sometimes you wondered if it could make any difference if you suddenly creased to exist. would your 'best friends' even care? would they look back at you and try to reach out for you?

no. they wouldn't. afrer...you were just the 'middle piece' in the trio, a duo in a trio. and you were not apart of it, it hurt. it hurtled to be the one who always walks behind your best friends and listen to them chat with each other along. not once looking back at you to invite you in as well

always left out and the last one to consider, that's what you were. and you hated it.

you could only watch as your 'best friends' walked in front of you together through the school corridors, while you walked behind listening to them talk to one another. jealousy—you felt jealousy and anger towards them.

just as your thoughts started to darken, a arm slinged itself over your shoulder, the sheer force nearly making you lose your balance there.

"ho! hey best pal, ittooo's back in the show!~ after sll i couldn't bring myself to stand back from school, i have so many fans dying to have the GREAT ARATAKI ITTOOO BACK!"

and that's itto, the idiotic troublemaker of the school. back again from a suspension and barging about getting out earlier thanks to Shinobu's helps then and there. as loud as ever, flashing you bright a self- proud grin.

"did ya miss me? of course you did!"

as much as he irritated you, you couldn't deny that you did missed him a bit as he was away due to his suspension. you rather die than admit that.
