A Long Lasted Bond (Akechi X Reader)

8. Mixed feelings

I woke up, but something was off. But I didn't care either. I groaned quietly as I turned around again. It was now the most comfortable position I could hope for. I layed there for a minute or two, but then my eyes shot open. Know I knew what was off.

'Shit! How late is it?'

I didn't hear my annoying alarm! I whined as I was forces to get out of my comfortable position. I sat up, rubbed my eyes and unlocked my phone.

'10AM??!! WHAT THE-'

I noticed many messages, but I ignored them at first, jumped off of my sofa, was about to rush to my bathroom, but then I suddenly stopped. Why was I even rushing? I'm already pretty late, nobody would even care anymore. I played with the thought of staying home, but I promised myself I wouldn't skip so many classes anymore. I sighed and first checked my messages.

The most recent message was from Ryuji.

Ryuji:
Yo Y/N, where you at?

Ryuji:
Yo

Ryuji:
You skip class or somethin'?

I huffed. He also tried to call me. The next messages were from Ann. One from today and one still from yesterday.

Ann:
Hey, are you sure you're okay? Sure nothing happened? Should I stop by after school?

She was too nice. I ignored the fact she didn't even know where I lived. But I frowned at something. Was does she mean with "sure nothing happened?"?

I read the next message from yesterday.

Ann:
Hey Y/N, you home yet? Got something interesting to tell me? Maybe about a hot employee? ;)

I would laugh, but I couldn't. Not in my current mood. I didn't know what to do now. All I could think about is Akechi right now.

'Why did he show up just now? Why so suddenly? Did he know I work at Diner? And why did he go there all by himself?'

The questions won't stop popping up in my head. This all drives me crazy. I REALLY need a day off. I can afford it. School is not a big problem for me, fortunately. I had enough shit to deal with in my life...

I decided to stay home. I wrote a quick message to Ryuji.

Y/N:
Hey Ryuji, sorry for not showing up. I had a bad day yesterday and want to rest from it, so I decided to stay home for today. Sorry for not telling!

I thought about it for a bit. 'Should I tell them what happened? Although I'm not used to share my problems to anyone...I still feel the urge. Now that I have friends who cares for me...'

My heart got warm at the thought. I have caring friends...

My mind were interrupted by a vibration. Ryuji answered. I huffed and couldn't hold back a small smile. I knew he is on his phone during lesson.

Ryuji:
Whoa, what happened? You wanna talk about it? I'm free today, if you want!

He was so cute. But...as harsh as it sounds, I first wanted to talk with Ann about it. She is a girl, and maybe she understands my reaction and could give me an advice.

Y/N:
Sorry, Ryuji! Today is not good. But we could talk tomorrow. Then I'll go to school again too. If you're sure, don't wanna disturb you with my problems...
