Hall Pass - an Ishimondo love story

revelations p.2

- Ishimaru's P.O.V. -

Me and mondo were still in that half hug when we heard the door knob. Since Mondo had locked it, it just went back and forth, trying to open.
- Hey, Mondo, bro, you there?
Leon's voice could be heard from inside the bathroom. I started to freak out. If he sees me in here with Mondo he would beat me to dead.
     - H-hey, Mondo... I'm not feeling very well... i'll stay in here... you have practice anyways, right? - I try to convince him to go out of the bathroom before me, that way Leon wouldn't see me there.
     - Ah? Well, yeah, alright, dude... Just... be careful, k'?
     I nod in response, he then playfully messes my hair, and go towards the bathroom door, unlocking it again. My plan did not go as well as I had expected it to. Leon had seen me, and I could feel his anger, even if we had made contact for a few seconds.
     - Yeah, what is it man, common? You good? - Mondo says.
     - You're about to be late for training, dumbass, let's go. - Leon smirks and crosses his arms on Mondo's. Was this just to make me angry?
     Well it had worked. I was indeed a bit angry. But, in fact, I was more scared. He had seen me, and, I know I'm stronger then Leon. I could win this easily. Yet, I had this little feeling of doubt.
     I finally get out of the bathroom, being greeted by a small little man. Chihiro.
     - Ishimaru, is everything all right? You took so long in there... - I could see by his tone that he was worried.
     - Do not worry, Fujisaki, I'm perfectly good, just nervous about some stuff, that's all. - I say, quickly checking my wrist clock. - Chihiro, isn't your cheerleading audition at 8am? - I ask.
      - Um... yes... why? - he quickly looks at his own time marking machine. - Oh my Lord, let's go, Taka, hurry! - he says, in a mix of worrying and excitement.
     I let a small scream, followed by laughter as the small one pushes me around all the way til' the sports court. There could be seen girls, and girls, and more girls, all in small tank tops and skirts. Are this types of clothing really comfortable for doing such sport? I ask myself.
     Chihiro goes on a line with some of the girls who would try to enter the team. while I sit on the benches there was, waiting excitedly for Chihiro's turn to go. But, as much as I was hoping he would enter the cheerleading team, I was a little worried about Junko and her friends being there. Junko was the captain after all.
     A few minutes go by and it's finally Chihiro's turn. He performed "born this way" by Lady Gaga. It had a nice beat, really nice for the type of dancing he would be doing. And damn, was he good. He was strong and flexible, basically everything they would need on the new member for the team. Someone who could follow their steps on the dance, as well as being strong enough to lift them up.
     For no one's surprise, Chihiro actually managed to get into the team. Couldn't be more proud of my best friend. Although I was still a little sketchy on him having to be around those toxic cheerleaders.
     I decide to take my thoughts out of the way, going towards him, and giving him a big, comfortable hug. Smiling to him as I see the excitement and happiness on his face. Adorable.
     - Congratulations, Fujisaki!  - I say in excitement. - Are you performing tonight?
     - I know, right?! I did it! I did it, Taka! - he tells, smiling. - Oh, and also, no, I don't think so.
     I just smile back, as we can hear Junko starting to call on everyone to start practice. I separate my hug from Chihiro, and walked away, waving him goodbye, smiling, I was so very proud of him.
     I was just walking around the corridors, about to leave school for the day when I see Leon, all by himself, no one else around.
     - Oh, if it isn't mr. gay boy. - he laughs.
     - What...? - I ask, confused.
     - Oh, stupid, now I know why you act like that around Mondo all the time... you're in love, with a man. Pathetic. - he says, laughing. - Well... I wouldn't say I'm less then what you are... - he gets closer to me, putting his hand on my cheek.
     - Kuwata, I'll have to ask you to move away from me, please. - I try to politely get away.
     - Oh but what's the fun in that, mr.? Talking about fun... let's have a little, shall we? - he laughs, in an uneasy tone, making me scared.
     - What do you mean, Kuwata? - my voice was trembling a little, I was scared.
     He just had his hand over my mouth, and one pushing me against his body, having it on my waist. I was super uncomfortable, and I tried to scream, but for some reason, I couldn't. He throws me on a classroom, an empty one, and closes the door, locking it.
     He was touching me indecently, on ways I did not gave consent for him to. He had covered my mouth, and no matter how much I screamed and cried, no one seemed to listen.
     Some more minutes went into this and he seemed what was like bored, so he finally released me, putting his clothes back on, and expecting me to do the same. Then, taking the cloth he used to cover my mouth out of it.
     - Now, if someone hears about this you're dead. Got it? - he sounded scary. No... He was scary in fact.
     I just nodded, not being able to hold my body by itself, making me fall to my knees while crying, trying my best not to be so loud. I knew that he was true when he said he would kill me if I told anyone, so I decided to hold onto that, and keep silent.
     After some little time, I managed to stand up, and leave the classroom, walking out of the school, just to see Mondo, Leon and some others of their friends.
     - Oh, hey, nerd, see ya' at the game tonight? - Mondo asks me.
     I was still really scared about what had just happened, I was overwhelmed, and confused, and seeing Leon stand there as if nothing happened made me feel physically bad. So I decided to ignore Mondo, and just kept walking, with my head down.
     - Ay, dude. - Mondo still refers to me.
     - Just let him, bro. Looks like he doesn't want to tell us nothing. - I could hear that as Leon's voice.
     What he said really got into me. I stopped walking and turned to them, revealing my tired and traumatized face, full of tears, just staring at them both. I could see Mondo's smile vanished, and also did Leon's. Mondo seemed worried, while Leon seemed... scared.
     I just turned back to the street and continued to walk my way to my house. I couldn't help but to cry the entire path until I got home. I didn't even bother to scream my father's name today, I just headed to my bathroom, to take a bath, trying to get the image of Leon's body against mine, and the way he had touched me, out of my thoughts.
     After I finish my shower I just went back to bed, sitting on it, and looking at my wrist. I couldn't help myself but to cry over it again. This day had been the worst of all, in every way possible.
     I fully lay down, looking at the ceiling and thinking if it's worth of it to go at the game tonight. I'd see Mondo, but i'd also see Leon. I was so tired I decided not to go.

- Mondo's P.O.V. -

     Looking at Ishimaru's face like that felt so heavy. I looked by my side and see Leon's smile desapear into a fearful look. What had he done to Kiyotaka this time...? Either way, it looked bad. His cute, happy introducing smile was now turned into such a tiredness and unhappy one.
     I wanted to talk to him, but I was too weak to do so, I just couldn't find the courage. I just saw him walk away, not being able to do anything about it.
     - Damn... I wonder what happened... Geez, but let's not make that weird nerd interfere on our amazing game night, right, bro? - Leon says, referring to me.
     I stared at him, making a few minutes of silence between us.
     - You do not just act like nothing happened, asshole. His face, he was in total despair. Well. Anyways, too bad you don't care about him, cause I do. Do not expect me in the game tonight. - I respond.
     I walk into the school, not giving Leon a single chance to talk. In fact, I walked into the coordenation members room, to be exact. They had information on each and every student of the school. I just had to get Ishimaru's address now. And so I did. It wasn't hard at all.
     I ran out of the school and jumped in my bike, riding all the way to Ishimaru's house.
