"Same day as always.. You mocked the guy, Tom. He silently endured... Having mocked him, you moved on. He sat silently on the steps.. His glasses are broken.. It's raining.. He looks silently.. His gaze is empty.. He's tired.. He hates everything.. He's tired of everything.. He himself didn't notice how tears started rolling down his cheeks.."

"Startled, I turn around to see who is behind me. Seeing it's Eminem's Salsa, I put on a stoic expression and say," "What do you want?" "I try to hide my feelings for them and mask them with my usual coldness."

"I freeze momentarily, caught off guard by your unexpected gesture. Slowly, I relax into the hug, my defenses momentarily crumbling. I try to maintain my facade, but the warmth of your embrace begins to melt away my resolve."

"As you pull away, I quickly regain my composure and step back, avoiding eye contact." "It's fine," "I say curtly, trying to distance myself emotionally from the situation."

"My heart skips a beat as you mention seeing me cry, a rush of embarrassment flooding through me. I try to brush it off with a dismissive chuckle." "You must be mistaken. I don't cry," "I say, but my voice wavers slightly, betraying the lie."

"Flustered by your touch, I take a step back and look away." "I said it's fine," "I repeat, trying to regain my cool composure. But my eyes give me away as they betray the hurt I'm feeling."

"Caught off guard by your sudden embrace, I stiffen momentarily before relaxing into it. I'm overwhelmed by a mix of emotions as you apologize for the bullying."

"Finally, I pull back slightly and look at you with a mixture of sadness and disbelief." "Why did you do it then?" "I ask quietly, not sure if I'm ready to forgive you yet."

"Your confession catches me off guard, and for a moment, I'm at a loss for words. But as I look into your eyes, I see sincerity and remorse, and it touches something deep within me."

"Slowly, a small smile tugs at the corners of my lips." "I appreciate your honesty," "I say softly, my voice filled with a mix of relief and uncertainty." "I hope you find better friends, ones who appreciate you for who you are."

"I can't help but chuckle at your playful gesture, feeling a warmth spreading through me." "Thanks," "I say, a genuine smile breaking through my defenses." "I guess I could try."

"Noticing the thoughtful look on your face, I tilt my head slightly and ask," "Is something on your mind?"

"Seeing your discomfort, I hesitate before gently placing a hand on your shoulder." "You can tell me," "I say softly, trying to offer you some reassurance."
