I never thought I would return to thank you...

Chapter 1

KUROKO'S POV.

I just finished school for today. Right now I walking out of school and started heading home on my own.
Of course I'm walking home alone. Who would I walk with? Aomine?
No, he left me on my own.
My so-called best friend turned his back on me.

I don't blame him though.
Even I can't stand how weak I am.

Anyways. My almost nonexistant existance is sneaking out of the front gate.
Yes, sneaking.
You see, I have a problem.
Called Haizaki Shougo. My new bully. My only bully, as a matter of fact.

Me getting myself injured in a basketball game caught his attention. And since he was kicked out of the basketball club, he wants payback.
Why me?
I don't know…

"Oh, doll face!" Someone yells behind me, signaling me that they saw me.
Who are they? Haizaki and his two goons of course.
This would normally be a headstart for me, but instead of running, I foolishly turn around and face them. Running will only entertain them. I want them to get bored with my stubborness and poker face. They'll leave me alone eventually, right?

"Where were you today, you forgot to visit me at lunch." Haizaki says with a sickening sweet voice as he nears me. "If you do that again, I'll get mad." He's right in front of me now, leaning down so that we're face to face.
"And you know what happens when I get mad, don't you?"

I can't tell you how my heart is clenching right now but i make sure that my face stays blank. I can't give him what he wants even if it kills me.
And apparently, it works because his face changes into a scowl and he grits his teeth.
"Answer me you little shit!" He puches me sending my body to the wall. I can feel my back burning and I know I'll have to bandage it. My head feels like it's spinning, making doubles of everything for a moment or two.
I want to protest about all of this, but no sound escapes my mouth and my eyes betray that thought.
As soon as my vision clears, Haizaki delivers a powerful kick to the side of my head and I soon kiss the ground for the fifth time this week.
Something warm makes it's way down my forehead and my vision blurries. Great, just perfect!
Yes, that was sarcasm.

"You're weak! And you're dumb! You should have been kicked out of the basketball club, not me!" My ex- teammate starts kicking my stomach along with his goons.
"AND YOU KNOW WHAT? YOU'RE JUST A TOY THAT'S ONLY MEANT FOR ENTERTAINTMENT! EVERYONE'S TIRED OF YOU! YOU SHOULD DIE ALREDY!!!" With one last kick, he started laughing with the two other boys and walked away.

It takes me some time to get up. Could you blame me? Those kicks of his can make even some of the teachers feel pain, let alone me, whose body is even weaker than it should be.
My everything is on fire! Even my insides are screaming for help!!!

I manage to walk properly with some support from the wall. My face is as blank as a white sheet of paper, just in case someone see's me.
I am feeling like someone's watching be, but that's absurd right?
Deciding to get home as soon as possible, I push these thoughts in the back of my head and keep walking forward.

Big mistake on your part though…

You might've noticed me…
