Chapter 3: Alone
I forced myself to put on a smile as I was about to enter our classroom.
Ok, 1...2...3! "Ohayo Minna!" I greet with a obvious fake smile.
They answered back happily, it looked like they didn't notice either way.
I sat down my chair and nervously greeted Ichijou.
"G-good morning darling!" I greeted in a nervous tone with another fake smile.
He didn't look at me and just nodded.
It crushed me deep inside. How could he act like that? Just because now he won Kosaki's heart he'll start avoiding me?
I could feel my eyes getting wet, I pulled myself and walked towards the door only to be stopped by our classmates.
"Kirisaki-san Class is about to start, Are you gonna go the restroom?" A classmate asked noticing that I was about to cry.
Giving her a small sad smile I answered."Umm. Yeah." Not noticing that I've broken down to tears.
It didn't work put again I guess..., I walked outside closing the door before they bombarded me with questions on why I was crying.
Nothing really worked out well again.
It was lunch break and Tsugumi was nowhere to be seen, I sat down on the nearby bench and started eating my lunch. I couldn't bring myself to eat inside our classroom so I just ate out here, not after they've seen me cry.
Every bite I took made me sadder. Usually Ichijou would eat with me or Tsugumi...or Ruri and Kosaki. But now I'm all alone.
Once again I was crying..., I felt so alone. So alone just like before.
I quickly wiped my tears off telling myself that it was just for now, re-assuring myself that it would all be well.
Maybe she was just busy that's why I'm alone for now...
I recalled the times I had spent eating alone, those were years. Years of being alone at school, Papa being busy, Mama being busy too. Me being all alone.
And then the tears just won't stop. "Maybe I'm meant to be alone."
"Wahhh How can I make myself believe that I'm gonna be ok? Damn it all, Darn this!"
Fixing my lunch, I cleaned it up and went back to our classroom after I washed my face.
Our school time passes by quickly, and it's dismissal time now.
Oh Tsugumi's there!
"Tsugumi let's go home together!" I exclaimed happily.
She looked behind and gave me a half smile. "I'm sorry Young miss, I'll be helping at Kosaki-sans shop today!" And then she walked away leaving me all alone again.
Is it just me or is everyone leaving me?
I dropped my bag to the floor, and collapsed after it.
Lying down on the floor, I covered my face with my arm.
I wonder how they're all doing? I bet their happy...
Suddenly I hear voices from the hallway, Quickly I hide myself in the locker inside our classroom where they hide the cleaning items.
I take a peek and see that it was...Kosaki and Ichijou.
They both looked flustered but they were smiling, It made me cringe. I was in fact jealous.
I know it's bad to eavesdrop but..., I just want to know.
"T-Tsugumi-chan is helping at our shop, D-do you want to come and help too?"
The smile Raku had on his face was priceless. He looked like a love-struck fool.
"Of course!" He answered back blushing again.
Damn Raku.
"I saw Chitoge-chan crying this morning in the restroom. Do you think she's alright?"
Raku gave no response as I watched Kosaki wait for him to answer.
"It's alright if you don't sant to talk about it. So Shall we go then?" Kosaki grabbed her bag but then Raku suddenly grabbed her wrist.
"Raku?" She called out as she looked at Raku's hand holding her wrist.
"Can I touch your hand. Just for a little while?" He asked out blushing wildly.
Well that's great, he avoids a topic with me in it but then acts mushy with Kosaki, Fine by me it's not like I care...
I watched her nod shyly as they held hands and left.
Coming out of the cramped locker, I scraped my leg from the side making me cry in pain.
"Argh!" I looked at my left leg with a big wound, blood dripping from it.
This isn't fair! I cried out as I felt the stinging pain from my wound.
I wrapped my hanker chief on it just to stop it a little, and went home limping dvery once in a while.
I went straight to my room not to spark there attention on my wound.
Treating it, I screamed at the pain.
It took a while after I finished cleaning it.
Lying down on my bed, I thought to myself.
"Did I do anything wrong to deserve this?"
"Young miss are you alright!? We heard you scream." The door flew and the other gangsters came in.
I sat up straight giving them a small sad smile."I'm alright, I just saw a...monster." well that's a great excuse.
"A monster in the miss's room!? How dare that monster! We will track it down and skin it alive!" They ran out and began searching.
It made me smile a little. Just then my phone ringed,It was from mom?
Answering it, my mom spoke to me.
"Chitoge, there's something I have to tell you. This is very sudden yet very important!, but you need to leave Japan as soon as possible! Inform your father quickly and tell him to call me. There are bad things gonna happen if you don't leave right now, especially you! Pack your bags and call me Asap."
Just what's happening? Why do I have to leave Japan...
Why is this happening to me? Just what is going on with my life?
