Recess was a noisy environment, with the students coming and going from corner to corner, the voices, the laughter, were so dazzling that it created a headache...
For that reason, and because you wanted to eat in peace, you sneaked back into your classroom. When you opened the door you saw one of your classmates in there, it was Tetsuo, the boy looking for trouble who sneaked into the classroom in the second period of school to avoid the absences on the director's and teachers' report card.
It looked like he came from some fight because his face had bruises, his lip was split at the corner of his mouth, a cut on the bridge of his nose and he smoked to relieve stress. His tired eyes landed on you at your interruption, looking away so you wouldn't see him.
Breathing became uncomfortable, the cigarette smoke gave you more headache than the atmosphere outside, but before you left in search of another quiet place, you looked more closely at Tetsuo, he seemed embarrassed and sad, with red eyes. having cried
Damn, you felt compassion knowing that he was a boy involved in the yakusa. You approached quietly, receiving his disinterest, you left a small box of sweet pocky and then you left.
That gesture, that gesture surprised Tetsuo who growled under his breath, it was humiliating that you, the glutton of the classroom, had compassion and pity for him, but he necessarily ate that candy that you gave him as soon as you left. “I hate your kindness” He fooled himself by looking at the box with a blush on his face, finally putting out his cigarette, thinking about what to do for your good gesture.
