Chapter 67

Today morning, our class was not as lively as it uses to be. Ever since the news of Himari's death had appeared on the screen and the newspaper, almost everyone had a frown on their face.

Yui was on another hand, she didn't even utter a single word since she first arrived until now. Yui who used to be cheerful to everyone is now being in the corner of her table and cry silently. Seeing her state like that, I feel quite bad for her.

I was no different either way after I couldn't sleep well last night and had ended up staying late at night. My eyelids are heavy every time I try to keep it open. For the whole morning, I just bury my face on the desk so that no one can see how bad is my face after I spend my whole night crying.

''Miyu-chan, are you alright? Your eyes seem a bit swollen.'' Yuuto asked me in concern.

''I am fine...I just get too emotional yesterday....''

All of a sudden, the door was slide open. Mrs Suzuki was there in a black dress and her hair was tied into a neat bun. She casually places the attendant book on the front desk and bow at our class before we could even get up on the class president's call.

Mrs Suzuki looks at us with her emotionless expression before she began to call out the students name and take their attendant.

''Takahashi Miyu.''

''Arrived, Mrs!'' I reach up to my hand.

''Tamiguchi Hideki.''

''Arrived, sensei.'' Hideki called out.

She goes on calling out the student's name and she didn't call Himari's name as if she was been in this class in the first place. After Mrs Suzuki had finished taking the attendant like always she will announce the school latest information.

''As you all know that we have lost one student of our class. I was informed that Himari-san will be mourned today. You all are welcomed to give her final respect on her house, after the school of course. Despite everything that happened, today's examination will be taking place as planned.'' Mrs Suzuki said.

''And our principle decide that our school lesson will be shortened into 30 minutes every lesson. This way, the students can go back home before the sunset.''

Mrs Suzuki takes a short break before continuing her speech.

''Students....'' She said gently. It surprised me to see her talk gently since she always talks as if we were in a military school.

''Please, take care of yourself and don't go back late at night. I was still in shock after hearing one of my students were brutally been murdered. All of you should have got back home as soon as possible.''

Soon enough I notice that her eyes are slowly gone red and teary but she quickly wiped it away with her sleeve.

''Um... Okay, class, that's all for today. Good luck for your examination later.'' Mrs Suzuki wished. Then she slightly bows at us before she went out of the classroom.

''I never expected someone as cold as her could cry like that...'' Yuuto murmured.

''Yea....so do I...'' I look outside the window and notice that the sky was a bit cloudy.

***

After the exam, I continue to bury my head on my desk although the school was over. Most of my classmate already went home but I decide to stay in the class a little longer and I don't have to worry about anything since Yuuto will be clinging around me.

''To be honest, trying to figure out the math solutions worn me off. My head is aching right now.'' I murmured.

''But the questions was quite simple actually. All you need is to know how to use the right formula on the right question.'' Yuuto started to pack his book into his bag.

''Stop burying your head like an ostrich and hurry up pack your things. It looks like it going to rain now.''

''Ugh... fine....'' I groaned.

As I started to pack my books into my bag, all of a sudden our P.E teacher asked Yuuto for some help with arranging the kendo equipments in the storeroom.

''Yuuto-san, come and help me out.'' Mr Kojima said.

''Eh? Why should I?'' Yuuto looked at him in confusion.

''Yuuto, since when you have become so disobedient huh? Here let me 'welcome' you to go with me.''

Mr Kojima grabbed his back collar and dragged him.

''Miyu-san, you should go back home early. It's going to rain, so here, use this.'' Mr Kojima handed me Yuuto's umbrella that he casually take it from Yuuto's hand.

''Thank you, Sensei.'' I smiled.

''Then I am I suppose to go back without an umbrella?'' Yuuto asked.

Mr Kojima just smiled at him.

''Well, you don't need one since you will be going back with me after we finish arrange the equipment that you neglected."

"Noo!!!" Yuuto groaned as he was been dragged away by Mr Kojima.

"Pfft!" I chuckled.

I find it was quite funny to see how Yuuto been dragged away by Mr Kojima as if they were bestie.

"I should get going then." I murmured to myself.

On the way back, I notice that the hallways are empty and there's no one around. Like my everyday routine, I will change my shoes and head towards my bicycle.

As I was about to unlock my bicycle's lock, I saw that Sakura and Yui have slowly approached me. Deep down, I began to feel uneasy by seeing them.

So, I hurry up and push my bicycle, heading towards the school gate. Suddenly, Yui pushed me from the back and causing me to fall on the ground with my bicycle.

''Hey! What are you trying to do, Yui-san?''

She ignored me and pull my bicycle away from me. Yui started to kick me in the stomach a few time while scolding me.

''You bitch! Ever since I meet you, everything had gone wrong!'' She scolded as she keeps on kicking me multiple times.

''Ugh!!'' I groaned.

Then Sakura bend down and pulled my hair forcefully.

''Argh!!! Let go of my hair, Sakura!''

''It was because of your salty mouth, Himari-san is dead!'' Sakura scolded me.

I noticed that she was holding sharp scissors on her hand and it was aiming at me.

"I will teach you a lesson that you will never forget!" Sakura hold up the scissors and aimed my face.

Seeing her acting this way makes me remember of my sensei. Instantly, my whole body trembled in fear as all the traumatic memory appears right before my eyes.

"Please...don't hurt me..." My eyes widen as she was about to cut my face.

''Girls, do you mind explaining this?'' A familiar voice stopped her.

I look behind her and saw that Touma was there in front of us. His purple eyes ranged in anger.

''Do I need to repeat the same question?" Touma asked.

"ANSWER ME!"
