Chapter 3

Honoka

A FEW DAYS LATER

I was walking with Yui and Madoka. Classes ended early and we decided to get some ice cream before heading home. We were talking about some kind of trouble Yui was in. Apparently, the guys who were threatening her had footage of her doing drugs.

"Was it Redrum?" I asked as we all stopped walking. Yui looked at me, surprised.

"How do you know about that?" She asked and I sighed before we continued walking.

"One of my juniors at the academy was caught selling it after class and we still don't know where she is.." I continued before stopping once more. I turned to Yui. "If they know who you are, how did you get out of that place?" I asked and she sighed.

"My brother found me. I don't know how but he knew where I was. I haven't since him since school started, he's always busy." I frowned. Yui had mentioned that her parents recently separated so her older brother took over as the man of the house. He seems rather distant but I could tell he loved his sister a lot.

"Hey!" Yui and I both looked back to see Madoka approaching a tall-looking guy. His hair was shaved and looked unsure if Madoka was referring to him. He was wearing a black oversized blazer over a black wife beater, and a silver chain necklace around his neck.

"You fucking stalker! Yes, you! Stop looking around!" Madoka yelled as Yui and I watched on. She looked concerned while I tried to suppress a laugh.

"If you like Yui, then tell her! Stop following her like a stalker!" She yelled and I gasped as I felt a hand over my mouth and another around my waist, carrying me against my will towards the dumpster. I yelped as they threw Yui onto the trash bags. They looked like one of those gangs that mom was telling me about.

"Hey! Who was that guy from before? Did you think you could escape from us so easily? We got the goods on you here." The red-haired one said, sneering at Yui as he held up a green-colored cellphone.

"Hey!" A voice said and I turned to look to see the guy from earlier punching the guy behind me, too strong that the other guy actually flew toward the trash cans.

"Who the fuck are you?" The red-haired one asked as the other guy looked at Yui.

"I'm her stalker." He answered without blinking.

"Don't make me laugh!" He said before turning to the one wearing a white headband. "Is this the guy?" He asked.

"No. He's different than the last guy." The guy answered.

"Is that right? You better watch who you pick a fight with." The red haired one sneered as he and his buddies moved to fight ahem...Yui's stalker. I flinched as punch after punch was thrown. I honestly thought the guy was gonna lose given that he was by himself but he was surprisingly strong and the other guys were panting and slowly getting weak.

"Ahh!" The one holding me cried out as I bit his hand, making him let go of me as I moved to help Yui up. She was shaking in fear.

"Are you both okay?" Madoka asked as she helped us up. She then turned to the red-haired guy.

"You! You and your friends are the ones who filmed and blackmailed Yui!" She yelled as the tall guy stopped to look at us. I looked over the distance to see a couple of our schoolmates, huddling. I just hoped they were calling the police.

"Filmed her? What the hell?" The guy exclaimed, anger in his voice.

"Are you from Housen?" Yui asked as she got up. Housen? Mom mentioned that a few days ago.
