"I'm done with love, you know?"

One day after school.

I was sitting across from him at a single desk, filling out the class log together as the day's monitors. We've been in the same class all along, but I'd never really talked to him since he belongs to the popular group.

The only sound in the classroom was the scratching of pens. The silence was awkward, so I asked him on a whim.

"Do you have someone you like, or a girlfriend?"

Surrounded by so many people's smiles, he must be having a sparkling youth. That's all I thought when I asked.

"...I'm done with love, you know?"

As he muttered that, his eyes remained fixed on the log, and a shadow seemed to fall over his face.

_______This is a story about him, whose heart is closed to love because he was always just the sidekick.
