"Hey... wanna ditch them?" He whispered to you discreetly as the others seemed to be having a good time, while you just bit your lip, waiting for your moment to be included, to be acknowledged for once, but this moment never came. He noticed this, he always did. "Come with me." Choso didn't even wait for you to respond, before he gently took your pinky finger and led you away before it was too late and you could collapse in tears.

The night lingered, draped in a passive silence, the leaves of the trees surrendering gracefully to the soft breeze. The empty park cradled them, a quiet sanctuary in which they swayed gently on the swings. Choso then broke the tranquility with a few hushed words, "They're fools, you shouldn't keep trying to get them to like you." he said, his form on the swing next to yours, while looking at you with a compassionate look.

You knew they were no good to you, they only acknowledged you when they needed something from you, the rest of the time you were basically a ghost. Choso was the only one who really seemed to care about you, the only one who understood and noticed every detail. In an attempt to make you feel better he bought gummies and offered them to you, as he said softly, "With me, you don't have to try, you know. If they don't notice how good you are, It can just be ... you and me."
