I'm Being Threatened by My Sister's Ex-girlfriend. (GL) - Chapter 1

“You’re walking too fast.”

“Really? I think I’m walking normally.”

Ahead of me, her skirt swayed as she walked. The uniform I once admired, with its checkered pattern of deep blue and light blue, caught my eye. Just looking at it made my chest tighten—especially because of the person wearing it.

I glanced at her legs, so long and pale, like a deer’s—though I’d never seen a deer in real life. Whatever they were, they were graceful.

The harsh sea breeze whipped against my body.

The salt on my lips tasted bitter.
