chapter eight : keel

you had your eyes on sakura's tiny gray no-picture profile. it's been there in the abandoned senkan shipyard for around almost an hour now, unmoving.

"ah, i can't take it anymore!" you sighed exasperated. "hurry up!" you yelled, turning to see kaji at the end of the group on his phone.

"why?" he asked, raising his head.

"our cute kouhais might be losing! aren't you worried?"

"they can handle themselves." and then he went back to his phone.

you huffed, then waited for kaji to catch up to you. "lollipop," you mumbled.

he fished one out from his pocket and gave it to you. it was orange flavored. you unwrapped it and put it in your mouth, then stuffed the wrapper in your skirt pocket.

then you grabbed his phone and closed it so you don't accidentally click anything and ran.

"BITCH! GIVE THAT BACK!" he screamed, running after you.

you sprinted, taking big leaps at a time and swerving past kusumi and enomoto. "NEVER!! IT'S MINE NOW!" you shrieked back.

"FUCKING BRAT!!"

"SPOILED EMO KID!"

"CANDY ADDICT!"

"ANGER ISSUES!"

"LOVESICK DUMBASS!"

"ANTI-SOCIAL IPAD KID!"

"BRAINROTTED DAUGHTER OF A MOTHERFUCKER!!"

"CAN'T START A STREAK ON TIKTOK BECAUSE YOU'RE TOO LAZY!!"

"OBSESSED WITH FICTIONAL CHARACTERS!!"

"TOO SHY TO TALK TO YOUR CRUSH!!"

"USING OLD SHIT ABOUT ME!"

"SCARED OF ROTTEN GINGERBREAD MEN!"

"CAN'T KILL A FUCKING ANT!"

"ONLY WEARS HOODIES AND JEANS EVERYDAY!"

"THINKS SHE'S CUTE BUT IS AN ABSOLUTE NIGHTMARE!"

"LAZY MOTHERFUCKER WHO WON'T BUY NEW CLOTHES!"

"READS TOO MANY OF THOSE FANFICS ON WATTPAD!"

"FAILED A MA—"

"okay, that's enough!!" enomoto shouted, grabbing kaji's collar up and holding you by the scruff with his other hand. you scratched at the air while kaji tried and failed to punch enomoto.

"gimme my phone back!" kaji yelled. "why'd you even take it in the first place?!"

"so we'd get here faster!" you shouted back. "look, we're already here!" in the distance, the senkan shipyard was visible just a street away.

"now make up," enomoto said, not letting you off that easily.

"hmph." you faced kaji, and seeing that he was obviously not the one who would say anything first, you apologized in a mumble: "sorry."

he narrowed his eyes at you. "sorry too," he muttered, then looked at the floor.

enomoto let go of both of you when you calmed down, but still kept an eye on you and kaji. reluctantly, you gave him back his phone.

out of the corner of your eye, you saw kusumi whisper something to enomoto that earned a chuckle out of him. huh, wonder what that was.

but that was one of your lesser concerns since from here, you could already here grunts and yells from fighting. "shit," you mumbled. are we too late?
