wrecked, itoshi sae ✓

chapter 07.

"did you go out earlier?" hinata approaches you in surprise, you smile weakly in response.

you walk with her to the gate, but she keeps turning backwards, as if she were looking for someone.

"are you alright?" you stop walking because she also stops.

"you said you were off early," she looks at you, to which you just nod. "then where's your class?" she frowns.

just as you're about to look for an excuse again, she gets hugged from behind. rensuke buries his face in her hair, and through hinata's smile you realize she already knows who it is.

seconds later he breaks away from her and you see the all too familiar face, looking indignantly at hinata while she continues to eye him.

she has a beautiful smile, an amorous smile. you used to give sae that same smile when he looked at you, but he just ignored it all the time, walking past you and pretending he didn't know you.

her eyes tell you how much she's in love with him, how much she's lost herself in rensuke's eyes. you can even swear that you saw a twinkle in them - but you don't like this at all, because you know that he's not serious about her.

you know that she's just another 'thing'.

all of ryusei's friends are like him. they all pick a girl, take what they want from her and disappear again, then brag the next day that they got the girl laid.

"my friends are waiting. see you tomorrow." he walks past you, winking at hinata.

both of you stand side by side, watching him walk to his friends. as she watches him dreamily, you try to figure out what he's talking about with his friends and it seems like everyone is celebrating him.

celebrating for finding a new girl to take advantage of.

"please don't tell me you want something from him," you turn to her angrily "no please tell me what you want from him" you correct yourself.

"what's your problem anyway, y/n?" she crosses her arms.

"you know what kind of guys they are and what they do to girls" you are outraged by her question.

"i know rensuke very well. i know he's not like that" she naturally comes to his defense.

however, she herself knows that he is not good for her, but her love for him blinds her.

"you know it's not true. don't believe his lies" the volume of your voice increases, while you only want to warn your best friend.

now she is angry, showing it clearly with her facial expression. "like you don't want me to believe in your lies?"

confused and questioning at the same time, you look at her.

"don't act like that y/n. it's obvious that you had sex with that fucking drug addict. everybody knows it, you know it too." she approaches you threateningly.

tears of rage and sadness rise in your eyes — you can't believe that she believes these rumors.

and she is supposed to be your best friend?

"honestly, i'm tired of wasting my time with you. i've always done good for you, but you couldn't even tell me the truth," she takes a deep breath, taking another deep breath before she starts talking, no, rather screaming. "rensuke was right, you will always be the whore who sleeps with drug addicts," she screams at you in front of all the students.

tears are streaming down - even starting to cry out loud, but the only thing hinata does is stand in front of you and watch you, just like the other students.

of course she didn't expect you to start crying so bitterly.

again, she didn't think her words through, acting out of anger and disappointment. she's disappointed because you don't want to believe her.

convulsively you try to cover your face with your arms, still can't believe that she really said that.

meanwhile, tamaki looks from afar while a smile forms on her lips. for her, there is nothing better than to see you suffer.

and as if that wasn't enough, it also starts to rain. everyone runs into the building to protect themselves from the rain, but you and hinata stay put, don't move.

your tears mix with the raindrops and now it even looks like you are both crying, but you're the only one who is sobbing.

suddenly you don't feel any more raindrops, but it's still raining. surprised, you look around and recognize a transparent umbrella above you.

slowly you turn backwards, looking into familiar eyes. all your pain disappears so suddenly and you feel a certain relief.

not even a second later, you hold ryusei in your arms and start crying louder.

he squeezes you as tight as he can, giving you his warmth in the cold rain.

you feel so protected and loved in his arms.

but why? he isn't sae, and you actually don't even like him.

ryusei's eyes wander to hinata who is still standing in front of you. he hates her at the moment, because she's the reason why your beautiful eyes are shedding tears. he looks angrily into her eyes, but she only looks at you, realizing only now what has just happened.

hinata has broken your friendship.

"we're leaving" he puts his arm around your shoulder and walks with you towards the school gate.

hinata still looks after you, just like tamaki does.

"isn't that..."

"shidou!" she interrupts her friend, clenching her hands into fists as she watches you leave the school together.

now her eyes are also watering.. but from hate, love and revenge.
