It's 6 o'clock. I'm waiting in the gym, playing basketball...might as well. Maehara said he'll come! What's taking these guys so long! ? Earlier today, I told Maehara that I should train him AND Mitsuru, for some reason he was awfully excited...especially the fact that Mitsuru should come to play basketball. And because of that he ran off saying that he'll meet me here. But I don't think they're coming. .especially that Mitsuru guy... I grab my bag, before I start to turn around, I hear a loud bang! The doors swung open, and Maehara. .. is grabbing MITSURU!
What the hell?! Mitsuru is trying to resist as his feet were being dragged and scraping the floor. Maehara seems to be carrying him by his jumper, which is tied around Mitsuru's chest, under his arms. But my question is..
How is he able to do that?! He looks so weak!
"What the hell happened?!" I screamed out.
"...I..have him...He's...mine..." He's panting, Mitsuru looks at him, in a pissed off mood.
"Ew! I don't belong to anyone!"
"What happened?!" I said in confusion. I didn't expect them to come at all. But why...? They didn't do so well in the afternoon, but why is Maehara so keen in doing this NOW.
"...Ha...long..story.." Maehara said as he breathed heavily, then he just collapsed on the floor!
"...I'm finally free! " He exclaimed quietly but I heard him just in time to stop him from getting away.
"You're not going anywhere..."
1 HOUR AGO
**MITSURU FUKUYAMA **
"Come with me...I need to show you something.."
Maehara said with such exceeding confidence. Dispite that. .. I still reject him...Because. ..I don't care...
"Uh. No." What the hell does he want to show me? I'm not wasting my vision for some ting stupid and useless.
"No! You have to!"
"No. I don't. Now, get out of my way. " I try to dodge him but he kept popping up infront of me!
"Listen Mitsuru! Come on! It will only take a minute!"
"You know what else takes a minute... Breathing. I'm not trying to waste my time operating as a normal being. So get out of my face and let me breathe!"
"I'm not telling you to hold your breath. .." He muttered as he looked away. But I don't care, I'm glad that I'm getting away from him. Life just got easier. I continue walking for a while, down the hallway...Until. ..
"I know about your diary!" I froze.
"What?!" I turned around with anger in my eyes. This must be some sort of joke. Anyone could be listening. If only he doesn't blurt everything out! Unfortunately, I looked at his face, stern and serious. This isn't and joke. Damn! I quickly walked toward him and grabbed him by the collar.
"How much did you read?!" My voice was firm, as I spoke through the space within my teeth. I was angry. Filled with rage!
"Hey! Calm down! I didn't read it, I swear!...But can we take this elsewhere?..." I wasn't too convinced but I sighed heavily as I released him. I need to know the truth.
We went to the boys bathroom, to talk. "How do you know-" "About the diary?..." He interrupted me, by finishing the question.
"I had to go in your to gwt some of my stuff..of course, I also have the keys to your room, since me and nd you were supposed to be room mates."
"Yeah, shouldn't you ask before going in?..."
"What's the point?. ..When I have the key?..." I rolled my eyes.
"You saw the diary, didn't you?"
"That's right, but I didn't read it. ..I just took a close inspection" That's the same thing as reading it you jackass!
"So why did you mention it?... If you didn't read it..."
"I just want to talk..."
"About what..?" I was thinking that maybe it had something to do with the diary. However, he smiled back at me sinisterly.
"Well...You see...I'm gonna use your secrets...-" "To bribe me..." I interrupted but I saw that coming, so there was no point in trying to threaten me by making me do your bidding with my diary. So I had an emotionless expression.... But he didn't see that coming!
"Exactly..." He stared blankly.
"Well then, go ahead and try! You won't get your dirty little hands on that book! EVER! In your life! And, that diary is very important to me...if anyone found out then your life will be good as gone!...Got it?...What?...Cat caught your tongue?..Or is it that you didn't expect me to figure it out so quickly.." Maehara had a strange reaction to what I was saying, as though he didn't even listen to my threat at all!
"Well...I didn't even start the bribe yet!" He pouted like a big baby.
"Let me ask you this...How did you know that my diary was a secret of mine in the first place?..."
"Simple...Coz, you never mentioned to us before. So when I found out that you had a diary, I knew you didnt want anyone to know about it. That's what I planned to do too. However, if I make sure not to tell anyone about it, then maybe one little could be leaked out that, everyone could become SO curious that they could just swoop in and take it. But of course...You DO know...I don't intend to keep a secret like that locked inside me, forever...So...I need a proper paycheck...You know how it works.."
