Betrayal

5

Nishikata took a deep breath as he grabbed onto the handle of the sliding door to his classroom. He hadn't been there for over a month, and he was worried that people might have forgotten about him because of that. Swallowing his doubts, he firmly pulled open the door and walked in. He was surprised to see nobody in the room. His mind scrambled to try and come up with a reasonable explanation for why everybody had disappeared when suddenly, he heard a loud cry come up from behind him, surprising him. As he turned around, he saw Akari-San jump out and hug him, whilst behind her, all his classmates filtered out of their hiding spots to welcome him back. Except one. He was astonished that he had noticed, but he realized that Takagi-San was nowhere to be found. He pushed the thought to the back of his mind, preferring at that moment to simply celebrate his return with his classmates and friends.

Hiding behind a pillar in the corridor looking into the classroom, a heart full of jealousy stood Takagi-San, still with that same creepy smile she had on when she figured out her plan. It was time for her to change the entire situation and change her unrequited love into the perfect relationship.

*TIME SKIP*

Nishikata had finally completed his first day back at school and he was ready to go home. He was about to walk out of class when suddenly the door opened in front of him. He looked up from his phone to see Takagi-San right in front of him. He noticed that as soon as the class saw her, everybody went silent, wanting to see what would happen next. As he looked back at Takagi-San, he saw her blush, the first time he had seen that in a while. He saw her mouth open to speak and he decided that he would be friendly to her like they had used to be before he went into hospital. 

"Hey Nishikata, do you wanna walk home together?"

"Sure thing Takagi-San". 

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, he heard the entire class around him gasp in shock. As he turned to face all of them, he didn't see Takagi-San giving Akari-San a smug smirk, knowing that part one of her plan had succeeded. Nishikata quickly locked eyes with Akari-San, and was shocked to see her giving him a death glare. He quickly realized that the entire class was giving the two of them a death glare. Confused by this, but not wanting to cause any more trouble, he grabbed onto Takagi-San's hand, surprising both her and Nishikata, and pulled her out of the class so they could start walking home. 

Akari-San felt worried, and she could feel the unease all around her in her classmates. She had completely forgotten to tell Nishikata the real reason why he had to save Takagi-San from the car, and the entire class felt the Déjà vu kicking in.

This was the exact same scenario as what had happened a month prior, the same day that Nishikata was sent to the hospital. His classmates were expecting the worst.
