(DISCLAIMER: I don't know how I feel about this chapter, but I took a shot in the dark, made this, said YOLO and hit submit. Is this a good chapter for being 3 months late? I don't know, you decide. But what's written down, bad or not, is written down. Enjoy, as the kids would say, 'Shit went from 0 - 100 really quick…')
Well, at least I don't feel like shit anymore.
Ok, well I slightly do, but it isn't as bad as yesterday.
Waking up this morning felt more like a chore than it already did. My body feels slightly heavy, my hearing feels like it's boxxed in, and colors that I see don't match what I know. It's like there's this light blue filter on my eyes.
Other than that, I guess nothing really feels too different from normal.
As I almost went to the bathroom to go and make myself some breakfast, I popped back and opened the mirror cupboard to grab a mask.
I'm still technically sick, and as much as I want to not wear a mask and spread my sickness around like I'm fucking Corona, I'm not that much of an asshole to do that.
Made breakfast, nothing happened aside from the oil on the pan fucking burning my finger. Stung like hell.
With my breakfast eaten and my pills taken, I stepped out of the house to go school.
"Hey Jun…" Sayori said tiredly as she sniffled a little, "I think you might've gotten me a little sick"
"Karma." I said as I put my mouth mask on.
"But what did I do?" She complained.
"I don't have to explain it if you don't already know." I said as I walked to school.
"Ughh… so mean!" she groaned as she followed after me.
"Besides, it's your own fault for sleeping on my bed, and on my pillow." I said as we continued to walk.
"But your bed is comfy! It reminds me of the times when we used to have sleepovers!" Sayori said as she began to remember our sleepovers from when we were like, 9-10 years old.
Every time she came over to sleep over with me and Hideo, Hideo would always tempt her with watching a scary movie.
Sayori, being Sayori, was curious about the movie and would watch it, only to get scared 30 minutes into the movie.
I snickered to myself for a moment as I remembered something pretty funny from that time.
Sayori looked at me curiously, "What's so funny?" she asked.
"Remember the time Hideo brought the movie the Grudge? We only watched 40 minutes into the movie and you were so scared that you-" I was instantly shutted up as Sayori held her hand tightly over my mou-, er mask.
"We will not discuss what happened that fateful day." Sayori said as she had the most yandere look she's ever given me.
She peed herself.
The movie got to her so bad that she peed herself and almost cried.
It was a little funny at first but me and Hideki started to help her to the bathroom without our parents knowing. When her Parents, on the other hand, asked about it, we just told them that she accidentally spilled water on herself when I scared her.
To this day, whenever me and Hideki brought this up she'd either ignore us or use the same excuse as back then, 'Jun scared me and made me spill my water.'
"Hmmm, I wonder if we should have another sleepover for old times sake, but this time with scary games…" I said menacingly to Sayori.
Outlast I and II, Resident Evil 7, FNAF (even though it starts to get more rage inducing than scary), GTFO, oh man I think I'm starting to become a slight Sadist…
(I've played GTFO with some friends and it's a really good game with a damn near perfect atmosphere for horror. I really recommend it, early access though.)
Sayori looked at me with this strange look as I said this, "Are you trying to kill me? I've seen the games you and Hideki played. Nope, no thank you."
"Don't worry, after an hour or two, you'll get used to them." I said nonchalantly, ignoring most of what Sayori said.
"But I guess I'd wanna have another sleepover, no scary games or movies, but just a normal one…" Sayori said while putting a little bit more emphasis on the scary games/movies.
"Someday we'll probably have one." I said, "Not sure when, but one day."
"Yeah. Oh! You think we'd be able to get the Literature Club members to join us?" Sayori said with her eyes sparkling.
Literature Club members huh…
"I'm not too sure about that, I mean half the members don't really like me. Not to mention that it'd be really awkward to be the only boy…" I said while trying to hide my hate to most of the members.
Sayori blushed a bit when she probably imagined how the sleepover would look like, "Y-yeah! You're uh..probably right...It would be awkward…"
With that awkward conversation followed awkward silence up until we got to the school.
Then the real Hell began…
Monika, along with Bitch surprisingly, were waiting in front of the school gates probably waiting for me and Sayori to get here.
