An Anonymous Letter

I Have 73 Unread Messages

Shihai Kurorio's POV

Traveling through the shadows with your head throbbing isn't the best idea. By the time I got to my room, I immediately plopped on my head and passed out, unaware of the notifications coming from the 1b group chat.

I got more sleep than I usually do, but I felt groggier than most days. The bottom of my pillow is so cold, and class doesn't start for thirty minutes...

"Caw, caw."

Tokoyami that bitch.

No, it wasn't him, it's just a stupid crow trying and succeeding ruining my Friday. I reluctantly get dressed, drink a cup of black coffee, and head to class 10 minutes early. It's startling to see ⅓ of the class is already here, the norm being everyone sprinting through the doors at the last possible moment.

 Setsuna is chattering away to Kamakiri and Honunuki, Monoma and Kendo are bickering, and Juzo is just watching from the sidelines, a fellow wallflower. I decided to catch up on what that bird took away from me at my desk. Kaibara walks up to me and taps me on the shoulder.

"Man, you look like death."

"Thanks, it takes a lot of effort to look this good," I reply sarcastically.

Kaibara lowers his voice, "so who do you think it is?"

I must look visibly confused because he just replies,

"The letter?"

"I do not follow."

He is dumbfounded. "Dude, when was the last time you checked your phone?"

"Yesterday?" I'm starting to feel uneasy, so I open my phone and am bombarded with 73 unread messages from the class group chat. I scroll up to find a message from Setsuna.

Setsuna: KOMORI GOT A LOVE LETTER
Setsuna: WHICH ONE OF YALL DUDES SENT IT

Testsutetsu: WHAT WHEN

Monoma: you idiot she's sending the message now so OBVIOUSLY now

Honunuki: Wasn't me but i want to see

Honunuki: *the letter

Setsuna: Nah dude thats confidential

Kaibara: yea like a secret love letter isn't confidential already.

Setsuna: how do YOU know its a SECRET love letter

Bondo:...you are asking us who sent it?

Bondo: wasn't me tho. Komori is a friend

I stop reading around here. I am in utter disbelief that the entirety of the class knows about the letter. My letter. Everyone knowing about it even existing is enough to make me sick. Kaibara starts talking, which snaps me out of my thoughts.

" I think it's Bondo," he says in a hushed tone, "He rarely talks, to begin with, so a letter isn't out of place for him-"

"SETSUNA!"

Kendo storms into the almost full room, Komori following her. They walk over to her, which is near my desk.

"She already said not to tell everyone!" Kendo says sternly.

"I already sent it by then!" Setsuna turns to Komori. "Kinoko, I'm sorry, really. I should have waited for your response before saying anything."

"I-It's fine," Komori looks around the room, all eyes are on her. "I just don't want to make this a huge thing."

Vlad King walks into the room, signaling that class is about to begin. Shoda and Pony sprint in, being the last students to arrive. Class starts, and my brain stops. For the rest of the day, the news of the letter is cemented in my mind.
