Kokichi p.o.v.

Once we all get back to the theater room we're just told to put our heads on our desks and stay quiet. I of course do what I'm told trying to blend in, but I'm not really ever a quiet person.

End of day

Finally this wretched school day is over I spot Shuichi and Rantaro and practically sprint to them. I really need to talk to them.
"GUYS!"
"Are you ok? The prop was switched for a real spear and I'm afraid you are going to take the blame."
"Rantaro, how'd you figure that out?"
"It was kinda obvious that they were switched, I just don't know who did it."
"Saihara-chan you've been awfully quiet you didn't even say hi to me. Are you feeling okay?"
"you did it.....didn't you." W-what did he say?!
"I couldn't hear that please speak up."
"IT WAS YOU!"
"What makes you think that?" Stop freaking out it'll be fine.
"You said that you were doing props even if you were assigned lights and sound. You said you were going to 'end everything at this school' clarifying that you weren't taking your own life. Everything that happened today was you leading up to betraying me."
"B-betray you I would never betray someone I l- care for. How sick would someone like that be?!"
"Look in the mirror Kokichi, look in the mirror."

With that he walked off in the direction of his house. I wanted to follow him to explain why I did this all, but I couldn't make myself move. I fell to the ground and just sat there. I'm coming back next year I can fix everything. Rantaro walked up to me and helped me up, we walked to his house in silence. He doesn't want to believe it but he knows it's true, we're going to have a long talk about this I can already tell

My phone buzzes I look and it's Shuichi. Why is he texting me.

'Why did you do it?'
'I already told you. Everyone hates me I'm the ultimate supreme leader, they need to know I'm in charge.'
'So you're just going to scare everyone into submission so you can rule with an iron fist?'
'Shuichi, it's not like that I just wanted to prove that I'm not just a weak, stupid, short, pathetic, worthless highschool nerd. I thought you'd understand being the person I can lean on in times of trouble.'
'If you do come back next year don't talk to me if this happened because of me we can't talk anymore.'
'O-okay I'll try.'

I turned off my phone and looked at Rantaro with tears forming in my eyes. He got the message and brought out a bucket of cookies and cream ice cream and a spoon. I start shoveling it into my mouth while we watch anime. He really was a good friend.

"So I know you're in a bad mood but why did you do it?"
"To prove that everything I was told was wrong. I don't want to keep talking about it though."
"Is there anything you want me to tell Shuichi?"
"How'd you know?!" I hit him with the pillow next to me.
"Hahah it's because you make it super obvious. I don't know how he can't tell."
"Well I guess there is one thing you could tell him for me next year."
"What's that."
"I want you to tell him I love him. Even if he still hates me he needs to know."
"Anything for the gremlin king."
"Shut up you avocado farmer."

After that we kept watching the anime. It was about these male volleyball players and it's pretty interesting. After the episode ends I fall asleep on his couch I didn't want to go to my house. It was empty due to my parents not giving a shit and leaving for 'business reasons'. Yeah right they probably just didn't want to deal with a lying, gay son.

I finish my thoughts and drift to unconsciousness.

A/n finally the end of the flashback I hope I made it so that mostly everything's explained. Sorry about not being able to post yesterday and the short chapter. I was busy with homework. From now on I'll try to post on weekends.
