Next Day Time 7:35

Choromatsu's POV
I was waiting for y/n-chan to come at the school's entrance. She should be here by now. I don't know where my other brothers are except Todomatsu, who's right beside me. The others might've went to their respective classrooms already. I was getting a little impatient while waiting for y/n-chan as I had to ask her what we will have to bring as a contribution to the class party that is about to be held in our section.

5 minutes passed, yet no signs of y/n-chan...

I felt a small tug on my blazer's sleeve. I looked to my back to see Todomatsu with his wide puppy eyes. "Choromatsu nii-chan~ Class is about to start in a few minutes, let's go.." He said while pulling me over to walk back to our class. I sighed as I glanced at the entrance one more time, before I grabbed Todomatsu's hand and walked away.

As we were walking back to our class, I told Todomatsu to continue and I'll catch up with him because I had use the restroom real quick. He hesitantly nodded and walked towards the class. Jeez he's such a kid sometimes.

I entered the men's restroom and did my business and I was washing my hands. As I was doing so, the door to restroom opened with a creaking sound. My ears perked to the sound and I looked over to see who it was. My eyes beamed slightly at the person. It was Tatsunami or what I would call him 'Tacchan', who entered. He saw me and his mouth immediately formed into a playful smile. I smiled at him with a light blush.

"Professor! I was looking for you everywhere!" He said with a cheery tone. Huh that's strange.

I shook the excess water off my hands and looked at him while drying my hands.

"Eh? Me?" I asked, just to confirm. "Yeah. You, Professor." He said while leaning his back onto the wall and crossed his arms. "Yeah? What's up?" I asked him.

"Professor.. why can't you speak for yourself?" He asked me and I hummed in confusion. "What do you mean?" I quirked an eye brow at him and he scoffed playfully while looking down. "What I'm trying to say is, I'm sick and tired of you letting that chick play you around like a toy." He pushed himself from the wall and went closer to me.

I couldn't really understand what he was talking about. Tacchan and I have been friends for quite a while now. He was mostly friends with me to read all of my mangas that I bought to school. We aren't super close or anything but we do still talk. He was a big sadistic bastard and love to see drama and misery of others. Nobody in school never really liked him because he was known to be a "troublemaker'.

In my case, I think he's a pretty cool person to share the same interests. We hung around ever since 11th grade rolled by.

He often speaks in a way that makes it complicated for the other person to know what he's speaking about since he just wouldn't say it directly. Talking to him was like solving a riddle but I always managed to understand him and know what was going on without him having to pinpoint everything.

Though right now, I'm still trying to register what he just said.

"Tacchan.. could you explain what the actual hell you're talking about?" I said, wanting to slightly know what he meant. Actually screw it, I'm super curious.

"Really Professor? I have to EXPLAIN it to you? About the bet and the fact that you're being trolled by your own childhood friend? I thought you were smart and stuff." He said nonchalantly.

My eyebrows knitted into confusion. At first, I thought this was one of Tacchan's sick joke but at the same time, he doesn't look like he's lying at all. "Cut the crap, Tacchan." I said while looking away.

"What I'm saying is that, you know that girl from before.... what was her name again?- Ah yeah.. l/n-san." I nodded at him. He then continued.

"She just agreed to you because her friends bet her on it. Basically you're just a freaking bet to her. I can't believe you're this clueless Professor." He finished off, waiting for my reply. I spaced out for a moment before replying. "y-y/n-chan? N-No way. She wouldn't do something like that towards me.. We are friends since a long time"

"I knew you would say something like this. That's why I...." He paused and shuffled through his pant pockets, pulling out his phone. He handed it to me and I saw a video displayed from the gallery. "...recorded the whole thing." I re-adjusted my glasses before playing it on.

In the video, I saw Iwase talking to y/n. It seem like she was pretty mad because I talked to y/n. My face was blank as my eyes were focused on the footage. Seconds passed by and the more I watched the video, the more my eyes twitched.

The truth soon got unraveled right in front of my eyes. From the bet to her agreeing to it even though I've known her for a longer time than them. Even with rustling of students from the outside, I could hear everything perfectly. 'Is this how much I mean to her?' I thought. My eyes felt like stinging, and tears threatening to fall. I couldn't just cry right now.

How could she? Even after taking my time of my life in trying to help her when she needed me... Is this how she pays me back? Countless times of helping her with her problems and now she-

I couldn't bear it any longer..

I....

I-I.....

I HATE HER!

"You get it now right?" He said with a gesture. I looked him emotionlessly. "Why are you telling me this Tacchan? Wouldn't you like to see her dumping me shamelessly? I thought you said you like seeing others suffer? Clearly, you have something going on in that head of yours." I said and grabbed him harshly by the collar. He scoffed and said.

"It was starting to get really boring at school so...." He trailed off, his hands wrapping around my wrists, making them part away from his shirt fabric.

"Make it interesting~"

To be continued...

❀° ┄───────╮ Before y'all attack me... I'm fully aware that Tatsunami is just an imaginary friend of Choromatsu. I couldn't really find a suitable high school student from their school to take the role as the trouble maker. Just for the sake of the story, let's just pretend he's real, Kay?-
Also I know Thursday was yesterday but there was some minor editing with the chapter.
Anyways, hope you guys enjoyed this chapter! See you next Thursday!
