Corpse Party: Wishes- Chapter 4
DISCLAIMER- I DON'T OWN CORPSE PARTY.
Mrs. Tachibana got up from the bleachers and walked towards Yoshiki's lying body.
"Ugh.. can I go to the nurse?"
"Yes, you may. Would someone like to take him to the nurse? I can't trust him alone."
Rikko looked at the students sitting at the bleachers and noticed how no one bothered to raise their hands. Everyone was just chatting amongst their selves and pointing at Ayumi and Yoshiki once in awhile when they continued to chat and gossip.
She mustered up the courage and raised her hand. "I would like to take him. Maybe I could stay with him and walk him back?"
Mrs. Tachibana looked at the tall girl. The girl did not have the aura of a trouble maker. She seemed like the typical 'girl next door', which was good enough for the teacher to let her take Yoshiki to the nurse. Of course Mrs. Tachibana would of liked Ayumi to go so she could apologize on the way, but she didn't care as much since she knew that Yoshiki's parents wouldn't sue the school for him being harmed.
"Come on Kishinuma, lets go.." Rikko spoke softly to him as if she were a mother helping a poor defenseless child.
He simply grunted and stood up. His eyes were half-lidded and he certainly looked like he was in pain. Did it hurt that bad? Did Ayumi really hit him that hard? Regardless of any of that, she actually felt bad, and she was worried what everyone would say to her. She was mostly worried about what that girl would say to Yoshiki. Ayumi watched the two of them walk out of the gym. She could see how Rikko was reaching to grab Yoshiki's hand, but she saw how she pulled her hand back due to shyness. All Ayumi could do was roll her eyes at how desperate that girl seemed.
"Ayumi, its not your fault you hit him there. I am sure you meant no harm.. it was pretty funny though."
"Isn't he your best friend though? Had I just not hurt him?"
Satoshi sighed and stared at the other students playing dodge ball. Ayumi had been forced to stay out for two rounds so she would not hurt anyone else, and Satoshi offered to stay with her so she wouldn't be lonely.
"Well, when I asked you out he got mad at me because he said he had a crush on you first. I was completely unaware of the circumstances and his feelings, so he isn't my friend anymore, and he kinda hates me. I hope he doesn't hate you or anything. You probably wouldn't of guessed him and I were on each other's shit-list, but we are. We just made a pact to not fight at school. Anywhere else is A-Okay."
Ayumi sadly nodded and took a deep breath. She couldn't help but feel guilty for them not being friends. She was unaware of his crush on her as well, and now she realized he'll probably fall for someone else, well, he has already. Probably more than 10 times. All Ayumi could do was pray that everyone would be happy now, and alive because of her wishes. Hopefully none of her other wishes will backfire once again, right?
As the two of them reached the nurse's office, Rikko let out a small exasperated sigh. She could feel herself sweating and her pace of walking was a mixture between running, and almost walking too slow like a snail. She certainly looked awkward. Her lips felt dry, her whole body felt itchy and she just wanted to scream. If only Yoshiki knew how much of an affect he was doing to her mentally, and physically. Finally opening up her mouth slowly, the words finally escaped.
"Kishinuma?"
Yoshiki simply glared at the girl and narrowed his grey eyes as he heard his name being called. "What?"
A small blush crept onto her face and she quickly got flustered. "Uh.. um, would you like to go out?" Rikko forced a small smile onto her clear face as she looked at Yoshiki. Yoshiki was only three inches taller than her, so she really didn't have to look up at him.
"Excuse me? Do you think just because you took me to the nurse's office you're someone special?"
Rikko lowered her head and mumbled. "N-..no of course not... I just have been planning to ask you out and see where it all goes."
Yoshiki continued to narrow his eyes and he scowled at her. "Stop right there. I know how its like to have a crush on someone. You're not getting me that easily. Imagine having to see the one you love with someone else every single fucking day. I don't want to see where this goes. You should only want someone because you love them. Now fuck off and leave me alone. You're not even close to anything I like."
