Chapter 4

Chishiya POV

"You know, that would make it easier to do if you just cooperated from the beginning right?" I say calmly. Still trying to get bandages in Niragi. "I don't need your help." I let out a sigh he has said that like 5 times now. "Fine then. Take care of you're wounds yourself then." I say standing up, about to leave the room. "Wait.." I hear from behind me, I turn around to see Niragi standing. "What are you doing, get back to bed, it's gonna start bleeding again." He nodded and sat back down in the bed. "Did you want me to help you or not?" I said calmly. "He let out a sigh. "Yeah.." he said annoyed. "Great." I take the bandages. "Sit up." He did as I told him surprisingly. And let out a grunt. I quickly cleaned it again just to make sure and bandaged him up. "Rest, you're gonna need it. When you have to play." He just gave a nod "like hell imma star here." I hear him mumbling but I was already making my way to the door. "I'm gonna find some painkillers for you. Stay here." With that, I walked out.

I walk down the hall making my way to the infirmary to find some painkillers. "Chishiya!" I hear a feminine voice say. I look up to see a certain girl with dreadlocks. "Hi Kuina," I say with a weak smile. "Are you gonna play later?" She asked following me to the infirmary. "Yeah, my Visa is about to run out." "Aw, I played yesterday. But uh what are we doing in the infirmary?" She asked with a curious look on her face. "I have to look after Niragi, he got shot. So I'm getting painkillers." I say in a little annoyed tone. "Uh, yeah good luck with that" she laughs jokingly. "There," I see the painkillers and walk over to them. "You got to be kidding me.." I can't find reach. I hear Kuina laughing. "You need help?" She said gripping my shoulder from behind still laughing. I let out a big sigh. And nods. "Okay!" I can hear her smile in her voice and grabs the painkillers, and gives them to me.

"Thanks," I said taking them. "Woah, that's rare to come from you! But you're welcome!" Her smile beaming as always. I roll my eyes playfully and walk out.

"Hey, I'm guessing that you're going to Niragi's room. So after the games-" I interrupt her knowing what she is gonna say. "I'm not going to the party." "Come on! We can just sit in the corner have a few drinks play some Uno, and stuff like that!" She says smiling. "If I say I'll consider it, will you stop asking?" I say looking at her. "YES! Okay, I'll see you there then! I'm gonna go find Ann!" Then she left.

I make my way back to Niragi's room, type the code in, and walk in. I see him at his window, with it open. Smoking. I let out a sigh, "I found some painkillers. Only take one pr 6 hours." Niragi looks over at me and nods. Not seeming to care.

I take out my phone, "shit" I quickly turn. Then feel someone grabbing my arm, I turn my head to see Niragi grabbing onto my wrist, and I look up at him with a confused look. "I forgot what I was." He said and lets go of me. I just nod and am about to leave once again. "You are gonna play a game aren't you?" I turn once again to look at the man behind me. "Yeah?" "Ha, since I can't do it, try and get hurt. Just a bit" he gives his usual smirk. "Yeah, I'd rather not," I say turning around leaving, and closing the door behind me. I was making my way to the main lobby, I'm putting earbuds in putting.

Way down we go - KALEO

I was slowly drifting into the world of thoughts hand I started hearing footsteps, and I turn around, to see no one. "I'm a losing it?" I feel watched, or more than usual.

I got to the main lobby seeing Hatter do his usual announcement.

"Now! LET'S PLAY!" Everyone cheered him.

I walk out to the car, watching people get into a car and drive off. I got into a one, a few seconds pass and a guy jumps into the car I'm in. The last thing I need is interaction with a stranger.

"Hi!" The guy says smiling. I don't look at him, I keep my focus out the window until I feel a tap on my shoulder, I look over to see the guy still smiling. I remove one of my earbuds and raise an eyebrow. "Hi!" I let out a weak sigh. "What?" I say in a monotone tone. "I'm Haru! What's your name?" He said in a happy tone. I had my hood on trying to disappear into the seat. I'm not in the mood for this. "Chishiya." I once again looked out the window. "Come on, let's talk! We have some time to kill." He smiles. "Okay, what exactly do you want?" I look at him dead in the eyes. He is up to something. I'm with him so far. "What do you mean? Listen I just want to make some friends." He says. " Not interested," I say coldly.
