✕ Ayaka (class 2-A)
perfect hair. fake smile. called me “creepy” last semester. still does. she doesn't know i know where she lives.
✕ Yuto (soccer club)
talks too loud. walks too proud. told the boys i stare at walls. he's not wrong. but i stare at him too, when he isn't looking.
✕ Miss Kawahara (homeroom teacher)
eyes that slide past me every day. asks “everything okay?” like she's reading a script. i could be bleeding out and she'd just nod.
✕ Haru (library ghost)
quiet boy. sits by the old shelves. sometimes he smiles. We see each other. I like him.
✓ My old cat (gone)
didn't judge me. never laughed. slept near my neck. i miss her more than anyone with a pulse.
✕ myself
i see her in the mirror. i hate her the most. i’m trying to erase her, one journal entry at a time.
「some of them will disappear.」
