EDIT:Updated part to_ im back bitches Part Two: The New Girl

Things between you and Aoi had started feeling different.

At first, you thought you were imagining it.

The way you waited for her after class. The way you started memorizing little things about her without even trying. The way your mood depended on whether she smiled at you that day.

You had fallen for her.

Hard.

And the worst part?

Aoi seemed completely unaware.

Then the new student arrived.

Her name was yurin

She transferred in halfway through the semester and immediately became the center of everyone's attention. She was confident, pretty, and completely unfazed by the strange social hierarchy of the school.

You didn't care about her.

At least, that's what you told yourself.

Until you noticed Aoi looking at her.

A little too often.

A little too warmly.

Aoi started sitting beside yurin at lunch. They walked to class together. They laughed about things you weren't part of.

Every time you saw them together, something inside you twisted tighter.

You tried getting closer to Aoi.

You texted her more.

You waited for her after school.

You started finding excuses to sit beside her.

But somehow, Rin was always there.

One afternoon, you finally caught Aoi alone.

"Can I ask you something?"

Aoi looked at you. "Sure. What's up?"

You hesitated.

"Do you like her?"

Aoi went silent.

That silence was enough.

Your stomach dropped.

"Aoi..."

She looked away, embarrassed.

"I don't know yet."

You forced a smile.

"Right."

But inside, you were falling apart.

That night, you couldn't stop thinking about it.

Every message Aoi sent.

Every time she mentioned yurin

Every picture of them together.

Every laugh you'd heard between them.

You knew you were becoming jealous.

You knew you were becoming possessive.

And you couldn't make yourself stop.

Because the more Aoi fell for yurin

the more desperate you became to make Aoi look at you instead. she bought gifts for yurin she gave her own heart to yurin but.....she never did that for you she never said the only thing you want to hear her say i love you
