CHAPTER 4 LET'S BE FRIENDS

Two days after picking for the class representative. Five in the afternoon at Sakurai high school. Yui got invited by Ryuu because he has an important message for her.

"I... I love y-you Yui! so please go out with me!"

"I've always liked you since the beginning of our first year. I'm so happy knowing that we are classmates in our first year. I always watching you. But when we step up in the second year. I received a message that you are going to enroll at Sakurai high. So I followed you here. as you can see, things got complicated..."

"I can't, that's enough Ryuu thank you that you confess your love for me I appreciate it b-but that's enough I just-I can't, I'm so sorry I'm leaving now... Sorry..."

".....Yui?....."

"Huh? What? You b*tch!. Do you still remember you were smiling at me when I'm alone? You said that I should believe in myself. Don't you know how many times I failed so I can become this popular! so that you can like me!."

"You know what, the rumors are true that you only like men because of their bodies." Ryuu closed both of his fists, looked up at the sky smiling miserably. "yeah, they are right HAHAHA. You are a f*cking whore, that's kind of women you are sl*t!. You are just using your face and body as an advantage to get what you want!"

Ryuu was still throwing malicious words, But Yui didn't look at him. She is just walking away while Ryuu is laughing in despair.

"Oy... Wait! Yui! why don't you defend yourself?! huh!. Because all that I have said is true! Go runaway b*tch AHHAHAHAHAHHA" Ryuu in a burst of deep and loud disrespectful laughter.

==========================

Day after Ryuu got rejected. Some rumors spreading that Yui was pregnant and didn't know who was the father of this child. That rumor spread so fast, and it got all over the school.

In the class of second-year room three, Ichiru approaches Akari and Maki. Ichiru was holding his pen and clicking the bottom part that makes an unpleasant sound.

"Akari, did you know the rumor about Yui?" Ichiru asks.

"Huh? what humor?" Akari cried in confusion.

Ichiru slants his face toward Akari's ears and whispers, "You know that she is pregnant."

"Wait. what?!" Akari was peacefully sitting on the top of his desk, Without a warning, he heard the unexpected, and he straightens his feet on the ground holding himself up. "are you sure that is true!?" He aggressively asks Ichiru.

"I heard it was all over the place," Ichiru immediately pinches the lips of Akari. "Shhh be quiet idi*t she's right over there."

"Who spread that humor?" Maki asks with a very intimidating tone.

"I don't know it beats me, but when I was walking to buy some coffee. there is a group of guys talking to." Ichiru murmured while thinking. "hmmm...what was his name again?"

"R-r-..."

"Ryuu," Akari said in a fierce look.

"Ohh yeah, Ryuu, it looks like they are talking about Yui. Ichiru places both of his hands in his armpit from side to side. "Wait a minute. How did you know him?"

Akari walks right in front of the window. Both Maki and Akari were incredulous on what they are hearing.

"Well, I think we need to teach him some lessons," Akari said while cracking his bones in his hands. "Oiii Maki, you heard it too right." Akari punches his left palm hardly and grinds his teeth.

"Yeah. while we were walking, I heard it loud and clear."

"Ohhh btw that bun was so delicious." Akari still remembers the taste of that sweet strawberry bun.

"wait, what are you saying. both of you?" Ichiru asks out of confusion.

"Hey, mister class rep," Maki ordered Akari to make ready. "Tomorrow, let's hunt." Maki cannot contain himself, and you could see his eyes started to burn in anger, "Ohh, Shut up! class rep my a**" Akari said and with a quick. "bleh bleh."

"What happened to those two. Well, Better keep going," Ichiru said while pushing the bottom of his pen, and they started walking towards their respective seats.

=============

The clock at Sakurai high stuck five.

The class has ended. A group of girls was waiting for Yui to leave the school. And they started following her everywhere she goes. They keep on walking in complete silence, looking at the surroundings, and wondering if someone could see them.

"Shhh. keep quiet." The Random girl said while placing her index finger into her lips.

"where is she going?"

"Ohh, Look an empty park over there. It looks like there is no one around." They quickly surveyed the place.

"if it gets dark. you know what to do okay?"

"but are you sure we need to do this?"

"if you don't want. then run away, remember she wants to steal your boyfriend too."

"Yeah, you are right. I will be the first who will beat her,"

"Shhh... Look she's walking straight to the park."

When Yui saw a little cat in an empty park, She immediately gives the kitten a portion of food and started petting it. When she was unguarded, One of them hit Yui with a dry wood at her back. Two of them put a sack on her head so she would not see who was involved. They beat her until she passes out and while she was unconscious. The group of girls is still not contented. They harassed the kitten.

"What should we do to this cat?"

"I think we should hang it somewhere else." The random student said while she laughs wickedly.

"I think that's a good idea."

Yui was in complete blackout for forty minutes. After she wakes up she can't move her arms and legs. Yui breathes heavily because of the sack on her head that will eventually suffocate her to death.