"Good Morning Sayori, Good Morning Jun." Monika said with her signature, but fake as fuck, smile.
"Morning Sayori!...Oh...hey." Bitch said with her voice a bit raspy as she gave me and Sayori a normal good morning.
"Good Morning Monika, Good Morning Rika." Sayori greeted back.
"Sayori are you okay? You sound sick again." Monika asked.
"Karma happened to her." I added as I took a step back from getting hit in the stomach by Sayori.
"I see. Well you know what they say; What comes around, goes around." Monika said as she started to walk up to me and hold out her bag.
I looked at it strangely, "As much as you guys treat me like one, I'm not a servant you know?"
"Ah, but you are today Jun! Don't you remember the bet you lost yesterday?" Monika said as she grinned at me innocently.
Fuck.
FUCK!
Now I remember!
Goddammit!
God my fucking sickness is fucking up my memories! I forgot about our agreement!
I sighed heavily as I grabbed her bag and slung it over my shoulder.
Sayori looked confused for a moment before she too remembered what Monika said yesterday, "Oh yeah! You lost a bet yesterday and now you're Monika's servant!"
Bitch looked at me with a disgusted face, "Ugh. I don't know if I should feel sorry or realise if this is your fetish…"
"It's not a fetish." I said as I glared at Bitch.
"Aw, Well that's too bad! Cause I don't feel sorry for you!" Bitch said happily as she mocked me.
"Oh but, if this was the other way around I'd make sure to tell the school that you're an abusive Boyfriend so…" Bitch said as he tone took a 180.
Her name will always fit her attitude, just a complete Bitch.
"Uh huh, sure. Keep saying that, won't get Monika in bed with you any faster." I retorted back.
Bitch began to blush madly when I said that, "T-t-t-t-that has n-n-nothing to do with Monika!"
"I'm going to have to agree with Rika here. While I do support same gender relationships, I'm afraid I don't swing that way." Monika said with a slight smile.
All of the color in Bitch's face got drained when Monika said that. Instead of being the flustered mess she was when I told that to her, she soon became a pale and bland.
"Oh...ok." Bitch said as if she lost her purpose in life, "I'm gonna go to class. See you at Lunch…" Bitch began to walk slowly to the school while dragging her feet.
God she's so overdramatic…
"Hmmm, well I guess we should also follow suit. Class is going to start soon." Monika said as she began to walk in the building, "Come on Jun, my class is on the other side of the building. Better hurry up before you're late!"
"Sigh, pick on a sickly man will ya…" I mumbled to myself as I walked after her, "I'll see you in lunch Sayori. Sayori?"
Sayori looked a bit lost in space as she watched me follow after Monika. She seemed to have snapped out of it though when I called out to her, "H-huh? O-oh, yeah. See you at lunch."
Sayori hurried to her class as she headed inside the building.
"Come on Jun!" Monika called out to me.
I walked faster as I followed Monika.
"Something wrong with Sayori?" She asked.
"Don't worry about it." I said as I tried to put some distance between me and her.
"Oh come on, just because I don't care for the Literature Club's goal doesn't mean I don't care about the members. It'd surprise you how much I care about them." Monika said, probably trying to convince me.
"Right." I said, ignoring most of what she said.
While I was able to ignore the things Monika was saying, I wasn't able to ignore the stares that the students were giving me.
Oh boy, isn't this a familiar feeling…
It wasn't even 10 minutes into the school day and people were already sneering at me.
"A lot of negativity is coming from everyone, does this usually happen to you?" Monika whispered behind me with both hands on my shoulders.
I shrugged her hands off, "Probably, I mean there is a Someone walking pretty closely to a No One."
"Oh come on, Don't be so negative." Monika said playfully, "Besides, I think it's pretty amusing."
"Ha! Looking at someone getting belittled by everyone is amusing to you? Man, even I don't know if that counts as being a Major Sadist or a Bitch." I said chuckling to myself.
"My oh my Jun, I never knew you could be such a hypocrite…" Monika teased.
"Hey now, I don't single out and belittle people, I group them together and belittle them all. Assholes have standards too you know? I'm all about Equality." I said explaining myself.
