It Starts, It Ends
Chapter 5
So, today's my first day of school. Yay -_-… It kinda sucks cuz I have to wake up when it's still dark out. If it weren't for streetlights, I wouldn't be able to see my bus stop. My school is literally a ten minute drive, but my bus brings us to the school thirty minutes before we're even allowed to go to our classrooms. Ugh.
Sorry for the rant, but it sucks. Here's the next chapter.

~Why do they treat him like this?
Can't they see he's afraid of THEM?
It seemed like it was only yesterday,
That we were all the best of friends.~
The next day, Rin hadn't shown up for prep school, leaving his classmates to say whatever they wanted without him even knowing.
"Hmph! He doesn't even bother to show up to class!" Suguro complained. "Idiot! He pisses me off."
Yuki-chan glanced over sadly, but he didn't say anything.
Why do they all act like this…? Don't they know how all this makes him feel…? I thought we were all friends, so how could they say such awful things…?
I tried to fix what I had done,
But it's not enough.
For someone betrayed by far too many,
Life will start to be too rough.~
"Is he even worth discussing, Bon? I'm trying to pay attention to the lesson," Kamiki-san huffed.
No… Don't say those things! He's your friend! He won't be able to keep going with you all saying these things!
"He's terrifying…," Konekomaru muttered fearfully
Stop!
"Yeah, those blue flames…," Shima trailed off.
STOP!
"…stop…," I whispered, too quiet for anyone to hear.
STOP!
~Just look at him!
See the despair and hopelessness in his eyes!
Listen to yourselves when you mock him!
Hear his misery as he cries!~
"STOP IT!" I finally yelled.
Everyone turned to look at me, surprised.
"DO YOU ALL HEAR WHAT YOU'RE SAYING?!" I screamed. "CAN'T YOU SEE WHAT YOU'RE DOING TO HIM?! LOOK AT HIM! HONESTLY, CAN'T YOU SEE HOW MUCH THIS HURTS HIM?! LISTEN TO YOURSELVES! HE'S YOUR FRIEND, NO MATTER WHO HIS FATHER IS! HOW WOULD YOU FEEL IF YOUR FRIENDS ALL STARTED TREATING YOU LIKE GARBAGE BECAUSE OF YOUR PARENTS?!"
~ Why don't you see what you've done?
You're killing him inside!
Please, stop this before it escalates,
Before he really dies!~
"HOW BLIND DO YOU HAVE TO BE TO NOT SEE HOW MISERABLE HE IS?!" I continued yelling. "ALL OF THIS IS KILLING HIM?! DO YOU HAVE ANY CLUE WHAT HE'S BEEN DOING TO HIMSELF?! YOU ALL SIT HERE INSULTING HIM BECAUSE HE'S A DEMON, AND YOU'RE NO BETTER THAN THE DEMONS HE'S FOUGHT TO KEEP PEOPLE SAFE! IF YOU DON'T STOP THIS, HE'S GOING TO DIE!"
Everyone stared at me incredulously.
"… You're going to kill him…," I cried, softer.
As I started sobbing, the class stayed silent.
Please… Stop… Don't let him die…

I just realized that I forgot the XXX at the end of the last chapter… oops…
