‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎Belvie doesn't notice a lot of things around her.
‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎she actually doesn't pay
attention to her surrounding
at all and tends to be in gaze
all the time ── well, not all
the time, but most times.

hearing squeaky shoes make
contact with the wooden floor,
"ms. joince?" her theater teacher
said as he walked up the stairs,
holding a scrip in his hands.
( not hers, it's at home )

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎he has never truly been able
to pronounce her last name right
and even after the many, many,
many times she corrected him,
he just ── couldn't get it.

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎"jones, not joince, but yes?"

"i see. anyways, please go to
the main office with this. tell
them that i'm not sure if this
should be emailed to him or
not."

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎he handed her a purple folder.
one filled of information that
belvie couldn't and didn't want
to think about too much, not
like it concerned her or anything.

she responded hesitantly, "sure?"
walked forward to the big doors
and before anything, she turned
around, forgetting where exactly
the office was.

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎"on the next floor, down the
right halfway and you'll see it.
it has a pretty noticeable sign, alright?"

"alright." with that, she left the
room, thankful to be out in the
empty halls.

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎belvie liked empty places,
they were quiet and lifeless.
"next floor, halfway, sign. uh."

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎she wasn't watching her steps
── well actually she was, but
she wasn't at the same time. it
was difficult to understand what
she was focusing on when her
mind wasn't even clear, not like
it has ever been. ‎

belvie doesn't know a lot of
things about herself and that
always seems to have her give
her parents a questionable
look when they say that they
know her more than anyone else.
‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎── how exactly can you know
someone who doesn't even know themselves?

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎Shinichiro is not one to misgender people.
‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎the girl's word running around
his mind like an annoying kid
that'd want you to buy some
candies for them at the fair.

"i'm a girl, not a boy. "

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎shinichiro isn't a liar ── most
of the time and he remembers
how goro made jokes about how
him calling the boy ( who was
now revealed to be the girl )
pretty was "gay."

he called his friend an idiot
for saying that while the two
were hanging out. at night,
however, was when he started
thinking about this deeper.

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎goro ended up messing his
mind with that joke of his, but
when he found that he stayed
awake until 2AM just thinking,
shinichiro forced himself to close
his eyes.

he has a lot of things to do, mostly
stuff about his gang, but his mind
seems to have decided to distract
him from time to time with the
girl from the other day.

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎surprisingly, shinichiro didn't
mind it at all.

a part of him hopes to get to
see the stranger again.
‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎── he should definitely also
ask for their name when he gets
the chance to.