Monika chuckled to herself for a bit when she heard me, "Oh Jun, you're jokes are really funny."
I really wish I was joking…
Monika stopped in front of me next to a music room, "This is my first class. I'll make sure to come pick you up before lunch."
"Sure, just know that I'll probably go to the bathroom 5 minutes before lunch and stay there." I said as I left and headed to my first class, halfway across the school.
Looking at the time, it was already 3-4 minutes before classes were about to start. I mean I was probably gonna be late regardless of whether or not I rushed to class, so I just took my time to stroll down to class.
When I got to my class, I didn't try to sneak in as I usually would since I already had a good enough excuse (Which was my sickness.)
"Oh, Nishimura, you're a bit tardy. Mind explaining why?" The teacher said as he brought the lesson to a halt.
God I hate teachers like this, don't make such a big deal about 1 student being tardy…
"Sorry sir, some of my sickness was getting the better of me. Had to go to the bathroom." I said as I faked my tone.
"If you're not feeling well, then you should've stayed home. The Staff would rather have you rest up and not force yourself to come here." the teacher said as he was about to continue teaching.
Translation; Don't come to school if you don't feel good, I don't want any of us to catch your sickness.
"Don't worry about me, I just needed some water. I'm fine now." I said as I headed to my seat.
The Teacher continued to teach his lesson to the class as I got to my seat.
My classmates being the assholes that most of them are, leaned away from me when I walked past them and some slightly moved their desks away from mine when I sat down.
Assholes…
I would've loved to say that the rest of the classes went on like normal, but sadly that wasn't the case.
Rumors, rumors, rumors…
Man I do I enjoy them, especially when the rumors are back on the subject of me and Monika going out.
Last time people spread rumors about me and Monika, most of them were half-assed and died off quickly…
...but not these ones…
This time people are actually starting to believe them since they saw us walk together to her class.
I even heard a couple of them saying that they had photos of Monika clinging close to me in the morning.
Great, now they have photo's out of context.
Instead of making class go by quickly, these rumors made the school day much longer than it needed to be. That or the sickness is just fucking with my sense of time.
By the time it was lunch time I was already out of willpower to actually try and pay attention to class (Even thought I don't pay attention half the time...)
Not to mention that I was feeling like I was dying on the inside from starvation, but that's nothing new.
I stood up from my seat and grabbed my bag as I headed to the door, and some of the students in the class glanced and watched me. They were probably wondering if I was gonna see Monika or something.
Fucking Vultures…
Before I was able to open the door, someone else from the other side did before me.
It was a group of 3 people who looked a year older than me. 2 Dudes and a girl.
One of the guys had his hair styled like a bad Jackie Chan and while the other had the stereotypical douchebag haircut where the sides were cut normally and the top of his head was all flowey and shit, almost like your generic k-pop idol. The girl was a redhead with a ponytail and some blonde highlights, she sort of reminded me of Bitch back in her Attention Whore days.
They walked past me as they went to go and talk to a couple of girls in my class.
Didn't even say 'Excuse me'. Assholes…
I walked out of the class to head towards the roof and eat my lunch.
While I walked there, there were a couple of people looking at me, some with confused glances, some people snickering, and a lot of them with unimpressed looks.
God, if this was gonna be my life for the next week, it's really gonna suck…
"Is that him? He doesn't look like a lot…" A faint voice from behind me said, sounded like a girl.
"Hey!" Another voice came from behind me, this time it was louder and a dude.
I ignored it, mostly because people don't normally call out to me (Loner Lyfe Boi's!), but I wasn't able to ignore what happened next cause some assclown took my bag and tossed on the ground.
"Hard to ignore me when your shit's on the ground." The dude said, it was the same dude with the k-pop hairstyle that went in my class.
"The hell's your problem dude?" I asked him as I was about to pick my bag up. His sidekick asshole of a friend kicked my bag away as he had this shitstain of a grin on his face, "Oops." the shitstain friend said.
"Bullying the sickly huh? Man you guys really don't have lives don't you…" I said as I now confronted them.
