BAREFACED

Chapter 77

After driving a bit, the two of you arrive at the school. You furrow your eyebrows feeling very confused. He gets off his bike and motions you to follow him. The two of you walk into the school. He walks up the stairs and in the direction of the student council office.

"Mitsuya." You calmly say before you stop walking. He stops walking and turns his head in your direction. You furrow your eyebrows and cross your arms. "Why are we going to the student council office?" You question. He stands still, staring at you. He then takes a deep breath and looks in the direction of the student council office room.

"It's nothing bad..."

"You brought me here without explaining anything to me... can you just tell me why you brought me here before we walk through the door...?" You ask. He stares at you a bit before nodding and placing his hands in his pockets. He slowly approaches you and relaxes his eyes.

"You've mentioned something about a girl named Kasumi... right?" 

"Mhm..." You hum. You furrow your eyebrows a bit because you can't really remember talking to him about this.

"You're friends with her right? Apparently she's been causing trouble."

"Huh?"

The sound of a door opening causes you to flinch. Sakura, the student council president walks out and approaches Mitsuya from behind. You tilt your head in confusion as the two of them stare at you.

"What are you talking about?" You ask Mitsuya, making eye contact with him.

"Thank you Takashi- san...." Sakura calmly says.

"Yeah." He slowly nods.

"What's going on... I'm confused." 

"Come... come into the student council office... I will tell you-" Sakura motioned the two of you to walk into the room.

After walking in, the both of you sit down on the couch in front of her desk. She walks behind the desk and pulls open a drawer under her desk. She then pulls out a big book and slams it down on the desk. She slowly looks up at you and smiles.

"I'm sure you have seen this book- or heard of it..." Sakura calmly says flipping through the book. You stare at the book, still feeling confused.

"Yeah... That's the book that has a bunch of information on it... of each student." You calmly say.

"Wait- really?" Mitsuya says looking confused.

"Mhm- and it's funny though- Yuki... how a certain page in this book is missing."

"What do you mean?" You question. Sakura looks at you and then flips through the pages and then stops at one page.

"Right here... the page was ripped out." She says, rubbing her finger along the ripped part of the page. You stand up and walk towards the desk to look at the book. There really was a page ripped out.

"What? Are you saying I ripped it out?" You ask. Sakura looks up at you and then back down at the book, flipping through the book again and stopping at another spot that also looks like the page was ripped out.

"This one was ripped out too..." She says touching the ripped spot.

"I don't get it-" You say feeling confused. Sakura sighs and looks up at you.

"It was a couple months ago... I saw you in the school gym... you were with that girl- Kasumi, right?"

"Mhm..."

"That was I believe- the same day I saw the book was missing- I had almost caught her that day too..."

"Huh?"
