Oh my god, while writing this chapter I found out I had exactly 6,666 views on my story. While I'm on chapter 6 no less. Man that's actually pretty freaky. Anyways enough of my blabber, onto the reviws.
Isuckatnaming: Thanks for the praise and all but I feel the 'Our battle station' ending was more original and better written to be honest.
Saif Omar: I'm sorry it hurt me to write that as well. Please forgive me, I swear to never do this again.
ReignHopeless: To tell you the truth I expected this story to do a lot worse so thanks a lot for the praise. Means a lot to me. I'm gonna try to think of some original requests in the future.
Guest: Shit I'll have to re-watch the OVA for myself then. Thanks for the info.
Renekton Time: Yeah the whole business with the cookies was a real 'oof' moment.
CrazyxEnigma: I'm gonna try to slowly smooth things out between them from this point on. They'll still be kind of hostile but in a 'frenemies' way.
Cookie-4IS: Your wish is my command. Just hope you'll be satisfied.
Alright that's enough responses for the reviews. Onto the chapter, as usual. Please review my story and I hope you enjoy. Peace.
Chapter 7: The tiger of class 2-F
On any other normal day I would've opted to consume my pathetic lunch consisting of a loaf of Yakisoba bread and can of MAX coffee outside. Sadly, on this one specific day where I suddenly got called into the fiery inferno that is the teacher's office by the literal devil of the school Hiratsuka-Sensei. The gods had decided to add to my misfortune by summoning rain on the very same day. Leaving me confined to the Purgatory that is my classroom.
"*Sigh* Trapped with all the damned conformists for the day it seems." I quietly sighed. "Hmm...?" Turning my head, I noticed Tobe suddenly leaving his little inner circle to 'politely ask' to borrow a game console from a pair of extra cast members. Unfortunately for that little shit-stain, he seems to have forgotten our little agreement when it comes to distance.
"Yo, is that a Nintendo Switch?" Tobe loudly asked in that stupid tone of voice he uses.
"Y-yeah, it's brand new..." One of them nervously answered. It seems he knew about Kakeru's past as a thug as well."
"Dude that's awesome! Can I-" He suddenly stopped blabbering when he noticed my cold stare, his expression changing from one of excitement to complete terror.
"Look at your phone." I silently mouthed. Taking out my own phone to highlight the point in case his tiny brain couldn't comprehend what I just mouthed to him.
Nervously looking into his phone. Tobe fearfully nodded his head and backed off, getting the message and leaving the pair of gamers to wonder what had just happened.
"What a pussy." I quietly chuckled to myself, not bothering to face Yuigahama who shot a disapproving look my way. I could have sworn I heard her say 'that wasn't necessary' for a second. Sadly for the both of them, indirectly torturing Tobe is one of my favorite ways to pass the time if I was forced to endure his presence.
"Come on Hayato." A feminine voice suddenly whined out in a typical blonde fashion. "Can't you, like skip club this time?"
Oh great a blonde. Speaks like one sure enough.
"I'm sorry but I have practice today." Hayama replied with his fake charm. "The school's football team (I refuse to use the 'S' word) just made it to the finals. I can't miss practice if I have nothing important going on."
"But Hayato. 41 is having this deal for people who buy a lot. It's just for a day." Yumiko said, trying to convince him using that pompous tone of hers. "And I want the chocolate and chocolat one."
"Isn't that both chocolate?" Hayama asked with a charming tone.
"No way, they're like totes different." Yumiko said. "And I'm really hungry as well."
"Explains your waistline." I muttered to myself with an eyeroll.
"I'm really sorry Yumiko, I can't go today. Besides, you shouldn't eat so much. Aren't you afraid of gaining weight?" Hayama asked.
"No way, I'm never getting fat. No matter how much I eat." Yumiko declared both proudly and stupidly.
Has the intelligence of your typical dumb blond as well, why am I not surprised?
"Yeah Yumiko, you're like an angel. And those legs as well. You should be a model someday." Yui praised like a complete suck-up. Much to Miura's delight. "Anyways I gotta go now, I need to meet-"
"Right?" Yumiko rudely interrupted. "But then again, I heard that Yukinoshita from class 2-J is pretty cute too."
Yukinoshita? Why bring her up all of a sudden? I think I sense a few insecurities.
"Uh...Y-yeah, I guess Yukinon-"
"Yukinon?" Yumiko questioned dangerously when the nickname was mentioned. Causing Yuigahama to chuckle nervously.
"N-no it's just when compared to you she's not as pretty ya know?" Yui said in an attempt to calm the situation.
I don't think ass-kissing is going to work in this scenario Yuigahama, that one trigger word was more than enough. Trust me, I had to memorize which words triggered Hiratsuka-Sensei for a whole year.
"What's the matter?" Hayama stepped in, placing a hand on Miura's shoulder and giving her a 'prince charming' smile. "Why not I just join you after practice? Sounds good?"
"Okay Hayato." Yumiko replied, her expression changing to a smile when she faced him. Much to Yuigahama's relief.
"Do you need help?" I quietly mouthed with Yuigahama nervously shaking her head in refusal. Fair enough, I could destroy her precious status with her peers in an instant if I stepped in for her.
"Uh, I'm sorry Yumiko but I got somewhere to be so-" Yuigahama didn't even get to finish her sentence before Miura cut her off again.
"Really? Then can you get me that lemon tea that I like when you come back?" Yumiko asked but the pompous tone she used on Yuigahama made it sound more like a demand instead.
