Alone

_~ Kazuha POV ~_
- ~•~ -

Now that I'm actually experiencing it being lonely in high school is NOT for the weak. No one's texted me all weekend except for Scaramouche, and he's been awkward ever since our sleep over. And I mean, even more awkward than he usually is.

If no one has texted me, I doubt they're meeting up with me this morning. Which means I'll probably have to walk to classes alone. Well then, have fun saving your own lunch table!

Well, I guess I can't blame them... Heizou got them to believe a lie. I guess I'm a little upset that they believe him without question... but it's okay. They're my friends too, once they know the truth everything will be fine.

But now, as I'm walking to first period alone, I realize just how stress inducing it is to be alone in the crowded hallways. I wonder how Scaramouche is holding up. Considering what happened at lunch on Friday, I wouldn't have even come to school if I were him. I feel sick for him. Imagine being accused of raping your rapist, who gets away with it all! That's horrible...

I stride up the stairs to first period, somehow not late this time. Maybe it's because I wasn't talking with any of my friends.

Even the teacher looks a little surprised that I'm not at least coming in the door as the bell rings. Jeez, I can't believe my reputation with that is so low. "Did something happen today?" I stopped as I was heading to my seat, to hear the teacher speak. Apparently me being early to class was so rare that my teacher had to ask if something happened.

I wince. "Nothing, just happened to get here early enough." My teacher squinted his eyes at me before turning his head. Guess that was my signal to sit down. God this is embarrassing...

The classroom isn't even fully empty, there's a few kids scattered in the room, but most are still making their way to class. I set my bag down next to my desk, taking a seat. I grab my science notebook. Time for another god awful science lesson.

When will it be ELA... I'm so tired of having to sit through boring classes.

As I played with my pencil, patiently waiting for the bell to ring, more and more students slowly started to pour their way into class. Then finally, the bell rang. I've noticed I've gotten a couple of looks by the people who got here earlier. Is my reputation with time management really that bad?!

Class went by quick. Well, quick for science, which usually feels like a whole hour worth of lecture. I have math next, but I guess it's better than science. It's much more straight forward. Math is also with Scaramouche.

I scurry my way to math, making it in probably less than two minutes. It's on the other side of the building, but the building isn't huge longways. It's just really tall, and we have multiple buildings. The main building, and then other smaller buildings for electives or whatever other classes are in there. Like nursing programs and stuff.

I notice I'm here before Scaramouche. Is he not coming to school today? Should I text him?

No, Kazuha. You don't want to seem super clingy. He's already got enough stress on his hands, and you don't need to follow him around like a lost puppy to add onto his stress. I'm sure he doesn't like it when I do that.

But I'm starting to doubt whether or not he's coming. I mean, I sure wouldn't with what happened on Friday. But it's probably better if he comes, the rumors will only get worse if he misses school. I guess there's nothing I can do though. I'm sure he's fine.

The bell rings, and the teacher starts calling attendance. Scaramouche isn't here.

Now that I think, did I just sit in class alone before I met Scaramouche? No, I often talked to my other classmates. I'm not unpopular or anything. Well dang, who should I talk with? Guess I'll just wait for someone to come up and talk to me. I hope that someone does.

"And that's all for today's lecture.. you all can split up into groups and work on the assigned pages together. Anything you don't finish in class do at home and turn it in tomorrow." The teacher assigned us a crap ton of classwork

A couple people came up to my desk and asked to work, but I'm not really close with any of them. Is there anyone I'm familiar with that I can work with?

And just like that, almost on cue, two girls and a guy popped up out of nowhere. Oh! I know who these people are. Lumine, Ayaka, and the boy is... Thoma..? I think? I've talked to Lumine before, because I'm friends with Aether, her brother, but I've never really talked to Thoma and Ayaka. Ayaka and her brother are pretty famous around campus though, so I know who she is. Apparently they're super rich. Actually, most people here are. This is a private school.

"Hi Kazuha!" Lumine greeted me, "Wanna work together?" I guess this is the best I'll get, there really isn't anyone else to work with.

"Sure." I answered with a grin. It's good to make more friends, it'll distract me from the fact that my actual friends literally have all ghosted me. I mean, I know a lot of people and a lot of people know me, but I'm not really close friends with any of them. I'm really starting to miss having best friends.

Anyways, time to stop thinking about that! Front and present, Kazuha!

While working on the math assignment I got to know Lumine and them a little better. Ayaka isn't as cold as people spread around, she's actually quite nice. Thoma's her childhood friend, who also works for her father.

After a while the teacher started walking around the classroom. Wow, he's actually doing his job as a teacher for once.

As he came around to our table, he stopped right behind me, his hand resting on my shoulder. "Nice work, Kazuha." He said, his voice right in my ear as he leaned down. I could feel his hand slightly slither towards my neck, slightly touching the skin underneath my collar. It wasn't very noticeable. I felt shivers going down my spine.

I nodded, staying quiet. If I ignore it he'll eventually leave. He did a little small talk with everyone else at the table before leaving. Finally.

"I hate that teacher." Ayaka muttered. I'm not sure if she really intended anyone to hear, but me to0 Ayaka, me too.

"If you would like, would you like to come to the new cafe that opened with us afterschool today?" Lumine spoke as we started to pack up. The bell was going to ring anyyyy minute now.

"Of course," I smiled. "is it alright if I bring a friend along?" I should bring Scaramouche. He needs more friends, right? My friends didn't really work out too well for him, and with all the rumors getting spread around I bet it's even harder for him to make friends now.

Lumine nodded as the bell rung and interrupted our conversation. "Well, we'll see you later! Here's my phone number." She handed me a slip of paper. I nodded a thanks as they all left.
