Chapter 10 - PEEK-A-BOO!!

Meow

"Aaaargghh!!!!"

*pant...pant...pant*

"Fuck..."

Waking up, Papi found himself at the corner of his room with some blanket around him. He was drenched and so was the blanket.

(brushing teeth in the toilet)

*brush-brush...rustle*

Sound of Papi brushing his teeth resounded through out the soundless room...

Meow

"Aaahh!!!"

*sound of sliping*

With a muffled scream and a slip, Papi stumbled hard and fall back on his back. Fortunately, his left hand was already on the basin so he was able to save himself a fall.

Hallucination was truly a terrifying thing as hearing a meow from a cat out of nowhere and seeing a cat passing by the door in the mirror had almost made Papi knock his head on the toilet bowl. With his palm brushing his face and his eyes, all he could do was sigh...

" Sigh* I'm seeing shit.."

(at school)

The night before was a nightmare for Papi... For the whole night, Papi couldn't sleep a wink as he kept on hearing the sound of a cat. It all started right after he discovered the text book with a cat skin in it, and from then, the thought of it kept on haunting him. Every time when he was close to sleeping, he would hear the sound of a cat and that spooked him up. Luckily it got better the next day...

"Heyoo~ Bugsy!"

"Ahh!!"

"Pfft, Hahahah~! Still the same as ever huh Bugsy?"

Ahh...it's just Ava and Carly...

Seeing them, Papi was about to greet them back...but that was until he was reminded of the sentences written on the page where the cat skin was found...

(Don't you have a cool hairstyle? This cat was the same...I wonder how the both of you got it though)

Being reminded of it, Papi became spooked again as his face change drastically to a slightly less horrifying Joker face. There weren't any curve on his lip and his eyes weren't as wide as they normally were but the dark circles around them made him look a different kind of vicious..

"Bugsy, are coming to the cafe with us again later~?'

"....Sorry about that, but maybe next time..."

Papi only brushed passed the girls and rejected them with a 'maybe next time'. Right after he went pass them, he took his hair band off and let down his man bun. For some reason, he felt that he had to take down the bun and stop hanging out with the girls...

"Is-Is-Isn't he kind of mean today?! What's with that cold attitude! Did he just took off his bun because we said that it looked cool?"

"Bu-But...doesn't he look cool..? He's so bad but why does he do it so well...?"

"Ye-Yea... H-He was quite cool there...wasn't he?"

To the girls, Papi seems like he was just playing hard to get and showing his dominance and attitude, making them want to be with him more...but to Papi... he was just scared. He only gave them a cold shoulder and headed to the class.

He did that because he had started to took notice that both time he had receive the notes that were written with blood was right after he hung out with the girls, so he was starting to feel wary...He needed to stay away from them from now on...

"Good morning Papi! Ehh... you don't look so good, Papi..."

"I'm fine..."

He said that and just took his seat while staring blankly at the air, not even give a greeting to Bella. He was quite late today so Harry had already went back to his seat. Bella was quick witted and saw that Papi looked tired and wanted to have some alone time, so she decided to just back off and didn't ask more.

While that was happening, Papi's head was a little chaotic. Flashes of memories were surfacing here and there. The memories of when he first found the note in his drawer to the time when he discovered the cat skin were all surfacing non stop, reminding of him of it repetitively.

Beads of sweat were slowly rolling down his skin, as his eyes robotically and frantically scanned around the class. He was thinking of the possibilities and who might the culprit be. Scanning around the class, he had only came down to three person that had the highest possibilities to be the culprit.

The three candidates were Jiro, Ichiro and Hiro. When he glanced at them, they were only doing their own thing, not caring about him. Just knowing that they weren't looking at him made him relaxed a little inside and heave a sigh of relieve.

Although he still wasn't sure if they were the culprit, but that alone had still made him a little release... Just like that, the day went by without any incident.

Papi started giving the girls a cold shoulder but that only further ignites the flames in their heart that wanted attention from him. Same goes to Bella and Harry as Papi only talk to them a little but not as much like before. Bella and Harry though were very considerate and did not pester him much as they can see that he was having a tough time...

But isn't this great? Since he start doing these, he had not received any more notes and that made him became more incline to continue on living like this, without having to worry about much. Although it meant that he wasn't able to hangout with the girls, but that was still better than receiving more notes. Then days passed while Papi had stayed the same.

Sigh...You've made a good choice, Papi. There's no need to be sad about how it is now...

While Papi was lamenting about life, someone that he had not seen or talk to for a long time appeared.

"He-Hey Bugsy!"

"...."

Bugsy was deep in thought as he sat at his seat while looking down at the table blankly, not realising that the haughty lady, Amy was calling him.

