Author's Note: I'm going to try and Update this story as much as possible, but I can't do it without your support. Please tell me what I'm doing right, what I'm doing wrong, and your honest opinion about this story. What would you guys like to see in this Fanfic? I hope you liked the little Satoshi x Naomi thing in Chapter three. I'd really like to keep that going because I saw a few people that wanted it in the comments. I was also thinking about changing the rating, due to how much swearing I realized there was. Please tell me what you think about that, and enjoy chapter 4!
It was the second day back at Kisargi Academy, and even after the events of yesterday, everyone was still on their way to school. Although it was 7:45 am, Yoshiki Kishinuma found himself waking up at this late time, hungover. "Fuck," Yoshiki muttered, knowing the familiar feeling of his past. "Hangover, just great." He glanced at the clock and realized he was going to be late. He didn't really care though, due to the fact that he had nothing to lose. Hopefully since Satoshi and Naomi had something going on, Ayumi would maybe change her mind about him. Luckily for him, he knew what to make for breakfast that cured his hangover every time - Bacon and eggs. He opened up the fridge and realized to his luck, he had no bacon. "Shit," He groaned in frustration, grabbing his wallet off of the counter and heading out the door. He was gonna have to eat out if he didn't wanna feel hungover.
He rushed to the nearest diner and ordered bacon with eggs and waited for a few minutes before receiving his meal. He noticed it was about 8 o'clock now, he was late. He still didn't give a shit, but he knew that everyone else would...
Satoshi and Naomi walked side by side, on their way to school. They were hand in hand, as they were yesterday when Satoshi walked Naomi home from Yoshiki's apartment. "What time is it?" Naomi asked with a smile.
"Seven thirty," Satoshi replied, glancing up at her from his watch. "We've got time."
They were just approaching the school when they saw Ayumi approaching them. "Hello Shinozaki," Naomi greeted with a friendly smile on her face.
"Hello, Nakashima," she replied quickly, slipping in between the couple and continuing to walk with them. Naomi and Satoshi both looked at eah other, as if secretly questioning what Ayumi was doing. "Did you guys finish the Math homework last night?" Satoshi felt suspicious about this question. Ayumi was acting as if nothing had happened the day before.
"Yes, I finished it before I went to Yoshiki's apartment," Naomi answered with an exhausting tone in her voice. She was honestly tired from yesterday's events.
"What about you Mochida?" Ayumi questioned curiously. She looked up at him with big eyes as they walked to homeroom together.
"Finished it in class," Satoshi murmured informatively, with a pain in his nose. It was about 7:45 by then, and they were just entering the class with fifteen minutes to spare. The fight yesterday had him shaken up, even if he had forgotten about it due to being knocked out. He had never been in a fight before, and he never expected to be in one with his best friend either. He was worried that he wouldn't show up to school.
It was finally eight o'clock and the bell rang. There was still no Yoshiki to be found, and it didn't change Satoshi's mood. He felt bad, even though it was Yoshiki getting drunk that caused the whole thing. Although he wasn't too keen on visiting Yoshiki's apartment again, he was highly considering it if he didn't show up. Lost in thought, Satoshi hadn't realized that class had already started. He then opened up his textbook and began taking notes
Yoshiki finished eating his breakfast and glanced at the clock. It was 8:12. He looked down at his plate and stood up, tossing money onto the table to pay for his meal. He then picked up his backpack, running out of the building not wanting to be more late than he already was. He pulled out his phone and realized that he got a text from Satoshi. 'Where are u, dude? Class started ten minutes ago.' He then replied, 'I'm on my way, I was just eating breakfast is all.' Putting his phone back into his pocket, Yoshiki continued running on route to the school. He knew he would see Ayumi there, and was worried about what she would say to him, or if she'd even say anything to him.
As he rounded a corner, he stumbled but regained his balance. He was on the same street that Kisargi Academy was on. Knowing he was close, Yoshiki picked up his pace and finally reached the school. He then slowed down, approaching the front entrance. He entered the school panting heavily, and started in the direction of his first period classroom. He speed walked through the hallway, glancing around every corner in hopes that a teacher wouldn't catch him late for class.
About a minute later, he finally reached his class and without thinking opened the door, interrupting the whole class. "Mr. Kishinuma," the teacher said in a slightly mad tone. "Showing up late again, aren't we? What's your excuse this time?" At this point, the whole class was staring at him. Including his friends; Naomi, Morishige, Ayumi, Satoshi, Mayu, and Seiko. The class was completely silent, you could hear a pin drop.
"Breakfast," Yoshiki said in a completely relaxed tone. By saying this, he had scored a few laughs, and some giggles from the girls. The teacher had an angry expression on her face, but dismissed her anger and said, "Fine, you've gotten off this time. Please sit down and pay attention for once." Yoshiki did as the teacher said, and found his spot at the back of the classroom, drifting off to sleep.
"Thank God he showed up," Satoshi thought to himself as he tried to pay attention to the teacher. Although he was late, Satoshi was glad he could make it after everything that happened. Though Ayumi was a different story. She knew it'd be awkward since she denied him yesterday, and it was her fault everything had happened in the first place. For once, she felt a little bad about how she went on him and actually considered apologizing to him. She felt like she didn't think about her actions the other day, and now that she did, she understood why that caused Yoshiki to do what he did. For once in the past day, she felt like she was doing something right, at least for the time being.
It was finally lunch, and Mayu found herself walking to the cafeteria by herself, until she spotted Yoshiki trailing a crowd of people. She approached him and said, "Hey Yoshiki. We didn't really get the chance to talk yesterday." She said with a frown, "Satoshi told me what happened, and I'm really sorry." To Yoshiki's surprise, Mayu moved in to hug him, and after a second he found himself hugging back. He really needed that.
"Thanks, Suzumoto," Yoshiki started, while still embraced in the hug. Finally, they pulled away from each other. "I really needed that."
Mayu smiled. "Why don't you sit with us at lunch? It'd be nice to sit down and talk with everyone."
"Won't Shinozaki be there?" Yoshiki asked, awkwardly. "I'm not sure if thats a good idea..."
"She wanted to see you, Kishinuma," Mayu replied. "I think she's ready for an apology."
"Alright," Yoshiki muttered, giving in to Mayu's sweetness. "Let's go." And with that, the two headed into the cafeteria together, sitting down at a table with their group of friends.
"Hey Yosh," Satoshi said with a grin.
"Whats up Satoshi," Yoshiki replied returning his smile. "Sorry for breaking your nose yesterday." Satoshi laughed friendly, as if nothing happened. He was taking it well. Almost too well.
"No hard feelings man," he replied, accepting the apology. "I just want to get back to being best friends."
"Well I'm glad to hear that," Yoshiki sighed in relief. He glanced around the room for a second, and then returned to the group. The table was quiet for a minute, but then unexpectedly, Ayumi spoke up, breaking the silence.
"Hey, Yoshiki," she said, grabbing his attention. Everyone looked at her, wondering why she wanted to speak to the guy she was so harsh to earlier. Everyone seemed a little confused by this.
Yoshiki's face grew cold and serious as he replied with a, "Yes?" Everyone was serious at this point, and Ayumi felt bad because she was causing this. It was kind of odd for her since her feelings were changing since yesterday. She no longer felt the urge to lash out on him.
"Do you think we could maybe go talk for a minute, outside?"
