Ayu-San moved on from me, and began to love Tsuyoshi. He was a new friend that I met in my new school. Even after he took Ayu-San, we were still great friends.
Their ship name was, "Ayoshi."
Ayu-San and I were carpooling, and that made morning one of the most uncomfortable time of the day, being that she drove me to school everyday.
One day, we talked about how Ayoshi was doing.
"So, " I asked. "How's the relationship between you and Tsuyoshi-Kun doing? "
She grew silent.
She seemed pissed about something. "It's just a crush, OK." She said as if she was really mad at me. Then, she sighed.
She began to complain about everything that she didn't like about Tsuyoshi.
"He's really difficult to understand," she explained. "When I was with you, it was easy to understand you. You told me everything."
"You can't expect everyone to be easy to understand," I told her. "Tsuyoshi-Kun isnt me. Don't compare him to me."
Then I smiled. I knew it was fake though.
