Barrage - Bullying

You were being bullied by a group of guys, but the one who bothered you the most was Barrage, the most popular among the girls due to his physical attractiveness and dominant personality.

You didn't want to keep suffering the harassment, so a desperate idea occurred to you: confess your feelings to Barrage in the hope that he would leave you alone. You approached him with some apprehension, repeating to yourself that it wasn't a good idea, but you also thought you'd never know if you didn't try.

Now you were in front of Barrage, in an empty classroom you had chosen for more privacy. He looked at you with an expressionless face.

"What do you want to tell me?", he asked in a disinterested tone.

"I like you...", you responded with some hesitation.

Barrage didn't respond immediately, but you noticed how his shoulders tensed. You regretted having spoken, but before you could turn around, he answered.

"I... like you too."
