Chapter 4

Coming to school this morning wasn't as easy as it was every other day. My head was spinning with confusing and pain…I felt like just staying home instead of going to school. I didn't know at the time on what brought to show up, but sometimes I wonder if things woulda turned out differently.

I somehow made it in to class on time without realizing the time. I felt like I didn't even know where I was to begin with. I was totally not there in my head. Most of the day, my head was on my desk, resting, relaxing…I felt like standing up to leave would just make it worse.

Remembering the events of last night was hard. I knew I wasn't drunk, but I had a hard time remembering how I got home…All I remember was going to the store buying food, and then I ended up at home…

"Amu…?"

I felt like drifting into sleep…I just wanted to feel easy in my heart instead of this heavy weight…

"Amu!"

I suddenly flinched and sat up straight fast, thinking I was in trouble for falling asleep. I looked over to see who called me turning my head. It was Kumo-chan calling me while she sat in front of me.

"Kumo-chan?"

She smiled.

"Finally, you're awake!" she sighed in relieve.

I glared at her.

"Shit…I thought you were the teacher for a moment...You really scared me!" I put my head back on the desk trying to breathe properly.

"Gomen Amu-chan…" she said with a stupid cute voice with her useless puppy eyes.

"What did you what? Since you desperately woke me up." trying to get to the point.

"Oh right! I was wondering if you're still okay."

Oh shit. I couldn't hide it…I panicked.

"Umm….I'm just feeling….a little sick…" I answered.

She didn't look satisfied with my answer at all. She made an impression on her face like she was upset, but worried…

"I don't mean that. I meant about what happened last night."

I pondered about for a moment. And I replied with a nod.

"I….don't remember…" I really tried, but I couldn't remember anything about last night.

"Are you sure?" she asked again. I nodded.

"Hmm…Can I speak to you alone for a moment?" she asked tugging the sleeve of my shirt. I nodded.

We walked out of the classroom and stood outside of the room. I felt a little nervous. I felt like there was something missing that Kumo-chan knows about…I was in trouble for sure…She took a big sigh.

"Amu-chan…I understand that you didn't wanna say it in class. But I want to be sure that what happened last night really happened. So I ask you again, are you REALLY okay?"

I was dumbfounded…I couldn't understand what she was talking about…I tried and tried to remember, but nothing came up. But I could tell that there was a missing piece that somehow was forgotten…Unfortunately, I didn`t have much of an answer for Kumo-chan. So I went with something simple…

"I…don't remember…" I replied.

Suddenly, I could see her face turn from calm, to angry.

"ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME…?" she snapped.

I think my heart skipped a beat at that moment…I didn't understand why she would be angry with me at all...`

"…I called you last night because I heard from Tadase that you looked like you got raped! I was super worried! Don't tell me you forgot all that?"

Nothing like that ever happened, on my side of the story anyway…

Raped…? Me…? I thought.

Though, before I could say anything else, the bell rang for last period. I was thankful for that bell for giving me a chance to breathe. As I sat back to my seat, I got a quick text from Kumo-chan.

"We`ll continue r talk laterz afterschool. Make sure 2 meet me the front gate of the school."

I closed my phone a sighed…I didn`t know to expect, but I was sure she was gonna interrogate me until I spoke clearly about last night. As I put my phone away in my schoolbag, I noticed Ikuto-kun-after all this time-sitting next to me.

Shit…I didn`t even notice he was there! I can't believe how rude I am! I panicked.

But he didn't seem normal for some reason…I noticed his hands were clenched into fists, like he was in pain or angry…I wanted to ask him if he was okay, but I didn't wanna get in trouble during class. That was the last thing I needed.

The bell finally rang for us to leave school and go home, and my stomach was aching like you wouldn't believe…The nerves from before, talking with Kumo-chan, made me feel sick…My insides felt twisted, I just wanted to go straight home. But I knew Kumo-chan was gonna be waiting and there was no way to avoid her…

I had a hard time trying to get outta my seat in class, and because of that, I was one of the last people in class. Kumo-chan already left at least. I started getting myself ready, when I noticed that Ikuto-kun was still here…And he was staring at me.

"Y-Yes…Tsukiyomi-kun…?" I felt nervous with his ice-cold eyes staring me.

I thought maybe I had something on my face, or my hair was messed up…

"Come with me." He replied straightforwardly.

"Huh…?" I looked at him confused.

He took out his hand and grabbed my arm and pulled me outta class swift fully. Before I knew it, we were in the gym.