"Who fucking cares. Are you Jun Nishimura?" K-pop asshole said.
"Sorry, you got the wrong guy, My name's Tsukiyo Nakano." I said as I acted all innocently.
I'm not sure if they were able to see my smirk from inside my mask, but Shitstain over there looked like he was about to go full roid-rage.
"Cut the bullshit, I know you're dating Monika." K-pop said as he held back Shitstain.
"What, you guys really gonna believe some stupid rumors? Come on, you look a year older than me, you should be using some common sen-" I wasn't able to finish my sentence as k-pop punch me before I could finish.
Everyone around me was getting hyped saying 'Oooooh!' as I hit the ground, some even pulled out their phones and started recording.
"Come on you look a year younger than me! You should've been able to take that punch!" Shitstain said as he mocked me.
I got up slowly and took off my mask to wipe away the blood coming from my nose.
"Interrupting me when I didn't even finish my sentence, pretty rude you know?." I said while chuckling a bit to myself.
K-pop grabbed my shirt and dragged me on close, "You think you're some kind of fucking comedian?"
"Probably, but I'm a pretty shitty one though..." I said as I started to laugh in his face.
K-pop smacked his gums as he let go of me and started to head the other direction, "Just stay away from Monika asshole."
Everyone started to go back to what they were doing when he was about to leave, and I probably should've headed to the nurses office while I still could…
But...knowing me…
I just couldn't keep my damn mouth shut...
"What are you, some kind of angry Ex? Mad that Monika moved on from you? You're insecurities showing pal, do a better job at hiding it!" I said, antagonizing him more.
Now K-pop looked like he was about to pull a roid-rage as he stomped over to me, grabbed onto my shirt and slammed my back against the wall.
"What the hell do you know!?" K-pop said angrily, "You don't know shit about me!"
It was my turn to have this shitstain grin, "Oh trust me, I already know enough."
Look, I know this is a bad situation, even for me, but this is just too fun not to take advantage of!
"But just from that, tell me: How did it feel to have Monika break things off from you? I bet it really sucked for you!" I said, "And now she's with a no one like me. If she didn't like an asshole like you, what does that say if she was willing to go out with a nobody like me?"
I could almost see veins popping out of this guy's neck as I antagonized him even further.
"JUN!" A voice from the crowd shouted.
Most of the crowd looked over to where the voice came from and made way for her, it was Sayori.
"What are you doing to him?! Let him go!" Sayori said as she tried to get to me.
"Whoa there, who's this?" Shitstain said as he got behind her and held her hands back.
"OMG, is this his girl? Bro you two-timing piece of shit!" the redhead said as she finally spoke up and started to laugh, "Seriously, you got Monika and you seriously downgraded to this bitch?!"
It was at this time where I now started to fight back, "Hey, let her go!" I shouted at shitstain.
"Hold on, you still have me to deal with!" K-pop said as he kneed me in the stomach.
"Jun!" Sayori shouted in horror.
"Come on, where's all that tough talk from before Mr. Comedian?" K-pop said as he dropped me and started to kick me.
"Stop it!" Sayori said as it sounded like she was about to cry.
Ugh…
I never thought it'd end up like this…
Been a while since I got my ass kicked.
What sucks is that Sayori had to get dragged into this mess…
I really have to apologise to her later on…
"Hey don't you care for your side-bitch? She's gonna get hurt you know!" K-pop said to me.
I slowly opened my eyes from the pain and saw Sayori getting pushed down while she had most of what was in her bag dumped on top of her.
K-pop stepped away from me and started to kick most of Sayori's books, notebooks and papers that she had in her bag.
I slowly got up from where I was, "Hey….you bastards!" I angrily said.
"Ow! Stop!" Sayori said as she winced in pain.
"Stop being so weak, I barely touch-" Shitstain got interrupted as he recoiled to the side from getting smack upside the head from a hardcover textbook.
A textbook that I hit him with.
And trust me, I put a lot of goddamn force into it!
"Oh? Did you final-" K-pop didn't have a chance to finish his sentence since I punched him straight in the throat. K-pop staggered back pretty far as he was struggling to breathe.
At this point, I think I lost any kind of reasoning when they hurted Sayori.
