Failed Yandere (YKMRO)

Chapter 31

Two girls sat on the rooftop bench, thinking they were alone, but what they weren't aware of was that someone was listening in.

"Oh my god, did I tell you?"

"Ohh, what is it?"

'Finally...'

"Well... you know how I'm a part of the Drama Club and how we're putting on a play?"

"Yeah?"

"I have great news..."

'It's been days. Why has nothing happened? I have to think of something else!'

"Uekiya-chan, I can't do this," Togo yelled, pulling at his hair.

Engeika gently grabbed his hands, pulling them down. "Calm down, everything is going to be ok."

"But... but I'm not ready!"

"Yes you are. We've been studying for so long. I know you can do it. I believe in you,"

Feeling Engeika's soft caresses, Togo calmed down. "Ok, I'll do my best... for you."

Engeika's face heated up as her heart skipped a beat, whispering, "No... you do it for yourself..."

Oblivious to Engeika's words, Togo fixed his hair, saying, "Ok, I'm going in."

"Good luck!"

Togo gave her a solemn nod, turning around to walk into the classroom before sitting at his desk. His eyes darted around the room as he fidgeted in his seat.

"Ok everyone, I want to see improvement from your last exams. I want to be able to brag about you guys to the other teachers. You may begin."

Togo looked down at his paper and his vision all of a sudden went blurry. After a few seconds, he smacked himself on his face, forming a determined look. 'You can do this... you can do this. For Uekiya!'

Two minutes...

Six minutes...

Nine minutes...

Thirty minutes...

As time passed by, it felt like Togo was always going too slow, like time was running out, but at the same time, it felt like it would never be over. He constantly worried he wouldn't have enough time, that everything was going by so quickly. This caused his anxiety to go into overdrive. His leg almost shook the entire table, sweat dripping down his neck. He even bit his pencil as he worked through the exam.

"Ok everyone, you have ten minutes remaining. Finish what you can."

Togo's eyes bulged out of the sockets. He gripped the paper, peaking at what question he was on before letting out a sigh. 'Yes, I'm on the last question.' After, he used his remaining time to check over his work, fixing any mistakes he found.

"Time is up. Please put down your pencils and hand in your exams, after you may leave."

Togo dragged himself out of his seat. 'Finally... it's over.'
