“Wait! Where do you think you are going? Come back!

” May
shouted.

“No, May. I must help Sam by giving the upperclassmen some

lessons and tell them not to bully Sam again.”

“No way you can do that! You’re just going to be killed! You can’t
help Sam that way! Do you think Sam will be happy if he sees you get
revenge for him?” May asked.

“I do not know. But, I must do what I can to help him. I don’t have
special reason to help him, I just want to help him. ‘Eyes with Eyes,
Teeth with Teeth, Evil with Justice.”

“Justice? Do you think what you’re going to do now is justice?

Answer me Tulio! Do you think that’s justice? ” May asked.

I didn’t answer May’s question. I just went to

upperclassmen classroom. But, when I almost opened the door,
suddenly I felt afraid. My hands were shaking, my body was
sweating. But suddenly, May appeared.

“Don’t open the door Tulio! What do you think will happen if you
open the door and punch them? It won’t change anything! Now, you
only need to visit Sam and support him You mustn’t use your fist
recklessly,” said May.

“But May, my heart says...”

“Your heart? How could you say ‘heart’ lightly like that? Do you even
know where your heart is? Some people say about heart recklessly
like you just now.”

“Huh? What do you mean?” I asked.

“‘People live because they have heart. People eat because have
heart. People love because have heart. But people also die because
they have heart.’ That is why you must not do something recklessly
in the name of ‘heart,’ because you can die.” May warned me.

“But, I better die than lose my pride as a man,” I said.

“Jeez..What’s the important thing about pride? And you said you
prefer dying than losing your pride? So childish! If you die, you will
lose your pride too. If you live, then you will always have pride. But, I
will leave the decision to you.” May said.

After she said that, she left. I also left after heard her
words. Then, I visited Sam in the nurse room. Though we haven’t
known each other too long, I tried to cheer him. Then, we just talked
all day long. I forgot about the real problem. After we talked, we
finally became friends. And May became Sam’s friend too. 3 of us
used to hang out together after that.

And one day, when we hang out at an amusement park...

“Hey Tulio, I want to ask you something..,” said Sam.

“What?” asked me.

“Do you love May?” asked Sam.

“........Eh????? What are you talking about? Of course I....”

“’I’ what?” asked Sam.

“I do..,” I answered.

“Then, ask her to ride ‘Ferris Wheel’ together with you... and tell her
the truth about your feeling,” Sam gave me advice.
