Amu's POV

I stared blankly at the piece of paper

Ya. You owe me some answers

What the heck is wrong with this guy? Can he not understand when someone doesn't want to talk about something?! I swear he needs to get a life and leave me alone. I don't care if he believes my story or not. (Well I actually do but ya know)

I look back at him and flipped him off subtly.

He smirks that annoying smirk and mouths: How hard

I guess my reaction because that fucking perv almost fell of his chair from holding his laugh in. fuming, I turned back around. That asshole, who does he think he is?

Page Break Just Floating Around

It's my last period, Math. There's 5 minutes left of class and we're not really doing anything anymore. I'm just thinking about how many times Tsukiyomi almost found out my secret. It really didn't help that I have PE with him. That one time was too close

Flashback to PE

I'm wearing my basketball shorts because my fat head decided to forget to remind me to bring my PE sweats after the freaking beating. Wonderful. Just wonderful! I dress for PE and when I slip my shorts on, I notice that you can see a couple of bruises on my leg. Ugh, I'll just say that I hurt my leg multiple times when I fell down the stairs (?) Aye it's the best I could can come up with. I checked my bag to see if I had some concealer to at least try to hide my bruises. I found some at the bottom of my bag and as quickly as possible and walked out the girls' locker room.

I was the first girl out of the locker room, surprisingly considering my situation. I tried so hard to not limp my way to class, which sadly consisted of Ikuto. Whoopee. When class started the teacher made us run 3 laps around the track.

Out of nowhere, I hear someone whisper in my ear, "Hey Strawberry, wanna race the three laps." I jumped out of my skin and turned around just to see Tsukiyomi standing there with a smirk on his face.

"Well then again it's a given I'll win considering you're too fat to sprint one full lap so..."

"Look Blueberry, I can beat you in my sleep, okay?!" I personally took offense to this since I'm on the track team and my coach says I'm one of the best members she's had in a long time.

"Fine let's go, Pinky"

With that the teacher blew the whistle and Tsukiyomi and I started sprinting down the track. I probably shouldn't have accepted the bet since my legs were still in pain from last nights beating. I just kept running repeating "Finish faster and the pain will be gone faster". I kept repeating that until I finished my laps in 5:30 with Tsukiyomi finishing in 5:35.

"I'll give it to you Pinky, you're really fast. But I just let you win so you wouldn't feel so bad." Tsukiyomi said out of breathe, barely being able to stand up on himself.

"Lies, you just don't want to accept the fact that someone is actually better than you at something." I said barely out of breathe. Next thing I knew, Ikuto splashed some of his water bottle on my legs.

And the concealer wasn't waterproof.

"Shit Ikuto! What the hell that's freaking cold!" I said turning around, hoping he couldn't see the concealer running down my legs. Sadly, life's a bitch.

Ikuto stands in front of me, with a shocked looked on his face.

"Amu...What happened to you legs?" he asked, way too calmly.

"When I fell down the stairs, at the bottom, we had a table and my legs hit the... uh the table when I reached the bottom... so now I got, uh, bruised legs... ya," Smooth Amu, smooth.

I could tell he didn't believe me but it didn't matter since he dropped the topic. The rest off PE consisted of Ikuto sending worried stares at my direction.

End of Flashback

After that, Ikuto didn't try to bring up the topic anymore. He did keep looking at me occasionally, which was weird.

Ikuto POV

I know Amu's excuses are complete bullshit. I've seen bruises like the ones on her leg and they were definitely not from falling down the stairs and getting hit by a table. Either Amu is getting bullied or someone is beating her at home. I'm gonna find out which one it is and if she;s being bullied at school, I'm gonna kill whoever is hurting my Amu. Wait, she's not mine! Whoever hurts Amu, yeah that's what I meant.

Anyways, I've been watching Amu all day and no one has touched her so she isn't bullied at school. That just leaves the other option. I've planned to followed Amu home and watch to see if anything happens to her.

Amu's POV

As I walked home, I thought someone was following me but every time I looked back, no one was there. Maybe just my imagination. As I got home, I noticed my dad's car was in the driveway. Shit that usually means that he got sent home and the beatings are so bad I had to skip school for two days cause I could barely move.

Can I just die this time?

And that's the end of that. I'm trying to update more frequently now but lets see how that turns out.
