Chapter 10

Bronk and Shark caught up to Yuma as he was walking to school, alone. Bronk whispered to Shark, "Where's Tori? Those two were like, glued together." Shark shook his head then made a few gestures telling Bronk they broke up. Bronk looked wide-eyed at Shark and all Shark did was shake his head. Bronk decided he'd ask Tori later on.

At lunch time, Bronk pulled Tori over and asked what was going on between her and Yuma. "He cheated." she said angrily but with a hint of sadness. Bronk looked at her wide-eyed but remained silent. He felt anger boiling up inside him but kept it somewhat surpressed.

They noticed Yuma walking over but didn't make any effort to hide their current emotions. Yuma could feel their anger but continued on to greet them. "Hey Bronk, hey Tori, how ar-" Yuma started but Tori cut him off saying, "Save it Tsukumo. You're the last person I want to hear from." Yuma winced at her sharp words then stepped away slowly. He sat down in a seat then noticed Shark pulling up a seat next to him. Yuma looked back in Tori's direction, wondering how he can fix this.

Bronk and Tori are still standing there then Bronk notices her facial expression has become somber. "This may just be my opinion but, I don't think you should waste your time and energy on a jerk like him." Bronk said concerned. Tori didn't respond but Bronk hugged her in an attempt to comfort her.

The bell rang for dismissal and Yuma pulled Tori aside before she could run off. They moved to a more private area then Yuma spoke up. "Tori, last night was eventful for the both of us, mostly for you. I admit, I was sneaking behind your back and I really shouldn't have. Thing is, I wasn't really thinking...an-" Tori held up her hand then said, "I don't know Yuma. I felt something was off but I chose to ignore it. Why did you hide this from me? Why did you do this at all? Did I mean nothing to you?" she said angrily. Yuma kept quiet as she went on, "You told me that you'd never break my heart and that you'd never let go of my hand. So basically you told me a lie back then?" Yuma spoke up and said, "I-I wasn't lying back then...my emotions are just everywhere. I'm really sor-" but Tori held up her hand again. She told him that she's lost all respect for and trust in him then walked away.

Yuma was walking through the school gate as Shark jogged up beside him. "How did it go? he asked. Yuma told him everything word for word. Shark just shook his head then said, "You've really gone and messed up now." Yuma gave a weak smile then hung his head low. They chatted until it was time for them to part ways.

As Yuma was entering his home, he felt his phone vibrate. He looked at it then saw it was from Kaito. It said, "I was planning on coming today, but I wasn't feeling too well. It's strange because I don't usually get sick. Maybe I'll see you tomorrow." The rest of Yuma's day crawled by slowly, as he prayed for the day to end.

Kaito was laying in bed, trying to fall asleep but kept thinking of Yuma. He thought of his goofy smile, his warm hugs and cuteness. "Am I going crazy? I have a job to do...I can't get sidetracked now.." he thought. He tossed and turned and even quietly screamed into his pillow. He wondered how Yuma was doing and found himself wanting to send a message but winded up deleting it. He prayed for the day to end, and the pain in his chest too.
