Highschool Freak Life

I am pushed off my path

Chapter 3

Kosaka Yuichi POV
Yesterday, after club, all I had been thinking about is what Jiu-senpai is going through, she must be troubled, sad and frustrated. She is just a girl and is getting married to some guy. Especially one that sounds toxic, I do it trust the guy, nor do I trust any guy that is rich and arrogant.

-Hallway
I find myself still thinking about Jiu-senpai. I wonder if she is well or not. I don't expect her to talk to me or confide in me. So I walked to my class slowly.
Just then I bumped into someone's chest. It is rock hard and I held my nose for a little while before looking up.
Oh no... It is the blondy from yesterday.

"Sorry, I am in a hurry. " The blondy says before leaving.

"Hey wait... "

I said before he walked past me, he is now standing beside my right. What compelled me to stop him? Maybe because of my sense of protection. For who? For Jiu-senpai?... No... She is my friend... She never said she is, but she is the only person in this rich school to talk to me properly and not like I am some peasant. So yes... I am stopping a rich guy that maybe will not listen to a poor man, yet... I want to help my friend.

"Yes? What is it Kosaka? "

"Can I ask why Jiu-senpai was crying yesterday? You are her fiancè right? "

"She is fine. She told me that she felt stress and I comforted her. "

What a blatant lie...

The blondy then just leaves after telling me the lie, perhaps hoping I forget about it and running away.

I kept telling myself that this is Jiu-senpai's business... Not mine. I shouldn't pry, but, I want to help. At least, something.

-Lunch
Sumire Jiu Liuying POV
I had asked to meet Tenma during lunch by the empty classroom. As I ate my dumplings, I rehearse what I wanted to say to him. Just say no... You only known him for one day, so marriage is a big "no".

" Sumire. " A charming voice said after opening the door.

"Tenma. Yes... I wanted to talk to you." I felt confident, it is time...

"What is it Sumire? You... Decided to get married? "

"No... It isn't that. But it is about our marriage anyways. "

"No? Still no? " He looks blank, his eye brows furrows.

"H-huh? Wait... Let me-" I have been cut off

"I known you all my life, you are someone dear to me. You may know me for one day, but I love you. You know that. " He says with his hand on his chest.

"Tenma... Let me spea-" I got cut off again

"No! You listen! " He yelled

Kosaka Yuichi POV
I finished eating early and wanted to put my lunch box back to class, usually I would eat alone, but that tomboy girl have been noticing me and striking small conversation for the last few days. I wonder why? Does she like me? Nah... The can't be, pft... There goes my stupid fantasy.
