For The Right Future

Ch.5 Stand up! Fight!

"..."

Waking up to another day, I only find darkness. I sit up in bed and look over at my desk. It was the same I left it yesterday.

"...F*ck." I held my bursed side as I hiss at the pain. "Those f*cking a*sholes... Man, how are we supposed to save this girl if we're just gonna get beaten the whole time? ...I wonder if Takemichi is okay."

He didn't not look okay as he ran away yesterday. I wonder where he went off to.

"...I better find him." He might be feeling down. But that idiot can't return to the future without me so...

"..." I sigh. "That idiot."

I get up and get ready.

~~~~Time Skip~~~~

I still forgot to put that guy's number in my phone, so I have to look for him all over again. But this time, I'm playing it smart. I'm gonna go looking in schools. He should be attending one of them...unless he's like me. I don't go to school so I can work at home and not get distracted by my old bullies. It's just easier for me.

I come upon my first middle school. "If I actually find him here, you and I need a heart to heart, God. You let me find him today, but waste my time yesterday? Please stop playing games."

I head in and go around searching for the blond weakling. I run through the halls to make it easier as I shout his name. The looks of these other students are understandable...I look crazy.

I climb the stairs and turn a corner. "Take-"

*Bam!*

I fall right on my butt as I collide with another person. "Sorry, my bad- You!"

"H-Homare!?"

We both come face to face. I didn't pay the guys around us no mind as I hit him in his already injured head.

"O-Ow!"

"You moron! Why did you leave me behind yesterday!? I was worried about your stupid a*s! Then you made me go hunting for you! Put your stupid number in my phone now!" I shove my phone in his face.

"R-R-Right! S-Sorry!" He quickly does what he's told. I get my phone back and I help him up. It's only then I noticed the others.

"Oh, sorry you had to see that."

"Whoa~, Takemichi~."

"Who's the ghostly babe~?"

"Don't tell me...you got two girlfriends now?"

"Damn, I didn't know you played the field, my guy."

Excuse me?

It only took Takemichi a second to react by hitting the tall guy and the one with glasses right in their stupid heads. "She ain't my second girlfriend! She's a friend I recently made."

"...My name is Homare Sato. ...I-It's nice to meet you all..."

The red-head with the bruised cheek smiles at me. "It's nice to meet you too. I'm Atsushi Sendo."

"But you can call him Akkun." Takemichi adds.

"I'm Takuya Yamamoto." The blond headed boy speaks up.

"Well, beautiful, you can call me Kazushi Yamagishi. But Kazushi is just fine."

"And I'm Makoto Suzuki. But you can call me whatever."

"Dude, back off. If she's gonna haunt anyone, it's gonna be me." Kazushi eyes Makoto.

"Oh please, who would haunt a four-eyes like you?"
