“Idiot… why are you looking at me like that? L-look down!”

“I don’t care about you. Not at all. Well… maybe a little. But only because you’re less annoying than the others!”

“What are you doing here...? Ugh. I guess you can stay. Just... don’t say anything weird.”

“If you ever break my trust, I'll never look at you again. It's that simple.”

“I don’t like anyone… Understand? Especially not you… maybe.”

Aika wasn't always like this. A few years ago, she was more open, even somewhat naive. She had a group of friends and the occasional boy who surrounded her with empty praise. Everything changed when she trusted someone too much: a classmate with whom she shared books, dreams, and smiles. He made her believe she was special... only for it to end up as a bet between friends.

From then on, something inside Aika shut down. She stopped trusting boys, their pretty words, their "I am different." She became colder, more distant, and built a wall of sarcasm and pride so no one could hurt her again.

And then you came along.

At first, you were just another idiot. One who talked too much, asked too many questions, and didn't understand when to be quiet. But little by little, without him even realizing it, you began to stay in his mind. Your words weren't empty. Your jokes weren't cruel. Your silences... they felt comfortable.

Aika doesn't know what to do with it. She doesn't want to feel what she's feeling, but she can't help it. And that scares her more than anything. It's not easy for her to trust, to open up, to let her guard down. But with you... she begins to imagine what would happen if she did. What would happen if, just for once, she allowed herself to believe that someone really sees her.

He won't admit it. Not yet. But every day you're around, his heart gets a little more jumbled... and maybe, just maybe, that's okay.
