Oliver ran in, rushed into his room, locked his door, and leapt on his bed.

Why was he being so nosy?

And why was he following me home!?

Oliver shuffled in his bed, thinking back to a few months ago, when he had just gotten here.

Right after, Len had told him they were friends, He had suddenly disappeared when he needed him the most.

***

"Go back to your home country," A red-haired boy spat, beating me with a metre rule he had gotten from the maths teacher. I cried silently. What had I done to deserve this?

"Get away from him!" A familiar voice shouted.

It wasn't Len. It was the girl I had met the day before, SeeU.

"C'mon Fukase," A white haired one spoke, "He's not worth our time."

"Tch."

"Are you okay? Did they hurt you? Do you want me to get you to Luka?" She started rambling in concern.

"No, I'm quite alright. Had it gone for longer, I was sure to have another permanent scar," I silently chuckled, "Thanks."

"Thank goodness."

"Where- Where's Len?" I asked her.

"Len? I think he's with Aria now."

I blinked twice, then once more. Aria? Who's that?

"They're going out together," She explained nonchalantly.

"Oh." I replied, frowning. Len... you said we would be friends? Then why'd you leave me? Leave me for a girl?

***

Oliver wiped his eyes, somehow, in that moment of thoughts, he had teared up. He doesn't care about me anymore.

Then why? Why'd you follow me?

Oliver rolled on his bed and lied there tiredly. It had been another day of running and hiding. He was —quite literally— tired of it. And where was Len when he was in trouble? Probably having fun with her new girlfriend.

Oliver peeked to his bedside table, where he saw a new notification come in.

SeeU?

Curious as they had rarely texted, Oliver opened his phone up and checked it.

SeeU: Hey Ollie!

Oliver: hmm?

SeeU: Wanna go out to the movies together?

Oliver paused and stared at the screen. Sure they had been 'going out' for the past month or so, but they had never really 'gone out' till then.

Oliver: yeah! just let me get ready k

SeeU: Kk

Oliver: SeeU there! lol

Oliver lightly chuckled at his own joke. 'Genius right?' He thought to himself. Okay brain, you can stop complimenting yourself now.

With a flutter of excitement, Oliver quickly changed to his pure white button-up shirt and navy blue coat. It had always been his favourite way to dress, it fit him nicely and as Yohio would have put it, it brings out his inner 'shota'... Whatever that meant.

Once he was ready, He took his phone and wallet with him and left for the local theatre.

Oliver looked into the crowd, trying to find SeeU within the sea of people. Red hair, Nope. Green hair, Nope. Yellow hair! No, that's a boy... There!

"SeeU!" Oliver called out in his cheery tone.

"Oliver!" She called back with her almost-signature smile.

"What movie do you want to watch?" I asked her.

"C'mon, I'll show you." She said in a cheerful tone. One that seemed to be laced with a hint of malice.

Had it just been my imagination? Probably.

Oliver took steps behind SeeU, following closely. A dark aura appeared around her, but it seemed that nobody else had noticed. Wha- What's going on?

Once they had reached screen 9, SeeU promptly stopped. Oliver felt nervous as he looked around to find that they were in solitude.

A short maniacal laughter came out of Oliver's companion. "Did you really think we were dating?" She sneered.

Oliver was taken aback. What's happening? Am I dreaming? Am I imagining things again? He didn't know what to answer, he didn't know how to answer.

With a fingersnap, a figure appeared from within the shadows of the dark entrance.

His clothes. His face. His appearance. Oliver's eyes widened in fear. Kaito! Why is he here?

"I suppose I could have done this earlier. But I really wanted to make sure you had feelings for me first." SeeU sneered, "How is it? Heartbreak hurts doesn't it?" She spoke in a tease-like manner, toying with her nails as if she were a royalty.

Oliver started to process everything: SeeU had led him to a trap, betrayed him. His heart felt like it had been trampled upon by a dozen elephants. The only person he figured he could trust, had planned to crush him all along.

Kaito grabbed Oliver's arm and dragged him into the dark room. "Let's have a bit of fun." He whispered past his shoulder.

"N-No!" Oliver muttered in a broken tone, he was drowned by his own fear.

"What should we start with?" Kaito spoke in a devilish voice, "How about with this?" He sneered, grabbing onto Oliver's private area, holding a knife to his throat with the other. "Now don't move, let me do the work for you." He snickered.

In a sudden wave of fear and bravery, Oliver performed a heading attack on Kaito, kicked his crotch, and once his grip had weakened, made a run.

"You're not getting anywhere!" SeeU growled, raising her hand to summon a horde of her and Kaito's supporters.

Adrenaline still flowing through his veins, Oliver dashed past them, shoving off anyone who had been in his way without problem, not caring who it was or what they wanted to do to him.

He felt his heart ache and tears started to flow. "Why can't anyone be nice to me?" Oliver mumbled, running back to his host-home.

Oliver ran in, rushed into his room, locked his door, and leapt on his bed.

He cried buckets upon buckets, the image of SeeU's evil grin burning in his mind, Why can't anyone be nice to me?

Oliver took a deep breath in, still crying, He gathered every bit of power He had left and shouted at the top of his lungs:

"I Can't Trust Anyone!"
