(Taka's POV)
I spent at least 2 hours tutoring Mondo on his math and science homework. He's a quick learner, but he also had a lot of homework to go through. And a problem of spacing out 75% of the time. When I wasn't talking, I had the chance to gather my thoughts.
I didn't want to go to this party, I can't deal with normal parties let alone ones all about me! But if Hina and Ibuki did this for me, then I'd be the rude one for not going. As these thoughts circled in my mind, I heard the door open. Mondo and I both looked over at the doorway to see Hina.
"Hello Hina!" I smile and wave with my good hand.
oidsMondo looked over and waved, "Why are you here?"
"Just checking in on Taka, why are you still here?"
I smile, "I'm tutoring him!" Mondo looked down, I assume he's embarrassed. I don't know why though, studying shouldn't be embarrassing for anyone.
"Whatever," Mondo mumbled under his breath.
"So what did he say about the party?"
"He said yes," Mondo handed her $20, then continued talking. "We made a bet on whether or not you would go to the party."
"Betting is just the early stages of gambling. You might get a habit," I warned Mondo, but he just rolled his eyes at me.
Hina ignored me as well, "I'll tell Ibuki to send out the invitations!" Hina smiled and texted someone, I can only assume it was Ibuki. She continued talking shortly after, "Taka, are you doing okay? Mondo told us what happened."
"He did what?"
(Mondos POV)
Shit. I told Taka that I only told them he was in the hospital. I tried to give Hina a look that says, "Don't," but I don't think she got the hint.
"He told us what those kids did. I'm so sorry that happened."
"Who did you tell Mondo?"
"Just Chihiro, Leon, and Hina..." I felt him glaring at me. "You didn't want me to tell your dad or the hospital.. so I told my friends."
"Did it occur that I didn't want anyone to know?"
"Well yeah.. but I had to tell someone! I couldn't just keep that shit to myself!" I could feel that Taka was getting angry. Like he was about to cry. He just looked at Hina.
"Did you tell anyone?"
"Me? Oh uhm.. maybe? Just 2 people though! They won't tell anyone I swear on my life!"
"Who?"
"Uhm.. S-Sakura and Nekomaru," she said softly, feeling bad. Taka looked more confused than anything.
"Why them?"
"Well I told Sakura, and she told me she knew who did it. She said she would tell Nekomaru and they would threaten the kids into admitting it. They did admit it though!! And they got expelled! Isn't that great?"
"What?! No it's not great! Now they are going to miss their education all because of me! And they are gonna be really mad at me and.. and uhm.."
I felt Taka panicking, "Hey Taka.. it's Alright. It'll be—"
"Let me be alone, please."
Hina spoke up immediately, "what? Why? We are just trying to help!"
"Please! I need to be alone.. please and thank you."
I stand up and gather all my stuff together. Taka lays down and turns away. Hina turned around and left. I grab a blanket that was folded near the end of the bed and lay it over Taka so he can be comfy. I pull it over his shoulder and tuck him in slightly. I saw him glance at me, but he looked away before I could say anything.
"Bye Taka, Cya later."
