Heal (4)

It wasn't long until I started feeling uncomfortable everywhere I went.

And I wasn't even prepared to be hated by my own friend.

"That senior... You know that I was going out with him. So, why did you seduce him...!?"

One of my friends asked straight out, in the middle of lunchtime at the cafeteria. It was probably on purpose to ensure that her voice was audible enough for everyone to hear.

(.... You and that senior were going out? I've never heard of that!)

Sweat started to run down my forehead and my skin turned cold.

"I-I don't know that, you never told me-"

"What do you mean?! I already told you!"

She yelled in anger, tears dwelling in her eyes and my other three friends were standing by her side, leaving me to face everything alone.

The other students start to whisper amongst themselves, giving them a distant gaze, different from the friendly gazes that they used to show me.
