Chapter 48: A Surprise Visit
The next day the girls went to school and saw Nagisa holding his shoes that were covered in trash. They gasped and went up to him out of worry.
"Nagisa! Is everything alright?" Gou asked him. They heard laughter from a group of girls walking past them. The high five each other, laughed, and pointed at Nagisa.
"I'm fine. Just leave me be…" Nagisa tossed his shoes on the ground to clean them.
"You can...rely on us you know." Bo spoke up.
"Leave me alone!" Nagisa shouted at the girls. The girls gulped and slowly went away from him.
"What a bunch of bitches." Bo muttered. "Next time I'll get the crap out of them." she slammed her fist into her other hand.
"Same." Gou agreed. "Let's just hope that we'll catch them in time."
….
After school they waited for the girls who made fun of Nagisa. When none of them showed up at the front gates to leave they decided to find them. When they went behind the school they saw the girls throwing stuff at Nagisa.
"How dare you sleep with Chigusa's boyfriend!" Kairi yelled at him.
"You are such a slut!" Hana laughed. Three other girls were throwing and belittling him. Bo picks up a large branch and runs towards the group of girls with the scariest face she could make. One of them notices and screams like crazy. The others notice and they all start to runaway. As Bo chases them Gou gets Nagisa out of there. They got off school grounds out of breath and looking over their shoulders.
"You okay, Nagisa?" Gou asked. Suddenly she was pulled into a hug by him.
"Thank you...thank you so much Gou…" he sniffled.
"God, I haven't done that since middle school." a wretched Bo came out with a great big smile across her face. "That was so fun!" the Nagisa jumped on her and hugged her tightly.
"Thank you so much…" Bo said smiling kindly at him. She patted his back in comfort.
…..
The girls walked Nagisa back home and then decided to hang out together.
"I hate teacher-student-career meetings!" Bo said slamming her head on a table as they sat in a family restaurant.
"What did you even write on yours?" Gou asked curiously.
"I just wrote a bullshit career like I do every year. This year I put cafe owner." Bo giggled.
"Really, Bo? You're going to get caught for that you know." Gou lectured her.
"IF I get caught." Bo smirked. Gou rolled her eyes but laughed with Bo.
"Matsuoka?" a voice called out to Gou she looked over Bo's shoulder and saw a boy with light pink hair with violet eyes standing there with a kind smile on his face.
"Shigino Kisumi!?" Gou said in surprise. "What are you doing here?"
"Didn't Makoto tell you? I came here a month ago! You really didn't know about it!?" said Kisumi.
"No! How are you!?" Gou smiled. "Oh, Bo, this is Shigino Kisumi, Kisumi this is Watanabe Boboa!"
"Nice to meet you!" Bo greeted him.
"...you're hanging out with Bo? The one who put sand in some guy's underwear in primary school? The one who chased a bunch of hooligans with a large tree branch she found? The one who might be related to a sea witch?" he said keeping a distance from her.
"And I've enjoyed every minute of it. Plus, I love my aunt." Bo smiled mischievously at him.
"Oh boy Gou, you sure have a lot to deal with." Kisumi laughed. Then he sat right next to Gou and smiled.
"So what's been going on with you guys?" he said leaning his on his arm. The girls looked at each other and then back to him with awkward smiles.
….
They eventually lied through most of their stories. There was an earthquake instead of a golem, stupid kids playing with fire to cover up Hex, just an average giant squid attack over a kraken, everything that happened was covered with an explainable lie.
"Wow that's a lot! Are you the cause Bo-chan?" Kisumi joked.
"I don't know...maybe?" Bo smirked.
"Well, I have to go. I see you pretty ladies later!" he winked and left the restaurant.
"How do you know so many hot guys?" asked Bo.
"It's not like that! I haven't seen him in years! I didn't know that he became that handsome!" Gou try to clear up but Bo kept making fun of her.
…..
Hey, I'm back!" Bo shouted through her house.
"Hey, Boboa! I have question to ask you?" Nana asked her as she went into the living room.
"Sure what?"
"Have you seen your father and his family lately?"
"Why should I? I never want to seen them again." Bo said in disgust.
"Well they went missing. It looks like they suddenly stopped and left their car and disappeared." Nana explained.
"How odd…" Bo felt vibes tingle on every backbone. 'This isn't right…' she thought has every vibe stung her back.
…..
"Those girls are really bad at lying!" Kisumi laughed as he sat in a dark room with a man in the hood. "Don't they know that!"
The man in the hood shook his head in agreement to what Kisumi was saying.
"I know, I know, you said to have patience but I am running out of it! When are we going to crush them!?"
The man in the hood pointed at a calendar in the middle of the month.
"Graduation, huh?" Kisumi scuffed. "I can wait." he said hugging the man in the hood. "I'll do what you say. I'll always follow you to the ends of the Earth for you…" he kissed the top of his head but was pushed away.
