Asuka's Pov:
After an exhausting day, I finally arrived home and immediately went up to my room. Never did the bed feel so much better than it does now.
*PING*
I slightly jumped at the sudden message coming from my bag and reached out my hand to grab it. It was a text message from...Shiroi?
Tanaka Shiroi
test test, this is Tanaka Shiroi, is this Ina-Chan?
Inada Asuka
How did you get my number? And I already told to please stop using that 'nickname'.
Tanaka Shiroi
that's a secret and WHY NOT?? ITS SUCH A CUTE NAME
Inada Asuka
It's not and just tell me who gave it to you, was it Ichika?
Tanaka Shiroi
......
Inada Asuka
So it was her
Tanaka Shiroi
no comment
Ugh, now she's got my number as well?! I guess I could block her? Should I? Gosh, why am I hesitating again!
I let go off the hesitant thoughts before clicking the 'block Tanaka Shiroi?' and putting my phone down.
For a few minutes I was left with silence, laying in bed and trying to slowly fall into a deep nap when I suddenly heard my phone, ringing this time.
It was from Ichika.
"Moshi moshi Loser" I said with a straight, serious face.
"Shut up! Why did you block Shiroi? She's really sad now, you know?" Why does she suddenly care that much?
"Because it's already annoying to have her around in school 24/7, I don't need her involved in my private life." Harsh but true.
"...just give her a chance, please trust me."
"What do you mean? Trust her?" She doesn't even know what Shiroi did, she can't tell me what to do.
"Yes, I don't want to force you to doing anything you don't want but seriously trust me on this one, Shiroi is really trying to change but if you don't let her be able to make it up to you, how can she?"
I agates silent for a bit before Ichika spoke again.
"Look, me and her have a plan on making you guys become closer but I don't want to follow it if you're not comfortable being around her, which is why I'm telling you this. But if you gave her a chance, I am 100% sure you'll start to like her back."
Maybe I should give her a chance?
But that 'prank' was humiliating and it really hurt.
"I'll...try. I'll try giving her a chance but if she messes me up one more time again, I will make sure you don't see another day of your life." I heard Ichika laugh through the phone but sigh with a slight relief.
"But I'm only doing this because of you. Because I trust you." I said before she thanked me.
Soon after that we chatted for a while before she had to leave. I was still so unsure about my feelings for her, I mean, I do thinks she's very pretty and she's my only friend and I really like hanging around her, but do I really like her more than a friend? I can't tell, this love thing is complicating.
--a week later--
"Omg omg omg Inada, Shiroi-Chan is in a fight with Hayashi (Nori) right now!" Satsuki came up to me in a hurry, trying to lead me outside into the hall.
"What?" I asked before making making my way outside. I only saw a small crowd infront of the girls bathroom and pushed my way into the bathroom where the commotion was going on. After finally getting inside, I saw Noris girls surrounding Shiroi while she was on the floor.
They were insulting her, calling her a homophobic slur and making fun of her for standing up to me while she was just on the floor...defenseless. All I could think was how that was me once and how I ... felt bad, bad for myself and bad for her. This unlocked memories from 8th grade and they weren't nice. My mind started to feel weird and dizzy and I couldn't hear properly when suddenly Shiroi stood up and slapped Nori, very very hard. Nori then noticed me and so did Shiroi. I stood there frozen, not sure what to do as she got closer and closer. I could see the anger and hatred in her eyes, it gave me chills.
"Oh speak of the devil.." she said before chuckling, what a crazy bitch.
"Ugh I told you to leave her ALONE." I heard Shiroi say from behind Nori and the girls pushed her away.
"You're really cute, you know? Your pretty, cute and awesome face, so mesmerizing, isn't it? You dont deserve this...you dont deserve these looks...you're just ugly...ugly..ugly..." She kept repeating those words before I took a few steps behind since Nori got uncomfortably closer until I hit the wall. She put her finger under my chin and looked at me very focused. She looked like a crazy psychopath. I just closed my eyes in fear of being hit but before anything could happen, Shiroi took Nori and pushed her onto the ground. Everything happened so fast and suddenly I was outside again with Shiroi walking with me. Some of our classmates asked us what had happened in there with Shiroi and Nori but we kept quiet.
"Asuka, Shiroi! I just heard that there was a fight going on or something like that? What happened?" Ichika ran up to us and Shiroi explained her side of the story.
"I was in the bathroom when suddenly Hayashi and her minions came in and started talking bad about Inada-Chan. I got angry and told them to shut up. Things got heated pretty quickly and I was pushed onto the floor by one of the girls, they were literally spitting on me, I don't think I can ever forget that. Anyways they told me some mean things and bullied me. I never noticed Inada-Chan coming in but after I slapped Hayashi I noticed her and she just stood there frozen." Shiroi took a pause to breathe before continuing.
"Hayashi was being weird as usual and got really close to Inada-Chan's face but luckily I pushed her aside and we left the bathroom. I was so close to punching Hayashi but it wasn't worth the consequences." Shiroi explained with a calm yet also annoyed voice. She really didn't take this as serious as I thought she would, she joked around just a few seconds after we finally got out of that horrible bathroom.
"Gosh, Hayashi is seriously crazy and should be expelled or atleast suspended, she's done enough damage on Asuka but now you too?" Ichika answered and she was right, Nori should be punished for her actions but we all know that's not going to happen soon. Her rich father has always gotten her get away with everything.
"Are you guys okay now? Asuka, you still look shocked from what happened, you okay?" Ichika looked at me worriedly and I did want to answer but my mouth just couldn't move, I couldn't let a single sound out of my mouth. Why was this happening again, it can't be because of traumatizing events that happened in a school girls bathroom which led to some serious injuries, right?
"I think she just needs some time to calm down?" Shiroi said and she was right, I need some alone time but I also wanna talk to someone, I can't keep all of this inside of me, all of these emotions, these different bottled up emotions, its overwhelming.
"I..want to... go to the rooftop." I said and the girls immediately took me there. Class was starting but Shiroi decided to stay with me instead.
"Im so sorry but I can't miss out on this exam, its a really important one." Ichika said before giving me a hug and leaving.
