Because I'm Your Senpai

Chapter 4: Jealousy and Brutal

  ~~Chiyoko's POV~~

   As usual, I went to school with Yamazaki-senpai with Watakabe-san, who was driving as always. Although senpai was getting more and more perverted everyday, but it was enough for me to hold it. Sometimes I would get scared, but I couldn't believe that he was doing this to ME, but not to anyone else. One time I thought he hated me, so I tried to go home by myself, but he would always ride to my house for me. "I don't know what he is thinking!" I told Irumi about it as he rested his chin in front of me. He tilted his head, "I don't get it either... I never thought Yamazaki-senpai will do such thing to anybody, because he didn't do that to anybody, even before you came here. It seemed like he couldn't trust girls any longer." I nodded, but didn't say anything. I didn't know what to do about this. I opened my bento, and ate one of my chicken. "Can I have one too?" Irumi-kun asked with a smile on. I nodded as I smiled back. "It's good to have a nice lunch at outside like this... The breeze feels nice, and the sunlight is so warm~" He chuckled at me, "Isn't that a little manga-like?" We both laughed, but I suddenly shuddered. My spine was like a snake. I knew what that was. Someone was watching me from behind. As soon as I turned my head to the direction where the attention was coming from, nobody was there, but I did saw someone going back. I stood up from my spot, and ran to the corner of the wall, which was where the culprit was. I thought I would be able to catch that person, but he/she wasn't there. I tilted my head, and when I turned my head back to where Irumi-kun was, Irumi-kun was right in front of me. "Waaaaaah!!!???" I screamed out as I fell on the floor. I thought he was teasing me, but this time, he was serious, "What's going on, Chiyoko-chan?" I stood up from my spot, and forced myself to smile, "E-Eh? I-It's noting! C-Come on! Let's go back, and finish our lunch! Lunch time will be over soon!" He narrowed his eyes at me with a hint of doubting in his eyes.

   I gulped, and tried my best not to get caught, "W-What is it? I told you! There's nothing wrong!" He sighed deeply as he placed his two hands on my shoulders, "You know, Chiyoko... I feel like you are hiding something from me. You are constantly forcing yourself to smile, and losing smiles each day. Tell me. If this problem really is a bother, I will help you as much as I can. You can trust me!" I was surprised by the fact that Irumi-kun can be a such a gentleman, and can be so serious! I think my heart skipped a bit. "T-Thank you for your concern, but I am really OK! Really!" He grabbed my wrist, and pulled me closer to him, and he had a worried expression on his face. It was kinda amusing, because all of his expression were all happy, happy, and happy! I blushed, and tried to break away from him, but he was grabbing on to me too tightly, I couldn't break free from Irumi-kun. "W-What are you doing!? Let me go!" But the more I resisted from him, the more tightly he squeezed my wrists. It was like I was seeing two different Yamazaki-senpai. "I-Irumi...kun?" He stared at me with his sorrowful black eyes. He whispered, "I want to be your help, Chiyoko... Let me help you." My eyes were widen, and I nodded my head without even thinking. Obviously, that was the most stupid choice I made in this year, and this choice made me and Irumi suffer a lot. "I-Irumi-kun?" The moment when I noticed it, Irumi-kun was hugging me tightly, so I hugged him back. To be honest, I was tired of senpai's molestation, and thought I couldn't take it any longer. "Thank you... I needed it." He petted my head softly with his big hands. "What happened?" I explained what happened all these semesters. He seemed to be very amused by that, and he squeezed my hands, "That must've been difficult to hold it in... I'm so sorry that I didn't noticed it more earlier." I shook my head side to side, "You are totally fine! Thank you so much for noticing that! I would've explode with frustration!"

   Irumi-kun is so different from Yamazaki-senpai. Senpai is aggressive, rude, perverted, but Irumi-kun is cheerful, nice, and gentle to me. The only same traits that they share is that they are very protective. Although I didn't know that Irumi-kun can be like a big brother until now. It's kinda nice to have someone you can lean on to. After we both went back to the classroom, we talked and laughed like we usually do, but for some reason, I kept on feeling the staring from behind. I didn't care anymore, because I was with Irumi-kun! He would make funny jokes, and make funny faces! I swear; all I did was laugh the whole 5 minutes. "Chiyoko, about Yamazaki-senpai..." He started. I tilted my head, "Yes? What about him?" He stared at me for a moment, then he smiled, "Nah! It's nothing! I'll tell you later!" I was a bit curious, but he soon made me forget by making me giggle again with his jokes. "I wish this kind of day will go on forever!" I thought to myself while I was scrubbing words in my notebook, "We are not going to use this in our future!" I sighed quietly. "Suddenly I felt something behind my elbow. It was a paper. I opened the paper, and it had a note that said, "What's wrong? You look tired again. By Izumi." I smiled, and wrote something back to him, and threw it back to him. "I'm fine. It's just that math is not my thing! ;D" I didn't show him my expression, because I knew that my expression shows everything about my emotions. "This is so embarrassing!!!" I thought to myself as I scribbled down some pictures on my notes, and I waited for the bell to ring so badly. I almost slept! As soon as my eyelids started to close little by little, the bell rung loudly through my head, and that sure made me happy! "Stand up. Bow to teacher." The class rep demanded. We all stood up, and bowed as we all said, "Thank you for your education." Then our math teacher left.
