AceDetective: Welcome back! I have a new chapter! Chapter 5!
Yosuke: Good, Persona 4 and Skyscraper don't belong to AceDetective.
Both: Here we gooo!
Yukiko's P.O.V.
"Hurry up Rise they're coming!" I yell back at Rise. The Populars were chasing us down for their weekly slushy throwing.
"I'm trying! Eek! They're coming with a grape!" Rise yelled back. Her just saying that made me run faster.
Like hell they're gonna hit me with that
"Teddie hurry up and get the small one in the back!" I heard Souji call out. I quickly turned the corner and zipped down the stairs. I looked back at Rise, who was coming down the steps. Unfortunately Teddie had other ideas. He threw the slushy, hitting Rise in the back of the head. It must have startled her because she ended up falling. Good thing she turned or she would've broken her face.
I ran over to her. "Are you okay?" I asked frantically. She nodded.
"I'm okay but my ankle hurts" My eyes shot to her ankle. It was a bit swollen.
"What's going on?" Rise and I looked up to the teacher at the top of the stairs. For reason, Teddie didn't flee with Souji and was still at the top too.
While the kid was searching for words, I took this opportunity to snitch. "This guy hit-"
"Class Rep didn't do anything. I had a slushy and tripped and got it all on me. Class Rep just came to see if I was okay." I couldn't believe what I just heard. Rise had just cut me off and covered for him!
"Is that true?" The teacher asked Teddie.
"Y-yes."
"I'll be going then. Make sure to get her to a nurse." he nodded in response to the teacher. I already helped Rise up and started heading for the nurse.
"Wait, do you need help?" He asked. I laughed humorlessly. Him, a Popular, want to help us?
"Like we'd ever need help from you. Go back to your meat head friends." I said with a quick glare. He took my advice and we went our separate ways.
I entered the room as quietly as I could since the door creaked. I didn't want anyone knowing where I was. I walked over to the black piano. It's the only thing in the room besides some janitor tools.
My hands rested softly on the keys as a small smile rested on my face. This is how I spent my lunch before I met Chie, Rise, and Naoto. Now I barely come. I started playing random notes until I knew what I wanted to play.
Skyscraper- Demi Lovato
Skies are crying, I am watching
Catching tear drops in my hands
Only silence as it's ending
Like we never had a chance
Do you have to make me feel like
There's nothing left of me?
You can take everything I have
You can break everything I am
Like I'm made of glass
Like I'm made of paper
Go on and try to tear me down
I will be rising from the ground
Like a skyscraper
Like a skyscraper
As the smoke clears, I awaken
And untangle you from me
Would it make you feel better
To watch me while I bleed?
All my windows still are broken
But I'm standing on my feet
You can take everything I have
You can break everything I am
Like I'm made of glass
Like I'm made of paper
Go on and try to tear me down
I will be rising from the ground
Like a skyscraper
Like a skyscraper
Go run, run, run
I'm gonna stay right here,
Watch you disappear
Yeah, oh
Go run, run, run
Yeah, it's a long way down
But I am closer to the clouds up here
You can take everything I have
You can break everything I am
Like I'm made of glass
Like I'm made of paper
Oh Oh
Go on and try to tear me down
I will be rising from the ground
Like a skyscraper
Like a skyscraper
(Like a skyscraper)
Like a skyscraper
Like a skyscraper
I finished the song. The room was silent until a loud crash. I head jolted around to see one of my worst enemies on the floor with a bucket on his head and a mop on top of him.
I face-palmed as I laughed. Kanji must've heard me laugh since he took off the bucket and got up really fast. He laughed nervously.
"Sorry for disturbing you. You're really good" Kanji told me. I rolled my eyes and got up. I don't wanna be here now since he ruined it.
"Whatever I'm leaving." I said, not even looking at him.
"You look and sound familiar. Have we met?" I froze knowing he was talking about me in the band. I turned and face him. I thought of something quick.
"I'm the girl you and your friends like to chunk things at; preferably slushies." I said with a scowl. He seem to not remember me and I don't blame him. The last time he did something to me personally was a year ago.
"Nah doesn't ring a bell." Kanji said while rubbing his chin, "So what's your name?"
This boy must be stupid if he hasn't sensed the hatred from me. "No way" I told him as I left the room. I tried to speed walk away but he just stuck his head out and yelled.
"Slushy girl! when is the next time your gonna be here? I wanna hear you play." He yelled.
"If your there, NEVER!" I yelled back.
Teddie's P.O.V.
I felt bad, no wait, bad is a understatement. I felt horrible. It's my fault the girl got hurt and she lied for me. All I've done is be mean to her and she helps me. I had so much guilt it hung over my like a cloud.
Right now I was outside the nurses' office, trying to think of a way to go in there and apologize. so Far no luck.
I took a deep breath and went in. The nurse turned around and smiled.
"Rise-chan! you have a visitor!" She yelled.
"Oh is it Naoto again? She already gave me my homework! I hope she brought candy!" Her bright smile fell when she saw me. I smiled weakly.
"I'm not your friend but I did bring candy." I said. She didn't respond. the nurse sensed the tension in the air.
"Yeah. I got some errands and...nurse stuff to do. How about I leave?" She left on that note. It was still quiet until Rise spoke.
"Why did you come to see me? You didn't get in trouble so why come see me?" She asked me.
"I came...to apologize. and thank you for not telling." I said, swallowing hard. She shrugged.
"Don't. I didn't do it for you. I just didn't want want any more trouble." Rise explained. Only thing I don't get is why she doesn't not like me.
"Why are you like this? I don't get it."
"Huh? I don't understand."
"Why don't you hate me? I've done all these horrible things to you but you're so...unfazed."
"Hatred takes up too much of my energy. At the most, I will get mad but hating other people is stupid to me." I still don't get even if she explains it. It really doesn't make any sense.
"Fine. but even though you feel like that, I'm sorry for doing that to you." I apologized as I got closer to her. I gave her the candy.
"It's okay." when she said that, I went to leave.
"Hey" She called to me. I turned around and Rise had on the most beautiful smile I'd ever seen,"Thanks...for getting me some candy."
I couldn't help but smile back."Your welcome"
AceDetective: There you go! Chapter 5! Yukiko x Kanji and Rise x Teddie is starting to get in action! I'll probably start having some Souji x Naoto in the next chapter too! Till then, bye-bye!
