The boy from the bookstore ( Megumi x Reader )

Chapter X

After the Christmas vacations, many students were introduced to the different classes.
A boy named Ishida was added to our class.

At lunchtime, Nobara and I asked him to join us, but he couldn't find anyone.
- "Hey Ishida, come here! "
Nobara waved him over to our table.
- "Thank you, girls!"
He said with his usual charming smile.
Ishida sat down opposite me.
During the meal we'd gotten to know him.
I could feel Ishida's gaze on me and especially on my chest from the start of the meal.
Nobara's telephone rang on the table.
-" Shit, it's my mother, I've got to take this."
She got up and left the table.
I felt Ishida's foot caress my leg under the table, so I redirected my gaze to him.
- "Tell me, sweetheart, I have a question that's been torturing my mind ever since I saw you in this class."
He said, resting his head in his hand with a smirk.
- "Yes?"
- "Does a pretty girl like you have a boyfriend?"
I blushed at his remark, and he noticed immediately.
- "Oh, you're the shy type, are you? "
He said proudly and moved closer to my ear.
- "Relax, I'm not going to eat you kitten, or at least not yet."
He whispered these words in my ear in a suave way and settled into his seat, crossing his arms.
I swallowed as I came to my senses.
- "So?"
He added.
- "ehm, I-I don't have a boyfriend no."
I was completely embarrassed I looked away.
Ishida took my chin to refocus my gaze on him.
- "Wanna change that? I can help you-"
Nobara returned to the table.
- "It's okay, I'm here."
She said with a sigh.
Ishida let go of my chin and winked at me.
It's true that Ishida is rather handsome, he's tall and muscular, with medium-length black hair and glasses. The kind of perfect guy who exists only in dreams. But to make him my boyfriend...
Nobara noticed that the atmosphere at the table was tense.
- "Let's go, it's about to ring anyway".
I got up and followed Nobara, as a group of boys passed me to empty their trays. I found myself alone with Ishida, who didn't miss the opportunity.
He bent down behind me and put his head over my shoulder.
- "Don't forget my proposal, princess."
I didn't answer him and just moved forward in line to catch up with Nobara.

Later, we entered the classroom.
- "Wait don't sit down, group work. "
Gojo-sensei announced, motioning for us to move the tables to make islands.
- "Make your usual groups, Ishida including you has a group."
He turned directly to me at Gojo-sensei's announcement.
Ishida put his hand on my shoulder and addressed the teacher.
- "I'm going with Y/n sir!!! "
He said cheerfully.
I felt a strange sensation on my back and when I turned around I met Megumi's gaze.
He was staring at us with a cold, haughty expression.
I took Ishida's hand off my shoulder and sat down beside Nobara, Megumi in front of me, looking at me as if he were going to kill me.
I looked away in embarrassment.
- "Excuse me, but I'm the one sitting across from Y/n."
Ishida addressed Megumi, who glared at him.
- "No."
Megumi replied in a stoic voice.
What an embarrassing situation I want to disappear, please.
- "You little... Anyway."
Ishida clenched his fist as if he was going to punch Megumi and calmed down instantly. He simply sat down at the end of the table.

The assignment was a document study on the cursed, due at the end of the hour. The atmosphere at the table was very tense and we were making slow progress. I had the impression that Megumi was about to commit a murder; he was looking at Ishida, crumpling the fabric of his pants under the table.
The bell announcing the end of the class and the day finally rang. Gojo-sensei collected our work and let us out. Ishida was leaning against the doorframe, waiting for me.
- "Shall we go home together, sweetie? ♡ "
I felt a hand grab my arm.
- "Nah, she's coming home with me, fuck you"
I recognized Megumi's voice as he swept me up behind him.
When we passed the high school gate I struggled to get Megumi to let go of me.
- "Megumi, let me go, you're hurting me!"
He glared at me and let go violently.
- "What's your problem, seriously??!"
I threw at him, rubbing the spot where his grip had left a red mark on my arm.
- "Ah? So I'm the problem? "
He said with a haughty air devoid of emotion.
- "I didn't say that, don't twist my words Megumi".
I said annoyed.
- "You didn't say it, but you made it clear".
He sighed loudly and moved closer to me.
Megumi put both hands firmly on my shoulders.
- "You're enjoying this, aren't you?"
I looked at her confused.
- What are you talking about? "
He rolled his eyes in upset.
- "You know very well what I'm talking about, don't play that game with me."
I thought back to today, it's true I hadn't had much chance to talk with Megumi I'd spent the day with Ishida instead.
But after all, I don't owe Megumi anything.
- And? "
I rMegumi put both hands firmly on my shoulders.
- "You're enjoying this, aren't you?"
I looked at her confused.
- What are you talking about? "
He rolled his eyes in upset.
- "You know very well what I'm talking about, don't play that game with me."
I thought back to today, it's true I hadn't had much chance to talk with Megumi I'd spent the day with Ishida instead.
But after all, I don't owe Megumi anything.
- "And? "
I replied, raising my eyebrow.
- "And? Is that all you have to say? I'm disappointed in you. You let yourself be touched by a guy you met not even 24 hours ago and you don't even repulse his advances you-"
I cut him off.
- "Wait Megumi, stop right there, aren't you just jealous?"
It was the only plausible explanation that would engender such behavior on his part. It's not like Megumi to act like this.
Megumi was speechless at my words.
- "W-what???? "
His jaw dropped.
I nodded.
- "You piss me off, I'm outta here!"
Megumi left without saying a word.
- "That's it, I'm right, you're just jealous."
I shouted the words so he'd hear me.
- "Fuck you"
He shouted these words at me without turning around.
I seemed to have struck a chord with him. Jealous Megumi, I wasn't expecting that one.
Still, I was sad to have become involved with Megumi for so little.
I went home dragging my feet.
