—Sajo, are you listening to me?"
The teacher's voice seemed to come from under the water.
I was looking out the window. At the empty, cloudy sky.
— Sadze!
—WHAT?"
The whole class froze.
The teacher adjusted his glasses in confusion.
—Do you... have something to say?"
- no.
Nothing.
And don't touch me. Just leave it alone.
Silence.
Shock.
Even Sayo, who was sitting next to him, didn't know how to react.
—Kurume,— she whispered.…
—SHUT UP, SAYO.
I abruptly got up and left the classroom.
Without looking back.
On the roof
A cold wind.
An empty bench.
And a buzzing in my head.
"Why did everything go like this..."
I clenched my fists.
"Why don't you believe me, Miyako?.. Why are you silent?.."
I took out my phone.
She was online.
But she didn't answer.
Stupid, painful, humiliating.
I dropped the phone next to me and squeezed my eyes shut.
"I didn't think you could get angry," a voice said from behind him.
Sayo.
"Have you been following me?"
She sat down next to him, too close.
"I know it's hard for you. And maybe you don't have to carry it all alone?
I was silent.
She tried to take my hand.
But I pulled away.
"I don't want you around."
— But you yourself…
"No, Sayo. Enough.
You take advantage of the moment when I feel bad.
She turned pale.
But I continued:
"You know that I love Miyako.
You knew that from the beginning.
But still…
You made sure she saw that scene on purpose, didn't you?
She looked away.
And that was enough.
"Go away," I said softly.
"Just... please." Go away.
In the evening
On the screen:
"Message read".
But there was no response.
