...the reason for her tears.Mary.We're just friends!Some heartless classmates of ours started spreading some baseless rumor that Mary and I were in a homosexual relationship with one another.I, in my anger at seeing my best friend insulted......got into years' worth of fights denying it.Mary and me?! You think that's the truth?!Shut up, lesbo.Don't insult my friend like that again!I was worried about the horribly shocked face I saw Mary make out of the corner of my eye, though.Mary, why are you crying?But it's okay now. The guys who were spreading the rumor promised not to do it anymore.I didn't understand......Thank you.It's a bit of an old story.Did I scare you? I'm sorry.Hey.C'mon, look at me?No... it's nothing.I'm sorry.
