It started with a fake relationship [Tighnari x Cyno]

Chapter 35

A week had gone by.

It was Monday, and Cyno had finally decided to return to college.

Over the week, he stayed in his bedroom, binge eating ice cream or crisps. He constantly would cry into his pillow, and he was too lazy to leave his bedroom.

But he knew how important college was, and couldn't skip lessons forever.

Cyno was nervous about seeing Tighnari. He wasn't certain if he would show up, but he didn't want him to be at college.

Cyno was scared to break into tears if he saw him again, all those days after the break up.

Cyno took the train to college. As he arrived at college and entered the building, people were staring at him. It looked like they felt bad for him.

He immediately broke eye contact with all the people staring at him, since he didn't want anyone involved with the situation he was in.

As Cyno entered the class, yet again, everyone was staring at him. He noticed a group of girls whispering to each other while looking at him. It looked like they were talking about him

Suddenly, the group of girls started to walk towards him. Cyno recognized the girls, but he never spoke to them in his life. He didn't even know their names.

„ Hey Cyno! Are you ok?", a girl asked smiling.
„ Hey. I'm fine, thank you for asking!", Cyno said.

He was hoping those students wouldn't mention Tighnari, or the break up in general.

„ We are so sorry for what happened!", a different girl said.
„ It's fine, it really is-!", Cyno began.

Suddenly, the girls all started talking at the same time.
„ Tighnari sucks so much for what he did!"
„ He deserves nothing good to happen to him in his life!"
„ He deserves to die, to be honest!"

Cyno's eyes opened widely.
Why were people being so mean about Tighnari?

„ Please leave Tighnari out of this. And don't you dare speak about him that way!", Cyno yelled.

The girls stared at him.
„ But we are just speaking facts!", one of the girls said.

„ Two words: Shut up!", Cyno yelled as he walked off.

The group of girls were shocked. They were expecting Cyno to hate on Tighnari.

Cyno sat on his own, at the back of the classroom and stared at the wall to avoid eye contact with any student.

A few seconds later, he noticed two students stand near him.
„ Great, here we go again!", Cyno thought to himself.

He looked up and saw Scaramouche and Childe. He had talked to them a few times, but he wouldn't consider them as friends. But he liked them.

„ Hey, can we sit here?", Scaramouche asked.
„ Hey...sure!", Cyno said.

Scaramouche sat next to Cyno, and Childe sat next to Scaramouche.
„ I'm happy you're back!", Scaramouche said after a few seconds.

Cyno took a deep breath.
„ Thanks!", he said, „ But I feel bad for not showing up last week. I have a bad feeling that people were mean to Tighnari. The way some people just spoke about him earlier was horrible!"

Scaramouche made eye contact with Childe, as both of them had sad looks on their faces.
„ Tighnari did show up once last week...but he was bullied so badly, that he didn't show up for the rest of the week!", Childe admitted.

Cyno's eyes opened widely.
„ I feel so bad!", Cyno said, „ I mean, sure, I am mad at him for cheating. But other people bullying him is sick!"
„ We can tell you the whole situation if you like at lunch break!", Childe said, „ I mesn, it isn't a lot that we know but it is something!"
Cyno smiled.
„ Thank you!", he thanked.

Tighnari hadn't shown up college for a couple of days.
He had worked for days on a plan with Lia and Candace.

They had to make sure that the plan would work, since if this wouldn't work, Cyno wouldn't believe Tighnari and they would never get back together.

After a few days of thinking of a good plan, the group finally had come up with a decent plan.

There were a couple of steps for this plan to work the way Lia, Tighnari and Candace wanted it to work.

The first step of the plan was that Candace would convince Al Haitham to work for him again. She would have to convince him as much as possible, since this plan would only work if he would let her work for him again.

For Al Haitham to let Candace work for him, Candace would have to lie that she hated Tighnari, and she would lie that she had a plan to make everyone hate Tighnari even more.

Once Al Haitham would finally allow her to work for him, she would have to make sure that he would invite her over to his house. Hopefully, when he would invite her over, the whole gang would be there (Crystal, Kris and Al Haitham).

Candace would make sure that she would arrive at Al Haitham's house before everyone else. She would arrive 30 minutes early. She then will ask Al Haitham for him to make her coffee.

Once he would be making her coffee, she would take Al Haitham's phone and text Cyno from Al Haitham's phone. Cyno will believe that Al Haitham is texting him.

Candace, who will pretend to be Al Haitham, will ask Cyno to come over to hang out with him at his house. She would have to make sure that Cyno will say yes, or else the plan will fail.

Eventually, the other people of the group would come over to Al Haitham's house. They would start discussing their evil plans with Al Haitham.

That's when Cyno will walk in to the house. He will hear and see everything that's going on. He then will realize that Tighnari did nothing wrong, and that it was Al Haitham's fault all along.

And then, Cyno will apologize to Tighnari and they will start dating again.

„ This week, it'll be the end for Al Haitham and his shitty friends!", Candace said smiling.

Tighnari smiled.

He felt confident.

This plan was going to work out perfectly.
