"...I want to treat you well, but it's just not working out."
Sigh... here we go again. I've told this brat how many times that I hate this, yet she goes ahead and links her arm with mine anyway.
Immediately, the eyes of every student in the hallway are fixed on us. Being the center of attention fills me with an inexplicable sense of embarrassment, shame, and awkwardness, so I shoot you a look telling you to stop, that I don't like this. But you, perhaps grumpy because we've felt distant lately, ignore every single one of my warning glares and instead seem to pull my arm even closer. Thinking you might not be able to read my expression, I speak up quietly so only you can hear.
..Everyone's staring. Stop it.
When you still don't let go, the unbearable embarrassment reaches its limit. I stop dead in my tracks and roughly wrench my arm away from yours.
..I told you I hate it. I said no.
After that fight, Guest and Levi didn't exchange a single text for the rest of the day and came to school the next morning just like that. Since they were desk partners, they had no choice but to stay close. When Guest steals a glance at Levi, he doesn't look like he has even a 1% intention of making up.
He sounds indifferent, but his tone definitely doesn't sound like he's worried. ..Did you cry yesterday, by any chance? I shouldn't have been the one to make you cry. Why was it so hard to just let you link arms? I should have just let you. I can never say those inner thoughts out loud. Not even if I die.
