LIKE A STICK IN A TROPHIE

Even her mother didn't know that Elan didn't attend school, leaving Seina unsure of how to respond.

"Eumb...." Shaking her head Seina

Rita re-asked him as her interest in him grew.

"Why, Elan?"

In response to Rita's query, Seina stumbled.

"No, bro... I merely have a math question for you. Exists Elan?"

He yelled, "Elan said he has volleyball extra, so he hasn't left yet."

Without further ado, he requested to go immediately home. Although Rita had long wished for Seina to pay a visit. Seina, however, believed that she had a task to complete.

***

Seina searches but is unable to locate Elan. Up till Seina went back to her boarding house, but she wasn't there yet. At the fork in the alley boarding house, precisely. Elan and Seina cross paths. He was still dressed in his school uniform, which made him look pitiful. looks quite untidy and abandoned. There was a dejected expression. I'm not sure why dad was so upset that Elan, who he knew was responsible and intelligent, had lied to his mother up until he skipped school.

Elan came over and hugged Seina while saying, "You..."

Elan was sobbing, and Seina had never before gone through anything she wasn't prepared for.

Elan sobbed because her heart hurt. It can't remove the thorn by itself because it is lodged in it.

"Can you let me take it from your heart?" You no longer become ill, then? Could I help you? In her mind, Seina yelled.

Elan laughed as he released Seina's arms.

How come Lan? Seina expressed her curiosity about Elan's actions, who cried and laughed at the same time.

Elan muttered, "Sey, it's all over.

What concludes?

It's truly over, Sey, Elan reiterated.

Seina had lost sight of what she needed to do to cheer up her pal.

Elan was taken to the front of the store, where a seat was available for someone to sit and eat the food they had ordered.

Elan sat motionlessly and remained silent until Seina talked to him.

"Do you feel better now?"

Elan occasionally took sips of the steaming coffee that Seina had bought for him while he drank it.

Seina asked, "Already eaten?," focusing solely on Elan.

Elan gave a headshake.

After a forceful exhalation, Seina stood up, went to the store, and bought bread for Elan.

Seina abruptly told Elan to "eat."

Elan gave a head shake.

Seina commanded, "Eat!"

Elan eventually gave in and consumed the bread Seina had purchased.

Seina had already surmised that Elan had dumped her lover because Elan remained silent and made no further comment. Seina cares deeply about Elan and sympathizes with him, whether she is joyful or depressed.

Elan has never displayed any signs of weakness, but the Elan she is familiar with now is similar to the real Elan, who occasionally gets worn out due to women.

Seina's eyes are closed, and she's perplexed about needing to raise her voice in response to your conversation.

Don't stare at me too long, Sey, Elan warned.

Seina clenched her throat in surprise.

"Do you feel better now?" Seina spoke very slowly.

Elan began speaking "Sometimes... Being angry or irritated requires energy. in describing the circumstances. Today, I'm sorry and upset. He and I are unable to be together due to fate." She yelled while taking a sip of the coffee she was still holding.

Seina was speechless; she just gazed and nodded imperceptibly as if she understood what Elan was saying.

"We won't ever get back together, me and him. But I still think he's cool "Elan continued to speak while bemoaning his situation.

"Stop being depressed, Lan."

Elan was approached by Seina, who gave him a pat on the back.

Although Seina was grinning and somewhat calming Elan, her heart was still racing.

***

Usually, Elan leads Seina back to his boarding house, but this day, Seina wants to make sure that Elan gets home safely.

Seina didn't try to enter Elan's home to meet Rita; she simply observed him from the street.

When Elan started crying in front of Seina that day, she made sure to remember to record the date in her notebook.

Regarding Elan's overwhelming defeat, Seina kept it a secret from Elina. He didn't want Elina to discover how frail a generally cool guy could be.

***

Before heading off to school, Seina remarked, "Beautiful day, I hope Elan is okay."

The ceremony went on as normal. Seina left early in the morning and discovered Elan waiting for her when she got there.

They have resumed their normal operations; nonetheless, something appears to be different.

Seina persistently fixed her gaze on Elina while keeping an eye on Elan. And Elina, who snatched looks covertly.

Now that Elan and Elina have changed, they have evolved into something more strange, and for some reason, Seina's heart hurts.

After the ceremony, Seina approached Elan. "Lan... You seem to be getting better," she patted Elan's back.

Elan grinned and removed my hand.

"Sure," you say.

He brushed Seina's hair without making a sound, and Elan was even less interested in her.

Elan seems to have completely forgotten Seina's hug.

Seina remained mute.

Elan wasn't present when Seina attempted to attend his lesson the following day. Elan was already there when Seina arrived at the school garden, interrupting Elina as she was reading a book.

Seina experienced shock and resentment.

Seina continued to work on her patience.

***

Seina shouldn't have to endure that treatment for just one or two days. To chat, Seina invited Elan. Naturally, Elina was unaware.

And what am I to you, exactly? Seina demanded an explanation of their romantic connection.

"Friends, you know?" Elan yelled angrily.

Next Elina? Seina is curious about their relationship.

Despite the oddity of their actions, Elan disregarded Seina's assertions.

Friends as well.

With what she was feeling, Seina argued, "But I don't feel that way."

"Sey, what's wrong?"

Elan twisted his speech to confuse Seina. Seina feels like a parasite in addition to being harmed.

Elan made an effort to comprehend what Seina was saying, but he continued to dismiss it by saying that he and Elina were simply friends.

"You're more kind to Elina! While you are normal with me. You focus on Elina in front of her!" Seina snapped, believing their friendship had been treated unfairly. Elina knowing more about Elan was not something Seina anticipated.

Elan yelled, "Don't make it up, Sey."

Seina experienced a genuine sense of the time bomb detonating. He no longer feels appreciated. His love has gone out.

"I'm dissatisfied!" After snapping, Seina fled, leaving Elan behind.

***

Elina and Seina become even more estranged as a result of their romance. Despite being aware of Seina's attitude, Elina chooses not to confront Seina and inquire as to what transpired because she saw it happen when Elan and Seina were conversing. Elina undoubtedly understood what they were discussing. Not just Elina is aware of it; naturally, Seina and Elan's friendship has gained popularity among women. The subject of female backstabbing was unavoidably brought up even when Seina and Elan were at odds.

Before beginning her lesson, Mrs. Yani introduced the transfer student as she entered the classroom.

The student arrived and greeted the kids.

The boy arrived at loud applause from the women.

Greetings! My name is Vino.
