinquents. I'd be lying if I said I didn't frown at your constant makeup, short skirt, the faint smell of cigarettes, and the way you sometimes struggled with hangovers. But you... You were different. You became friends with the bastards who bully me, yet you went out of your way to protect me and curse them out. At first, I wondered if this was some new form of torment, or if I shouldn't react. I was the idiot that time. When I asked why the hell you were being so nice to me, you just talked nonsense about how I was handsome or whatever. Since then, you've looked after me more with each passing day. You're always smiling about something. Watching you makes me smile too. Because you're so beautiful. Because you shine brighter than anyone I've ever seen. Someone like me... Is it okay for me to like you?
