Chapter Seventy-One: Yuriko's Memories
Yuriko's first summer in junior high school, she felt terrible.
She still hasn't made any friends, and even though she's trying to become an ordinary middle school student, giving up talking about strange hobbies and hobbies, and no longer passively waiting for others to get closer.
Managing friendships is far more difficult than she thought.
Her first target is a top student sitting on the side, and if she is with good grades, her mother will be relieved, right? She wasn't sure, but she had to try.
But she and Xueba will never be able to talk together, although Xueba treats people very well and gently, but this accommodation makes her feel deeply guilty. She tried to talk to the other person about her hobbies, but the other person only smiled awkwardly back. Over time, she became unable to speak a complete sentence to Xueba.
She knew that it wasn't the other party's problem, and finally one day, she saw Xueba's face, and then turned around and vomited all the contents of her stomach.
Unable to continue, she began to look for a new purpose.
It was a small group of three girls who were very active in the class, and although the grades were all crane tails, they were very good at dressing up, and they were bold in dressing, and when it was time for the end of class, the classroom would always echo with their unbridled laughter.
It seems that there is a never-ending topic to talk about.
If you can't be friends with a top student, why don't you try the exact opposite type?
She cheekily approached them, treated them for a few snacks, and quickly broke into the group.
At that time, she was even a little fluttery, thinking that she might have a great talent for getting along with people, but she didn't realize it before. Although the topics they talked about were very unnutritious, such as the makeup that has been hot recently, the handsome guys in the old age, and "who has confessed to any of them to go fix that man together", etc., she can at least keep up with the topic.
It's not a common topic, but at least it doesn't make her feel too uncomfortable.
She learned to put on makeup and dress up, and she also learned how to tease the opposite sex, and maybe these things themselves are quick to learn, so her results are also remarkable.
The number of boys who confessed to her gradually increased, and the quality of her appearance also improved.
Only then did she realize that maybe she looked really good dressed up.
But after that, her relationship with the trio gradually drifted apart. They no longer take the initiative to ask her to participate in activities together, and they don't even greet each other when they meet.
She didn't know what the problem was, until one day, Ban Cao, who had heard them talk about it, confessed to her.
Her desk began to be scratched, her homework books in drawers were missing, and her shoes were missing for three days. At first, she thought it was someone's prank, but it turned out that there seemed to be no end to such pranks, and they intensified.
She tried to react to the teacher, but was criticized by the teacher for not being able to mess with the relationship between men and women.
She didn't mess around, she had a good refusal.
After that, bad rumors about her began to circulate in the class, and the trio completely treated her as air, and although she felt sorry, she didn't seem to be too sad. But when she changed seats that day, she and Xueba looked at each other when she moved the desk, only to see the other party's brows furrowed rarely, and quickly looked away.
Like a thunderbolt from the blue, my heart suddenly became empty.
The prank will be discovered one day, when a cute-looking girl rubs up to her and hands her a crumpled and wet homework book.
It was the homework book she had lost yesterday, but she didn't expect it to become like this, she looked at the other party, and the other party waved her hand nervously.
"No, I didn't do it! Yes, it's Kigami-san...... I saw them throw ...... in the pond next to the school."
Kigami...... She glanced in the direction of the three. They didn't notice her gaze, they were still talking and laughing loudly in the same voice as before, and the whole classroom could hear it.
It was the first time she realized how harsh such laughter could be.
The next day, she anonymously reported the trio smoking on the rooftop and going in and out of adult places outside the school, and also gave the truth to the victims who were murdered by them in the past.
She was strong because she didn't vomit this time.
The girl who returned her notebook was called Xiao Nan, and after that day, they became good friends.
Xiao Nan has no outstanding memory points other than cuteness, this is the first time she dominates a friendship, no matter what she says, Xiao Nan can always pick up her topic, and likes to buy the same pens, hair accessories and clothes with her, etc., it seems that she wants to be a trumpet with enough energy.
This gave her a sense of satisfaction that she had never felt before. It turns out that I don't have to care so much about the other party's eyes, and I don't have to live so tired to get the response of others.
She thought she had finally gained a precious friendship and that everything would slowly fall back into place.
The two of them are becoming more and more inseparable, and they are becoming more and more similar.
Finally one day, Xiao Nan stood next door to Ban Cao, who had confessed to her, and folded her hands to apologize to her: "I'm sorry Yuriko, I have to go out with my boyfriend this weekend, so I can't watch a movie with you." ”
Xiao Nan suddenly had a boyfriend, and she had never heard her mention it.
After that, the two of them gradually spent less time together, and eventually became ordinary classmates who only survived at school and in text messages.
She vaguely noticed the problem - Xiao Nan got what she wanted, and then left her without looking back.
In fact, she really wanted to say to Xiao Nan that it had only been long since school started, and the boy had just confessed to her a few days ago, and he became Xiao Nan's boyfriend in a blink of an eye, this kind of man is not reliable at all.
But she only mentioned it vaguely once, and it was that time that Xiao Nan got angry and spoke ill of her, never expecting that Xiao Nan, who is usually gentle and even cowardly, would spit out such unbearable words in her mouth.
She finally discovered that Xiao Nan was no longer the girl who was infinitely tolerant and worshiped of her before. And the root of it is simply because her use value is gone.
She had probably been robbed of it all by accident.
From the beginning, it was a lie.
The stomach began to churn, and now even just thinking of Xiao Nan makes me want to vomit reflexively.
Maybe it was a mental illness, but she had been to the hospital and had no physical problems, so it was probably a mental illness.
If it's a heart disease that causes her to be unable to make friends, then she admits it, but she knows very well that the reality is not like this.
Maybe it's just bad luck.
Until summer came, she ushered in the summer vacation of only one person.
She had a full schedule of things to do for herself, and one day, the calendar said - amusement park.
If you go to an amusement park alone, she may be the only one in the world.
The summer weather was unbearably hot, but she had to go out at noon, and when she arrived at the amusement park, her forehead was already covered with dense beads of sweat, but her brain was getting calmer and calmer.
Because of the hot and dry weather, there are not many tourists at this point in time, and the little yellow duck doll in front of the amusement park is so bored that it waves balloons and circles in circles.
It was an extremely hot and overly cold summer day.
