Chapter 5 - I am back, in the squad! but....

Okay, this is really creepy!

I don't know what is going on, right now. I think I shall go crazy if I stayed here, anymore.

Well, it's already lunch break and I dashed to the restroom as soon as the bell rang.

Now I am sitting on a toilet seat and locked the door.

There were five lectures had passed since and every time my next teacher asked me the same freaking question!

Which is, 'Who the heck am I?'

All five subject teacher asked the same question. They all said they never saw me before.

Even the math teacher forgot me? She knew me very well and not in a good light. Because most of the time I didn't turn in my maths homework. So she always used to lecture and punish me, she even visited my home for the same reason.

She also asked if I was a new transfer student or what.

If this is a mass prank, then I would see some camera's but there were none. So I don't think they are acting.

I even pinched myself with full strength. I wasn't even dreaming, and this was the reality.

Soon after I returned to the classroom and sat down on my seat. Well, it's lunchtime and I left home in a hurry so I hadn't bought my lunch box. I took my wallet from my bag.

The classroom was half empty as some of them preferred to eat outside whereas others joined their student desk and ate lunch together with their respective friends.

I searched in my classroom and it seems Dylan and the gang weren't present. I guess they are eating outside in our usual place.

I went to the school cafeteria. I was a little late and most of the good stuff was already been taken. I had bought the tuna fish sandwich, which was the only thing remaining anyway. It didn't taste good but I was pretty hungry, so I can't complain.

I head to the backyard which was our hangout place.

Our hangout place was the usual backyard of the school. We used to sit under the trees on the grassy lawn. It was pretty spacious and quiet. We loved to relax under the shade of the trees.

As expected all of my squad fam gang were gossiping and enjoying their time.

This time even Brian, Nicholas and Sophia were present.

I guess they also won't remember me, anyway.

I also spotted Calista! It seems she was getting along with the rest of the gang very well. I guess she is now an official member of the squad fam.

I am happy, that she joined our friend circle. If she had joined any other circle in our class then it might get a little hard to befriend her and get close to her.

I guess it could be that this school could have been possessed or something?

Which could explain why no one remembers.

What the fuck am I saying, is this a manga or light novel?!

For now, if they have forgotten me, then all I need to do is just join in my squad fam again.

Yes, that's all I have to do for now. I shall later think about this mess later.

I approached my squad fam.

As usual, they were all hanging out together as if they are having a picnic. Damn it! I also wanna join them so BAD!

Rihanna was sitting under the tree and sipping on her milk carton which she bought from the vending machine.

Helena and Brian seemed asleep on the lawn.

Nicholas was reading some sorta book.

Whereas Sophia, Dylan, and Calista still seemed to be still eating their lunch box.

I slowly approached them, I am a bit nervous. It felt like I was about to confess my love or something. I don't know why am I even feeling nervous. We have known each other for more than a year.

Then all of a sudden,

"I might have made much more lunch than I could eat. Would you like some Dylan? Sophia?", Calista asked as she opened her lunch box.

Sophia and Dylan were surprised.

"That looks delicious! I shall then help myself", answered Dylan enthusiastically.

"Oh, Sure. Did you cook that yourself?", asked Sophia.

A smile appeared in Calista's face,

"Yep! Both my parents are working, so I usually prepare breakfast and dinner as well. I also make my mom and Dad's lunch box as well."

"Wow! Calista's handmade lunch-", I blurted out my mind without thinking.

To my sudden outburst, which was heard by them.

Dylan, Sophia, and Calista looked in my direction. I think they were startled and hadn't noticed my presence.

Even Rihanna glanced at me as she continued to sip with the straw in her milk carton.

"Excuse me, can we help you?", Dylan asked me.

Well, here goes nothing.

I stepped forward and stood in front of them.

With a short cough, I cleared my throat.

I bowed my head.

"I am Sebastian Wilmoth, sorry for startling earlier and I am not any stalker or a creep. I would like to be friends with you all and hope we could get along. Please let me join your friend circle.", I said with sincerity.

I had closed off my eyes. I guess was a bit nervous so I unintentionally did that.

Although I waited for a couple of seconds there was no response.

But when I slowly opened my eyes, everyone had a twisted look.

Huh did I do something wrong here?

They all looked with a weird expression. Nicholas closed his book and turned towards me.

Even Helena and Brian woke up. I guess I said it a little too loud, did I?

There was this awkward silence for seconds, which looked as if it was more than a minute.

The first one to break the silence was Rihanna.

"That was so creepy, you know!"

She stood up and squashed her milk carton and perfectly threw inside the trash can beside.

She then got close to me, as she stared my face.

Wow, her face was pretty close. Although she was short in height, she looked pretty cute. Also, she smelled nice.

"Why you wanna join in our friend circle, all of a sudden? That is pretty shady, you know?", Rihanna bombarded with multiple questions.

And I have no idea how should I even answer her questions. She doesn't remember and if I say that I used to be their friend and somehow, everyone's memory in the school of my whole existence was erased for some reasons.

They would never believe such a thing.

As I was thinking about an appropriate answer to her questions. Rihanna suddenly backed off from me and grabbed crossed her arm.

"You must be some kinda pervert! That must be it! Are you after one of the girls from our group. A Rapist!", she said with a grim tone. Her eyes were darkened as if she was looking at some disgusting scum.

I certainly was aiming for one of the girls, but I have no intention of r@pe!

"Hey wait for just a second! I am no pervert or rapist. It's just… you people looked kinda fun! So I wanted to join up and become friends. That's all!", I replied back with a louder tone. I was a bit pissed off!

How dare this little runt call me a rapist and that also in front of Calista!

