Rinse couldn't shake the thought of what Ishi did yesterday. How did that boy not get himself beaten up? All the things he said certainly wasn't to be nice, yet he was able to win the battle with words. There was no way she couldn't talk to him about that, which is the first thing she did when they got to their first break from class.
"What was that all about?" She asked him. "You know, yesterday after school."
"You're still on about that?" He wasn't in much of a mood to talk as he rested his head atop his right hand. "What's there to talk about? The dude wanted to hurt me, so I just told him the truth."
"But how did you even know all that?" It made no sense to her. He didn't seem to talk with a lot of people, so the rumor mill was out of the question. And he didn't seem particularly close to the boy either, so there was no way that person confided anything with him.
"I don't think I'm-" He was cut off by the oohs and aahs from the rest of the classmates. It was the boy from yesterday that threatened Ishi coming in. Everyone was wondering why he would be coming in here of all places. Especially during their first break. Rinse felt her heart tightened, as she feared that he might be here to finish the job. That perhaps her seatmate wasn't as successful as they believed him to be.
Ishi didn't react to the appearance, outside of quieting down. He didn't even turn to look at the boy, instead his gaze was pointed to the location where he knew were going to go down at. This boy wasn't looking for him, he was heading towards a spot not far in front of him. He stopped right in front of a desk where a girl was sitting at.
"E-eh?" She was shocked to see him here of all places. The girl wasn't exactly known for her looks. Her fashion choice was tame, her body was a bit chubby, and those glasses made her look like a dork. This was the last person everyone but Ishi would've thought this boy would go to. "I-Izuru, wh-what are you doing here?" She whispered quietly, feeling all the eyes on her.
"Fuma." He placed both his hands down around her desk. "Please... I'd like to ask you, if you would like to go out with me?" The question certainly was a shock to everyone in the room. No one could believe it, this had be some type of joke.
"You're kidding, right?" One of them asked.
"Yeah, you're just messing with all of us, right?"
"No!" He was resolute against their assumptions. "The truth is... I really like Fuma, and I'd really would like to be her boyfriend." Izuru was dead serious, his tone made that clear as day. The entire room was stunned into silence, as he returned to the person that he cared about. "So, I would like it if you could accept this confession."
"Oh, Izuru." Her voice was breaking up. "Of course I will." She got up and took both of his hands. This turned out to be quite the happy ending after all.
"Isuru and Fuma, that's definitely not a couple I ever saw coming." Otoya had a laugh about the scene he had the privilege of watching.
"But you did." Rinse was astounded by Ishi's apparently knowledge. How could he be able to gather that type of information being the type of person he was.
"I wasn't going to tell you, but I guess after that. Everyone deserves an explanation to what just happened." Hearing him say that, everyone student in the classroom turned towards him. "Okay, I was only planning on telling this to just Hattori and Otoya, but I guess this is fine."
He wasn't one to be the one spreading rumors, but now the truth was out. So might as well make sure the story was understood when this got around the school. It all began in the library of all places. "By the way, if you ever see me in the library. Don't talk to me." Ishi wanted to make sure that point was made first.