"He-Hey!! How can you just ignore me like that?! Do you know who I am-?!"

When Amy finally burst into flames after getting an attitude from Papi, he finally realised that Amy was right in front of him. So when he look up to face Amy, he was shocked to see Amy. It was not because she was going wild like a lioness but because her face were ghostly pale as if she had seen a ghost.

In actual fact, the reason Amy looked like she had just seen a ghost was because half way of chewing Papi out, she was reminded that he was the scariest person she knew. Someone that would look at her as if she was only an ant...Someone that could kill a person with only verbal abuse, and when Papi looked at her, she knew that she had pissed off the wrong person as she paled even more.

Yes... Papi had his Joker face on...urm..which one was it again? Ahh, got it! The one with dark circles beneath the eyes. Although he had been feeling better these days, occasionally, he would still hear the sound of a cat during his sleep. That was the reason he had the Joker face on as he did not had enough sleep and Amy had misinterpret it as him being mad.

"Aaahhh!! Please... stop... I'll do anything... just don't speak about my... breast..."

"Huh-?"

"Aaahh!! Please don't look at me like that! Please don't be mad!"

It looked like something had just fished a tiny piece of trauma from Amy's hidden memory compartment out from nowhere.

"Hmm? What are you talking about? I'm not mad.."

"Yo-You're not?! G-G-Great!"

Geez, what a psycho...

"So did you come here to give me money?"

"Huh? Money? No...Ahh, that reminds me. Eherm! I am here to tell you that starting from today, I would be transferring to class B..."

"..."

"..."

"So why are you telling me that? Did you need my permission to transfer or something-?"

"WH-WH-WHAAT??!! No way, I wasn't trying to ask for your permission or anything!!....Well...well if you would give me...permission to do so...it would be great too.."

"Huuuuuh..."

With a long drag of 'huh', it only further increase the time that Amy was holding her breath as she was nervous and anxious of what he would say.

*badum...badum*

"Well, sure..? Permission granted?"

"REALLY?! *whew"

She was really glad that he gave her permission to do so as she really wanted to transfer to class B. After the incident with Papi, she had been regretting not transferring to class B when she had the chance. Her boyfriend was already in class B and she would not have to worry about anything but she still didn't transfer.

To be honest, she doesn't belong to class C. Her family was one of the family in the higher echelon of the Mafia Family. She had the power of a class A but she had her reasons for not enlisting in to class A.

"Ohh, one more thing Bugsy. Since I'm going to transfer soon, i would like to advice you that you should be a little more careful."

"Hmm? Why so?"

"On the first day when I introduced you to the class, it was as if telling them that you are with me and saying that they would be dealing with me if something were to happen to you. So everyone in the class were very careful about approaching you and it might be true for the Yakagi triplets too."

"...S-So.. what you are saying is..."

"Yes, as there was an unspoken rule that a higher class, in this case, class B should not interfere with whatever happens in a lower class, class C... I wouldn't be able to do anything if someone were to find trouble with you"

Wh-What the hell is this... So the reason that I was only receiving notes and the like was because whoever the culprit is, he knew that he could not do anything to me or else he would have to deal with Amy?

"It-It's not that I am doubting your ability! I-I was only concern that these bugs might be pestering you- Hiik!"

Half way of speaking, Amy stopped and let out a 'Bella' shriek as she was spooked by the expression Papi had. This time, Papi had the 'Don't cry!' Joker face on.

'I-I knew it! I shouldn't be concern about him... But seeing his expression, I'm afraid that he might had been wanting to be pestered by these bugs...Sa-Sadist!!"

(P.E. class, in class)

Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! Why did Amy had to go and transfer at this exact moment?! Should I have said no and not give her the permission? Would she even care though?! Sh-Should I go and beg her to stay?

Papi was alone in class as he did not want to see the triplets on the field. He didn't know if it was them who wrote the notes but if it wasn't them, he was afraid that he might spark them into wanting to kill him if they were reminded of the game. Then suddenly...

"Jiro, why did you forget to take the ball again?"

"Ohh shut your trap up, Ichiro. Why don't you take responsibility for it then?"

"Tzt, tell that to Hiro, my bag is too heavy."

Is-Isn't that Jiro and Ichiro's voice...? Why are they here? Did they knew that I was in class?

*footstep*

FUUUCCKK!! They're close!! What should I do? What should I do?!

"Hmmm? Did you not close the door when you came out Hiro?"

"Why would you say that?"

"I mean, you were the last to come out and the door is left open a little...Is there..someone in the class?"

OHH GOD!! I'M FUCKED!

"Is someone having sex In the class or something? Well then... PEEK-A-BOO!!"

*slam*