He opened his out expecting a literal paycheck. I let out a sigh... Great...Just great! All I have to do is do what he asks and then hopefully he won't say a word, to anyone! That also mean that I have to keep a close eye on him.
"You don't know anything in that diary..do you?.."
"Nope. Nothing. Do we have a fair deal?" I was worried that I might regret this choice of trusting him, but there's nothing I can do about it.
"What do you want me to do?..."
"I want you to play basketball."
"What?! I already suffered enough today! You can't make me go through that again!"
"You didn't even play! This is REVENGE!" Have seen you before? You remind me of someone-Oh! Darth Vader...
A word of advice: People die because of two reasons:
1) Smart asses don't plan a murder out loud.
2) Idiots say anything out loud that could kill you... He's the second one.
"No way! I'm going!"
"No! Or else I'll tell everyone about your diary!" I threw him outta my face.
"Oh! Look everybody! Mitsuru has a diary!..Oh wait...No one gives a crap!" I said sarcastically to the shit in the toilet.
"Seriously, what was the point in bribing?" Because in the end, it literally got him nowhere. Unless he actually knew a secret about me...then I'll definitely surrender. But that might his next objective, so I better shut my mouth and do as he says.
"Oh! Look, everybody! Mitsuru has a dark secret in his diary! Who wants to read it?!" He's bluffing.
"What?...I'm serious..." He smirked. "It doesn't matter if people care if I told them. But I know you would...It all depends on how you snitch about it. Or else nobody would be interested..."
At this point, I didn't know what to do...All I knew was...I had to run...Now.
1 HOUR LATER
**HASHIBA MAEHARA **
"I had to tackle him, before he got away...I grabbed him and the first thing my mind thought was to tie him up...So..Now, we're here!" TADA!
"What?...So, you blackmailed Mitsuru?.." I've spent 10 minutes of my valuable time to this athlete! And he can't process simple information!
"Yes!"
"I'm not doing anything!" Mitsuru stood beside me, and yes...He's released. AND I TRIED SO HARD!!I'LL MAKE SURE HE DOES GET AWAY!!
"NO! We're doing this!" I have to sacrifice my pride in order to force Mitsuru to play sports properly!
"Alright! Get change!"
"NEVER!" I shout out, and yes...my pride can never be sacrificed...Sorry...Hashiba...
"You make me sick..."
"Hey! Don't get it the wrong way! You just jeed to change into your sports clothes!"
"You want me to go flat out naked...?" Mitsuru had a dirty expression on his face. Repulsive!
"No! Don't you understand anything?!" The athlete is about to give up...
"No!" Mitsuru refused to show his arms or legs, even during basketball earlier today, we both wore jackets on top of our Tshirts, and wore long tracksuit bottoms. I guess we both have a reason why we want to cover our arms and legs...but what's he reason?...
"Maehara! Help me out here!" Kazumi begged for assistance.
"What can I do?"
"YOU'RE THE ONE WHO DRAGGED THIS GUY HERE FOR YOUR REVENGE!!!" Does he seriously want me to drag Mitsuru for the rest of my life?...This is hopeless..
"Let's juat basketball like this..." We were just wearing our school uniform, white full sleeved shirt and trousers.
"What?! Why?!"
"Do you really want to know?"
"Fine!" The athlete groans as he picks up the basketball.
"Here!" He throws a bomb right in my face, I try to catch it...but I miss.
"Do I seriously have to teach you guys how to catch?!" Who does this guy think he IS? "No!-" I replied back but I was interrupted by Mitsuru. "Yes!" You've got to be kidding me! I'm going to be stuck here longer than I thought! I guess my plan backfired.
****
An hour passed and the boys continued learning about the sport called...Basketball. Where you are required a basket and a ball. Get the ball into the basket and you have...BALLBASKET!! Hello again! It's the narrator here!~ Now, as they're learning, Maehara and Mitsuru are failing miserably. They learned how to dribble the ball, pass and shot...which no one succeeded.
"You guys are unbelievable! How can you be so bad?! " Now that makes a very good mentor!
"Is that a literal question?..."
"Every question to you is literal!" Maehara shouts at Mitsuru.
"Shut up!"
"You guys stink..."
"No thanks to you!"
**MEI**
I wanted to take a break by myself, and since the door to the roof is locked, I usually go to the gym and spend some time alone there. However, when I opened the door, I came upon these three stupid men, arguing how smelly they are.
"Um..." They stopped and looked at me, with sweat dripped from their forehead. It made me very uncomfortable.
