Thanks For Protecting Me . . .

Chapter Eight

I just found out I am mild  (a type red-green colorblindness- :,<)

Shin POV 

I was panicking, because Umeji just feel asleep in my arms! I soon fell asleep.

*BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP*

Umeji stirred in his sleep, waking me up. I didn't mind since it was the morning now. What really bugged me was that we couldn't stay like how we were. I yawned when Umejis yawned. He got up and went to the bathroom. Why did I feel so . . . different? Why did I feel so many butterflies in stomach? I mean, that's what friends do. I don't know why I have feelings for him but I do. I got up and quickly changed into my school uniform. Umejis walked out of the bathroom with his uniform on.

"You can go brush your teeth and stuff now" Umejis said. The rest of the day he had a light red on his cheeks (face cheeks don't be dirty)

I went in to brush my teeth then me and him walked to school. We said our goodbyes at our lockers and parted ways to do our own stuff. I went to the occult club and did my usual walk around the school with my friends. They were talking about the usual things they talk about. Whether the certain object is supernatural or not. I couldn't get my mind to focus and the activities thought. My brain was scrambled for some reason. "Maybe because of how my and my crush cuddles last night" I laughed at myself. The bell rang signaling it was time to head to class. When I walked in I saw more and more mean and hurtful words written on my desk. I grabbed a sponge and cleaned my desk before I sat down so I wouldn't have to look at those stupid words. Once I sat I pulled out my phone and started to scroll through Instagram. The usual was there, updates on cryptids and stuff, but something caught my eye, it was Umejis account on my home page. It was a photo of him and his friends doing silly poses. It was posed 30 minutes ago. I sat and wondered how they got that photo with out looking stupid. Oh well, I liked the photo and continued to scroll. Students walked in and took their seats and pulled out stuff to keep them entertained.

I put my phone away and pulled out my sketch book. I drew a picture of the forest, the forest always calmed me when I was little. I decided to draw in that forest two people holding hands, before I realized what I was drawing someone came up.

"Is the Umejis? Who is he with?" They asked, curious. I looked down to see I had drawn me and him in the forest walking together . . . holding hands . . . I blushed like crazy and quickly came up with an excuse.

"Oh it not supposed to be him... Their some of my original characters..." I mustered, it was sufficient for now. They walked away. "Phew" I thought to myself. "If the bullies saw that they would torment me even more, which I obviously didn't want. Class started as usual and it was extremely boring. Umeji came late this time, and he said sorry? I must be hallucinating. He took his seat next to mine and everything didn't seem so boring now that he was here. His blonde hair, gold eyes, they shimmered in the sun a special way to make them pop. He looked so pretty. His scar on his faces pops to but I don't mind it, he is much more pretty with the scar then without it. I secretly took a picture. "I had to save this!- wait what am I doing this is stalker behavior" I scolded myself. "Why was I so strange" When class ended Umejis literally dragged me to where he usually eats, with his friends.

"Look I'm going to protect you from those highlighters!" Umeji said.

"Oh um ok" I said, I laughed at the fact he called them 'highlighters'. We ate and then headed to class as usual. I sat and I was so bored. Until Museme walked in and laughed at me.

"Reaally? You think you can just run away and hide? Ha well I'll have you know that I now know all of your hiding spots" She laughed at me. I immediately tensed up, I felt like a hopeless, lost puppy. It made me sick.

"SHUT UP MUSEME!" I shouted, unexpectedly. "What did I just say" I asked myself. She looked at me, shocked. There wasn't any teachers here so I could physically fight her but I didn't really feel like it.

"Oh-ho look who's playing tough now? You really think you can fight me?" She said "Id like to see you try" I couldn't stand it anymore, rage was flowing through my veins when she said that, I had no control over my body. It was like I was getting possessed. I lunged at her and ground her face and the ground.

"OwwwWww" She cried. I punched and punched her back to the point where she was coughing blood. I was so angry I didn't even notice that I had hurt her severally. Umeji walked in on the me punching her, there was blood all around her face. I looked at him shocked the I ran away hoping he wouldn't hate me. I went to the boys restroom and washed my shoes because I had stepped on the blood. I thought of the condition she was in. She was gurgling blood, she could hardly speak. "I would definitely get arrested if they found out I did this..." I thought. I was crying because of how angry I was. I quickly ran home and rested. I was so stressed and tried of her that I . . . "I'm a monster" I thought to my self. I went to brush my teeth and go to bed. I was really tried that I could pass out any minute. As soon as my head hit the pillow, I feel asleep.
