Summertime

Chapter 2

Summertime

I tapped gently on my desk as the teacher spoke to cover up the noise. I felt my mouth give a small tug to the side. I couldn't wait until school ended. I stared up to the right, the clocking ticking every second going by. Two more minutes. A minute and fifty seconds. I mouth out the words to Betty Hutton 'It's a Man'. I smile as I hear a faint ding dong. I get out of my seat and grab my bag rushing out of the school. I smile as I race to the shrine that I just discovered yesterday. I slow down as I see someone leaning against the rail.

"Well, well if it isn't Suzaki-chan..." I stop and knew exactly what was going on.

"You seem to be in a pretty good mood."

"Y-Yes I am." I said feeling my right-hand shake, nervous and scared. I feel someone come up behind me and grab the bag off me and grabs my arm. I let out a shaky whimper.

"Don't make a fuss. Bring her down. I'll wait for Nishimi-kun." The male said.

I wait with one of the boys, then I see the other three walk down the stairs.

"Kaoru?!" I said gasping out.

"Suzaki-chan?!" Kaoru says surprised. I see a guy holding a wooden sword, what is that for?

I gasp as I felt my stomach sting immensely. I scream out clutching my stomach and collapse to the ground. I hear Kaoru gasp out.

I feel tears trickle down my face. I get pushed to the ground. I gasp as my hands go above my head.

"Please, stop." I whimper out.

"Undo her top." I see him snicker and smirk. One of them comes to the side and unbuttons my school top. My bra and breasts are displayed to them. This is humiliating. I sniffle. The males started laughing at my crying form. I didn't notice in that blink of a second, the sound of footsteps approaching. The guy that was the leader gets fly-kicked in the back. The guy on top of me is surprised that his friend was almost knocked out.

"Too much momentum..." who knew that familiar voice was my savior.

"Hey! You still alive?" Sentaro says annoyed.

"Sentaro?" I breathe out.

"Suzaki-chan?!" Sentaro gasps out. I could only stare as my eyes pleaded for him to help me. I must have hit a nerve somewhere in his body. My face in tears must have triggered for him to growl. The boy on top of me gets off and the whole group run towards their leader. The leader turns around and I see his front tooth missing. I sit there as the event unfolds in front of me. Sentaro was fighting four of them.

"Are you ok?" I hear a gentle voice speak. I look back to see a girl with low pigtails with a worried face.

"I-I think so..." I mumble out. I see her slightly blushing.

"You must do your shirt up. Here let me help you." She says noticing that I was in shock from all this.

"There you go, all better." She says smiling. I somehow felt calm around her presence.

"Thank you..." I said as I look at the ground.

"Let's get you off the floor." She says gently holding my arms and I stand up.

"Thank you, once again." I said staring at her pretty eyes. I look to where the girl is looking and she walks off to the two, Kaoru and Sentaro. I watch them as they eventually come back to me.

"Are you ok, Suzaki." I heard Kaoru say.

"Did that boy hurt ya?" Sentaro says fiddling with his hat.
