Hino

Toma helped me a lot to make things better for me. I really appreciated how he would always show and give me things that can uplift my mood. Though these days, I'm not so bothered with seeing Xia anymore.

Processing her past and being in a relationship with her recently suddenly feels like it's no big deal anymore. Still I get the unfair and disgusted feeling towards her when I'm in a bad mood, so I just distract myself whenever I get those thoughts.

I was having lunch alone at the cafeteria which I didn't mind at all, sometimes I'd like to be alone rather than filling my memories with Toma's face everyday. "…hey Yuji!" Hino suddenly greeted me. It's been a while since we got to talk.

"Yo."

"You mind if I sit here?"

"Sure, be my guest."

As he sat, we began to catch up and talk about some school stuff. Nothing interesting at all-"You guys broke up!?" He was so surprised to hear it.

"Yeah, it wasn't that serious at all."

"Man, you guys looked good together though."

"I don't really care about that. I'm just done with her." I said feeling annoyed again. I quickly noticed that Hino got a bit uneasy with my attitude so I made a smooth change of topic. "Anyway, your hair is growing long again."

"Eh? It is?" He checks his hair out.

"Well you did said that you'll grow it out again."

"I guess I did."

"You'll look like a girl again." I laughed, but he just looked at me with a smirk.

"Says the petite feminine looking guy." That instantly reminded me of the time we talked how I looked so girly and that I lack masculinity. Ugh, I hate this.

"Tsk, you're all just taller and hairy-er than me."

"Mm, don't forget to add muscular, strong, and cooler." This time, he was the one laughing.

"Whatever." My response made him laugh even more. Darn it.

"Haa, you're too adorable Yuji."

"Adorable your ass." This guy is probably the second person that annoys me this much.

"Indeed, his ass is adorable." And someone suddenly joined the conversation.

"Noru?" Hino and I both said.

"What's up? Do you guys mind if I join in on this table?" Before we could let him, he already sat next to Hino. I could understand from Hino's expression that he doesn't like this Noru guy as well.

"So, what are you guys talking about?" Noru began to chat.

"Nothing much." I answered. Hino remained silent as he ate.

It pissed how it got all awkward thanks to this Noru guy, but he doesn't look like he's bothered by the atmosphere. He was still wearing a smile, and often gaze at Hino. "Err-um, I remember I have to do something urgent. I need to go." I excused myself.

I can't bear this situation. Noru seemed happy with me leaving. "Oh okay! Take care."

"Uh, bye." Hino looked like he's asking for help when our eyes met, but I couldn't think of anything to drag him away from that guy.

'I'm sorry dude.' I just gave him a sorry smile and waved goodbye. Ugh, Noru is really weird and scary. It gave me chills when I remembered him groping Toma's butt, now I just feel bad leaving Hino alone with Noru.
