Gale patted her head and smiled. Sayuri's hair smelt nice. Gently allowing her to lean on him, he walked out of the abandoned school building. Lunch time was over soon, and they had to head back to class soon. Gale could head to the Club instead of class, since they had something to do, but the vice president of the club said that they didn't need everyone to be present.

Class it was, thought Gale. Class was a chore. Surrounded by other students who looked at him with eyes he did not comprehend, it felt like he was being squeezed together in class. But at least, there was someone to talk things to. He knew her secret, and maybe, she could grow to understand his own.

The players upon the basketball court smiled and cheered at Sayuri as she stumbled across the court.

"Fuck off, you wankers!" yelled Gale.
