It's you

Chapter 8

Time skip brought to you by Erased

Lee’s POV

We went to the park and Satoru just so happen to be there. He ran up to us with something in his hands “I’m having a Birthday Party and I want you guys to come.” I look over to Kayo who just said “S-sure” Kayo continued “it’s easy to talk to you now”. He paused. “Well. . . It’s cause I decided to be honest with you.”

We just looked at him. Kayo turned around and began to run away. Satoru and I yelled out “wait!!”. I went running after her. Satoru yelled out “So I’ll see you guys tomorrow!” She later slowed down and waited for me. “What was that about?” I asked in a monotone voice after catching my breath. “Lee, I think . . . I think that maybe we might have a chance to get away
from the house.”

I just stood there looking at her ‘are you crazy mother and father would never let us go!!’ “maybe Kayo, but you know how they are we rarely even get to go outside unless we get thrown out.” I really hate lying to kayo. I’m is more of a pessimist than an optimist. Kayo sees little to no hope for our parents to stop beating us, however, she still believes they might change.

Satoru’s POV

Someone yelled out “Did you guys hear? The boys are going to race 1 on 1!!” I could hear them from where I was sitting. I was tying the lace to my ice skates. While thinking about a possible date of when the murder of Kayo and Lee happened Hiromi interrupted my thoughts “I bet you
hamada gonna get the fasts time again” I simply responded with a “maybe”. When I got up Mr. Yashiro blew his whistle signaling that the first part of the race was to begin.

Hamada came up to me and just blatantly told me “Don’t expect me to hold back.” I didn’t care if I won or lost so I just said “I know.” ‘Hamada’s on the school’s hockey team. They won the national championship. Come to think of it I did race him’ Mr. Yashiro blew his whistle again interrupting my thoughts about what happened in the past.

Across the ice, I heard someone yell out “Satoru’s gonna race hamada next!!”. “He doesn’t stand a  chance.” I looked over in the general direction of Kayo and Lee for a brief second and Misato was teasing Kayo saying things like “Well Kayo, you gonna cheer your boyfriend on?” All the girls around her began laughing “And what about you Lee, you gonna cheer him on too?” Misato just looked over at Lee “Come on, let’s hear it.”

“Satoru, Lee you got this?” I heard and responded with a “yup I think so.” Kayo then proceed with a “good, you better not suck” ‘what was this some kind of threat?’ I looked back to see if lee was okay. I noticed that lee didn’t have anyone to compete with. “Hamada, Satoru you guys are up now.” The boy behind us said.

We go to our places. Mr. Yashiro started with an “On your mark, Get set” then he blew his whistle. I started out going fast but I slowed down a little due to the fact that I was a little surprised at how fast I was going to have to skate to win. ‘I can do this, I can win. But should I?’ I could hear the crowd just continue to cheer me and Hamada on. ‘He’s the one who been training like a fiend every day. He deserves it.’ I slowed down so Hamada could win the race.

After the race was over Hamada came over to me “You asshole.” He lifted me by my jacket. “What? You think you’re doing me a favor? I hate you” He just stormed off. My friend came over to congratulate me. ‘ I remember . . . I did the same thing 18 years ago.’ I saw Lee walk up to Mr. Yashiro “Sir I don’t have anyone to go against” I skated over to where they were. “I could skate against you.” At the end of the event, Satoru ended up winning because Lee wasn’t trying too hard.
