Chapter 21: Tailing

  This time no one stopped me at the school gates, I quickly went inside the school hiding my cast with my hand and passed students quickly. I arrived at my classroom still hiding my cast and slid the door, everyone looked at me then went back to what they were doing. "Hey man, were you able to watch yesterday's episode? It was such a badass episode!" Uzami said as I passed him, "hey man are you good?" I stopped hiding my cast and took off my bag, Uzami gasped, "what happened to your neck!?" Yua stood up from her seat as she pointed at me. The whole classroom then looked at me and started asking me questions that I couldn't respond to. Mrs. Hyomi came into the room, "alright class settle down," the classroom went back to their seats, "Itsuki your doctor informed me about what happened so if at any point you start to get sick head to the nurses office." She said, I shook my head when she finished.
"Hey, dude," Uzami whispered at me, I turned to him, "what happened to you?" He asked quietly, I can't speak so I just shook my head and continued to pay attention in class. "Hey Hiro here," Uzami gave me a small note from Yua, I grabbed it and opened it up. "What happened to you Baka, why did you come to school like that?" I wrote back, "something happened to my throat when I was going home, it's only temporary though, don't worry about it." I handed it back to Uzami and looked at Mrs. Hyomi giving her lecture. Can you believe she's single? Wait no Itsuki, this isn't the right time to think about girls, I need to make a plan. During lunch I'll try and look for Haru and see where he usually leaves his belongings. When I figure that out before school finishes I can look for it, the soccer club has their own room so it'll be hard to go inside.
I'll have to apologize to Fumino later since I'm skipping our lunch. A note was thrown at my head, I grabbed it and read, "I'm glad you're okay, but not in anything romantic baka, like I would ever like you!" I turned my head slowly to face her, she was paying attention in class, "Itsuki you might not be able to do much in your condition but can you please stop looking at Yua." Mrs. Hyomi said out loud as I looked at my feet embarrassed, me and my luck. I gave a fast glance at Yua and saw her blushing while being embarrassed.
Lunch period starts in a few minutes, I look at the clock and back at Mrs. Hyomi as she continues with her lesson, my heart starts to beat fast, it's almost time, do I have any idea where Haru would be? The only places I know where he could be is the soccer club room or out in the field. Which one should I go to first? Alright let's think more reasonably here, it's lunch period so he should be eating lunch, either in his classroom or the soccer club. The only problem I have is that I don't know what class he's in. I should ask Uzami, maybe he might know? I rip out a small sheet of paper and write, "this might sound like a weird question but, do you happen to know the classroom Haru is in, the soccer player." I pass the note to Uzami, he reads it then writes down something and hands it to me.
"What? No, I don't know, what type of question was that?" Alright Uzami doesn't know, what about Mrs. Hyomi, maybe she knows? Should I ask her? I don't know if she's being ordered around by Principle Hina, in case she is she'll be cruel to me, but she hasn't been mean to me yet. There's also the possibility that Mrs. Hyomi doesn't know. "Itsuki stop playing around and pay attention to my lesson!" Mrs. Hyomi screamed at me as the bell rang. "Woho lunch time," a student said as he stood up, most students stood from their seats and walked to other students and started talking with them. I quickly grabbed a sheet of paper and wrote, "do you happen to know where Haru, year 3, in the soccer club, happens to be?"
"what are you writing there?" Uzami asked as both he and Yua got to my table. I stand up and ignore them as they look at me in silence. I can't be wasting too much time, every second counts. I hand the note over to Mrs. Hyomi, she reads it then looks at me, "why do you need that information?" She asked, I took back the sheet of paper and wrote down, "he's supposed to help me with my condition," I lied. She read the note then looked at me strangely, "I don't know much but he's either in the soccer club room or in the storage room outside," She said.
I quickly wrote, "thank you," left the sheet of paper then left the room leaving my stuff. I'll check on the soccer club room, if I remember correctly it should be in D hall, I walked up stairs till I made it to the fourth floor. I walked classroom to classroom, the only thing I saw were students eating lunch, I kept looking around till I found the room and pressed my ears on the door. I couldn't hear anything, it didn't sound like someone was in there, I slid the door open, no one was there, I went inside, the room had soccer supplies and a table set up with a few lockers inside. I slid the door closed and opened the locker, the only thing I found was a book bag. I grabbed the bag and opened it.
I found chips, soda, clothes, and a phone inside. I put the bag down and looked around the room, I couldn't find anything. "Hey hold up, I'm going to go get my bag," a student outside said, I started to shake, I put the bag on the table and ran into the locker and closed it slightly. The door slid open, using the small locker hole I managed to see the student walk to the table. "Why is my bag here? Wasn't it in the locker," he said, "hey, wasn't my bag in my locker?" He yelled, "I don't know, maybe someone moved it, either way you got your bag now let's go." The student outside the classroom said.
"Alright just wait a second," "hurry up!" The student outside yelled impatiently, the student walked around the room as I stood there trying to calm my nerves. The student walked towards the locker and stared at it for a moment, the student reached his hand out and touched the handle, "hey dude we have to go!" The other student ran into the room and pulled him away from the room, "we have a meeting at the storage room outside," was the last thing I heard. I quickly got out of the locker and went out of the room. I have my next clue, I started to follow them, being as sneaky as I could. We made it outside where I hid in the trees and bushes trying not to be caught, "do you have any idea what this meeting is about?" "I only got a small message from the captain about this." The two said.
They opened the door and walked inside, the storage was big, enough to fit twenty people inside. I looked around and saw the field empty, I walked to the side of the storage staying hidden and pressed my ear to the wall. "Alright is everyone here?" Someone said, "no we're missing Haru, he said he would be back in just a moment." Another person said, "oh c'mon I need to be with my girlfriend right now!" Someone else said.
"Oh shut up about your girlfriend, you got together 3 days ago and you keep missing out on activities." "Hey man, don't be jealous that I managed to get one before you!" What am I listening to right now? "Anyway, captain why are we here?" I heard someone stand up, "I'll tell you guys when Haru gets back, in the meanwhile eat your lunches if you brought them." The captain said, "if we had to wait I could have finished lunch with my girlfriend right now," the same student said. I heard footsteps getting near, the meeting was about to begin.