"So why did you say, 'sorry for earlier, I ain't-a stalker or creep', so why did you say that?", Rihanna asked as she made poorly imitation of myself. Even if she was being sarcastic, it wasn't even funny but pitiable.

She continued,

"Every criminal says that he didn't do the crime. You yourself even started your introduction by stating that you weren't any creep or pervert. Which in itself was very creepy."

Now she even replaced stalker with a pervert. But she herself called me a stalker in during the 1st homeroom period.

But I don't know how I should get through them. It would have been better if I could make conversation with Dylan or Helena or some other person. Rihanna was acting as if she was like a boss, and she owns the squad fam. Did she think herself as some kinda guardian or something?

Well if I have to get through this situation, there is only one way.

That would be if I befriend her than I could easily be friends with the rest of them. But to befriend Rihanna is no joke! She's a pretty skeptical girl and she has no friends other than us. Somehow she became friends through Big Sis (Helena). They both are childhood friends and Big sis introduced her to our group. It took some time to get along with the rest of the group. Big sis was pretty pushy and dragged Rihanna around, the same as how Dylan dragged me around.

Well now that even Big sis doesn't remember me, it seemed pretty difficult to befriend Rihanna.

I guess I have to use the trump card.

That is the only option I have left.

I have to win her by my charms, THAT IS THE ONLY WAY!

Every girl like compliments and she is no different.

I combed and adjusted my hair and also straightened my collar. I presented myself as a gentleman. I even adjusted my vocals to sound mature and manly.

"Who wouldn't want to be friends with such a lovely lady like you.", I replied to Rihanna with a wink and gentle smile.

Well, Rihanna wasn't much popular with boys thanks to her twisted personality. I guess a random handsome (self-proclaimed) boy, suddenly calling her lovely and wanna be friends, even a tough nut like Rihanna's heart would skip a beat.

If not, then she has to be a lesbian.

After I said there was silence all of a sudden. I guess everyone was shocked, as a random guy appears and tries to hit on Rihanna of all people.

I shall clear the misunderstanding to Calista after I befriend Rihanna once.

In response, Rihanna backed further away from me. She crossed her arms and grabbed her body.

"You sick bastard! You.. you have no shame?! You openly… declares... declaring such outrageous things! You are after my body! You freaking gang rapist!", she responded, blushingly. Her face was tomato red. She doesn't even make sense of what she is saying.

Also, I was promoted from rapist to gang-rapist. I don't know how this works, but you need at least more than one rapist to call yourself gang rapist. She again insulted me in front of, Calista!

You know what, this shit ain't worth it.

"I am no lolicon, so you needn't worry.", that was my reply. I said without any emotion.

There I said it. Enough of your bullshit!

I won't just stand here and listen to all your insults.

All of sudden her blushing red face changed. She grabbed the nearby empty lunch box and charged at me.

I pumped my fist and ready myself like a boxer.

I am also a man, I have some dignity that I wanna protect. My manly pride is in the line. Bring it on BITCH!!

But as soon as I look at her face. I was petrified. She had this menacing bloodlust and such an evil look like some of a serial killer out of a movie.

My fighting spirit instantly went out like a candle's flame and my legs weren't moving. I was getting intimidated by Rihanna? Seriously! Why my body isn't moving, why am I having a cold feet all of a sudden? It felt as if I had jumped in front of a running train and my death was imminent.

You know what! Fuck my manly pride, somebody! Somebody stop her! Anyone!

She was just one arm closer and she swung her metal lunch box aimed at my face. My hands and legs were trembling.

In the nick of time, Big sis grabbed Rihanna by the collar and stopped her. She lifted the angry Rihanna in the air.

THANK GOD, I was saved! Rihanna continued to struggle and free herself but Big sis didn't let her free.

All of a sudden, Dylan jumped in.

"Calm down Rihanna! You shouldn't go calling any people rapist. Even though he gathered the courage to confess, you!", Dylan then wrapped his arm around my neck, "Well you have some guts to confess your love to Rihanna, I give you that!"

"Huh? No, you got it all wrong, it's not like that."

"Haha! No worries! Welcome to the squad fam.", said to me with a cheerful smile.

Huh? They all are getting the wrong idea.

"I never thought, Rihanna would ever be proposed. I am so glad for you!", Helena said as she hugged Rihanna tightly. Rihanna was suffocating and drowning between big sis's big boobs.

"Hey! As I said I didn't mean-" before I could clear the misunderstanding. The bell rang at it marked the end of lunchtime.

"Welcome!"

"Welcome aboard"

Nicholas and Brian both patted my back as they greeted me, they left for the classroom.

What was that all about? Were they sympathizing with me?

"It's nice to meet you! I hope we get along", Sophia also welcomed me.

"Hey! Who said that you could join our group! Get lost! Fuck off!! Hey sis, let me down! Let me down in this instant!", Rihanna was pretty unhappy me joining the group but Helena lifted her by the waist with just one arm and took her to the classroom.

"Let's get back to our classes, shall we?" Dylan asked me with a bright smile.

"Sure", I replied back with a smile.

I was pretty happy that we became friends once again, although I have to clear some misunderstandings.

We both marched towards the classroom together.

"Oh, by the way, my name's Dylan what's was your name again, something sebastian, something?", he asked.

Huh? Is he asking again my name? I had already introduced myself in front of the class like about five times when asked by our subject teachers. I also just announced in the backyard a few minutes ago. He should have remembered at least that. Nevermind!

"My names Sebastian, Sebastian Wilmoth. But you can call me, Seb in short."

Even though, Dylan himself nicknamed me Seb. He doesn't remember that.

"Oh, nice to meet you, Seb!"

But the next question really hit me hard.

"So what class are you in?", Dylan asked.