Yoshiki had no idea why he was being so blunt and rude, he had a weird deja vu feeling, as if this had happened to him before, so all his anger just came out. Yoshiki was always like that when it came to anything. He wouldn't be cursing though. He'd just stick to the point and leave.
Rikko whimpered from his harsh words and placed her hand over her heart, expecting to feel it shatter, and all it did was pound the same rhythmic beat it always did. She honestly thought Yoshiki would be happy to just sleep with her, and bam, just like magic, he'd love her. This wasn't anything she would expect it to be. She didn't expect him to be a spectacular gentleman, she just wanted his attention.
"Bu-but all the other girls?"
".. fuck off, learn that you aren't like other girls, and I mean that in the worst way ever."
Fighting the urge to cry, she gulped down the lump in her throat and ran off down the halls, disappearing in the darkness of it. He could hear the sounds of her sobs, and he did not care at all. He pushed open the door and entered the office, being greeted by a friendly nurse.
The game was over, and everyone had 10 minutes to get changed and to have their stuff ready for their next class. Rikko sniffled some more and ran into the girls' locker room, and Mayu and Ayumi watched her as she ran into a stall, and a small click of the latch was heard.
"She's crying..?" Ayumi asked Mayu as Mayu slipped on her uwabaki slipper onto her left foot.
"Aha, Kishinuma probably rejected her."
"That doesn't make any sense though. Didn't you say he was a player or whatever?"
"Oh no he is, he's just very picky with the girls he sleeps with. Most of them aren't even from this school. They are from his old school, or from the school close by, the Byakudan Senior High School."
Ayumi shrugged, simply confused by his antics. It didn't matter to her really, it shouldn't of mattered, but regardless he shouldn't make girls cry.
"We should probably get to our next class. The school day is almost over."
"Yeah, lets go."
The two of them walked out side by side, carrying their school bags wandering through the halls. Ayumi stopped dead in her tracks. She heard a very familiar voice. Who's voice was it? Ayumi walked a bit more then she saw the brown short locks of a girl who was slightly taller than Ayumi herself.
"Nakashima?"
The girl turned around and it was indeed Naomi Nakashima. She had a black eye though, and her pure white skin was no longer clear. It was covered in cuts, bruises, and a few pimples here and there. Her left knee had a bandage. It was clearly visible due to her black socks only going to her mid calf. Ayumi was completely stunned by her classmates appearance. Why was she this way?
"Nakashima... what happened?"
Naomi lowered her head and stared at her feet. She was shaking slightly. She wanted to slap Ayumi right across her face for taking the love of her life, but that wouldn't help her heath. Perhaps her sanity it would help, but anything else? No.
"I fell."
Ayumi scoffed and crossed her arms, she knew it wasn't the truth. She couldn't really call Naomi a liar, because she knew she was dealing with depression and other problems. Everything was so topsy-turvy. So Yoshiki was a player, Mayu was trying to be edgy, and Naomi was indeed in a dark depression. Ayumi feared to see how Morishige was like. It seemed like no one really talked much about him, or even knew of him.
Naomi awkwardly stood there as Ayumi continued to ponder and go through everything in her mind. Deciding she had enough, Naomi walked off, slightly limping and gasping once in awhile from the pain. Ayumi watched her hobble off, and she then turned her gaze towards Mayu who was watching Naomi as well.
Mayu gasped as she clutched her left arm and breathed heavily. "I- I haven't seen Nakashima in awhile. She.. she looks awful. All I knew was that she was depressed. I did not expect anything like that.."
Ayumi saw the discomfort her friend had, and she gave her a friendly gesture. She opened up her arms wide and motioned Mayu to hug her, and she did so.
S/N: This is going to be a very long story. Also, the reasons why I have made the characters OOC, was because that's how they turned out because of the wish, plus I wanted to make Ayumi a bit more cruel, because I feel like she would be selfish when it would come to relationships. She is not very selfish in the manga, she is kind of rude and annoying though, but I'll make sure to have lots of character development so they don't stay annoying. I hope you all are enjoying this so far and please give me your feedback so I can improve on this.
