Rio placed the tape on her small poem. She looked back on the locker to make sure she had the right number.
Number 96.
Yes, this is diffidently it, Rio assured herself. It's right next to Kotori's locker, 97. The fourth locker down from the end.
Rio took a deep breath. She wasn't entirely sure what she was doing right now. She hated this guy. He was obnoxious, crazy even. He's been insulting, rude, and accusing. Then he'll turn around and expect everything to be okay! But if anyone would jokingly insult him, he'd take immediate offense and deny the joke with comical rage.
At the same time, Rio pitied this boy. He was mentally unstable. It wasn't his fault that he made some of these actions. He's been feeling awful lately. It was obvious who was to blame for the boy's misery, but it was mainly the boy's own mind that has caused him this pain. He was too sensitive.
Still, the boy seemed to be coming down to some kind of depression. Rio wasn't too concerned with the boy committing suicide considering earlier in the year he mocked those who have done that. This was all for safety. Right? The boy would never commit suicide, but Rio was fairly convinced he'd be the kid to initiate a school shooting and the people she's closest to would be the first to go.
This was all for protection. Even though Rio did not want to be friends with this boy, she didn't want him to suffer (too much).
Rio began to slide the note into the top of the locker. The tape needed to stick in such a way for the note to be seen and so the tape wasn't visible to any passerby.
Suddenly, the creak of an opening door flew through Rio's ears. She let go of the note and walked off. It looked like she had been walking the whole time.
The mission was a success. The note was in the locker. Tomorrow would hopefully be interesting.
The boy considered himself one of Rio's friends. They were at one point, but they have barely spoken since February. The last time they had a proper conversation was today actually. He wanted to know when his "eviction from the lunch table" would end. However, they haven't had a conversation that lasted longer than that one since early February, before he had hidden a note for Rio in her purse.
How ironic, Rio thought. I find it cowardly for him to have asked me out with a note, but here I am leaving notes in his locker. She shook away the thought. No, I'm not winning his heart. It's just something to boost his confidence. Besides, if I wanted him to know it was me I would've put my name.
Rio glanced over her shoulder. Whoever opened the door was gone now, so Rio stopped and looked back.
I'm doing the right thing. We may no longer be friends, but the Ice Queen will be. Rio sarcastically chuckled at that thought. You better bring this up tomorrow.

A/N: I probably shouldn't be starting this story, but I think this will be interesting.
This is going to be based off of current events in my life. I do have a former friend (in my mind. I'm still the boy's friend in his mind) who has a mental disorder that seems to have gotten worse since I rejected him in February of this year.
This story will update depending on when I get information. If nothing happens, I'll continue this when I'm done one of my stories.
I didn't give the boy in this story a name for a reason. I'm not sure whether or not to make him a fan character or use one of the characters we all know. The reason I may use a fan character is because I need the boy to act like the boy I know, and the boy I know is nothing like any of the Yugioh Zexal boys. I don't know how much I can alter someone's personality that drastically without making them completely OOC. That's the only reason I may use a fan character.
Another difference between having a fan character and one of the Zexal boys would be for fan characters in the minor cast. If there is a fan character in the main cast, I'll either be fine with adding a few (two at most) in the minor cast or think one is enough and I can say something similar if I was to use one of the Zexal boys.
I'm going to have a poll on my page on what you guys think about a fan character or one of the Zexal boys being put in this story. Tell me what you think in the reviews too! (And I'll answer any questions you guys have!)
Another note, this story has nothing to do with the numbers. I have the lockers numbered because that's the actual locker number of the boy I know and my friend's locker is right next to his. Also, my alias on the note isn't the same as Rio's. I'm using my penname (abbreviated C.I.) on the note, but I didn't want to use the name you guys know me as in the story.
I hope you all enjoyed!
