you arrived back to your next subject after some few breaks, you feel so worried cause you haven't seen caramel yet... and you're basically alone for this subject.and the worst part is, those girls that bully you.. of course they're at the same class as you. to make your life even worser.
you sigh as you had your head low when you're walking pass their table. you thought that you only need to get to your seat to finally feel safe.
but you unexpectedly tripped and hit your elbow to the ground as you used it to protect yourself. but you didn't accidentally tripped. you looked back seeing those girls laughing at you.
you bite your lips as you felt so much pain from your elbow, you sigh as you pick yourself together and was about to stand on your own. but this girl who called you names decided to pull your collar and stand you.
"h-hey! leave me alone" you protested, trying to remove her hands from your collar.
"or what? your going to tell tsumu? like i care bitch" she said glaring at you while having a smirk on her face.
"you probably think we're just going to let you go huh? well your annoying friend is not around you... so who's going to save you now?" she continued teasing you.
"please, leave me alone" you said again, when you felt her grip from your collar tighten.
"eli, come on... leave the poor rat alone" one of the girls said after laughing.
"as if i care? tsumu is mine bitch, it's either you'll break up with him. or i'm going to make your life even worser!" eli threatens you as she pushes you hard making you fall to the ground.
you felt insulted, looking up at them as they look down at you. the room and scene was suffocating you so much that is hard for you to breath. so you stand up and ran away from that room.
while your tears keeps roaming down your cheeks, you didn't care if people see you crying.. you just ran and ran far away from that hell. you want to see atsumu, but at the same time you don't want him to know that you're getting bullied from his fangirls.
cause those girls will only make it worse if they were confronted by atsumu.
you sob as you hugged your legs, finally sitting down on a grass under a bridge that is not that far away from your school. you wanted peace, and this place is the only place you thought that will be quite.
you didn't know why they have to do things like that, all you do is love atsumu... but you weren't expecting this to happen. your elbow is still aching, but your heart feels more pain the your elbow.
but as you stare at the river in front of you, basically questioning your whole existence.. you suddenly got startled when you saw a person coming out from the river.
"help!" the person yelled.
you are shocked, after seeing him struggling to get out of the water. so you went to help the person, but still... you're confused what is he doing there? swimming??
"a-are you okay?" you asked him after finally getting him out of the water.. you tried to look at the person's face but.
he's wearing a mask and a cap... it's hard for you to see.. but then you realized..
you gasped "your the guy, yachan was hitting on earlier!"
the guy looked at you, and has the same expression.. he was shocked seeing you. although you saw his eyes.. you still can't tell who he is.
"w-what are you doing there?" you asked, pointing st the river.
"suicide.." he responded making you widen your eyes.
"b-but your asking for help?" you asked, confused.
"i hate my life!" he whined and lay down on the grass putting his arms on his forehead.
you kinda got curious, like what he looks like? you sat down next to him and hugged your legs.
"i hate my life too, sir.." you whispered.
the person suddenly looked at you, he decided to sit down next to you and looked at your sad face.
"y-your elbow... it's bleeding" he pointed at your elbow.
you looked at it for a second, but after that you didn't even pay that much attention. it's aching, but you don't even give a damn.
"i wish i could give you my handkerchief... but it's also wet" he spoke.
"it's fine, don't worry about it" you smiled feeling weak as fuck. you bite your lips preventing yourself to break down in front of this stranger next to you.
cause that'll be embarrassing.
"you look sad... what happened?" he asked you.
"n-nothing" you brittled.
"i could see tears.."
"it's really nothing, really"
"you could tell me... i mean, i'm a stranger.. it's not like we're going to see each other again"
you sigh, as you finally told him everything.. you feel much relief after taking everything out.. your tears out and your emotions out. the person was just, sincerely listening to you.
you feel like a kid, complaining to your parents about what happened to school today. you felt comfort even though he wasn't saying anything. he was just listening... but it feels like comfort to you.
you never felt this type of comfort, since... suna.
"i'm sorry, i've been talking too much" you wiped your tears chuckling. "i just can't take it anymore"
"it's fine, you need to let it out sometimes.. especially when your drowning" he said slightly patting your back, awkwardly.
"s-say.. why are you committing suicide earlier?" you asked after remembering him almost drowning earlier.
"it's because of this stupid brat that i came to pick up... she gave me so much embarrassment to the point i just wanna end my life there" he complained.
you chuckled from the tone of his voice, he sound like a kid whining and complaining to his mother.
"aren't you uncomfortable? like your mask is wet and so as your cap? why not take it out?"
he shakes his head. "i'm kinda shy"
"why? i don't judge people by their looks" you raised an eyebrow.
"it's not that, i-i just had a bad acne today, it's really bad" he said as an excuse for you to stop making him take off his mask and cap.
"is your house nearby? you know, you're going to get sick if you stayed like that—"
"rin!"
you were cut off by someone calling a name, you and the stranger went to look at that direction and saw caramel, the stranger puts his index finger in front of his mouth.. signaling caramel to shut it. and of course you didn't notice this.
"caramel? oh my gosh!" you are surprised and happy finally seeing her, you went to give her a hug as she responded.
"i'm sorry if i made you worried, it wont happen again" caramel rubs your back as she stares at the stranger.
"by any chance? do you know him? and why'd you call him rin?" you asked, making caramel panic.
"h-he's my b-brother! he came t-to visit me" she said stuttering as you look back at the stranger. "his name is rin"
"ohh! nice to meet you" you smiled at him.
"a-anyways! rin, let's go home mom is probably worried" caramel said pulling him closer and away from you.
"are you not going to school?" you asked.
"i-i need to take care of him! anyways! bye bye!!" caramel didn't gave you a last glance but instead, ran away with the stranger who just comforted you.
you smiled and waved at them as they both ran away, you sigh as you finally just decided to go home and rest... you just thought of texting atsumu so he knows you already went home.
:tsumu, i went home early... i don't feel good. take care okay? i'll see you home! <3
