After class I left the room telling Yua that I was going to go fix my phone. As I walked through the halls I saw Fumino standing near the entrance as multiple students left. Shit, I could just leave by going to the field then entering the small forest, but that'll take too much time and I need this phone repaired quickly. I bet she's mad at me, I have been avoiding her for some time, not just that but she also chased me that one time. It's better to confront her then to wait for her to kill me. I walked towards her as I began to sweat, I heard students talking to their friends, their voices getting louder and louder as I got to the entrance where I stood as me and Fumino made eye contact. I waved at her, Fumino instantly slammed me into the school wall. People began to look at us, I couldn't say anything at that moment since I gave Icho her phone back, I reached into her bag as she blushed and looked at me weirdly, I took out her phone, she didn't have a lock on so I went into the translator app, "Hiro explain why you've been ignoring me for some time," she said as she pulled out a knife and placed it near my stomach.
No one but me and her could see it, "I'll tell you why just please let go of me," I typed then pressed text to speech. The translator app is now my voice for the time being, "you've made me crazy these past hours, you've made me go near my limit, you almost made me do things that would have gotten me sent to prison," she said as she smiled at me, her eyes were the eyes of a hungry lion about to devour its meal. "I'll tell you on the way please, just let me go," I said. She let go of me, people stopped staring at us and continued doing what they were doing, "alright but you better buy me some sweets," she said, "ok but follow me, where going some place first," I said as I walked past her, she started following me as we left the school, "last time I saw you was when you chased me around, hahaha—," I said, "yes I remember that, that wasn't too long ago," she said, "ok now that there's barely anyone here, I need you to make sure of something," I said.
"What do you need Hiro," she said with a smile on her face as she grabbed onto my arm and rubbed her head on it. "Your strong, fast, and know how to ki— I mean fight, I need you to check around and see if anyone is following us," I said, she quickly let go of me and climbed onto a pole nearby, ran around the area looking and ran back to me, as she ran she jumped up into the air, I caught her as she kept hugging onto me. "I appreciate you looking around but why are you clinging onto me so much," I said, she opened her eyes and looked at me creepily, "I need this, if I can't do this to you to make up for the lost time I couldn't have with you, I would have killed you right now." She then closed her eyes, smiled at me and put her head onto my chest, "fair enough," I said, I'd rather have this than die and have everything I did be for waste. "Can you at least grab onto my arm, I can't walk with you like this," she got off me and grabbed my arm again, "ok," she said in a soft tone. "The reason why I asked you to look around is because...
I ended up telling Fumino everything that happened, my plans, and my next move, the only thing I didn't tell her were the small moments that would make her stab me at the moment. "Why would Principle Hina do this to you!?" She asked, "I don't know, she wants me and you to be together, if we're not then I'll end up dying tomorrow," I said, she looked at me, "do you not like me?" She asked, "why do you ask?" I replied, "none of this would have happened if you just, if you just, asked me out, if we became something," she stopped holding onto my arms and got in front of me. "It's not that I don't like you, it's just that I'm not ready for a relationship at this moment," I said, she looked down at the ground, "it's fine," she turned around, "Fumino," I said as I tried to reach out towards her, "I'm in love with you, I'm sure you've noticed it," she turned around to face me, "I really really really love you, if you don't feel the same then that's fine." She said, I grabbed onto her shoulders and looked at her, "I'm So—," "I'll just make you love me," she said with a psychotic smile on her face, I quickly let go of her and back up a few steps. What the hell! I yelled inside my mind, she walked towards me, "I'll help you out any way I can, I don't need Principle Hina to make you fall in love with me, I can easily do that, but she's hurt you, she's killing you, I want you to know," she faced me, "I'M THE ONLY ONE THAT CAN DO THAT TO YOU!" she yelled, she then started to laugh out loud, I clenched my fist and looked at her.
"I know," I said, "I don't have much time, the repair shop is near here," I said as I walked past her, she stared at me, "aren't you coming with me? I gotta buy you some sweets," I said as I saw her blush. She ran towards me and grabbed onto my arm once again, we walked the entire way without saying anything, I went into the shop as Fumino stayed outside the shop, "what can I do for you," said a man behind the counter with a pair of goggles on top of his head with a lollipop in his mouth, he had baggy clothes and blonde hair. I smile at him as I take out my busted phone and hand it to him.
"Shit what happened here?" He asked, I took out Fumino's phone and went to text to speech on the translator app, I then said, "I need this phone to be fixed, when do you think it can be done?" The man looked at me weirdly, "that's a bit weird but since I don't know much about your situations I'll just do my job, the names Bradly, I'm a foreigner from the west who came here 3 years ago, I'm not sure if my Japanese is good or not but I always act like it is. Now then I can get this fixed by tomorrow in the afternoon." He said, shit that's too late, "how much is it gonna cost?" I asked, "5,000 yen I'm pretty sure, the change from usd to yen confuses me," he said, I only have 15,000 yen from what my mother has given me, "how much would it cost to get it done early in the morning," I said as I looked at him with a scared look. "I can tell something serious is going to happen to you, it'll take some time off my sleep but, 10,000 yen and I'll get it done by 11 am," he said. "Deal," I said as I handed him the money I had, "pleasure doing business with you," he said as he put the money in the cash register.
I walk towards the doors I came in, "before you go I just need to say something," Bradley says as I turn to face him. "I can tell that whatever you're going through is serious based on your facial expressions, be careful out there, you seem like a good kid." He said, I nodded at him and opened the doors. Too bad that's not what I am, I looked down at the ground as Fumino lifted my head up, "let's go," she said, we walked till we made it to a cafe, we entered, and sat down on some seats, ordered, then waited till the coffee and sweets came. She started to eat as I looked at my coffee. "Are you okay?" She asks me as she bites into her doughnut, I nod saying yes, "then why don't you look ok, you look worried," I take out her phone, "I'm just worried about tomorrow since it's the big and final day. I'm not sure I'm ready," she looked at me, "open your mouth, ahhhhh," she said, I followed her order and opened my mouth, she then shoved a doughnut in there, "you don't have to worry Hiro, you have me. I won't let anything happen to you, as long as you have me nothing else matters, we'll get the serum and cure your disease, just don't worry about it," she said, I bite onto the doughnut in my mouth and chew it. Maybe she's right, I have my friends helping me out, they're all strong and they trust me, not just that but I also have the metal ball in case anything goes wrong. Only problem is that I'll have to wake up early in the morning to go get it. Tomorrow is my last day alive, unless I change that.
