I change the channel. Why does everything remind me of him? Now I know what Nao felt like back he was rejected for the first time. I shouldn’t have made fun of him, this feels terrible. 287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7SRep3M2R

I look at my phone and the desire to call him consumes me again. No, I’ve called enough. At this point, I’m probably coming off as a stalker. I lost my chance at a love life.

Look at me, I can’t even gather the strength to go to school early anymore. But I still have to go. I leave my room and go to the bathroom. At least, I try to but Nao is still inside taking a bath.

The air starts to freeze as Trevor’s eyes narrow and burn with searing intensity. I-I never saw him look at me like that before. I can feel my legs begin to liquefy and shake. Is this what Nao has to deal with it…what everyone else sees?
