Chapter 9

You hugged Shoko and Geto tightly, a sense of melancholy settling over you as you prepared to part ways for the summer. Despite the reassurances of seeing each other again soon, you couldn't shake the feeling that the upcoming separation would feel longer than anticipated. Shoko's optimistic outlook on the situation may have softened the blow, but deep down, you knew that the absence would be palpable.

While you looked forward to spending time with Gojo, the presence of Akari loomed ominously. Her persistent attempts to integrate herself into your friend group had become increasingly bothersome, and you couldn't help but feel a twinge of frustration at the prospect of enduring her company throughout the summer.

You couldn't deny the strong dislike you harbored towards Akari. Hate might have been too strong a word, but her persistent attempts to outshine you grated on your nerves. It felt like she was constantly trying to one-up you, and you found her behavior irritating to say the least.

The thought crossed your mind: was she obsessed with you or something? But you pushed the idea aside, unwilling to entertain such a notion for now. There were more pressing matters at hand, like spending quality time with your friend Geto before the summer separation.

"Come on, y/n, it won't be that bad," Geto tried to reassure you, his words falling on deaf ears as you remained stubborn in your stance. However, a moment of self-awareness crept in, and you couldn't help but acknowledge how cringeworthy you must have looked in that moment.

With a reluctant sigh, you relented, releasing your grip and conceding defeat. "Okay, okay, I just want to stay with you, that's all. But if you don't want to, then that's fine," you said, wiping away a fake tear dramatically.Geto chuckled and ruffled your hair, a small smile playing on his lips

As Gojo, Shoko, and the other individual trailed behind you two, Geto couldn't resist expressing his disdain for the object of your mutual dislike. Leaning closer, he eagerly awaited your whispered revelation.

"I just can't stand her, did you hear what she said yesterday?" Geto muttered, his frustration clear as he prepared to talk about the subject of your conversation.

You leaned in, speaking softly so that only Geto could hear. "She said that she liked boys with blue eyes... you know what that means," you revealed.

Geto's eyes widened in realization, his expression shifting from annoyance to disbelief. "No way, so she likes..." he trailed off, as he connected the dots.

You couldn't contain your excitement as Geto grasped the implications of Akari's statement. "I swear she did!! Trust me, I'm not lying, and she was looking at..." you trailed off, unable to suppress a grin.

Geto's expression shifted to one of disgust. "Nu-uh, she's nuts for real," he remarked, sharing in your amusement as the absurdity of the situation sank in.

But as you exchanged laughter, a sense of unease washed over you, as if someone was observing your interaction from afar.

"Oh, by the way, my mom prepared something for you and Shoko to eat while traveling," you mentioned, turning to look at Geto. "Wow, that's really thoughtful of your mom," Geto remarked, a genuine smile gracing his lips as he expressed his gratitude. You returned the smile, appreciating his genuine appreciation for the gesture.

"Yeah, she's always looking out for us," you replied warmly, feeling a sense of warmth knowing that your friends appreciated the efforts of your family. "I'll make sure to swing by later to pick them up."

You had spent countless hours talking with your two friends after they left town, but it just wasn't the same without them around. However, you had made plans with Gojo and were eagerly awaiting his arrival so you could watch a movie together.