"You fucking-!" Shitstain tried to get me into a headlock from behind as he tried to pull me back. I managed to break out of it and punch him once in the face, another at his right eye, and I sort of unintentionally kicked him down the stairs…
"Satoshi!" the red head shouted as she ran down the stairs to help her Boyfriends or whatever the fuck.
K-pop started to breathe normally as he struggled to get up, "What the hell...Are you fucking insa-" I cut him off from his sentence as I went full force and kicked his face.
I don't think I was in full control of my body anymore since I started to whale onto K-pop's face with my right fist.
And I didn't stop as much as I told my body to.
I just kept punching and punching and punching.
My hand already felt like It was broken but I kept punching him.
By the time the teachers got here, people were already trying to peel me off of K-pop and stop punching him. I even threw a couple of people that were just trying to help aside as my main goal was just to make K-pop suffer.
The only teacher that was able to keep me in check was Mr. Fujiwara since he was the strongest teacher.
I don't even remember what happened after that, everything was just a blur.
I remember some things though, like getting yelled at by the Teachers, getting yelled at by the Principal, seeing my parents yelling but not at me, having to get a cast on my right hand since I did break it, I don't know what happened to Shitstain and K-pop, I even saw my hands tremble as I cried for the first time in a long time, but the most memorable thing out of it all was still burned in my mind...
Among those few groups of people who tried to peel me off of K-pop was Sayori, and she was crying and begging me to stop and to get off of him.
I guess that's what made me breakdown later on.
Next day came by without me even knowing it.
I don't know how long I'd been sleeping and how long I was awake last night. But what I do know is that despite getting into a fight, I wasn't suspended again.
I didn't even want to go to school when my alarm rang. I didn't even want to get out of bed in general.
A couple of knocks on the door was heard, "Hey Jun, get up." my dad said.
I got up from my bed slowly and opened the door.
"Can I stay home today? I really don't feel like going to school." I told him.
I wasn't sure what kind of face I was making but all he did was pat me on the back and give me a sympathetic smile, "As much as it pains me as a Father, sadly no. I'm still conflicted on whether I should be proud or scold you for yesterday…" he said while I stood there.
"Yesterday huh….Can you tell me what happened, you know, after the fight? I don't think I remember anything after my teacher pulled me off." I said a bit embarrassed.
My Dad gave me a small smile, "Get dressed and get ready, I'll explain it over breakfast. Take your time and don't worry about being late."
With that, I did my morning routine and as normal as I could. The only difference was that I looked like shit and that I couldn't use my right hand properly.
By the time I got dressed and headed downstairs, it seemed my entire family was waiting for me.
Great, now I know what I did was really serious.
I sat down in one of the chairs at the dining table right next to my brother.
"Jun, are you okay?" Mom asked, by the looks of it, it seems like she was crying too.
"I think so…" I said as I tried to muster some kind of positivity so she wouldn't have to worry too much.
"Huh, you think so? Have you taken a look in the mirror recently?" Hideki joked.
Both Mom and Dad glared at him only for me to manage a small chuckle, "Look who's talking." I replied back.
Dad served me some of his eggs and bacon omelette with some toast. It was nice.
"So, you want to know what happened yesterday…" Dad said as he thought back.
"Yesterday?" Hideki questioned.
"Yeah, he doesn't remember what happened yesterday after the teachers came." Dad said as he drank some coffee.
Hideki chuckled as he shook his head, "Holy shit! Did you really black out?"
"Language." Mom said as she scolded him.
"Yeah, I really don't remember anything…" I said as I finished my eggs.
"Oh boy, this...haha...this is a story to tell!" Hideki said as he was smiling uncontrollably.
Ok so here's what happened yesterday;
From what my Dad heard from the teachers, right after Mr. Fujiwara pulled me off of K-pop, the other teachers and staff that just got to the scene were pissed. Probably just as pissed as I was, cause not only was there a fight, but multiple students were injured (partly my fault) and that gave them the prompt idea of wanting me expelled for this fight.
