Chapter Text
I’ve never been able to express my emotions as greatly as everybody else. So when I met Kakeru in elementary, it was like seeing a whole different type of species. Every second he had a new facial expression. And every time you looked at him you could immediately tell what he was feeling in the moment. Maybe that’s why it was so easy for me to fall in love with him. I never had to guess what he was thinking. Which made it even more heartbreaking to know he doesn’t think about me the way I think about him.

Lately something weird has been happening. I randomly start coughing badly. My throat feels like it’s clogged and I can’t breathe normally. I thought it was just a cold or something, and that I would get over it quickly. But last week, the coughing became worse. So bad to the point where I had to go to the restroom since I was making too much noise in the classroom. On my way to the restroom, people walking past me stared at me. I’m used to all the stares and whispers. But it was different this time. The girls didn’t start whispering to their friends. And the guys didn’t scowl at me. They just looked at me with concerned faces and turned their head away from me. Once I reached the restroom I looked in the mirror and was met with a face I couldn’t even recognize. My lips were chapped and I looked so pale I wouldn’t be surprised if everyone in the hallway thought I was a ghost. The only color visible on my face was the dripping of the blood from my mouth.
