Complicated {Sequel to What Am I?}

Fourteen: Awkward

(Lunchtime)

"Why were you late this morning?" Ayano asked. "I was just... taking care of some stuff." I answered.

"Hanakõ was asking about you earlier. He wants to know if you want to hang out with him with his sister." She mentioned. "I'll see what I can do." I said. 

"Hey, lunch is going to end soon. You should eat something." Yan-kun mentioned. "I'm not really hungry." I answered. "Where's your boyfriend?" He asked. 

"I don't know. He's probably hanging out with Budo or Taro," I said. "I have to go."

"To where?" Yan-kun called, but I didn't answer. I went by the girls' bathroom and texted Nemesis-kun, asking where he'd might be. There was no reply. 

I tried calling him, and it went to voicemail. "Where is he?" I mumbled. I decided to go to his classroom to see if he was there, but he wasn't. 

Where could he have gone? As I was calling him a second time, I was walking past the Cooking Club until I thought I heard Nemesis-kun's voice. 

Just to make sure it wasn't, I peered inside and I saw him with Saki. It looked like she having him taste test some food she made. 

"I think it taste fine, Saki. But I really should be going. Amaya-" 

"Just one more! I think you'll like this one even better!" Saki interrupted him. Nemesis-kun sighed before trying another mini fruit tart. 

I narrowed my eyes at them. "Let him go, you whore," I muttered. "I won't let you steal him from me."

I walked away and went to the roof to cool off. I sat down on the ground while looking down at my lap. 

"Saki... Don't make me kill you. If you don't stay away from him, I'll just have to make you." I mumbled to myself. I frowned slightly as I squeezed my hand into a fist. 

"What are you muttering about?" 

I looked over to find Osorõ laying down beside me. "I'm sorry, I didn't know you were here," I apologized. "How much have you heard?"

"Not much. Just the part about you muttering something about staying away." He answered. "Oh...I guess I should go, then." I said. 

"You don't have to leave. You're not bothering me." Osorõ said. I stayed where I was and there was an awkward silence between us.

"Do you remember when we first met?" Osorõ suddenly brought up. "You mean when I fed you octo dogs?" I asked. 

"Not quite. I'm talking about from when we were kids." Osorõ said. 

"You remember?" 

"Of course. You helped me back then."

"I was just trying to be nice." I stated.

"Amaya, do you hate me?"

"Not at all. Why do you ask?"

"A few months back, you were pissed at me because your siblings were put in the hospital. After that, you avoided me. Then, you got beat up by-"

"It's all in the past, Osorõ. Forget about it." I interrupted him. 

"Hey, Osorõ... Is there anyone you like?" 

"Maybe? Why?" He answered. "Well... What would you do in order to keep that person close to you?" I asked. "I don't know." He said.

"Oh..."

With Nemesis-kun becoming popular with the ladies, I feel like I have to kill all the girls in the school except for Kuu Dere. "Osorõ, I shouldn't be here right now." I said.

"You have a boyfriend?" He asked. "Yes, and I'm supposed to be with him right now." I informed. "Then, why aren't you?" Osorõ questioned. "I..." I trailed off.

"Osorõ, I should probably get going. Class will..."

I looked down at him to see he had fallen asleep on my lap. "Uh..." What do I do? Do I just push him off, or do I just let him lay there?

Without waking him, I shifted over and gently lied his head on the ground. "Maybe I can politely ask Saki to stay away from Nemesis-kun." I told myself. 

And if she refuses, I'll just have to kill her the same way I killed Musume. I won't let anyone stand in the way between me and my Senpai.
