Chapter 3 - Toy

Walking out the bathroom, I bumped into a girl in the school hallway. She falls to the ground, so i bend down and pulled her up.

Its actually Harley she looks kinda stressed out today as well.

I scrached the back of my head.

"Sorry, didn't saw you there"

"Um yes, sorry "Harley said

She walk pass me absent mindedly and was about to go in the boys bathroom.

"Hey Harley!" I yelled.

Harley stop from his tracks and stared at me.

"Thats the boys bathroom, the girls is in the opposite side" i said.

I point my hand to the left where the girls bathroom was located.

"Um..." she look up, "ah yes...silly me" she smiled weakly, before walking back towards me

"Er... does something the matter?" I asked

Harley smiled.

"No everything is fine"

She then continued to the girls bathroom.

She's the cheery girl in our class right? She doesn't seems like herself at all.Well not my job.

Forgetting what i saw, i continued to the cafeteria. but Anastasia was already waiting for me nearby, she didn't allowed me to buy anything before dragging me to the courtyard.

She pulled out a blue lunch box and handed it to me.

"You know, you don't need to worry about my lunch, i can pay on my own" I told her.

"Do you think, i would let you and your precious gruel be together every lunch time!?" She snapped back.

She shove the the lunch box next to me.

I sigh.

"Hey, I'm not complaining or anything, but i kinda hate depending on someone."

She didn't answer me instead she open the lunch box and presented in front of me.

Ohh, looky looky a chicken breast, veggies and mushrooms with names unknown to me.

"Eat!" She said sternly.

I gave her a salute jokingly.

"YES MA'AM!"

Finishing our meal i tried talking to her.

She almost unresponsive, she doesn't show me any emotions except for anger or coldness.

The way we talk... is like im a stranger to her. I tried to make her laugh or just even crack a small smile, but I'm unsuccessful.

I don't know anymore.

Its been two days since Anastasia decided to date me, but she didn't said why she accepted me.

There are hundreds of guys, more handsome, richer, or better than me in general. but she still rejected them all.

I sigh.

Well, i guess there no reason not to ask.

"Miss Anastasia, Im still curious why you dated me, can you tell me the reason?"

She grabbed a tissue and cleaned her face. before looking at me.

"I just felt like it." she answered me.

"That's it?"

Anastasia just turned her head to the distance.

Her answer made me uncomfortable.There must be a reason rigth?

Hell, I will not settle with that answer little lady.

"Miss Anastasia. Listen here, I might be not be a smart guy, but I'm not dumb, what's the point of us dating when you can't even tell me the truth." i said raising my voice.

She turned her head towards me and sigh.

"You aren't as shallow as i think you are, Mr Yuri. Alright I'll tell you why, I'm tired of being bothered by men so i dated you to keep those pest away."

After hearing her word i can't stop myself from feeling anger and sorrow.

So, this is what heart break feels like.

I look up and take a deep breath.

I'm the idiot, for thinking that a beautiful woman like her would give me a chance. I guess this delusion must end once and for all.

I turn around stared at her directly in the eyes.

"You should have rejected me the first time we talked. Do you think it's funny to play with people heart?.... Ah , wait... i guess you don't have a heart."

I laughed weakly, before standing up.

"Wait... I'm thinking of paying you as my fake boyfriend Mr Yuri, you have proven that you can do the job."

Her offer is something that i can't swallow.

I just stand up and gave her one last glance before walking away.

she reach out my hands.

"Mr Yuri-"

I flick her hands away easily.

"Don't think all men would just blindly follow your wishes, just because your a little cute. I don't care what you say or do from now on, just don't bother me anymore."

Saying my piece i walk away never looking back.

~*~*~*~*~Self Improvement club.

I feel like shit, but i didn't let my club mates see that. So i tried to act like normal like i always do.

Its a good that my club activity always make me forget about the bad things in life.

"Run like your being chased by the scariest thing in the world" Jack yelled, as we jog around the campus.

"Your our newest member Mike what is the scariest thing in the world to you?" Jack asked.

Mike is almost out of breath, he's only running with all the will power he had left. but after hearing the captain's question he adjust he's glasses.

"..huu.....haaa...Girls" he answered as he struggled to catch his breath.

"Er...Alright Mike, run like your being chased by girls and they're ready to ravage you if you fall behind" Jack yelled.

A few minutes later.

"Sorry captain it looks like its the end of me, go on without me" Mike suddenly collapsed on the ground.

"Mike!!!" The captain yelled.

"Mike you bastard!!!" Bruno yelled.

"Get up Mike don't let those girls ravage you!" Garry yelled.

I grabbed Mike and run forward.

"No one is left behind!" I yelled.

"Drop me Yuri I'll only dragged you down with me" Mike said weakly.

"Shut up bastard just hold on we won't let you die." i yelled.

"Just let go of me Yuri!!!" Mike yelled.

"No!"

He smiled back at me and whispered.

"It's alrigth...."

Mike forced his hand free and ultimately falls to the ground.

"Mike Noooooo!!!" I yelled.

*The girls watching from afar.*

"What are those idiots from the self-improvement clubs doing?" Girl1.

"Um...Being idiots?" Girl2.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~ After the club activity.

The members of the self-improvement has already gone home as for me I'm feeling a little angry so i decided to let off more steam for atleast 20 minutes more.

When i was about to walk out of the school i saw Harley again, she's walking towards the principals office

Its already 5:30 what will she do there. and as she walk inside, i saw the same terrified expression written in her face.

Its very strange, if i say so myself.

So as a very curious fellow, i decided to investigate, i run at the back of the school and climbed a tree near the principals office.

Climbing slowly i found myself staring at the gap of a close curtain.

The balding principal was just talking to her... as she sit next to him. he must be counciling her or something.

See Yuri your just overthinking things... whaaaaaat a minute, why is the principals hand going to her legs?

I climbed closer the wall.

"I can take your scholarship if i wanted too you know, i can also expell you if i wanted, and if you wanted to get help from the police no one will take your report, after all this school also controls the police department. so don't try to anything that you migth regret"

Hell, this is clearly a blackmail, never have thought that this kind of people exist.

Worst of all i can't even call the police? What should i do?

Climbing down and started to think of a sollution.

I guess I'll beat the bastard to pulp then threaten him, there's nothing a good beating can't solve after all.

But i don't want to be known. i started to look around.

A chicken head mask in a nearby waste disposal was drawn to sigth.

~*~*~*~*~

"Just this once, no one has to know" the principal said.

Harley tear up as she slowly unbuttoned her uniform revealing her two twin peak covered by a fabric called bra.

The principal started to breathe heavily as he slowly reach toward melons.

*crack*

The glass window suddenly shattered
