"Are you okay?"

Your father's voice broke you out of your daze as you stared out of the window of the back seat, thinking about Sabito

"Yeah" you lie

Sabito, the boy who'd taken care of you and put your safety first for so long. Teenage boys don't do that sort of thing for just any girl. Why couldn't you see it earlier; that he liked you, too?

It was a conclusion you'd never expected to be pleased to have reached. Only once had it crossed your mind, his feelings for you. But you never thought he'd do this.

It troubles you to think about because since his confession was so hasty...perhaps he's already preparing for his premature death

You shook your head vigorously as if to rid your head of the thought

"That's ridiculous...he can't die. He won't." You mumble

You curl up in the back seat and hug your knees close to your chest

I want to go on a date with him...but what if something happens?! And what about Makomo? There's too much at stake

But also...Tanjiro...

You swallow hard

Well, I'm sure Tanjiro wouldn't mind. I'm just a friend to him. Nothing else

Your phone buzzes in your pocket, and you waste no time at all checking your notifications

The group chat...!

Nezuko: hey. Is everyone doing okay?

Tanjiroo: yea

You: yep

Nezuko: good, cause...I just thought of something

You: what is it?

Nezuko: well,

Nezuko: remember when you first started talking to us and you mentioned someone who had it out for you? You know, like they wanted to make all these rumors and stuff

Ah!! I almost forgot about that you thought, remembering your little scuffle with Ume and Genya geez, a lot of people had it out for me.

You: yes? ☹️

Nezuko: I've been thinking about it a lot and I think I know exactly who did it

You: wha?!

Tanjiroo: seriously?

Nezuko: yup

You: well, who is it then?!

Nezuko: ....I can't exactly say for sure. I have a hunch, but if I say it now, it'd be really bad if I was wrong 😓

Tanjiroo: ah I get it

You: what's the point of saying anything at all then?

Nezuko: ah...I guess you're right

You rolled your eyes in annoyance and shut your phone off, tucking it away without checking it again. Any longer and you might've lashed out at the poor girl

I want it all to be over. Please, let this madness end soon

The next morning you arrive at school with a blank expression, unable to think. You didn't really feel sad, or angry, or anything at all.
