Two Can Be As Bad As One (Hikaru x Oc x Kaoru)

Chapter Eighteen

"Luke." I whispered from behind a corner in the school corridors. I was hiding because if he was seen with me, he'd be worse off than he already is.

Luke heard my voice because he started looking around for the source.
"Over here." I whispered again and this time, he saw me and joined me in the hidden corner. "We're this close to sorting out your little problem." I said, holding up my fingers with a small gap in between them.

"Really?" He asked excitedly.
"Yeah, we just need to know if the video was taken with their phones." I said.
"Why is that important?" He frowned.
"Because we can hack into them via the numbers and delete the video before it can go online." I smiled and Luke's face, surprisingly fell to sadness.

"What's wrong?" I asked, confused.
"You haven't seen it?" He replied quietly. "It's already out there." My face sent pale and I couldn't help but look at Luke sympathetically.

"What do you mean, it's already out there?" I asked, checking to see if I heard him right.
"They put it online this morning. Looks like someone said something to them." He hung his head in shame and I frowned to myself.

Who could do that? There was no one in the rose mazes when we were talking. The only people who know about Luke's bullying problem are the club and I.

I know I definitely didn't, Haruhi cares about Luke too so it can't be her. Honey, was just as caring than I was so it's not him and I don't think Mori was paying much attention to the discussion.

Kyouya wouldn't do it if it didn't benefit him in some way and it's in no nature of Tamaki-senpai to do something like this. I have 100% faith that Kaoru would never do anything that would hurt me or Luke. That leaves Hikaru.

He was very jealous of Luke since the plan was put together. Looking at Hikaru's nature, it is possible for him to do something like this so he's the one with the attention. It has to be him. Who else?

"Leave it to me, I'll sort it." I assured him.
"How?"
"I have my ways." I winked and then we parted to our next periods.

'I'm gonna murder that redhead' I thought to myself. I couldn't help but notice a negative vibe in geometry that day, like something bad was around me.

"Okay, class." Mr Levi (Yes, Levi) began to signal the start of class. "Today, we have two new students that's transferred from next door. Please be nice to them." He instructed and everyone turned their vision to the two, new boys. One was bigger than the other and the teacher said their names the moment they appeared in my head.

"Kyu Tsute and Reo Moshika." As if on cue, they both turned to directly face me with strong perverted looks in their eyes.

My eyes widened but I wasn't afraid of them. They could do whatever they wanted but I wasn't going to take any of it.

Throughout the lesson, I kept on receiving notes that read really graphic things that were put into cheesy pick-up lines.

Do you like jelly beans? Because I've got a bag of jelly beans up my ass

Are you in the army? Because you're making my privates stand straight.

I shivered at the thought. The last one, however, the next one wasn't that bad.

Did it hurt when you fell from heaven?

I admit, I was waiting for someone, anyone, to ask me that so I could use the best reply ever.

No, but I scraped my knee, crawling out of hell.

I wrote that back. When they read it, they looked at me a little unsure. I gave them the evil eye and thankfully, they stopped the hideous notes.

The club wasn't much different as it always was. I hosted the same two girls again and a few more boys but I was a little surprised those two from class didn't come today. I was still on guard though and it was a good thing too because someone eventually found the video.

It was one of the twins' regulars and she rounded up a group of friends to watch with her. They were laughing and it made me sick to watch.

Kaoru and I were having a chat about homework and that he could tutor me in French and I tutor him in science. But I couldn't help but get distracted by the small crowd of girls' deafening laughter at the video.

Thankfully, Kaoru saw that they were bothering me and decided to go over there to tell them to watch it somewhere else.

He talked to them for a little while but I couldn't quite make out what they were saying because of other girls talking around me and they were quite far away.

At some point, the centre girl smiled and showed her phone screen to Kaoru. It was seemed to be Luke's video playing, I could tell by Kaoru's face. It altered to sadness and he covered his mouth with his hand in shock and the girls' laughter loudened.

On the plus side, he managed to get them all to leave and he returned to his place, next to me on the couch.
"Was that the video of Luke?" I asked, afraid to know the answer.
"Yeah..." He replied sadly and massaged his eyes.

"That bad?" I asked.
"I'd really hate to be in his shoes." He said and sat back on the couch.
"I don't understand it." I shook my head. "How can anyone tape this, let alone upload it?"
"I don't know." He shrugged "People can be mean."

I was a little nervous to what I was about to say, especially to Kaoru but it had to be said, he was going to find out anyway.
"I have reason to believe it was Hikaru." I confessed. As expected, Kaoru looked shocked... and a little betrayed.

"You mean, you think he uploaded it?" He asked.
"No, I think he told the bullies I was with Luke." I replied.
"How... How do you know that?"

"Well, I don't know for sure but he was quite jealous when we were figuring out how to get Luke out of his problem." I explained.

"Okay..." Kaoru said, expecting me to continue.
"And I really don't see how it could possibly be anyone else." I finished.
"I see." He sighed. "He was jealous?"

"It seemed that way. He asked me why I cared about him and he said he thought I liked Luke." I shrugged and Kaoru frowned, massaging his temples.

"Okay, I'll talk to him." He assured. I didn't know what else to do other than agree to let him. I mean, I can't confront him myself, he'll get more jealous and I still want us to be in each other's good books.
