I'm Sorry

Part 2.5

Warning:
Neck-licking, bullying, hinted nsfw, blood and gore. So I will warn you where it will start in the story. If any of those trigger you, you can skip those parts.

Fika was carrying her green bag as she went to Idle's house to accompany him to school. She's not gonna break her promise and she's not planning on breaking it anytime soon. But on her way there, she felt like she was being followed. She looks at her back occasionally but she doesn't see anyone there.

Soon she reached there. She hopes that she at least look decent with her green dress that goes to her knees. She pressed the door bell. Idle noticed this and said goodbye to his (roommate(?), parents(?) Idk).

"Hey Miss Fika!" Idle said as he ran to her with a smile.

"Idle, we're the same age. No need to be so formal. Just.... It's just Fika, ok?" Fika chuckled as smiled warmly.

"Oh... Ok... M- I mean Fika! Wow, that sound weird." Fika giggled at that.

"You'll get accustomed to say it soon enough." So the two made their way to the school. As Fika constantly watching out for any danger, she kept Idle close to her... By clinging on his arm....

The thing is, Idle is taller than Fika. And Fika never noticed this before. How come she never noticed this before??

This made Idle look at her in confusion. Fika was blushing, covering her mouth ang looking to her side.

"Fika? Are you sick?" Idle asked her.

"Y-yeah... Just... Been thinking a lot of things..." Fika said as she removed her hand and showed him her smile.

"Ok... Are you sure?" Idle just wants to check just in case.

"Yeah... I'm very sure!" Fika assured him.

"By any chance, Fika...." Idle trailed off. How will he ask her without offending her?

"Hmm?" Fika waited for Idle's question.

"Do you like Siren?" This stopped Fika in her tracks. She processed the question before her face was engulfed in blush.

"I knew it." Idle said smirkingly.

"Wha- why- how- HOW DID YOU KNOW?!" Fika said to him.

Idle just chuckled. "It was obvious at the way you look at him." Fika bowed her head.

"You say that as if YOU aren't so head over heels for him." Now it was Idle's turn to blush pink.

"So that makes us rivals, then?" Idle questioned.

"If we were then I would lose. Siren does have a thing for you." Idle is stunned at that.

"You're lying. Right?" Fika shook her head.

"Nnnope. 100% truth." They laughed more and talked more until they have reached the school gate.

They entered their classroom to be greeted by Colonna, Xahji, and more of their classmates.

"Hey Idle! You're early today!" Colonna said as Idle sat at his desk.

"Yeah, I decided to be early today. I kinda need to take care of things..." Idle said, his voice squeeking a little.

"Things, huh? What kind of things?" Xahji asked, leaning on Idle's desk.

"Like a new story! It's about a girl who has a crush on a boy that hated her at the start but they got along on the way!" (Sounds familiar, hmm?;D) Idle said, seemingly turning green.

"Isn't that interesting. Your stories are so awesome, Idle!" Colonna praised him. Idle, being the humble one, turned more green at this.

"Thanks, Colonna." Idle thanked her for the praise.

Meanwhile, Fika kept a close eye on Idle. She knows that those girls are his friends and all but.... She isn't sure about it. Something seems.... Off about them. Or that was just her conciousness bring too worried.

She better make sure. She stood up and made her way to Idle. "Idle!"

Idle heard her and looked at her." Oh, hey Fika! What's up?"

"I was just wondering if you're free this lunch? I wanna talk to you about something. In private.~" she had her half-lidded eyes with her confident smile. Or smirk.

Idle turned dark blue at this. 'Is she flirting with me?' Idle thought. He doesn't know how to respond. "Uh... S-sure...."

"Good! See you behind the school!" She cheerfully said as she went back to her seat which is just behind Idle's seatmate.

"Ooh, what could she possible want to talk to you about?" Colonna said, raising an eye brow.

"I-I don't actually know myself." Idle stuttered. He has no clue himself.

"By the way, where's Siren?" Xahji question. Now that Idle noticed, Siren wasn't in the classroom. Does Siren not want to see him? Idle turned yellow at that thought.

"Hey now, did something happen?" Colonna asked.

"We kinda got into a fight.... He might be angry at me." Idle said, sadness in his voice.

"What about?" Xahji asked him.

"You don't need to know." Fika said suddenly behind them.

Then, as if on time, Siren entered the room and sat infront of Fika. He requested that Idle would be seated next to him so his seat is next to Idle.

He muttered a 'Good morning' and seemed to look outside the window.

Idle looked down at his desk and didn't say anything until the class started.

During art class, Xahji, Idle and Colonna sat in a circle as they worked together to make cards. Two for each of them. Mr Ink said to make Christmas cards for a friend or relative outside the school and someone else in the classroom. Idle tried to help as much as he can but he is hurt everytime he moves. The crack on his soul looks like it's growing and he feels it.

Fika called Xahji to ask for help. "Xahji, can you help me with this? I'm kinda confused." Fika shouted from the front side of the room.

"Ok! I'll be right there!" Xahji stood up and made her way to Fika. They were working on the floor so she did her best to not step on any projects.

"So Idle...." Colonna said, her voice a whisper.

"Hmm?"

"What exactly happened with you and Siren?" Idle stopped what he is doing.

"I.... Better not talk about it....." He said.

"C'mon.... I'm your friend, right?" She really wanted to know.

"...." Idle just frowned and stayed silent.

"Ok.... I won't push." Colonna said rather disappointedly.

Xahji went back to them smiling. "Hey, I'm back! She wanted to know how to do an origami flower. What did I miss?"

"Oh, nothing much." Colonna said, looking up to her friend.

Xahji felt the bad mood in their group so she decided to bring up a funny subject.

This at least made them laugh. It lightened up the mood of the group.

But their happiness won't last.
