Mr Senpai

Chapter three

Next day, Sakura was ominously quiet on our way to school.

I mean, he was usually quiet. But this time, he was even more silent.

I was sure he overheard the hours I had chatted through with Umemiya. I didn't want to ask it directly, though. He wouldn't have told me that any way.

I was the one pulling out the words from his mouth with a hook. It was like an impossible fight.

In the end, I decided to just walk beside him in silence. If he wants to say something, he will eventually.

As we arrived to the school, he suddenly pulled me to the side, behind a thick, concrete wall. As my back hit against the hard wall, I narrowed my eyes, grumpily turning toward him.

Just before I could have said anything, Sakura's palm stuck on my mouth, hushing me. I was confused, not knowing why he did so – when I heard low, grumpy voices from in front of the school.

"Enemy?" I whispered as soon as my mouth was free, my ears pricked.

Sakura nodded, glancing in the direction of the sound. "A team from the other side of the city. They make fun of elderly people. Umemiya-sensei has already had issues with them before, but they never learn... what are they doing here now?"

Suddenly, an emergency thought came to my mind. I placed down my backpack and got my phone, sending a message to the online Umemiya.

Honey Baby: Hey, are you already here in school?

Don't ask who gave me this name. Cause it wasn't me.

Umemiya-kun: Hey heey, Honey! Yeah, Daddy is in school already, watering my orange plants 😎 I'll bring you some ripe ones later on 😘

Ahh. Those slobbery emojis and calling me on those names... he was driving me nuts.

Better get to the main thing.

Honey Baby: Great, but did you know there are bad guys in front of the school? Sakura said they rob elderly people...

A sudden pause in his slobbery chatting.

Umemiya-kun: Ask Sakura-kun if they are from Yami no Kaizoku.

I pushed the phone in my twin's face.

He nodded.

Honey Baby: They are. What should we do?

Umemiya-kun: Try and distract them, okay?

Honey Baby: Okay 😉 I'll kick their ass

Umemiya-kun: That's my Baby 😛 But be careful, will ya?

Honey Baby: I will

Sakura was impatiently waiting for me to finish chatting.

"What did he say?"

I peeked out at the bad guys, still fiddling in front of the school. They weren't causing any damage to objects. All we had to do was to catch their attention while Umemiya attacks them from surprise.
