I was being bullied by a mixed group of delinquents from my class. Even someone like me had someone I liked—Hoshina, a girl with strong morals, respected by both the delinquent group and regular classmates. While no one else would talk to me, she was the only one who reached out. When I was getting bullied again one day, she stepped in, saying, "Ganging up on someone is so pathetic!" But her words only marked her as a new target for the delinquents.
