⚠️TRIGGER WARNING⚠️ MENTIONS OF SEXUAL ASSAULT!!!

Mia's POV:

   "What are you doing here?" I ask through gritted teeth, gripping onto my apron as I watch everyone from my dorm hall walk through the front door of the bakery, grinning ear to ear. 

   "Pfffft... Wow, Mi-chan, you look super cute in the outfit," Haru says, holding back his laughter, hand covering his mouth. 

   I shoot him a glare, causing him to turn pale, hiding behind Hanako, using her as a human shield. She steps on his foot, and he whimpers in pain. 

   My boss pokes her head up from the pastry display case, "Oh, Fujisaki-chan, are those kids your friends?" she asks in her sweet old lady voice. 

    I give her a closed-eyed but fake smile, "No," I say without hesitation.

   "Hmf, you're always so mean to us," Ayame pouts. 

    I give them a threatening smile, "What can I do for you today?" I ask, causing all of them to shiver. 

   Akira walks up to my boss, a confident smirk playing on his shiny lips. He leans over the display case, "Why aren't you a beautiful woman," he compliments with an innocent smile.  

   I glance over to Sato, who walked up to the cash register with a donut, "What's he trying to do?" I ask as I ring up his total. 

   "You'll see," Sato sweats. 

   "Thank you. You're such a sweet boy," my boss says with a bright smile. 

   Akira runs his hand over his hair, "No, you're the sweet one," he says, causing me to hold back a gag, "Say, dear, would it be okay if Mia left now?" 

   "What!?" I yell out. 

   "Of course!" she exclaims, giving me a sweet smile. 

   I put my hands in front of me, "No-no, it's okay. I want to stay," I tell the truth. If those idiots are trying to get me out of work early, then they've cooked up some scheme that I'm better off not being a part of.  

   "Go ahead and take the rest of the day off, dear. You work too hard as it is. It's quite alright if you spend some time with your friends," she says, not knowing that she isn't doing me any favors. 

   "You're too kind, love. Thank you very much for allowing us this wonderful opportunity to relish in each other's presence," Akira says with a satisfied smile. 

   Wonderful, my fucking ass. 

   "It's no problem at all. I've gotten quite lazy since Fujisaki-chan started helping out. This gives me the chance to get off my behind," she chuckles. 

   Akira chuckles in response, "Yes, of course," he smiles. 

   "Well, Mi-Mi-chan, you heard them. Let's go. We've got places to be," Ayame says with a grin. 

   I sigh. Guess I'm not getting out of this one.

   "Why are we at the library?" I ask, gazing at the shelves filled wall to wall with books. 

   This is my first time in the school's library, and it's almost overwhelming. The shelves of books go all the way up to the second story. There are large windows, giving the area an open feeling. Desks and computers are scattered all over when I first walk in.
