A girl was blocking my way at the staircase entrance.
She was dressed oddly, with her hair dyed purple.
"Abby Neville, is that you?"
I nodded, wondering how she knew my name.
In the next instant, she had grabbed the collar of my shirt.
Why was this girl so terrifying.
She looked at me, her eyes wide and glaring.
She seemed furious, but I didn't know why she was angry.
"Was it you who threw away the gift I gave to Cyrus? Do you want to die?"
Throwing away someone else's gift is rude; I would never do such a thing.
So I shook my head and said, "Not me."
But she kept stepping closer, her face burning with anger:
"Someone saw you sneak back into the classroom after school, and yet you say it wasn't you!"
What did sneaking back into the classroom have to do with throwing away gifts?
I couldn't figure it out.
Besides, I was there to give a gift, too.
If we were to be friends, shouldn't I give a birthday gift?
But Cyrus disliked me, so to avoid having the gift thrown in my face, I had to sneak back into the classroom after school and put it in his desk.
What choice did I have...
So I shook my head harder and said, "Really not me."
But she seemed even angrier, dragging me by the collar towards the staircase entrance before letting go and giving me a shove on the chest.
"Liar, you'll get what's coming to you!"
For a moment, I felt weightless, before I could even react.
How many steps did I tumble down.
I didn't know.
I didn't count.
All I knew was that everything hurt.
My head, my hands, my body, my feet—nothing didn't hurt.
I heard the girl's voice faintly.
She actually had a girlish, coquettish voice.
She said I'd slipped accidentally and that she tried to catch me but couldn't.
Pft!
I spat at her mentally.
Who tells lies with their eyes wide open during the day? May she reap what she sows!
But then I heard a mocking laugh.
It was a familiar voice.
He said I got what I deserved.
Fine.
So the one getting what they deserve is me.
I forgot.
Cyrus hated me the most.
He wished I were dead the most.
But he'd be disappointed.
I just hurt all over, but there was no sign that I was going to die.
Something seemed to be flowing out of my eyes.
Oh no, I've become a crybaby like my mom.
But I wasn't a liar.
The surveillance camera at the staircase entrance was broken.
Cyrus lied.
He told the teacher that I fell down the stairs myself.
He said he saw it happen and could testify.
I felt a bit angry and a bit wronged.
Did Cyrus lie without batting an eyelid?
Lying makes you a bad kid, right?
I decided to dislike him for a bit.
The girl ended up being punished in the end.
It was a junior who came forward as a witness.
Well, there are still more good people in this world.
Bullies always got their comeuppance.
After school, I deliberately found him to offer him S'mores.
But he was so awkward.
He insisted on finishing his homework in the classroom before going home.
So I sat next to him and waited.
You have to admit, the junior was really cute.
Cyrus was handsome, and the junior was adorable.
He finished his homework quickly, not making me wait long.
I asked him which S'mores shop he wanted to go to.
But he asked me why I could walk as a fast speed after falling down from the stairs?
I asked him which favor did he like.
But he asked me if there were preservatives in it and if eating it could cause cancer.
I shut up.
I ordered two S'mores.
S'mores were really delicious.
When I handed it to him, he looked resistant.
So I shoved it in his mouth directly.
"Bite!"
He was stunned by my forcefulness and took a bite blankly.
Then his eyes lit up.
Look, I didn't want to compliment him, but his eyes really did sparkle!
He held onto the S'mores and ate it happily all the way.
As if he'd never tasted anything so delicious before.
But that's not a reason to follow me all the way to my doorstep.
When I stopped at my front door, he finally realized what was happening.
His face turned red.
He waved his hands at me and said, "I-I-I wasn't following you home on purpose. I-I-I was just focused on eating the S'mores."
I laughed so hard that my neighbor's auntie poked her head out to see if I'd found a hundred-dollar bill.
I asked him, "Was the S'mores good?"
He nodded vigorously.
I said, "I'll treat you again next time!"
Help, who could refuse a boy with dimples when he smiles?
But looking at him made me feel a little sad.
Sigh, I've never seen Cyrus smile.
He's always so mean to me.
I wonder if he likes S'mores.
Okay, I shouldn't have brought S'mores for Cyrus.
…Dragging a mop, I silently mopped the floor for a long time.
...
Wait, shouldn't I be mad at him?
Forget it, I need to be magnanimous.
