The New Student (inotan)

little miss perfect

Emi woke up three hours ago, she got a text from her old childhood friend that she hasn't talked to in a long time.

The message read:
'can we meet at coffee honey thursday at 12pm?'

It's 10:12 and she's already at the coffee shop. She never really considered him a friend, she really used him for grades, but then he never talked to her in junior high. So they just didn't talk again, until a few weeks ago.

She saw him at the mall and thought he turned out to be really cute, so she said hi.

After hugging him she saw one of the people he was hanging out with had a negative reaction to their physical touch. So she decided to toy with him.

Lately she's been enjoying making other people like shit. She really doesn't have a reason, its just been interesting.

She's currently sitting at a table in the cafe waiting for Tanjiro.

"Emi? Hi sorry I'm a little late. Did you wait long?" Tanjiros voice appeared from behind her, scaring her a little.

"Oh, no I also just got here." That was a lie. She's been there for two hours.

"I'm glad." Tanjiro sat down in the chair across from her. "Did you order?"

"Oh- no I didn't know what you like- so- I ordered for me though." Her palms are a bit sweaty, she thinks he's going to confess to her. They've been texting quite a bit over the past few weeks.

"Alright I'll be right back, I'm going to order." He gets up from the table.

ʚïɞ

"So um- what did you want to talk about?" Emi tucks some of her hair behind her ear.

Tanjiro chuckles awkwardly, "Sorry, this is going to be hard to tell you."

She blushes, so he really is asking me out.

"Take your time"

"Thank you, so I think we should um-"

Emi grips her coffee.

"I think we should not talk anymore."

What?

"You're really nice and all- but- it's just- you're just kind of mean to Inosuke, every time we hang out and I ask Inosuke to tag along, you agree. But then throughout the whole time you pretty much act like he's not there. And when you are talking to him, you're really rude."

"What? No i'm not! when have I ever been rude to him?" Emi's dumbfounded, she had no idea he wanted to talk so he can stop hanging out with her.

"Emi just yesterday you called him a 'dumb pig' and that was the first time you talked to him the whole time we were hanging out! I've told you if he comes along to not be rude or ignore him, but you never change!" Tanjiro raises his voice a little bit.

"How come you're telling me you don't want to be friends? We've known eachother way longer!"

"He's not the one who's being rude, you are." His voice is calm again.

Tanjiro gets up and sets $20 on the table, "For your coffee."

Emi is pissed. How could he do that to her? She didn't do anything wrong.

ʚïɞ

She has been thinking about the day Tanjiro said he didn't want to talk anymore. For five days it's been living in her head rent free. So, she found out where Inosuke lived, and decided she's going to find out his biggest secret, and out him.

She's been waiting outside of his house for about 2 hours, waiting for him to leave.

Then his door swung open and he stepped out.

He's dressed fairly nice, so he's definitely going somewhere for a while and not just to a convenience store.

About 15 minutes later Tanjiros car comes around the corner and stops right infront of Inosuke.

From afar she could hear Tanjiro ask Inosuke something then Inosuke got in the car. They drove off and Emi climbed the stairs to Inosukes apartment.

Luckily his door was unlocked so she just walked in. 

She went straight to his room, he's got to have something in there that he's hiding. She looks everywhere, on top of the door frame, under the bed, in the shoes in his closet. Nothing. She can't find anything.

She sighs and sits on the bed. But she feels something that feels like a book under the covers.

"Guess he forgot to put it up after he was done." She says as she picks the covers up.

Under the covers there was a book, it was purple and had 'normal book' on the cover.

She scoffs, he's actually so stupid.

Opening it up she sees the most sloppy writing, she can barely read it.

She flips through the pages and sees the word gay had been written in the book. She tries her best to read the rest of the sentence but all she could make out is 'cuz I'm gay and all.'

A huge grin spread across her cheeks this is going to be good.
