—Present— It was late at night, Ayumi finishes her homework and studies for her math test. Tanaka finally leaves the apartment. Her mother cleans up then sits down and turns the news on. Ayumi comes out her room, she was kind of hungry.
"A man around his early 40s had followed young teen girls at night and had raped them. He was caught and arrested tonight around 7:42pm, April 12th..." the TV plays. Her mother looks back at Ayumi, "Do you hear this?? What sick disgusting man!" Ayumi thinks back to the night when that she met that man, but Sanyu saved her.
She stops thinking about it then tells her mother, "I'm hungry, is there anything to cook?" Her mother leans back on the sofa, "No, I haven't bought any ingredients, Tanaka was here all day today." Ayumi rolls her eyes, "I'll go buy some to cook dinner then." "Thank you my darling!" Her mother blows a kiss at her.
She puts on her jacket and shoes then takes the apartment keys and leaves. The earplugs in her ears are blasted with loud music, she doesn't want to hear anything to be afraid of while she walks to the grocery store. The night sky was crystal clear and the stars above shined bright giving the clouds a beautiful gradient look.
After buying the ingredients, she returns home to cook dinner.
The next day, at school, Yuuto hangs out with Ayumi before class starts. He pushes Sanyu away from Ayumi. Sanyu gives him a look then goes over to Kaya. 'I want to be with Ayumi. For some reason when Yuuto's with her, I don't like it,' he tells himself.
Couple minutes later a student comes running up to Ayumi and holds her hands, "Nakamoto! Remember me?!" Her eyes widens and she was surprised, "What? Who are you??" Yuuto looks back at the student, "Move out the way, she don't know you man." "Nakamoto you slept with me once! You really don't remember?!!" The student says.
The whole class looks back and gossips to each other. "Nakamoto slept with Ishiki before?!" "That's disgusting." "She probably did it for money." "Yeah, her name IS Dirty Digger for a reason." "I though Dirty Digger meant her doing people dirty for their money?" "It could mean both ways! She's horrible!" Sanyu looks at the student and closes his hands into a fist. Kaya jumps in, "What the hell?! Who would sleep with you Ishiki?! My Ayumi here is out of your league! She isn't someone who you can just easily sleep with! You're nasty! Get the f*** out of here before I beat your a$$ up!!"
"She really did slept with me! She never showed me her face! It was under a mask! Since we did it, I'm considered her boyfriend now!" The student yells. Yuuto smirks, "Oh really? Someone like YOU is her boyfriend?" The student looks at Yuuto, "Yeah, so back your hands off my girl!" Yuuto purposely pulls Ayumi closer to him and hugs her, "But..too bad she's already with me. I'M her boyfriend. Go find someone else boy. This girl is taken by me." Jealousy kicks Sanyu hard, he thinks to himself, 'What's this feeling I keep having lately ?? Nowadays I don't like any guys being by Ayumi! And now that Yuuto says that he's her boyfriend.. I hate it! Why do I keep yearning for Ayumi? What's wrong with me?!'
After Kaya drives the student away, Ayumi backs up from Yuuto. The class looks at them, "Yuuto is dating Dirty Digger?" "Wow~ a good looking man decides to go be with someone disgusting." "There's still Sanyu~ he's super cute and handsome. He's even smart! He's a lucky man, he'll find someone better than Dirty Digger~"
Yuuto and Sanyu gets irritated, at the same time, they both yell, "SHUT UP!!" The whole class stops gossiping around and looks at each other. Sanyu and Yuuto looks at each other because of the unexpected yell they both did.
Ayumi walks to the front of the classroom, "Everyone, I would like for you all to know something..." Sona walks in the classroom, she scoffs, "No one wants to listen to you." Kaya gives Sona a death stare, "You mean, no one wants to listen to YOU, Sona." She angrily frowns at Kaya, "Oh how I hate you all..." Kaya smirks at her words then looks away.
Ayumi hesitates to speak out, "I... I'm..." She looks over to Sanyu. He looks back and mouths the words to her, "Don't be scared. You can do this." With those 7 short words he mouthed to her, she suddenly felt confident. Her nervous and fast heartbeat slows down and is now calm. Kaya smiles at Ayumi and gives her thumbs up. Sona gives her a dirty look.
"The whole thing about me being a Dirty Digger.. was a lie. I felt bad that you were all pressuring and bullying me when you don't even know the truth to this story. Why does it have to be like this? Do you really have nothing to talk about that you believe some random rumors and decide the spread it around? Is it funny to you? To step on the weak like this? If the victim dies innocently will you feel bad?? What is wrong with you all?!" Ayumi's tears drops.
Yuuto tries to go to Ayumi to cheer her up. Sanyu grabs his arm, "Don't disrupt her." He looks at Sanyu then stays still and watches Ayumi.
She continues with her speech, "Back in middle school, as a Class President! I looked out for and took care of every one of my classmates! I didn't care what happened to me, as long as my classmates are safe and happy, then I am! And because I tried to stop this girl from her wrong doings of selling fake stuff, I was wrapped up in her trap and she framed me. I was suspended. I lost my role of Class President. Students began bullying me, however before it got any worse, I transferred out of that school. Since I'm in high school now, I thought I could begin anew with a fresh start..."
The classmates carefully listens to her words.
She looks over at Sona, "It didn't last long until someone decided to bring it up again. This whole month, was hell for me because of her. Why did she do it? I have no idea. Does she hate me for any reason? I have no idea. I don't know what's wrong with her. She even accused me of stealing someone else's money.. by hiding it in my locker." The classmates turns around to look at Sona.
"How dare you f***ing tell lies about me!!" Sona screams at Ayumi. "Are you mad? Am I right about everything? Is that why you're shouting? If I was wrong, you would've remained calm. However, you reacted with shock and anger," Ayumi tells Sona.
Kaya agrees, "Yeah, why are you actin' up if it wasn't you?" "I'm going to kill you!! I will end your life!! You dare expose me!" Sona shouts and screams while pushing desks. The classmates looks at her, "So YOU'RE the Anonymous messenger who's been sending us bull$&@*." "I take my words back about Ayumi, She's a innocent and kind person. But someone like you is far worse than a Dirty Digger." "You're like a Attention Seeker, doing things just to receive a attention from us all." "Why are you in our class again?"
She screams, "Ayumi you're a f***ing sick a$$ person you b****!!! Die!!! Go to hell!!" Ayumi walks up to her and faces up in front of Sona, "At least I'm not a mentally ill person like you. Go see a hospital." Kaya gets surprised by Ayumi's words, "OHHHHH!!! My girl back fired!!!! Yes!! You go girl!!" Sanyu's jaw drops and his eyes widens, "Did she just- oh my god." Yuuto laughs out loud and smacks his legs.
The teacher walks in, "Alright student please get in your seats." He looks up and sees the scene, "Oh my- what the hell is going on?" He walks up to Ayumi and Sona them. "Sona, you started it, but I ended the game. You can clean up after your mess," Ayumi walks to her desk and sits down as if nothing ever happened. Everyone sits back down except Sona. The teacher was lost, "Was I the only one imagining that a fight would've happened? No?"
"Yeah you were the only one imagining it. Nothing was going to happen. You can start the class now, we're all ready to learn," Yuuto laughs. Sanyu looks over at Ayumi and smiles. Kaya hugs Ayumi, "You were freaking awesome!" Ayumi's heart beats extremely fast.
