Chapter 1 Breaking Free

Breaking Free

“Thanks for waiting.”

After saying goodbye to Akito, I went to the school gate.

A boy was waiting for me.

“I’m not waiting. So, how did it go?”

His soft voice caressed my ear.

He has black hair parted in the middle, a small face with all the right parts, and stands 180 cm tall. He is an ace soccer player and good at other sports.

He was called the most handsome guy in the school and I often saw many girls confessing their feelings for him.

He’s different from Akito.

He also holds my hands and hugs me, unlike Akito.

Akito didn’t even hold my hand after we were together for about three years.

Maybe Akito never liked me from the beginning.

With me, it was just for fun.

I was happy when he confessed to me.

I had liked him for a long time.

But now I don’t like him anymore.

Now I like him, Kaito.

We became friends this year when we were in the same class and started talking about Akito.

We liked to go out together as a distraction. Then I started to feel attracted to him.

I love you so much, I can’t help it.

“We really broke up.”

Report to Kaito.

Kaito’s face quickly changed into a smile.

“Now we can really be together, Mia.”

“Yeah!”

My cheeks melted when I saw Kaito’s smile.

Kaito and I then walked home holding hands.

“Thanks for bringing me home, Kaito.”

“Mia is my girlfriend, so it’s only natural, right?”

You say it like it’s trivial. How gentle.

You also talk to me properly.

Akito was always silent, even though we walked to and from school together. Even when I tried to talk to him, he was very cold.

I knew it was good that we broke up.

“Thank you. I love you!”

I hug Kaito before I enter the house.

“I love you too, Mia. See you later.”

Ah, just hearing Kaito say he loves me fills my heart.

“Yeah! See you later!”

Lately, it has become routine to call him at night.

I’m happy to hear Kaito’s sweet voice every day.

I saw Kaito’s smile and entered the house.

“Kuhahaha, I’m still a little timid.”

A man’s voice echoes down a deserted side street.

“She’s not really my type, but she’s got a good body. I’ll just go for it, and after I get two more, I’ll just throw her in my arms.”

His voice and the expression on his face was very ugly and disgusting.

“This world is a wonderful place.”
