HE'S MINE

019

"I don't get it," I stammered, confused and shocked. I mean, Yuzuha has been close with Sanzu recently, but that doesn't mean she slept with him.

"I don't get it too; I have no idea why she did that to me." He uttered and lower his head after letting go of a painful sigh. His arms were lifelessly holding his knees to his chest.

"But who told you that?" I asked, wanted to prove him wrong. He can't just accuse her of something so big and not provide proof.

"The guys saw her sneaking out of his house. I mean, I didn't believe them, but in lockers, I tried to kiss her, she pushed me away. We argued and I couldn't hold it back anymore. Why would she keep pushing me away if she loves me? And then who came to soothe her aching soul, Sanzu. He is always around her and not even around her only, he is always with girls that related to me." He was trying to make out what was going on. Something was going on in his mind. I have slowly begun to feel doubtful when my mind recalled Yuzuha's growing interaction with Sanzu.

"I know I was rude to you because I thought you knew about her and Sanzu and thought you made a fool of me." He added, lifting his knees and resting in his elbows on them.

"What changed your mind?" I questioned, still not feeling good about what he said about Yuzuha and Sanzu. I couldn't fully wrap my mind around his words, I've seen them making out everywhere, why would he say she pushing him away?

"I just know you will never do that." He mumbled and look straight at the view, "I know he has been wandering around you as well, and I also heard your talk with Baji's twin in the Morning. She lied to you." His eyes were stuck on the tree and pain was evident from his voice.

"Did Sanzu force?" I didn't complete it because it was too much to absorb.

"No, that was a mutual decision." His jaw moved as he gritted his teeth. "He is only helping girls that are either my girlfriend, my ex, or my friend." He stated and keep looking ahead. He called me his friend, wow that was progress.

"I never liked him from the beginning. I always knew there was something off about him." I declared and Mikey turn his head quickly to see me. He looked shocked, did he thinks I have feelings for Sanzu, I was not like other girls. Seeing the satisfaction my single word of hate towards Sanzu brought on his face, made my heart flutter.

"Do you want me to talk Yuzuha?" I asked and he shook his head quickly. I mean there was nothing to talk about if there was a slight bit of truth in it, then I didn't want anything to do with Yuzuha or Sanzu.

"She shouldn't know that I suffered because it feels like there was a plan along. She is still hanging out with Sanzu and that means she is telling him everything." He was busy figuring out what was going through their heads. It makes sense, I remember tough she used to act when they were together like she didn't care and now she was crying and all depressed, was it all an act? Maybe she called me on the bridge to put out a show to make Mikey a big bad boy who doesn't care about anything other than sex.

"Manjiro, I will help you in any matter you know that right?" I wanted him to tell me if I can make better things for him, Yuzuha did him wrong. I never expected that from her, but I too was skeptical about her being so comfortable with Sanzu all of a sudden. And with him calling me his friend, I was determined to prove myself one.

"Yeah. But I don't want you in the middle of this. I have dragged you once and even if I don't show it, I regret it. I'm not very expressive, and people take advantage of that. I know she is your good friend, but I will never be able to forgive her. She knew Sanzu and I didn't get along well, she made him win, even Baji's twin helped him to win against me. All these girls were ready to jump on his bed, I was so stupid." His eyes were filled with tears and I honestly felt so bad for him. My heart was ripped out when a tear rolled down in his eyes and he swiftly rubbed it off his cheek as nothing happened. How could these girls be so selfish?
