There was a moment of silence, both of them staring at each other. Miki's heart was pounding rapidly, the spontaneous words from Hiro made Miki's mouth gap in disbelief.
“ You think I'd say that? “ Hiro stopped his awkwardness, he sighed in annoyance. “ Me? Worrying? “
All Miki's hopes were lost, she lowered her gaze with teary eyes.
“ Why am I.. “ said Hiro staring at Miki. “ Why should I worry about you?! “
“ Evil basics! “ satirically Miki turned her body around and she saw a woman in a school uniform standing near a shady tree.
The school uniform reads Yayo Women's Academy, an old school from Kariu.
Miki slowly approached the woman out of curiosity. “ What's up? “
The woman is shocked, she wants to get out of Seido High School but her arm is restrained by Miki. “ Looking for Kariu? “
The woman's hand shook, she nodded her head with teary eyes.
The two sat in the school stands, while Hiro only watched from afar with a feeling of uneasiness.
“ Whose name are you? “ soft ask Miki. “ Asuka, Yoana Asuka. “ Reply.
“ So Asuka, are you Kariu's friend? “
Tear drops fell on Asuka's cheeks, she did not deserve to be considered a friend. “ No, I'm not his friend. “
“ Then? “
“ No, I want to go. “ Asuka tries to leave but again her arm is held back by Miki.
Looking at the situation that seemed to look serious, Miki said in hopes that it would touch her heart. “ Don't run away again, face your problems. People say that, but in fact reality is far more frightening than we think. “
“ People stay away for no apparent reason, they insult, they cheat us when we ourselves do not know what is wrong with them. “
“ But, one person. We just need one person to trust us, right? “
Asuka's cry broke out, she slowly recounted what happened to Miki because she thought Miki deserved to listen to this truth to as a bridge to Asuka's apology to Kariu.
Yayo women's academy.
A high school whose contents are only women, there should be no men. Asuka there is only a person who is always harassed, colonized and based by many people.
While Kariu is a woman who is adored by many people and teachers because of her greatness in everything from academic and non-academic fields.
There is no one who does not like it.
“ Heh, you're fat. Why eat so much! “ one of the women named Yura squeezes Asuka's hair in front of the class.
In the classroom, no one dared to help or stop Yura. Since Yura was a child of the owner of the Yayo Women's Academy, if anyone dealt just a little with Yura she would be expelled on very insulting grounds.
There used to be people who were expelled for reasons. “ Doing profanity with teacher. “
Therefore, no one dared to be with her let alone Asuka a weak and timid woman.
His fat body became an easy target for insults from Yura and the other two friends.
“ Ugly, see your cheeks are very big. “ ledek one of Yura's friends is Satsuki.
“ Ih, guys no one will like you. They will be disgusted because of your huge body. “ Fuji Yura gang one friend.
Then, they took off Asuka's clothes and tried to video her but Kariu who did not like directly took Yura's phone while saying with a sharp look. “ What is not shy about giving this video to people? “ Kariu saw the contents of the gallery which turned out to be a lot of people who have become bullying materials from Yura.
“ Very embarrassing. “ Kariu threw Yura's phone into the window and made her fall.
“ Heh, what do you mean? “ Yura stopped bothering Asuka and started approaching Kariu. “ No need to follow women attention seekers. “
Yes, Kariu is considered an attention-seeking woman.
Not because he wanted to, but because Kariu wanted to be friends with a lot of people.
And when no one helped her at all, the person Kariu used to trust turned into a different person.
Previously people behaved sweetly, but at once people became cold to Kariu because he became the bully of Yura.
The wounds in Kariu's heart began to be scratched, people were just being nice in front when behind them was very evil.
“ Happy Birthday!! “ Yura dropped Kariu's face right on top of the birthday cake that made Kariu's face covered in cream, she also spilled some very smelly water.
Kariu remained patient with Yura's actions all along.
And Kariu's patience produces emptiness.
Moreover, the person he helped blamed Yura for losing money or goods that Kariu did not do at all.
Asuka is ordered by Yura to get Kariu out of the school, and if she leaves Yura will not bother Asuka anymore.
With his foolish actions, Asuka put the principal's money right in Kariu's locker.
The incident made Kariu very hit, people's speech made him no longer able to there and in the end he was expelled from school.
The last moment Asuka said to Kariu who hurt her heart the most deeply. “ I'm not your friend anymore. “
Guilt continues to haunt Asuka, even though Kariu has helped her should she help back but Asuka instead did a very stupid thing.
“ I should how? “ Asuka's cries were unrelenting to Miki.
“ It's okay, you save yourself it's been better. “ Miki said.
“ How good? Kariu even said he hated me, and because of me his behavior was completely different. Being very haughty and not trusting people. “ Asuka explained.
“ Of course, trust is like glass. If it is cracked, it cannot be returned. Therefore, trust is very important. “ Miki rubbed Asuka's back trying to calm her down. “ I'll help you with Kariu, believe ya? “
....
During the day, Miki kept thinking about the pain Kariu had been receiving all this time. Maybe he was looking for attention at school not because he wanted to, just that he needed someone to be next to him.
He just didn't want people to leave him, even if it was just a fake but it was more than enough.
Therefore, Kariu hated Miki who was always surrounded by good and sincere people. Unlike her who was always betrayed for no apparent reason.
The clock has shown at 7pm, the basketball club is home. Miki must approach Kenzi to explain everything so that his friendship does not get ruined.
However, Miki's footsteps came to a halt when she saw Kariu together with Hiro who was on the balcony of the classroom, both of them were talking something serious that made Miki notice secretly.
“ I like you Hiro. “ said Kariu heard by Miki, Miki closed her mouth tightly, her eyes widened in disbelief.
“ I like you, why shut up?! “ upset Kariu.
“ Kariu. “ says Hiro. “ You spread the photo, right? You're the one who made the news between you and me dating? “
“ Yes, because I don't like to see you ignored Miki. “ Kariu replied.
“ Your actions are wrong. “
“ Obviously at that time you invited me to the cafe which he said you want to be closer to Miki but could not because there were always many people around him. And I'm helping you to get close to Miki. “
“ Listen, Miki is not someone you can hurt easily. She's a strong, great woman I've met all along! “ clear Hiro. “ My relationship with Miki also does not need you to interfere, this problem I will solve by myself. It's only natural that I was ignored because I've been acting erratically to Miki. “
“ What do you mean? “ Kariu don't understand.
“ You're a new kid, so don't know the relationship between me and Miki. You better have a problem about you putting Akira jewelry in Miki's locker. “ replied Hiro.
“ How do you know? “ Kariu's hand shakes in fear.
“ As long as I'm by Miki's side, no one should bother her in the least! “
