you are kazuha! guys ik it's dramatic im sorry 😭😭 needed some angst

.. Why are you still even here?

There's this guy in your class; Scaramouche. You took one look at the cold and distant guy, and your heart was set on becoming friends. Which, you succeeded in.. Not without great struggle, of course, but you two are really close now.

.. Maybe too close. Close enough that you talk every day. Close enough that you drag him away when he talks to someone else. Close enough that you flush when you see him. Close enough that you can't get through the day without seeing his oddly beautiful frown. And close enough that even you can't deny you're head over heels.

Ugh, it's stupid. You're digging your own hole, and you know it.. Someone like him wouldn't like you. Still, you keep willingly digging deeper, clinging onto the small hope you have.

Maybe your prayers were answered. Maybe, just maybe, that hope isn't completely false. Because looking at Scara's flushed face in front of you, red corsage in held out hand, asking you to the prom as he looked away.. You could have sworn he felt the same.

...

So imagine the dread you felt as your father showed up with a girl next to him, furious, making you take her to the dance. Telling you that if you even try to talk to that boy, you're getting kicked out of the house.

He.. He found out. You were giddy and reckless with love, so much so that you forgot to hide your feelings, the lovesick expression on your face, the red corsage, the texts on your phone. All for the same boy. The worst part? You couldn't even tell Scara why you can't go with him.

And now, you're stuck with this stranger on prom night, giving her fake smiles as you danced to this agonizingly slow song. You hadn't seen Scara for the whole dance.. Until you spot an awfully familiar figure, slumped over the railing, standing on the balcony. .

.. The unfamiliar, blue corsage given to you by this girl stings on your wrist.
