Ash x Eiji classmates

8.

Ash's POV

I'm woken up by the sun passing through my window. Weird I usually wake up earlier than that.. I look at my phone. 9:30 Fuck I'm late for my first class. Usually I have my alarm but last night I stayed up doing research on Arthur because I was feeling uneasy. I do that very often when I can't sleep or when I feel like someone's suspicious and lately has just been too peaceful, I thought he must be preparing something. I did the same at the beginning of this session when I first saw Eiji but only found a few Japanese article about Paul volting, he seemed legit so I let it go.

I get up and start getting dressed quickly putting on some jeans, a t-shirt and a brown flannel, my favorite one is dirty. Once I'm dressed I go to my brothers room, it's weird that he didn't wake me up since I'm late. I open the door but see him still fast asleep, a few empty beers on the floor and he's still wearing yesterdays clothes.

I guess he must have gotten home late, and drunk.

I go to the bathroom to fetch some aspirin and put it on his bedside table with a glass of water for when he wakes up. I slowly close the door making sure not to wake him and I'm ready to go.

I don't bother eating breakfast because first of all I don't have the time and also I don't usually eat before lunch. I get out with only my flannel and some shoes since today is a pretty sunny day.

As Im quickly walking my way to school i keep getting catcalled by a bunch of men and women, usually i would try and intimidate them or just hit them when they got too insistant but i really dont have the time today. Im starting to regret not putting on a coat this morning, i can see the stares, hear the wistle and i know what they were thinking.

"How hot it would be t have sex with me, how cute and fragile i seemed, how good it would feel to hurt me." Thats what they all used to say to me, and they had so much fun.

My breath hitched as i felt myselft getting even more vulnerable and uncomfortable. Luckyly the school is now only a few minutes away and it will soon be over.

...

I feel much more comfortable at school, since now everyone know I'm in a gang and that I was litteraly involved with the mafia people don't hit on me or even talk to me like they used to, they just ignore me now. It would get lonely but at least I have shorter. They're one of the only person who is still by my side and who never asked anything from me.

I decide to skip my first class since I'm already an hour late, i understand everything better than everyone anyway, and go to the library alone.

I try to read my book but I can't help replaying this morning's walk in my head, I start uncomfortably shifting in my seat, there's no one around but I still feel like people are looking, eyeing me like I'm a slut or something. I hate that it's affecting me so much, I know I should be stronger but as soon as anything slightly reminds me of my past I can't help but breakdown. Of course I've learnt how to deal with it and calm myself down but it still hurts.

I close my unread book, deciding I definitely won't be able to pay any attention to it this morning, I instead start recalling yesterdays events. I feel really bad for that Eiji guy... what if something similar to me happened to him and that's why he was panicking, I regret acting like I did on the first day, I pushed him in a closet, I flirted with him and even touched his face. God I'm horrible.
