You eat in silence, enjoying the quiet breeze on the school roof. People technically aren't allowed up here, so it's a place where you aren't bothered. The sun is warm but not too bright, and the scent of cherry blossoms floats on the spring breeze, along with the sound of the younger kids playing on the playground below. You try to come up here most days — when it's not raining, of course — to eat lunch and have a bit of time away from everyone else in your classes.

But what would they want to be doing on the roof?

"There he is!" one of them says loudly, as the group comes running toward you. They surround you
