High school Sweethearts - Niragi

Chapter 5: Don't know why, but I just do

Class has finally ended and everyone was dismissed.

Except me of course. The teacher had to assign me over anyone else to sweep the class because I wasn't paying enough attention lately. I already told my friends they shouldn't wait for me because I was going to take a while anyways. I started sweeping the classroom as I saw students leaving the building, happily chatting and laughing when I had to do this stupid task.

"Stupid teacher. Stupid sweeping brush. Stupid class", I said frowning while starting to do what I had to do.

------ Niragi pov ------

I was the last one to leave the classroom and calmly made my way downstairs as there was barely anyone around anymore. I was walking down the ground floor hallway as I felt people coming up behind me. Even before I could turn around to take a look I was rammed into the lockers next to me as the person grabbed me by my shirt and pressed me into the lockers even harder. It was them.

"Is little Niragi so scared he has to start snitching now?", Daichi mockingly said.

"I-..I.. didn't do anything", I got out while shaking in fear.

They all let out a few subtle laughs.

--"Niragi~ your beloved Y/N told us herself!", a different member spoke out.

"please...I'm sorry... I'll keep quiet...", I said while trying not to break down, but immediately as that sentence left my mouth I got struck in the face by Daichi's fist, making me fall to the side. His friends all started laughing at me. He grabbed me by the collar again and dragged me back up my feet.

-"Listen here you useless shit, I think you should stay away from Y/N now, okay?", he threatened me, his face a few centimeters from mine. "Or does our Niragi have a crush on her huh?", one of the others mockingly said while the others were still laughing at me.

"You're such a bad listener you know that?", said a voice that came out of nowhere. Everyone quickly turned their heads in the direction of the voice.

It's her.

------------------- Y/N pov --------------------

I finally finished cleaning the entire classroom as ten minutes had already passed.

Finally please I can go home.

I left the classroom and made my way to the stairs that led downstairs. I was descending the stairs when I suddenly heard voices coming from the ground floor hallway.

Eh? I thought everyone had left already?

I reached the bottom of the stairs and walked down the hallway until I could see a group of boys in the distance which made me stop in my tracks.

-"Listen here you useless shit, I think you should stay away from Y/N now, okay?".

-- "Or does our Niragi have a crush on her huh?"

Of course it's Daichi and co again.

Wait a minute, is that Niragi?

I could feel a slight amount of anger building up inside me and walked straight up to them.

"You're such a bad listener you know that?", I said as I stood behind them with my arms crossed. Everyone turned their heads in my direction and I could see Niragi's desperate expression. Daichi quickly dropped Niragi which made him fall to his knees.

-"Are you interfering with other people's business again Y/N?".

"This is my business. You're bothering someone I care about", I neutrally said.

His expression then turned from tough to confused.

-"Him? You care about someone like him?". Niragi cautiously got back up behind them.

"I'll ask you once again yeah, Fuck off would you?", I stated clearly.

-"I'm sorry what did you say?", he took a step closer.

I also took a step closer having to repeat myself: "I saaaid~ "

"Fuck off would you?", I stated with a emotionless expression before quickly going over to Niragi and grabbing his wrist to drag him outside with me.

I kept walking further from the school until I found a quiet place and stopped.

"Are you okay?", I asked, slightly panting.

-"Yeah...", he answered quietly, as he was still slightly shaking.

I noticed the bruise on his face. "He.. hurt you didn't he?", I reached my hand to cup his face and caressed his bruised cheek.

I have to admit. I kind of feel bad. Don't know why, but I just do.

-"He wants me to stay away from you Y/N. You should probably just stop hanging out with me already".

"But I don't want to, Niragi", "Do you really think I'll let him decide who can and who can't hang out with me?", I said looking straight into his eyes. "I don't even want anything to do with him!".

He didn't say anything, he just looked at me, his eyes still showing sorrow.

"Look, I will keep my promise no matter what, okay? We're still friends", I grabbed his hand and took his pinky to hook it with mine. "Okay?", I said again slightly smiling.

-"Okay", he replied also showing a slight smile.

'Still friends'

For now
