It Started with a Hello

vi

Hanamiya watched as a girl pushed [Last Name] to the ground. He took note of the tears that threaten to spill. He noticed how she bit her bottom lip.

"What's that bruise on your arm? Your boyfriend get mad when he saw you cheating, you whore."

"I-I don't have a boyfriend," [Last Name] stammered.

[Girl's Name] rolled her eyes with a cackle. "Sure, you don't."

"I really don't," you murmured, looking down.

[Girl's Name] laughed and kicked her leg. "Whatever you say, whore."

It was that moment that Hanamiya felt anger boil up in his veins. He wasn't sure if it was the insults she was spewing at the [Hair Color] haired girl, or the tears that finally fell onto her face.

Hanamiya pushed through the crowd, or rather they moved out the way once that realized who it was doing the pushing.

"Oi," he growled, glaring at [Girl's Name], "just how pathetic are you?"

Said girl glanced at him, and she froze upon seeing his face. "Hanamiya?"

He scoffed. "How low did you have to go to start bullying someone you have barely spoken to? Is it to make up for your insecurities? Or did you cheat, and now your taking your anger out at [Last Name]?"

She shook her head slowly. "N-no, it's not like that--"

Hanamiya's glare hardened. "If I ever see [Last Name] cry because of you, you'll regret choosing to come to this school."

[Girl's Name] blinked, registering his threat. She then left the scene, her friends going with her.

Slowly, the crowd dissolved, as well.

Hanamiya glanced at [Last Name]'s sniffling form. He cleared his throat to get her attention, and offered her his hand.

She stared at it before accepting. He stood her up.

[Last Name] wiped the tears off her face with the back of her hand, and she gave him a smile. "I didn't think the Hanamiya Makoto would defend me," she teased.

He scoffed, crossing his arms. "Shut the hell up."
