Our eyes met and it’s like an unspoken mutual understanding between us. I believed in him and he believed in me. He continued to play his guitar solo riff and the emotions just filled up the room! Even his schoolmates are all surprised and amazed!
“Is it possible that that someone else who’s lonely is… you?”
You did great, Ren. But this is just the beginning. Your path to success all begins here.
You’ve been in the dark for far too long. It’s time to step into the light and accept your fate. The future that is bright for you. You don’t need to be scared, I’ll be here to hold your hand.
Ren: “Of course. Of course Runa has a date. This isn’t OUR date! How stupid am I? I don’t deserve someone as special as Runa. She’s way out of my league. Wait, is that… RUBY??”
The performance was exceptional but it’s time to go home now. Ren must be waiting outside starting up his moped– Huh?
“I didn’t know you smoke.” I glared at him. “It was you, was it?” He asked. He didn’t even look at me. Is he mad? “You invited those people from school didn’t you? Why did you do that? And Ruby, are you two together?” What’s with the attitude, Ren?
“I only invited you.” he said, still avoiding eye contact. “I’m sorry. I’m sorry if I broke your trust or if you feel betrayed. I only did that because I care for you. I see the real you, Ren. I know you have greatness within you but you’re afraid to show it. I want you to see that people appreciate you–”
What… What is this…?
This isn’t my first kiss, but it felt different… I never considered we’ll be feeling more than just friendship. S***, UMCI drones at a time like this! I can’t leave Ren like this, but I have to for his own good. If Ren gets caught up in my battle with f****** UMCI that mega corporation will destroy his life and he’ll end up dead or worse!
