Infinity x The World

Unavoidable

[Tuesday]

I woke up the next morning, sweating like crazy.

"Hardly any sleep... no surprise all things considering," I mumbled as I rubbed my eyes in exhaustion.

Things had gotten serious. I thought this was supposed to be a romantic comedy not a detective horror thing! God, what am I gonna do today? I don't think that boy will be in school with his injury...  maybe I can stay home too? No! School is my commitment, I can't skip out. Besides, I don't want to be near this gun anymore.

I looked under my bed and grabbed a key, unlocking the box I'd placed the gun in. My hands shuck uncontrollably as I opened the box while biting my lip.

"Yep... still there..." I forced myself to whisper as my eyes diverted immediately and I locked it back up.

I'd also placed in the box a vile of blood that was on my hands. I had an idea that maybe I could give it to a hospital, claiming it was my blood and I wanted to find out the history behind it or something. I can use that to find out something about this boy. If he's still alive...

"Ok! I can't be afraid! It's ok! I can do this. Just act normal and talk to Sora after school. She knows guns well and is surprisingly knowledgeable when it comes to playing detective. With her help, I might be able to conclude some theories of what could have happened yesterday at least," I told myself as I tried to breathe steadily.

I got ready and walked to school.

Suddenly my eyes widened as I was faced with an impossible situation standing right before me.

That boy! He's here! In school! I rushed over and hastily pulled his top up to see his chest. Was that inappropriate? Yes. Do I care? No.

"There's nothing there..." I mumbled in shock.

"Hey! Get off me. I don't want people to see you all over me like this. What do you think you're doing?!" The boy asked in a shyish tone.

I'm surprised he didn't just punch me for that, to be perfectly honest...

"What the hell is this?!" I ordered to know.

"What?" The boy asked.

"Your chest! You were shot yesterday and now there is nothing there! How the hell can you expect me to accept that as normal?! Explain yourself!" I ordered.

"To you? Sorry, but I don't even know you and you don't know me so I think you'll find that your right to ask me for an explanation is unreasonable, therefore, I have no obligation to provide you with reasoning," said the boy with little care.

"Uh!" I gasped in frustration.

"Now leave me alone and forget what you saw yesterday. Or better yet, why don't you try hacking the computer or something? Since it seems to be your best bet, Miss Stalker," the boy told me.

"Stalker?! Hey! I wasn't stalking you, ok?! I already told you that! Didn't you listen?!" I questioned demandingly.

"Why should I when you never listen to me?" he replied.
