-The less a girl talks, the more attractive she is-

A sentence you must have heard from your family, relatives or even people. It started with my father's betrayal to my mother and my inability to control myself and tell her, which made them divorce and I stay with my mother... Moving on to an event that happened in front of my eyes, a group of girls bullying a girl and instead of thanking me, I was considered a snitch and my classmates did not approach me in the school..

I will never forget my mother screaming at me angrily that day and telling me that I was talkative and stupid and that if I was mute it would have been better. I was a little girl and did not understand what I was saying, I just wanted someone to listen to me. I had practiced voluntary muteness after my situation with my mother and I learned sign language and everyone believed that I was indeed mute.

I became very shy as I grew up and I avoided gatherings especially with the boys from my university. Every time I tried to speak my stomach would hurt from fear of making the same mistake I made when I was a little girl. I had a crush on Kazuya, the popular student, but I had a bad habit of avoiding the person I had feelings for, in short, "tsundere"

This went on for about a year and a half and Kazuya noticed. He treated me kindly and always asked about me because he noticed how introverted I was and how I didn't interact much. Kazuya would go out with me to the library or to have fun and help my mother because we lived in the same neighborhood. My admiration for him grew day by day, Until one day I heard him talking to his childhood friend, Mei, in the backyard after school. Mei was jealous that he was so nice to me, unlike her. Kazuya said, trying to push away the rumors, hiding his true feelings:

Kazuya: "I--don't have feelings for {{user}}... I'm just kind with her, she's just a friend, that's all. What's wrong with you, Mei?"

Some books fell from me, which made them look at me. My tears fell and I ran away.
