To the infinity

Chapter 6

I've been investigating "S" for two weeks now. I look like a stalker but i'm too curious. I know that they go to S about two times in a week and every time at night, I'm also pretty sure that these code names are involved in this which means that Joe and Miya too surely. Langa won't tell me anything if I ask for I don't know what reason but I can make Reki crack, I just need him alone... Here he is!

- Me: "Reki! I was looking for you!"
- Reki: "Hi, what's up?"
- Me: "Are you free this weekend?"
- Reki: " Yes, you want to go somewhere?"
- Me: "Yeah! I heard about a place that looks super cool so I thought we could go!"
- Reki: "Really ? Where ?"
- Me: "It's called S I think."

He's shivering when I say the name of the place, yes!

- Reki: "Sorry I don't know..."
- Me: "Oh, really ? But you know all the cool places around here normally... You don't lie to me by chance?"
- Reki: "N-No I don't know s-sorry..."

He doesn't know how to lie... Hehe, it's all won!

- Me: "Are you sure? There's skateboarding there, I think."
- Reki: "Uh? How do you know that?"

Yes !

- Me: "Oh, so you know! You're taking me?"
- Reki: "Shit... No sorry I can't..."
- Me: "Come on Reki please! Friends don't hide anything, right? At least..."

I don't like to do that but knowing Reki's personality, it can work.

- Me: "Unless you don't consider me as a friend..."
- Reki: "What? No, not at all! You're a great friend! It's just that..."
- Me: "What? You don't trust me?"
- Reki: "Yes but..."
- Me: "So tell me! Please!"

Suddenly I feel someone grabbing me by my uniform, shit...

- Langa: "He said no, so why are you pushing?
- Reki: "Langaaa! I almost said everything, sorry..."

He hides behind Langa and heads down. I admit to being a little ashamed of having forced him, but I want to know.

-Langa: "I told you she can be manipulative whenever she wants. And you, you shouldn't abuse his kindness!"
- Me: "I wouldn't have done this if you had told me what S is! Why can't I know?"
- Langa: "Because it's none of your business."

He looks at me in a cold way, I hate it.

- Me: "A-All right, I see that you don't trust me. In that case I would learn the truth by myself, I don't need you two!"

I turn around and head for the exit door but put me against the wall so they can't see me anymore. You never know if they say anything while I'm gone.

- Reki: "You were a little hard on her... Why can't we tell her? I'm sure she won't say anything."
- Langa: "That's not the problem, she can quickly panic and she can easely beaing worried for nothing. I don't know how she will react when she knows what's going on there..."
- Reki: "You've known her longer than I have but I think you're making her more stressed by not telling her anything."
- Langa: "Maybe... she's not going to give up anyway..."
- Reki: "I hope she's not too upset..."

I'm leaving and going to the hotel, I don't want to see them anymore. I don't understand what they might be doing that I can be worried about. From what I know, S is about skateboarding and they have some kind of code name... Illegal races? Maybe... I need to follow them and see this myself.
I've been dodging them for a few days so I can find clues about when they're going to go to S. I hear Reki and Langa's sight in one of the corridors so I hide to listen to them.

- Langa: "I'm looking for you around 9:00 tonight, okay?"
- Reki: "Okay!"

So it's tonight that my plan is put in place. I feel someone pushing me which makes me enter the field of vision of the two boys. Shit!

- Reki: "Oh, Sarah!"

I ignore him and go to class. I feel sorry for them, but if I talk to them, Langa will directly understand what I want to do. In class I feel Langa's gaze on me and hear him whisper with Reki . They are really not discreet...

- Reki: "She continues to ignore us..."
- Langa: "Don't worry, she'll be fine."
- Reki: "You say that but I can see you don't like it when she avoid you."
- Langa: "I don't know what you're talking about."
- Teacher: "You two, stop talking!"
- Langa+Reki: "Sorry sir!"

If you told me all the truth it would be easier, you idiots!

...

It's the night and I'm heading to Langa's to follow them, today I'll finally have the answers to my questions! Reki arrives and both go skating, fortunately I took my bike so i could follow them. After 30 minutes I think we arrived, they have a kind of security guard and they show him a badge, damn it you have to got a badge to enter... Well I know now where S is  I just need to find this badge but how to... I hear a car honking and headlights approaching me. Uh?

...

God my head! Uh? Where am I?!

-??? "You're finally awake, excuse me, I hit you with my car."
- Me: "Sorry? Who are you? Where are we?"
- ???: "My name is Tadashi Kikushi and we are in a love hotel."
- Me: "A WHAT HOTEL?! D-Don't come near me!"
- Tadashi: "Calm down, I won't hurt you. I just don't want you to press charges or say anything about me or my supervisor will have problems."

He hands me an envelope full of money and starts to leave.

- Tadashi: "There's a hospital not too far away to check on you. On that note, have a good night."
- Me: "Uh? W-Wait!"
- Tadashi: "What?"
- Me: "Do you know S?"
- Tadashi: "Why?"
- Me: "If you give me a badge that allows me to enter I promise not to say anything."
- Tadashi: "All right, hold on. Here, Bye."

He throws me the badge and leaves. I leave the room and the l-love hotel in turn to go to the hospital. While waiting for the doctor I open the envelope and there is a note that say that my bike is completely broken but that I can buy a new one with the money. What a shitty night... At least I have a Badge now hehe! The doctor tells me that I have nothing serious but that I have to take it easy with my arm. I get out of the hospital and sit on a little wall, I'm exhausted... After a long hesitation I decide to pick up my phone and call him.

- Me: "Hello, Langa..."