"Oh it's that girl.." Oh...It's that genius... Can't believe I called him that...Because now he looks like an idiot.
"Hey! It's Mei!" I'm surprised this guy remembers my name.
"Wait..who's that?..." It's that guy that all the girls are crazy about.
"Huh? She's in the same class as us!" No surprise there.
"What?! Seriously!..Wow! I'm so sorry!" He says as he walks toward me. Which...first of all...It's creepy. .
"You're Mei, right? I'm Kazumi. ..I'm sorry we haven't introduced each other yet..." This guy's pissing me off. I stayed quiet....I don't want to introduce myself, since he already knows my name.
"Um..." It became awkward silent. But it seems like he wants to say something, go ahead...spit it out already!
"It's amazing how we haven't met yet...uh..it seems like...you don't like talking much..." No. But I can guarantee that I hate listening to speak more than talking, myself. Don't get me wrong...I do believe in freedom of speech...But I also believe in mute, pause and delete.
"Hey, you're pretty cu-" I hold my hand up, to make him halt from speaking any further. "If you have any opinions about me, then raise your hand." He raised his hand! Exactly how I ordered him to.
"Now, put it over your mouth..." He was about to do it, but he hesitated.
"Eh!-Wait!"
"Wow! Way to go!, Kazumi!...The School's most popular guy can't even call a chic CUTE!" Maehara screams ittn the background.
"It's not like you could do better!" He 'whispered'..."Besides, this girl is capable of murder, don't push it!"
"What are you talking about?... I'm are nice girl. So if I'm a bitch to you, then you need to ask yourself the reason..." I said with happy smile on my face.
"What?! I'm the reason!" Maehara started laughing harder. "Pfft! That was fast!"
"Yeah, so if you think it's ok for a man to expect a women to be an angel in his life....Then he must create a paradise for her...Angels don't live in hell..." I continued dissing and busting his d*#k.
"I don't think like that at all! I accept people for who they really are!"
"HAHAHA!!! You just got rejected!"
"Nice to meet you...." I turn my back toward and lift up my middle finger and I leave. "Oh" before I exited I popped my head out just to say one last thing. "It can't believe you didn't noticed... but the genius ran away without anyone looking...See ya!"
"WHATTT?!!!!" I'm guessing that was Maehara, and I bet he won't accept the fact that Mitsuru can get away from anything...Even murder....
**MITSURU FUKUYAMA **
Shit! My whole day was wasted. Good thing I ran away from there, but I really wanted to know what she was going to say. I'm speed walking down the hallway, I just wanna have a shower, and go straight to sleep, without any disturbances. But to my surprise,"Hey! Mitsuru!"
"Shit..." I really want to be Alone! I turn around, to see Sayuri looking at me with curious eyes.
"What do you want?..."
"Geez! Whats with you...? I just said Hi!" And now she's making a pouty face.
"Well..Hi!" I said sarcastically. She just scoffs. "Well, it seems like your satisfied, so I'll go now..." I continue to head away, but she grabs my shirt. "Hey, wait! Can't we just hang?" Hang?...
"Do you want me to hang myself?..." I said quietly as I was stuck in this position of her pulling my shirt.
"What?!"
"Just shut up and leave me alone!" I shouldn't have mentioned that, now she's going to be overly concerned.
"Wait! You're not serious are you?!" She releases me and I fall forward, landed on my knees. I close my eyes in frustration. "No...I'm just kidding..."
"Uh...Okay..." I look at her and her expression and body language tell me, that she's anxious and worried... I can tell...I can tell what she's feeling... And I appreciate that.
I want to tell her that I'm thankful but I can't the words to flow out of my mouth. So I just look at her with eyes of sincerity. "Hm..what is it?" I smiled and said,"Nothing...I'm fine.." Whether she was faking it or she didn't intentionally mean it... I don't care...I am very thankful...Thank you...
I enter my dark, cold room. It's been a whole day since I've been here...But it felt like forever. I breathed out through my mouth and closed the door. I stand in the center of the room. I walk towards my bed...I wanted to jump in and sleep...But I didn't... I bent down..and looked under the bed. I moved the suitcase to the side. And stuck my arm inside, searching the whole area, reaching for something... I found it...
I held it, in both hands.
I placed it over my head.
I looked down at it.
Staring as I fastened it tight on my neck.
I sat there.
I looked over at my desk.
On my left.
My diary just sat there, awaiting to be read.
I took it off my neck and left it on the floor. I went over to my desk and opened the book.
