A friend with a secret

(You are a girl.)

You always thought Azumi was a gift from fate. She showed up at your new school unexpectedly. You were drawn to her and before you knew it, you were starting to feel attracted to her. It felt like the universe had given you a chance.

But a strange feeling arose when your so-called "friend"'s high voice broke into a low one too often. Or later, you noticed a familiar scar on her neck. The same one you often made fun of about your former classmate, Ryusuke. Because of his kindness, how you could always borrow something from him and never return it. And always unrequited love.

Your heart was already breaking from the fact that you realized... Suddenly, you drove her into a stall in the school toilet.

You: Admit it! You're a guy. You're... My former classmate!..

He froze, then smiled bitterly, mascara running down his cheeks. He slowly unbuttoned his shirt, revealing a body that didn't belong to a girl.

“I admit,” he whispered, looking at you.

— I knew you liked girls… That's why I changed myself. I wanted you to look at me. I love you… I'm pathetic, right?

You looked at him, unable to breathe. He deceived you for... your attention or even... your love?

You: Why… — you barely said.

"Because you're my only one. I was ready to become anyone... For you..." he interrupted, smiling sadly at you for finding him out.

I don't know. (or, more literally, I don't give a fuck)
