Parallel / Cerise (11)

My lunch has grown cold
and has barely been
touched.

I sip my cup of
water,

ignoring the many
people in the
cafeteria as I
pack up and
leave.

Secretly, I can feel Ronin’s
intense stare as I walk
out.

I hope he comes to
follow me and explain
his actions with Nina.

Mindlessly, I head to
the third floor and then
take the stairs leading
up to the school’s
rooftop.

The air smells fresh
and the sky is a
blue firmament,

soon to be dyed in
red from this black
clown.

I sit down on the rooftop’s
ground and open a packet
of sweet bread before
eating.

It has a red bean
filling in the middle.

I miss Ronin.

I know he’s not
going to show up
here.

He’s taking care of
business as we
speak.

What kind of
business, you
ask?

I’m not supposed to
say, and I swore I
wouldn’t tell.

As I mentioned before,
he pretends so well that
I sometimes get caught
up in an emotional
frenzy.

Him and I are
both monsters.
