What's Wrong With Mikey?

Round 2~

The next following day right before we went to school, I had Draken help me out with applying some bandages around my neck, to cover the obvious evidence of the assault that occurred yesterday.

At first, I felt like running away, considering never showing my face around this neighborhood again, but once my feet passed the school's threshold my feelings changed and I decided to face my fears and I found my determination to get back at Mikey.

It was time for round two, where I would threaten him back with whatever material I gathered yesterday with his bestie's help.

So once the lunch break came around, I dragged him by the arm, giving him the exact same treatment I received previously, but in my case, I chose to drag his ass over to the rooftop, because there was no other place I could think of. He didn't struggle nor complain for that matter and when we arrived at the destination, once I opened the door I saw a bunch of guys hanging out there.

"Get lost!" My voice was cold, but fortunately, it was enough to make them scurry away like docile animals.

"Aren't you brave, just yesterday you looked panic-stricken and terrified. Did something change? Or are you only putting on a show to feel better?" I wasn't sure whether he mentioned this to mock me or destroy my spirit completely, but I wouldn't let him off the hook.

"Listen here you little shit! Just because you are the reason behind my arrival here, it doesn't mean you can treat me like some trash you picked up from the side of the road!" He tried to intervene but I cut him off and continued my rant.

"Let's be honest here Mikey, you are probably the one that needs me more than the other way around because frankly speaking I don't believe whatever entity allowed you to travel back in time will grant you another opportunity when you screw this one up!" Why was I so convinced of this notion? Perhaps because he didn't use the usual time-traveling method of this world and had to rely on someone else benevolence instead.

"How would you know if I have infinite chances or not?" I was taking into consideration all the novel plots I read before, why would another entity grant him a wish if it wasn't simply for killing its boredom?

"Even if you do have endless chances and demands you can make, do you actually want to risk it? Aren't there many things you need to consider? How are you so sure the next person won't be worse off than me? Additionally, you need to take into consideration the next person's personality, do you truly believe your friends will overlook everything if you keep changing the people in charge of your life?" He just stared me down before saying.

"So what do you want for cooperating?" Mikey questioned.

"I don't know some damn respect perhaps?" That was my simple answer.

"That's all?" He seemed confused.

"Yea, do you even know how to talk with people? Communication is the key, you know. I mean do you genuinely think I'm so cruel that I would let my favorite characters die when this world became my reality? Do you think I will just sit idly by and let it all unfold? Do you even have a brain up there Manjiro Sano?"

"I guess it wasn't a fluke when the entity told me my circumstances were a story in your world." He let out, I could tell he was pondering over something, so I had a breather to collect my thought and find some peace in my mind because this conversation just brought me a feeling of anguish.

"So who's your favorite character?" Was he really asking me about this?

"Not you." I quickly responded, receiving a glare in return as if he was telling me, we wouldn't leave this place until I gave him a clear answer.