"I-I'm sorry but I won't be back till fifth period so..." Yui said, nervously scratching the back of her head.
"Okay what gives Yui? You haven't been hanging out with us recently, what? You suddenly hate hanging with us or something?" Yumiko questioned.
"I-I'm sorry if you feel that way. It's just-" Yui couldn't even complete her sentence without being interrupted once again.
"Stop saying sorry Yui, it's seriously really annoying." Yumiko sneered. "If you got something to say? Then say it."
Meanwhile, while Yuigahama is getting verbally abused. Everyone else simply stared at the group like a bunch of retarded puppies. Even that faker than Chinese knockoffs Hayama isn't doing anything to defuse the situation and he's supposed to be the 'white knight' or 'prince charming' of the school.
"Huh, what a joke." I muttered as I stood up to speak in Yuigahama's defense, deciding that enough was enough. After all, as much as I hate to admit it. I can't stand seeing a girl cry. "Hey, do you mind-"
"Shut up creep." Yumiko sneered with a viper's glare. Unfortunately for her, that won't be enough to silence me.
"Get out." I simply said to Yuigahama, who in turn gave me a look of complete shock and horror. "You have places to be right? Then get out. I'm not doing this in your defense, I just can't stand all the barking right now from that stupid blond bimbo on the chair." I know she's an air-head, but I hope at the very least, she understands what I'm trying to do here.
"O-okay." Yui answered, quickly dashing out of the classroom. Leaving me alone to have a showdown with the tiger.
"And who the hell are you to boss my friends around?" Yumiko asked with a sharp glare.
"Just someone who plans on teaching you the pecking order in this classroom." I simply stated.
"Pecking order? You make like no sense loser." Yumiko snorted.
"I don't expect a girl who can't tell the difference between two chocolate flavors to understand anything." I retorted with a scowl. "But then again, I shouldn't blame you. Stupidity is common amongst blonde teens."
"You son of a bitch." Yumiko sneered with another viper glare.
"I would be one if I was your son." I retorted with a glare of my own.
"Did you just call me a bitch?" Yumiko asked dangerously.
"And they say Yuigahama's the retarded one." I loudly said, cranking up Muira's anger to 11. "I don't see why you're so offended though? I think it's an accurate description considering you look, act and smell like one."
"Why you little..." Yumiko growled, obviously angered by the comment.
"How cute, she's growling at me everyone. You know it's oddly fitting considering all you pussies are too terrified to speak up against this whore. Truly cats do fear dogs." I proclaimed, earning the ire of everyone in the classroom although they were still too nervous to speak up against me.
"Uh Hikitani-Kun." Tobe timidly spoke up. Where did he find the courage I wonder? "I-I think that's enough bro-"
"Ah Tobe, it looks like the worm is slowly turning. I'm actually impressed you found the nerve to talk back to me." I interrupted. "Although I would suggest taking some tips on how to be an actual man from Miura over here, she's clearly doing a better job than you. But all jokes aside, keep that mouth of yours shut unless you want a repeat of what happened back in the arcade."
"*Gulp* I-I'm sorry man, I'll leave." Tobe stuttered in fear, much to the sheer disbelief of his peers. Quickly running out of the classroom and nearly tripping over in the process.
"Idiot." I chuckled, turning to face Muira who quickly changed her look of disbelief to pure anger once again.
"Don't talk to my friends like that you asshole." Yumiko said in an attempt to defend Tobe.
"So now you care about your friends?" I sarcastically asked. "Didn't look that way when you were talking down to Yuigahama."
"I-I just want my friend to hang out with me more. What's wrong with that?" Yumiko questioned, looking away from me.
"You know what I think? I think you have separation anxiety. You can't stand it when your friends refuse to accompany you for an extended period of time because it reminded you of how your father left if my hunch is correct." I sarcastically commented, weirdly enough. Miura has suddenly gone quiet.
"Shut up." She quietly said, looking down on her desk though her change of behavior is pointless considering I'm still going to mock her.
"So I am right? Your father did leave you?" I asked, the sarcasm in my tone clear to everyone in the room. "Bet he left you after realizing his only daughter's destiny is to be a street whore in the red light district. Don't be sad, sleeping around with men twice your age is still a profession..."
"Shut up." Yumiko said again, her voice slowly increasing in volume.
"I think that's enough Hikitani-Kun." Hayama said, grabbing my shoulder and giving me a firm look. Trying to get me to stand down.
"Oh please you had your chance to speak up, now it's my turn." I retorted, moving my shoulder as I continued. "You know it's sad really. Even if you do end up succeeding in life. There's one thing that'll never change."
"That's enough Hikigaya!" I heard a firm and authoritative voice call out. Unfortunately I was too engrossed to bother noticing who had just called me out.
"That you will always be your dad's unwanted trash, no matter how hard you try to prove otherwise." I simply stated before I felt myself being turned around. Suddenly feeling a sharp pain stinging my cheek soon after.
"Enough Hikigaya." Hiratsuka-Sensei said, her hand outstretched. Meanwhile Yuigahama and Yukinoshita stood behind her, looking completely shocked at me. "You've done enough."
"What are you talking about?" I asked. Just as I said that, Yuigahama quickly ran towards Miura with a concerned expression on her face. The sounds of sniffling reaching my ears a mere moment later.
"Oh." I responded in understanding. Not even bothering to look back at the scene. "I fucked up didn't I?"
Side note: I know I made him a complete asshole at the last part of this chapter but please trust me. I have an idea on how to improve their relationship in future chapters.