"HELP! PLEASE! ANYBODY THERE? PLEASE"

"HELP ME" She screams at the top of her lungs. Luckily a gardener showed up and help her out. She found herself lying on the ground and right before her eyes. Yui saw the poor little kitten was hanged on top of the pole, just a few meters distance from her. she was trembling and unable to say anything. She waits for few minutes for her legs to move again. After that, she and the gardener immediately untied the cat and buried it.

When she got home, her parents were watching tv on the sala. She sneaks her way towards her room, and she heals herself. When she looked at the mirror, Yui started crying.

===========================

Yui comes to school with bruises on her arms and legs, and still, the rumors are spreading like a poison that keeps crawling. It is not visible on the outside. Yet it was vulnerable into their mind.

As she walks in the center of the hallway, Yui imagines she was walking in a pitch-black place with red scary eyes that glows only in the dark. And laughs that will hunt her in her sleep.

Akari saw Yui walking awkwardly. "Why did you come to school with that all bruises on you" He was worried, and he immediately sprints towards Yui. She looks at him and says, "because I love to learn" She smiles despite being hurt. Yui was like broken glass whoever comes near her will only get hurt. But when she bathed in the light, she shines.

Akari was speechless because of Yui's bravery,

then Yui walks towards the classroom while wearing Akari's jacket

Beginning until lunch break Akari was so worried about Yui, he saw a bunch of girls that look suspicious, he talk to maki and Ichiru

"I think yui is in danger"

"Maki, ichiru stick to the plan"

"I will follow them"

"Okay!"

he followed them until they arrived at the empty place of the school he saw Yui and heard about their conversation.

"now apologize"

"I'm so sorry" *frightened voice*

but one of them slaps Yui and said

"kneel"

The other girls were pushing her to kneel when she was about to do it Yuko was in front of her making herself as a shield.

"What are doing here?"

"Hey Weirdo go away or you will suffer the consequences"

"Did you hear me?"

"I said go away!"

Yuko was still protecting Yui then when that girl is trying to slap Yuko, Akari arrived holding that girl's hand with a strong grip

"Enough"

that time they are all trembling, that's the first time they saw Akari look so pissed.

"H-h-hey A...Akari why are you protecting them?"

"It w-will ruined your reputation in scho..."

"like the f*ck I care about that reputation!"

"once you hurt both of them again I would be the one who kills you!"

"DON'T MESS WITH THEM!"

"BECAUSE THEY ARE MY FRIENDS!"

Maki and Ichiru appeared

"Hey Akari chill we brought Ryuu just like what you said"

"Oii Ryuu you keep on running" - "d*mn you are a good runner"

"Say the truth or I would cut your tongue for good"

"o-o-okay I will say it, Kanna the rumor about Yui is not true I just make all of that because I got rejected by her and I can't accept it! so please! don't bother her anymore"

"And so you know Ryuu, Kanna has a crush on you she cannot accept the fact that you pick Yui over her and got rejected, your section is one hell of a class"

"Full of creepy people"

Akari cannot control his temper so he threatened them

"Run before I can kill you all"

"Y-yes sir" *scared toned*

someone saw them

*Random two people*

"Saw that eyeglass freak"

"Shut up"

"Where are you going?"

"I'm leaving, This gets more interesting hmm"

"Time for club meeting I'm leaving too"

"Hey, glass-freak wanna participate in the meeting for the school eve..."

Akari got a hold of himself so he checks if Yui and Yuko are doing fine.

"Are you okay Yui?", "How about you Yuko?"

"They won't bother you anymore"

"You're gonna be okay trust us Yui"

"And sorry I screamed that we are friends hehe", "can we?"

"Y-yes of course", "T-thank you, everyone"

Yui thanked them for protecting her, she gives them a bright and beautiful smile they were all mesmerized.

- "d*mn she's so cute" *three of them*

Yuko hugs her and gives her a hairpin and Yui started crying, Akari was so happy he looked at both of them.

The spreading of false information has been stopped, Ryuu and Kanna's group got suspended for 3weeks and the school takes action about their behavior.

While Yui was still recovering from the horrible things that happened she sat down at an empty table where no one was around.

Yuko saw her eating lunch alone so she picks up her diary and gives it to Yui saying

"Can I sit here?", "let us eat together"

"Sure yuko" *smiled*

"Ohh I remembered I haven't thanked you yet right"

"Thank you yuko for saving me"

"I didn't know what to do that time"

"I...I *she started crying* I'm so scared really scared"

"T...t...thank you Y-yuko!"

"By the way Yuko do you still remember that time you got bumped to me?"

"Mmmmm?" Yuko was confused and don't remember such a thing

"That's not fair we are even in the same class!, ha-ha just kidding Forget it because now you are my friend," Yui said

both of them share laughter as they eat their lunch peacefully.
