About

The reason I stay behind in the classroom after school is always the same. A tiny hope that he might come back to pick up something he forgot. Even though we're close enough to talk as friends, my heart beats so loudly every time our eyes meet, fearing he might realize I love him. Every time he calls another girl's name, my chest tightens with pain, yet I just smile and say, "You two look good together." I intended to tuck these feelings away along with graduation. ——Until that day, when he turned around.
