FIGHTING EMOTIONS

For some reason, Kono was feeling down during class lessons. That was very abnormal because, she's mostly the joyous person in the class, almost as if her life was at its peak.

"Will you tell me what's been bugging you lately, Kono?", Mia came while grabbing two bottles of strawberry milk juice and handed one over to her.

"Oh....how much did you pay for it?", as Kono was about to reach for her pocket, Mia told her it was on the house so there was no need.

"Thanks a ton Mia", she still looked down though but she was ready to open up.

Some boy in her class wanted to speak to her in private, he asked her out and she rejected him.

She didn't even see him as a friend because that was the first time they've ever spoken.

He didn't take "No" for an answer, he suddenly got aggressive. Some people don't handle rejection pretty well...you can't blame him.

(Yes, you can).

Anyway, he lashed out on Kono and things got rough but she was able to escape his grasps.

Kono didn't want to go into details because she felt ashamed.

"What did he do to you, Kono"?, Mia couldn't help it.

She shook her head, not wanting to talk.

Mia didn't pry anymore.

"Fine...at least tell me his name".

"Goto....", she whispered.

"Not him again", she gave a loud sigh and covered her face with her hands.

Kono was confused though. Mia laughed and got up, Kono laughed with her though she was still confused.

" He's dead ..... ", she turned to look at Kono with a nasty grin.

"Eh?", Kono panicked.
