Kizhashi's POV
I was waiting for the last period to get over, but it felt like an eternity. It just wouldn't get over. My anxiety was increasing with each passing second. I was getting more and more restless. Reina noticed this and asked , "Koi-san, are you feeling sick? Are you okay?"
I could tell by the genuine concern in her voice, but this was sothing that I just couldn't afford to share with her. This is the only thing which I've kept lying about tis and tis again. I felt bad for lying to her, but that was sothing I had to do to survive.
"I'm okay, don't worry." I chuckled and shook my left hand as a gesture that it wasn't anything serious. She kept staring at for a few seconds and then returned her gaze towards the whiteboard with a slight nod.
I looked at the clock, and unfortunately there were still ten minutes left for the period to end. I slightly turned around to look over my shoulder towards Sakamaki and was staring at the board with a blank expression on his face. I an, his face was always like that.
Running different scenarios in mind, from the best to worst, I was deep in my thoughts. Before I could know, the bell rang indicating the end of the period. We all stood up to bow to our teacher, and they left the classroom.
I sat down, but my heart started beating faster. I was nervous. I still wasn't ready to face what was there for . My hands were chilly from sweating. I started putting the notebook and other stuff inside my bag.
The sound of Reina zipping her bag turned my attention towards her. I looked at her as she stood up with a confused look on her face while staring at .
"What?" I asked.
"You are not going to leave?" She asked suspiciously.
"Ah, actually you can go ahead of ." I said.
"Why so?"
"I have business I've to attend to."
"With whom? What business? If it's not long then I can wait for you." She fired rapid questions at , and by her tone I could tell that she was serious.
"Reina-san, stop acting like my mom." I chuckled.
"Koi-san…" She took a slight pause looking at in the eyes and continued, "If sothing is bothering you then free to tell ."
"Ah, of course I'll tell you about these things first. But don't worry." I smiled. Looking at her expression, she wasn't satisfied by my answer, so I decided to add sothing. "Ah, please tell Gai-kun too that I'll be late so he doesn't have to wait for or anything."
"Alright…" She narrowed her eyes and nodded. Before walking away, she turned around and said, "I swear to god, if I find out that sothing was indeed bothering you, I'm going to make you suffer and then take care of that thing." With that, she left the class.
She has always been like that. Putting her friends, or should I say close ones, before herself. I liked this side of her. I liked how she genuinely cared about , but I didn't like that the Koi she knew was an imposter. I didn't like the fact that I was lying to her. Our friendship was the biggest mark of my lie.
I noticed as the class was slowly getting instead. Many of my classmates were leaving while saying 'bye' to . The chatter around was slowly fading, too.
I slowly turned around to look at what Sakamaki was doing, but to my surprise, he wasn't there. I looked carefully and noticed that his bag was gone too. Did he just leave? Then why did he tell to et him after everyone left? Did he play a prank on ? Well, if he did, then this is quite a horrible one.
I was sitting alone in the class with nothing but the sound of my own heavy breathing and the wall clock ticking by. The class was covered in the flaming colour of the setting sun that was entering through the window.
Was the idea of not telling Gaisen a terrible choice? I an, Gaisen and he are close friends so I'm sure that sothing might have co up from that. But the problem is that I know Gaisen is a nice guy but I don't know much about Sakamaki. As far as I know, he is quite the piece of shit.
Telling anyone about my bullying would only increase the chance of that ws getting spread among students. And in high school, these things spread faster than wildfire. I can't let what happened in my past happen again to .
I know for a fact that those three girls won't ever tell anyone about them bullying . Though they might have spread rumours about if I didn't let them bully . I'm glad it was a one-ti deal, and it's over. If anything else, I can depend on Gaisen for that.
But my major concern was how did he even manage to get that picture? It wasn't like he was just walking and stumbled upon three girls bullying soone. They chose quite a secure place to assault so that no one would know about that.
Does that an he knew everything from the start?
But how?
Did Gaisen tell him? That's the most probable thing that could've happened but why would he tell Sakamaki about this?
I was slowly getting impatient now. When the heck is he going to co? Did he seriously abandon like this? After sending that picture? God I hate this.
I picked up my bag and headed towards the door. I reached my right hand towards the door handle to open it but it slid open from the other side and the figure of Sakamaki stood in front of it. He walked in carrying his usual blank expression and looked in the eye. I stepped back a few steps and increased the distance between him and .
"Hello, Kizhashi-san." He said in an indifferent tone. I couldn't tell what he was thinking.
I didn't say anything and kept staring at him. I couldn't form the correct words to reply to him. Facing him up front is a lot different from what I imagined in the scenarios. There was silence between us, and he was also staring at .
"Won't you greet back?" He said. Was he being sarcastic right now? Seriously?
"Wh… why should I? I'm under no obligation to do that." I said.
"How interesting." He chuckled while staring at . His cold gaze felt like it saw through .
