Confused | Male Rivals X Shy Reader [On Hold]

Chapter 5

(Y/n)'s POV

Rising from the bed, my head aching as if my blood had been slowly rung out from my brain.

For some reason I felt confused and scared.

Maybe it was just a bad dream.

It'll leave me.

Taking a glance at the alarm clock, I give a sigh.

Time to go to school.

Well... meet Osano...

'I feel like I've already done this...'

My thoughts whisper as I repeat the same process as I always do.

Get out of bed, go to the bathroom, wash my face, brush my teeth, brush my hair, then go and change.

It hurt to try and break my schedule.

I twitched harshly when I tried to grab the pot instead of the pan.

My body seemed to not let me... strange.

Maybe it's just my gut...

Or that dream is just meant to play out into reality.

'No...'

I shake my head.

Maybe I should talk to someone about this... but who?

Osano is always quick to judge... and I don't know anyone at the new school.

Maybe I should talk to the counselor, but from old stories I've heard of interactions with counselors... that's the last thing I wanted to do.

Maybe I could write it down...

'Yes! That's what I'll do!'

I made myself some eggs and flipped to the back of my notebook.

My pencil touches the paper and I started to write...

'What was I writing about?'

I blinked curiously, starring at the spot where my pencil and the page had connected, a spec of graphite dark on the white paper.

The alarm on my phone went off, telling me that I had to go.

Suddenly, confusion was replaced by alarm.

'Crap! I need to meet Osano! He's going to be so mad!'

I look at the mess and decide that I'll list clean it up later.

I shove my journal back into my bag and bolt out the door, quickly locking it behind me.

Arriving at the spot me and Osano usually met at, I found he wasn't there.

'He's definitely not happy with me... especially if he left...'

I sighed and went to school, feeling... not very good.

Arriving at the school grounds I go in and to the fountain.

Placing myself down, I spotted Megamo from the corner of my eye.

"Good morning Megamo-Sama!" I greeted, just trying to be polite and have some form of conversation.

Megamo's cold stare met my mine.

"Likewise, (Y/n)-Senpai. You're here quite early."

Megamo commented.

"Ah... well I was waiting for my friend and we walk to school together and stop by a shop on the way. But I don't think he's going to be here today."

Megamo nodded at my words.

In the corner of my eye, I spotted a boy with black hair.

I think he was watching us.

Even if he wasn't, I got a bad vibe from him and I needed to get Megamo away.

"Well uh... I'm sorry for stopping you, but I have some things I need to do before class starts."

I voice up, sounding awkward and embarrassed, even though I wasn't.

"Alright. I'll see you around."

Thankfully, he left.

My anxiety went away and I did some work.

When the bell rang, I went to class.

The day went by pretty quickly and as it usually would.

At least... that's what I thought.

As the final bell rang and I started to head home, I was stopped by a man in uniform.

A police officer.

"Afternoon Shi. You're (Y/n) (L/n)?"

"Yes sir."

'What's going on...?'

He stared at me for a moment before continuing.

"I have to ask you a few questions. Today one of your fellow classmates was murdered."

A sudden panic came over me.

"M-murder...?!"

"Calm down, please. I just need to ask a few questions."

I didn't notice as I trembled in fear of a murderer in the school.

"Are you in Class-126?"

"No sensei."

"Did you know (Random Name)?"

"No sensei."

"Alright. You can go home."

"Thank you sensei..."

I left the school feeling uncomfortable.

The next day, I arrived at school with Osano, he said he didn't feel good yesterday.

We were all told to go to the auditorium, so we did.

In there was almost every student was gathered.

"Today we say goodbye............"

I didn't ph attention to what they were saying.

I still felt scared.

Scared they'd strike again.

"(Y/n)... are you alright?"

Osano called for me softly, brushing some hair out of my face.

"Uh... y-yeah... I'm ok"

Osano stayed quiet, but dropped it.

We soon left to actual class.

The day went as usual besides the small depression that follows death.

I didn't fell good in the middle of the day and went to Mujo.

"Welcome back (Y/n)-Senpai. What's the problem today?"

The male went over to me, and I was visibly upset.

"Is this physical?"

I shook my head.

"Do you need to talk?"

I nodded.

"I have time."

He said in a comforting voice.

"Alright... I think I had this bad dream last night... I don't remember what it was like, but I-I saw someone kill someone... a-and now someone is dead... I-it's freaking me out."

Mujo gave a small sigh then smiled.

"Be careful thinking about this. Maybe you need more sleep. But I know that you need to calm down. Everything is ok."

I nod and sigh.

"Everything is just so weird..."
