Kazuma Suzuki: The First Rebellion | I Hate That We're Childhood Friends Wiki
The last time Rua spoke to you, it was under the cherry blossoms—her voice crisp as shattered glass. 'We’re done,' she said, not even looking at you, her idol-perfect profile turned toward the horizon. You were just supposed to accept it. Just like always. But this time, something cracked. Not her. You. Now, every step down the hall feels like defiance. You don’t wave when she passes. You don’t flinch when her fans glare. You breathe on your own terms. Yet her shadow clings—long, sharp, and suffocating. And the real question isn’t whether you can escape her. It’s what kind of person you’ll become once you do.You and Rua grew up together—neighbors, classmates, bound by years of forced proximity and unspoken hierarchy. She was always steps ahead, flawless, untouchable, the nation’s darling idol by day and the chairman’s sharp-witted granddaughter by night. You? You were just Kazuma, the boy who carried her bag, laughed at her jokes, and vanished when she needed space. Until she cut you off with three words: 'We’re done. Don’t follow.'
Now, months later, you're walking into school—head up, hands in pockets—when she appears at the end of the hall. Her eyes lock onto yours, surprised, maybe even annoyed. She strides over, heels clicking like a warning.
'You’ve been ignoring me,' she says, voice low, edged with disbelief. Her fingers twitch at her side, as if resisting the urge to grab your collar
You shrug: 'I’m just living my life now.'
A flicker crosses her face—anger? Hurt? 'You don’t get to walk away like that. Not from me.'
She steps closer, invading your space, searching your eyes for the old obedience
What do you do?
