Is it love or a lie?

I am haru, for now I am a middle school student who wants to know what this feeling that I have been looking for...

Here I am, at my precious place, this tree that I planted near my home.

When I am here I feel complete...I feel Alive.

Suddenly there was a girl right beside me, and asked me a weird question.

"Why do people tend to show their love and only to receive pain?"

I replied at her.

"What kind of question is that, and who the heck are you?"

*She giggled*

"I am just a random person who is looking for something that I myself cannot grasp"

"And what is it that you cannot grasp?"

"Hmm I wonder what?"

She then left with a bitter face.

...

Everyday she would come by to talk with me about wonderous things and bitter stories.

For months it continued and we became closer to each other, we share the same pain and share our laughs.

She then smiled beautifully like there was no tomorrow.

"I found what I want haru."

"w-well what is it?"

"someone who will be very far away from me."

She then said this in a sad tone.

"Well....I am moving out of the country, it's sudden isn't it?"

She held haru's hand and whispered softly unto his ears.

"Promise me, that _________________________.

"I-i.."

I wasn't able to talk, nor I can hear everything right.

The pain on my chest keeps on growing.

I want to keep talking with her, I want to laugh with her, I need her....

hanna smiled at me and slowly she let go of her hand. then She covered her eyes and ran.

"chill dude."sigh."well looks like we'll have a new classmate tomorrow and a foreigner to be exact.

"she's from the Philippines, haha you know the hot country hmm, I wonder what she'll look like? I mean other country women are beautiful"

"I don't know and I don't care, now leave me alone I'm finishing this part of this book."

"reading again and again and again, every single day of your highschool life and your attitude is like that, no wonder you can't any girls even though you can just pick up anyone in this school just because every fell for you, you lucky bastard."

"Are you done? okay, now I can finish this part."

"well try to be at least friendly, that attitude of yours is the problem, you are the perfect student in our school, except for your attitude."

"it's not my fault I'm like this, I was just a mistake after all."

"stop, it's getting darker and darker very time you talk, welp chitchat you later byeee."

I went home like any other day.