But from the point of view of some students that watched the fight, I was completely in the right or not fighting back for 10 minutes up until I started to go apeshit and hurt 2 students really badly. K-pop had his entire right side of face swollen from my punches along with a broken nose and a slight concussion, Shitstain, while I did kick him down the stairs, only got a broken ankle and a broken wrist. Other Casualties were bystander students who tried to help me only to get tossed aside.
When the principal pulled me to his office, he was backed up with a couple of teachers, Mr. Fujiwara included. When he told them that I was going to be expelled, Mr. Fujiwara stepped in and tried to stop the decision from happening. He told them to double check the security cameras to see if I was really in the wrong or If I was just defending myself. Camera's didn't lie along with student testimonies, but the Principal was still hell bent on getting me expelled.
It was at this time that my parents were called in to hear about me getting expelled, but they told the Principal that they'd come and talk about the situation in person. When they heard everything that happened from both teachers, camera's and student opinions, now my parents we pissed while I was left soulless. They said that thay'd even sue the school for something so stupid.
After an hour or two shouting, name calling, and threatening with legal action, they came up with a solution; No suspensions, no expulsions, no legal action, but I would have to do some manual labor around the school for the next 2 months, summer vacation included.
Before my parents took me home, Mr. Fujiwara asked the nurse to bandage up my hand. Since it was still bleeding and didn't feel right, they decided to put a cast over it as well.
Hideki brought the car over and drove me back home without saying a word.
From what Hideki heard from Sayori, the School was buzzing because of me.
People uploaded the fight onto Youtube and other social media sites, apparently my fights were getting good views. K-pop and Shitstain were suspended for 2 weeks with mandatory 2 hour after school detention for a week the moment they got back.
They even had a 1 hour school meeting in the gym about the situation.
Everyone was not allowed to talk about the situation in school, the school even contacted Youtube Japan to get any clones of the video taken down, and if anyone was caught talking about it they'd get an hour of detention.
"Holy shit…" was all I managed to say when I heard this.
"Language!" Mom said as she scolded me.
"What about Sayori, is she ok?" I asked.
"Hmmm, I guess?" Hideki said, sounding unsure, "I mean physically she's ok, her wrist only has a small bruise, but emotionally...I'm still not sure. I mean she said that she's more concerned about you, but I'm a bit worried about her."
"Is she going to school today?" I asked.
"Seems like it, but I wish that both of you would take it easy for a day…" Hideki said.
"What, you actually care for us? That's rare." I joked.
"Ok fine, let me rephrase, I'm worried about Sayori, you can do whatever you want…" Hideki said, taking back what he said.
"If you're done with Breakfast, then you can go to school. Take it easy today, don't get into anymore fights please." My dad said as he took my plate to wash it, "I'm sure you want to take the time to take things easy after yesterday, Don't worry about being late, I've already talked to the school on the phone."
"Thanks dad." I said as I took my bag and headed out the door.
I closed the door behind me and thought that I was about to head to school alone before I saw Sayori hanging around the front of my gate with a small smile.
"Hey Jun. You look terrible." she lightly joked.
Man this just really isn't my year huh…
The internet goes out for a month, literally a day before I was going to upload the last chapter, then school is starting to ramp up a bit, and now my laptop kills itself…. (Edit: forget what I said, my laptop wants to work now after a week of not taking any charge.)
Might get myself an actual laptop instead of a tablet laptop just to make writing and photoshop easier for myself...
That being said, happy 1 year anniversary for this story, I really don't know how much of you guys stuck around from my first 2 chapters up until now, probably not a lot of you, but anyways, here's for another year hopefully.
By the way, can you believe that it's only been a year out here, but only a month in the story? Man, my sense of time sucks! By the time Jun reaches summer it'll probably be 4 years later for us.
I'm joking, I'm not gonna spend 4 years on this story. I'll make time skips reasonable.
Anyways (old) review time...
DavidGoyena:
If Monika is starting to scare you, then I know I'm doing a good job at her character.
Yeah, I'm basically trying to make Bitch and Natsuki both Tsundere's, but at least Bitch will be tolerable and likeable.
Mccam:
Nice.
Edit: Holy Fuck the last time I've uploaded was November. I really slacked off, should've at least given you guys 1 more chapter...
