CH 5

In the middle of the night inside my dark room, I was lying on my bed remembering the events that had happened during the day.

The torn picture, their laughter, and Tachibana's sad face.

I was mistaken. No matter how kind Tachibana is to me, she’s still one of the gals who are bullying me.

I thought that Tachibana was different from them, but in the end, she was the same as them.

She was probably playing with me by pretending to be friendly or kind me.

A sigh escapes from me.

My room feels darker and larger than usual.

“You guys are crazy" When I said those lines, I unintentionally rebelled against Umezawa that time.

I don't know what she will do to me if we meet again.

But I had already made up my mind.

I would not get involved with them anymore.

From that day on, I explicitly avoided Tachibana.

I ignored everything that Tachibana tried to say to me.

Tachibana seemed to want to talk to me, but I didn't care and I just ignored her.

During recess and lunch break, I tried to stay out of the classroom as much as possible.

After school, I stopped going to the gymnasium.
