I was walking towards the nearest fast food joint. It was quite cold outside as November was coming towards an end. I was wearing my usual sweatshirt so the chilly weather didn't affect much.
Days were getting shorter too, as it was only 5 in the evening but the sky was getting darker. The streets were busy as usual. I was heading towards downtown as that place had a ton of restaurants and fast food joints.
I used to live in a neighbourhood which was a bit far from the main city. But it didn't bother much as I realised that living near the downtown or any actively congested place would've been quite a trouble.
The area I lived in was quiet and peaceful unlike those parts where hordes of people and tons of cars are passing by every few seconds making a lot of noise.
Living there was like a nightmare for .
I walked up to the fast food joint and noticed that it was a bit more crowded than usual. Well it was a Saturday so I wouldn't have expected anything else. I made my way inside the building.
As I entered, the sudden transition in temperature from cold to hot was quite comfortable as they got heaters inside the building. I was quite a frequent custor there so I was acquainted with the cashier there.
Since I went there a lot, he had a pretty good idea of my go-to orders.
I was having a small talk with the cashier while my order was being prepared. He was talking between the intervals between bills so it wasn't really an active conversation. It was more like we were just acknowledging each other.
My eyes were wandering around every now and then, watching over the groups of people around . It was unusually packed inside. As I was to walk off with my order, my shoulder bumped quite roughly with soone.
"You…" I heard a raspy voice directed towards . Looking towards the guy, I noticed it was none other than Shig. He was staring at , as I broke the ice between us, "What a coincidence seeing you here."
He wasn't really fond of , neither was I.
"Definitely it is." He replied and an awkward silence grew between us again. He was holding a piece of paper in his hand which I assud was his bill. His dark eyes were gazing at while he had a plain expression on his face.
Observing the situation wasn't going anywhere, I decided to leave.
I walked past him without trying to continue the conversation any further. As I walked out the door, I turned back and glanced at him for a mont.
Sothing struck my mind.
I heard door being pushed open and the figure of Shig walking out of there while looking at his mobile. I waved at him and called out his na, "Hey! Dude…"
He waa caught off guard by my voice as he looked around a bit confused. His gazes fell upon and narrowed his eyes while asking, "Yea?"
"Can we... Have a talk?"
It was a good opportunity.
"Yeah…" He replied with abit of hesitation in voice. After staring at for a mont, he added nervously, "...Actually I wanted to talk about sothing to."
I found it rather weird that he wanted to talk with . But it didn't matter since he won't be of much use after that conversation.
We started walking down the street while none of us said anything. It was of course quite awkward for both of us since we didn't know each other properly and on top that, Shig seed to have so sort of hatred towards .
"What did you want to talk about?" I asked him, as it was getting a bit awkward between us. He glanced at and said, "I should be asking that!"
"Well, I just wanted to ask how Shiraishi's doing?" I directly got to the point. He looked at with a bit surprise on his face while the words from his mouth trailed off, "Dude…"
"No, like she haven't been talking to ." I said with an awkward tone and he raised his eyebrows. I averted my towards the road in front of and added, "We had a fight few days ago."
"Damn, no comnts." I heard him gasp amd after a few monts of silence he said, "I don't know fam, I don't talk much with her."
"Well you have your reasons so I understand. I thought you might've an idea."
"She… looked normal to be honest with you." He replied in a hesitant tone. I turned towards him with a plain expression on my face as he quickly added, "I an she looked her usual self, but that's maybe because I only observe her from far."
"Ah, and what about that dude? Who was bullying her?" I asked, as he a frown ford on his face and he replied, "That piece of shit isn't talking with her after that day."
"Wasn't that incident very weird?"
Though I haven't give that incident much thought, it was quite unsettling especially if I considered it from Shiraishi's perspective. Soone randomly writing insults about her and presenting it in front of huge audience was really a bold move.
"What do you an?"
"That paper with rumours about her."
"Yeah, but I didn't give it much thought. We sought the situation out at the end so it was good."
"Though, I was curious as to who made it. I'm pretty sure it was him."
"He have sothing against her since she rejected him. What a bastard!"
"To be honest, by his reaction it seed like he had no idea about that."
"For real? I'm pretty suspicious of him. But I didn't confront him since it would just end up escalating the situation."
"Yes, I think."
After all, it was who made that paper. It was whoV
