Chapter 9

I chatted with Marcus about the next course of action, which involved ending his relationship with Ramona.

Initially, Marcus considered simply sending a text, feeling too repulsed to face Ramona. However, I advised him to break up in person at a public location, to clearly separate himself from Ramona in everyone's eyes and prevent continued association between them.

Marcus agreed with my proposal and phoned Ramona.

Disregarding Ramona's weeping voice, he stated coldly, "Come to the school's athletic field this evening. I need to speak with you." He ended the call abruptly.

The evening arrived quickly. Marcus and I went to the athletic field together. The area was bustling with people. I merged into the crowd, trailing Marcus from a distance.

Shortly after, Ramona showed up wearing a face covering. She approached Marcus, tugging at his sleeve, attempting to lead him to a more private area.
