Corpse Party- Cheap and Used
Chapter Eighteen
"SOOO this is who he was planning for this whole damn time!" Ayumi stood straight, as tall as she could up against her locker as Azusa smiled at her innocently.
Azusa stepped toward Ayumi, pulling her close into her chest face first and embracing the petite girl's face tightly. Ayumi hissed in the embrace, trying to escape, when all it did was push her face deeper into Azusa's trap.
Yoshiki stepped forward. Ayumi could see from the corner of her twitching eye that he was flustered. Ayumi dipped down underneath Azusa's arms, gasping for air. The trio stood there glancing awkwardly as Ayumi huffed. Students walked by, the sounds of the heards' slippers thumping past them.
"I'm so glad to be here Ayumi-chan," Azusa winked at Ayumi before pivoting towards Yoshiki who had his arms crossed. "I'm even more happier to see you, my knight." She giggled before reaching over for Yoshiki's forearm, wrestlingq into her embrace in the most graceful manner.
Ayumi bit her lip, her eyes wavering over the two. She stubbornly kneeled down to continue to gather her months of admiration and love notes.
"Oh wow! I have the same underwear on right now too." A cute voice shouted, making Ayumi fall back. It was Ran kneeling down beside her, smiling. She began to grab at the cardboard and construction paper pastel hearts as Ayumi sat up and grabbed her cigarettes.
"You can't do things like that Ran." Azusa said as she had her arm locked around Yoshiki's. Yoshiki's face turned a deeper red. His eyes met Ayumi and he saw her scowl. He glanced away as fast as he could, yanking Azusa right with him. "L-let me show you your classes, and your schedule. You can spend lunch with me in the office." The voices trailed off, and Ayumi watched the whole way, gripping the carton of cigs in her small hand, the left over plastic crinkling.
Students continued to walk past. Anxious teachers shaking with their thermos leaking out their brewed tea. Ran lent a hand towards the scowling girl. Ayumi dusted off her skirt, the vision of the two walking down the hall embracing each other burned to the back of her brain.
"How do you even...deal with tha-"
Ran tucked a strand of her lilac hair her bunny clip failed to hold back. "I don't know how I deal with it. I just love her so much. If her chasing after him makes her happy, I support it."
Ayumi grimaced. Could she really do that? Could she wait for Yoshiki and let him be happy with someone else?
"No, I can't. Ugh! I don't even like him."
Ran reached out for Ayumi's hand. "Hey, let's walk to class together. I already know you're in my class. I went earlier to meet the teachers and I saw a desk and it said 'ayumi the homewrekker.'"
Rolling her deep blue eyes, Ayumi sighed, yoinking Ran with her to the left corridor of the school. "Okay, listen.. that was only, three times. With a teacher. He's arrested now.."
Hinoe slammed a cup down on her glass table, drawing circles in the air as she calculated. "Shit! I don't have anyway to pay this off... Kizami you're an awful boyfriend."
Kizami chuckled and took the cup, sipping slowly. "First of all, you just broke up with me yesterday." He set the cup down. "I'm only here because your little sister has my apartment keys in her bag and she's not here. I'm pretty far from awful I believe."
"Please, can't you just help me?" Hinoe begged, sitting on the table, pulling Kizami into her embrace and placing kisses all over his jaw. He groaned and rolled his eyes.
"You know I'm just as broke as you. I didn't even go to class today because of you! I literally quit my job for you too."
"You only quit because you wanted your dick sucked every morning before your shit literature class." Hinoe smirked against his throat. She planted more kisses down and he pulled away.
"You know your sister is hot, right? Why haven't you set her up for compensated dating for some money." He inquired as he leaned in to give Hinoe a deep kiss.
"Compensated dating is weird. If Ayumi got kidnapped by some old man, I wouldn't want to deal with it. Plus the morals of something like that, age gap and all."
"Well aren't you almost 25 sleeping with a barely 18 year old?" Kizami chuckled, running a hand through his hair as he leaned against the shining glass table beside Hinoe.
Hinoe went wide -eyed, face flushed. "Whatever. How about this. You collect 50000 yen by the end of this week, and I'll let you have her. Do whatever. Take her on dates, whatever. I'm sure she thinks you're cute. She has no taste so it makes sense. You aren't even a good boyfriend."
Kizami scoffed, standing up and grabbing Hinoe's hair, guiding her face to his. "You broke up with me anway." He smiled before pushing her down onto the table and undoing his pants, getting back to his work.
"Oh my goodness..! Is that Shinozaki! Everyone let's clap, let's clap because she finally remembered where her DAMN class is!"
