CHAPTER TWO
- Lunchtime -
Rin walks back inside and decides to visit the student council room. As he was about to walk, he sees a girl block his way. It was Nagomi. "N-nagomi-san? what are you doing here?" says Rin. "What am I doing here? the teachers were looking for you. They kept asking me to search for you. And I had to lie that you went home... when in reality, you skipped." Nagomi cries. "I'm so sorry... I just... didn't feel like attending my classes today" Rin says in his usual soft voice. "You could've just stayed at home... now if they find out you're here, we'll both be in trouble... you know what, let's just go to the student council room and sort this out." Nagomi replies anxiously and takes his hand while walking to the student council room.
[Nagomi's POV]
I sighed as I walked. I felt anxious and regretful for what I did. I shouldn't have lied. And I shouldn't have involved myself with Rin. But I guess... it's too late to turn my back on him now. I started walking swiftly while tightening my grip on his hand making sure that nobody recognized him.
Both have arrived at the room and talked things out. A few minutes passed by and they've came up with an agreement. "So. You're staying here until the other students are gone. got it?" Nagomi whispers. "Yeah, yeah I got it." Says Rin. As they both continued to talk, they hear someone going towards their direction. Both of them started panicking as they thought it could have been a teacher. Not long after they looked at each other with fright, hoping for the worst that could happen, the door opened. A tall-looking guy, with eyes that have a touch of grey in it entered the room silently. Nagomi sighs in relief. "Phew... I thought you were a teacher..." she mumbles. "Hm? What was that? Did you say something?" says the guy. He looks at Nagomi and Rin suspiciously. "Did I interrupt something? you both became quiet all of a sudden.." he asks teasingly. Nagomi's face turned red "u-uh w-wha- n-no-" she stuttered. Rin lost it and jumped from the corner he hid in. "EXCUSE ME? WHAT WERE YOU THINKING YUKI? WE WERE JUST TALKING. DON'T TAKE IT AS IF WE DID SOMETHING. OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT. IT WAS NOTHING." Rin babbles while his face turned red as well. Yuki starts laughing. "My my! Both of you are blushing" he says while laughing. "Well yeah of course. I'm embarrassed. Dammit Yuki you're getting on my nerves." Rin says as he face palms. "Hahahaha. I have one question though. I thought you sent home?" Yuki asks. Rin stays silent for a couple of seconds. "Well the thing is, I just skipped my morning classes and apparently Nago-san was asked about me and was forced to lie since she had no idea where I went so she had to tell the teachers that I was sent home." Rin says in a low yet audible voice. "Oh, really? well then you're both secret safe with me." Yuki smiles as he looks at both of them. Rin and Nagomi thanks and hugs him to show their gratitude. Later on, the three of them ended up talking and carrying the conversation until the end of lunchtime.
A few minutes passed by and lunchtime was over. Everyone went back to their respective classrooms and attended class (except for Rin since he had to stay in the student council room).
[Hana's POV]
It was time for Science. I had high hopes as it was the only subject that distracted me from my thoughts. I eagerly waited for the teacher only to find out that we're having a SUBSTITUTE today :(. What a bummer. It's probably going to end up being a boring ass discussion. Welp, I'll have to bear with it then.
- 5 minutes into the discussion -
This is getting hella boring already and I hate it. I knew that if I got bored or suddenly wanting to part away from what's happening right now, I'd start producing unwanted thoughts again. I tried fidgeting, doodling on my notebook, paying attention, observing the trees outside of my window to distract myself but, nothing seemed to work. I ended up getting stranded into my thoughts once again since I clearly had no choice either way. It's getting tiring already. I'm so tired of my own thoughts and pains. I just wish for someone out there to help me. Not physically, but mentally and emotionally. I just hope that there's a person who could easily connect with me without having to try so hard or a person who wouldn't get tired of me for seeking their help. I won't be able to do all of this on my own...
