Hello everyone, my name is Yuuya. I have been reincarnated into this world a year ago. I really thankful to be given a second chance live a new life.
Afterall, my previous life was a terrible experience for me. It all started when I was on elementary school. I got some trouble with my classmates.
I start to recollect my memories.
"I told you to buy me some bread! Why did you come back empty-handed."
A bully and two of his lackeys stood in front of me. Cornered and unwilling to argue, I remain silent.
"Ignoring me huh?! You really pissing me off!"
The bully clenched his fist and swung it at me. I dodged instinctively, and his fist slammed into the wall behind me with a sickening crack. His arm broke. Then, it become a big problem. The bully report it to the teacher saying I'm the one who hurt him.
"Yuuya punches ma-kun and stepped on his hand."
"Yes he really did it."
The two lackeys eagerly supported the lie, while the bully sobbed dramatically in the background.
"They're lying! I never hurt him!" I protested.
"Stop lying! I saw it!"
"Yeah! Me too!"
The teacher sigh
"Yuuya-kun, the witness saying you the one caused the injury. We're going to have one of your family come to school."
Nobody believed me when I denied the accident that happened. And then, many bad rumours about me start to appear. All the rumours were believed to be real, and I become a bad guy.
Everyone start to avoid me and everyone keeps badmouthing about me behind my back. At least my family still believe me. But…
It became worst when my parent divorce, my father took me to live with him while my mother took my little sister and move away from the neighbourhood. But suddenly my father disappeared and left me to live alone, now there are no one to believe me.
At first I keep crying every night, try to endure the pain. I keep being bullied and everyone turn a blind eye to it.
As the time past, I don't care about it anymore because I realized that crying won't change anything. I start to ignore what people say about me and do to me. I also try to find a part time job to cover my expense.
Since I was a minor, most of the store refused me, but a restaurant owner who is my mother's friend offer me to work at his restaurant. It was my toughest moment in my life.
And somehow I manage to endure it until graduation.
But its not end there, when I enter middle school the bad rumours about me is still circulating. The rumours also become more worse than before. Of course, I end up being alone again… Or I should have.
"Ah… I 've liked you for a long time now. Plea… please go out with me."
A girl suddenly confess to me.
"Aren't there many bad rumours about me."
"I know you since elementary school and I believe in you. Please, at least, can we become a friend?"
"Being friend is fine I guess… Yeah, Let's start with being a friend."
For the first time in a long while, I feel a tiny glimpse of happiness in my heart.
"Then can you meet me over the weekend?"
Without thinking, I agreed.
"HAHA… she really got him."
"Nanase you really a genius."
"HAHAHA… he really think Nanase want to be her friend… Ew gross."
When I arrived at the destination, there are bunch of kids. When they notice me, they start badmouthing me. From distance I saw Nanase on the back.
"I'm sorry, Yuuya-kun."
I realized that I got tricked. She confessed to me… as a part of punishment game. I even don't go to work today just to come here and this is what I get huh. My heart that on a verge of breaking finally break. Then the bad things kept happening.
"Yuuya-kun want to go watch movie with us this weekend?"
"You should be glad we invite a guy like you."
"Yeah! Yeah!"
A group of girls invite me to join them.
"Why you want someone like me to join you guys." I ask curiously.
"Of course, we believe in you."
"Yeah, you also don't have work on that day right."
My eyes widen. I quite shocked when my classmate know about my personal life. Once more, a bit of hope start to light in my heart.
When arrive there no one to be seen, it was still morning so I decide to wait for them. But they never arrive, I just waiting there like an idiot until it was evening.
I see now. I've been betrayed more than once now. I shouldn't have eased myself. I hate myself for falling for the same trick over and over.
Since then, I ended my middle school years in complete isolation.
When I entered High school I plan to stay as loner. But it changes since I met Kurayami Ken, even though there is still bad rumours about me, he still insist to become my friend. He keep approach me and a bit by bit I open my heart toward him and we become friend.
Because of the rumours, I also got bully in the high school. Since I don't want to repeat my mistake, I just endure it like I always do. After all, even the teachers won't believe in me if I report it.
Soon, I realized that I should never open my heart. That is because my friend is the cause of my own death.
I sighed while watching the scenery through the windows.
"I wish that this life will be better than before."