The whole class turned in their seats, chairs squeaking, wood shifting. A soft cough broke the silence of the class.
Ayumi groaned, dropping her head to the desk. "God..."
"Anyways class, we have a new student. A transfer student. Please introduce yourself."
Ran made a dramatic turn, facing the class, smiling. Ayumi lifted her head up, seeing the sea of students glaring at Ran, some picking at their hands or looking at their phones underneath the desk. The soft glow of the screens hardly noticiable in the direct sunlight of the window. The glare off car windows shown brightly into Ayumi's face. She smushed her face back down into the solid wood.
"HI! Okay so hi, I'm Ran. You can just call me that, I don't like formalities all that much. I came from that one all girls' school. I really like bunnies and I hope to be a good wife one day." She bowed, gleefully popping up and clasping her hands together.
"Miss Koybayashi, would you please sit at desk-"
"I'll just sit with Ayumi if thats okay!" Ran waltzed towards Ayumi, patting her head. Ayumi looked up through her arms.
"Uh.. anyways class, let's start with article 12. Explain to me the importance of being able to have different view points in a subjective article."
The bell rang for the next class, everyone stood up in unison. Girls tripping over chairs in an effort to grab their school bags. The sound of feet echoing and slapping against the floor of the halls caused Ayumi to wake up. Raising her head up with half-lidded eyes, a pencil that stuck to her cheek fell off, rolling to the streaky edge of the desk.
"huh.. wha..." She blinked her blue eyes twice, the world blurring like creamer being mixed with dark coffee. It all wasn't there until it was; it being a very curious Morishige glaring through rounded glasses. "H...hey. Sorry to bother you. I know I bothered you once about Suzumoto but.. you're friends with Kobayashi? Tell me about her." He didn't skip a beat in his words.
Ayumi rolled her eyes and graoned. She clumsily rubbed and picked at her eyelashes, letting the sleep from her eyes drop.
She could tell this boy's hands were already clammy. "First of all. I don't remember what happened with Mayu. And Ran is off-limits. She is.. in love with someone else.
Morishige nodded, pulling a chair up to Ayumi's, bumping into her hard causing her to flail backward.
"Tell me more."
"Dude can you go to class or something-" He shook his head. "I have this class double block. And I know you don't go to class because you go to the theater room at this time to make out with Rito."
Morishige leaned in deeper, resting his chin in the palm of his hand. "So what is her type. Does she like athletic guys.. nerdy guys. Tell me is she into Shakespeare."
Ayumi raised a brow and chuckled, leaning back into her seat. Another bell rang, indicating the passing period to get to your next class was done. Only around 11 other students came in and sat at random seats, either reading, talking, or playing games on their phones'.
"Morishige, truly just.. listen to me. She's not fucking interested. She's so grossly disgustingly in love with someone else. I don't wanna see a little loser like you get hurt." Ayumi grimaced. Since when did she care?
Morishige fiddled with his lead pencil before reaching up to unbutton the collar of his uniform jacket. "Listen, I've never seen someone so joyful. Mayu isn't like that. Not to offend you under any circumstance but, your whole group really... as you would say, fucked her up. I miss her coming to me in the morning, saying 'good morning shig-nii' and bringing me chopped fruit in a container. We'd sit underneath the bench in the backyard of the school and share it."
Ayumi's eyebrows furrowed. 'Gah.. why is everyone so disgustingly in love! Couldn't ever be me...'
"Ran, off limits as I have already fuckin' said. If you really want.. I'll try to work things out with you and Mayu. To my defense, when her and I became friends she never really talked about you. Actually, I never paid attention to her. But now she's fucking greasy-haired Alan. So what can we really do? He's kinda really good at ea—"
Morishige raises a hand up, eyebrows furrowed and a grimace on his face. "Let's stop right there please. I don't want to think of my Mayu doing indecent things."
"Okay weirdo, that's only cause you wish it was with you instead." Ayumi giggled to herself.
"Hey hey! Also, one condition. Do my homework for the rest of the semester. If I get Mayu to fuck you you have to do my homework the rest of the year."
Morishige frowned, a blush tainting his complexion. "That's indecent. That's wrong. That's wrong to make a deal but, yes. If we progress in good ways I will do you work." The two high fived, smiling.
"Wait holy shit.. where did Ran go?"
A/N: I'm back. I'm just lazyyyy ! There is no excuse really but, I plan on making this story really long still, so I'm adding in some 'filler' with other characters for more development etc etc. I try my best to reread my old stuff, but nonetheless I forget things with my lil peanut brain. Sorry for any inconsistencies, and thank you to everyone who still bothers to check my shit ! 3
