The Dirty Nerd - Chapter Five

Saturday rolled around rather quickly and I was more than just excited to go to the mall; I was absolutely elated. It was nice to go somewhere other than home or school after so long.

Michio and I were ready and dressed up to go but my cat Pebbles didn't want us to leave for some reason. He kept puppy-guarding the front door, hissing  and growling aggressively at us,

"Pebble! We have to go. C'mon. I'll bring you back a treat if you let us pass."

Pebble immediately stopped his behavior from hearing the word treat. I knew he couldn't resist that word. He gladly allowed us to pass to exit the house,

"Your cat is insane."

"He gets fiesty at times. Especially when I don't give him attention."

Michio and I walked down the pavement together but shockingly, in the distance, I saw Ito hanging with a few guys and girls,

"Is that Ito?"

Michio immediately stopped me in my tracks by simply grabbing a hold of my wrist,

"Let's cross the street, shall we?"

Why was Michio acting so weird? I needed to talk to Ito anyway so this was perfect timing,

"What? No, I need to talk to him about what happened last week. He isn't answering my texts either."

I yanked my wrist out of Michio's grasp and raced over into Ito's direction but as I got closer, I noticed something was immediately wrong with Ito. He was smoking, he looked dirty and this wasn't any ordinary group of people. It was a gang,

"Ito...?"

The entire group looked at me and then immediately pulled out knives. Ito did nothing but stare at me with nothing but hatred and disgust in his eyes. He didn't even bother stopping these people from drawing their knives. I slowly began backing away from this situation. Where the hell is Michio?! I should've listened,

"Ito. What the hell has gotten into you?"

Ito threw his cigarette on the floor and stepped on it before pulling out a knife as well,

"Who is making you do this? Ito, you're my best friend, you can always tell me what's going on. I can get you some help."

"I don't need your help, Yuuto. You disgust me. You're no fun. You're boring. You're useless. You're worthless. You're just a toy! I hate you. Ever since we became friends you put me through hell. You always left me hanging. You never wanted to have fun, go to parties, or hang out with me on the weekends. NOTHING!!!"

I was speechless by Ito's words. I had no idea he felt this way about me,

"Then why didn't you say something? Why didn't you talk to me about it?"

"Oh, so you've forgotten? I have tried, Yuuto. You never listened. You always changed the subject or you were too busy sinking your face into those stupid books of yours. You're better off without me. I'm sure Michio will see you like how I saw you. Annoying."

Yuuto then charged forward with his knife but I managed to begin running for my life just in time. I ran straight back to Michio to hide behind him,

"Help! He's trying to kill me!!"

"Jesus Christ! I told you. C'mon, let's hurry."

He grabbed my hand and immediately crossed the street. I almost lost my balance from trying to keep up with Michio's pace but I had no time to complain, we had to escape as soon as humanely possible, or else, we were absolutely doomed.
