[School life + unrequited love + healing + everyday life at first, angst later]
A lonely girl with autism and a delinquent school bully
They met in winter and parted in autumn.
The snowflake drawn in her book was the only treasured memory she had of him.
She wasn't fond of reckless boys like him. In fact, he frightened her.
What was it like to sit next to a bad kid?
It meant feeling safe. It meant being warm.
But one day, she suddenly clutched the boy's hand, pleading again and again, “Where are you going? Please don't leave me behind.”
“Please don't hate me.”
“Please don't stop being my friend.”
“Because... I've realized this awful world isn't just an annoying shade of gray. There's white snow, pink candy, and you, like a colorful palette. At least, I found you.”
Everyone told her how awful that irreverent boy was.
But they didn't understand that through so many nights, his presence was the reason she kept living.
Youth is like a movie coming to an end. Back in reality, with tears in her eyes, she had already fallen for him completely.
