Cross-hairs (Akakuro)

Chapter 18

⚠️FLASHBACK⚠️ - Approximately 1 week after the argument with Akashi - The day Kuroko disappeared/ Got taken

Kuroko

I sigh gently as I look up at the roof, my back on the bed as I clutch my phone to my chest. I had called sei no Akashi a few times after the argument but no response. 

Well...It wasn't an argument... He just yelled at me a lot. 

He really hates me huh? 

Well...after he ignored my messages i decided to give him some space. I sigh gently and look at my alarm clock, I have an hour to get up and get to school. I best get changed and eat something...I'm not hungry. 

I pull myself up off the bed and grab my uniform, I was about to pull my shirt off before I glance at the window. I always thought someone was watching me....I've been feeling, Eyes on me for a few weeks now. I sigh gently and walk over, closing the curtains making sure no one can see through them. I walk back to my bed and pull my shirt off tossing it neatly in my laundry basket. I glance at my phone - I Keep hoping it will ring and it will be Akashi saying everything okay but he wont call. 

I sigh gently as I walk down the stairs towards the kitchen to grab something to force down. I silently place two pieces of bread in the toaster  and wait for it to Pop up again. I look around blankly Mom has already gone to work so I was on my own today I guess. 

I turn back to lean against the counter a I scroll through my phone randomly, I had done all my homework last night but why do feel like I'm forgetting something or somethings wrong. Eh I'm probably being over Dramatic. I jump and drop my phone on the table as the toaster pops up, I sigh  gently and glance at the time - Grabbing the two slices out the toaster and rush towards the door. I'm gonna be late but that's okay - no one notices me anyway.

I shudder gently - There's that feeling again the feeling of being watched. Its been happening constantly for weeks. I really need to stop with this paranoia, My mom says i'm just being anxious. I need to stop We need to start preparing for the next inter high, I shake my head gently and keep walking, I sigh gently as I force the last piece of toast down my throat having to force myself to swallow the mouthful. I wasn't really hungry and now I feel sick. I'm so ready for the day....Not. I have to keep focused on something else or my mind will latch onto akashi- I cant think about him right now. 

He was so angry at me that day. I ran without thinking, He didn't run after me or call me or anything. It must be true - He hates me. I must have done something to piss him off but I cant remember what - I'll have to apologies next time I see him. I give another small sigh as I walk into the classroom and sit in my seat. I stare blankly at everyone hanging around and talking to their friends - Kagami doesn't even talk to me in the mornings since hes always so grumpy. I lean back and wait for class to start.

Time-skip to after school and practice 

I take a deep breath as I walk out the gym everyone else had already left, I sigh gently as I walk back towards my house.I had tried to ignore the feeling of being stared at and I succeeded - Mainly because I was distracted by practice and school work. I look around the almost empty streets as I walk, May as well listen to music as I walk its been a habit of mine since Akashi stopped walking with me. I dig through my school bag for the headphones damn where are they? Did I forget them at home? Damn it. I sigh and keeps waling as I look around for them in my bag not focusing on where I was going. But the Streets were empty anyway so I'm not gonna bump into anyone.

I hear someone or something Kick a can somewhere behind me. I stop walking and look around. Who was that? Was that someone? Nah... It was probably just a cat or something nothing to worry about. I'm just jumpy lately, I sigh gently and start walking again quickly. I can feel someone closer to me someone watching me. I speed up and try to focus on the sound of my surroundings I can hear what sounds like footsteps. When I stop they stop, When I speed up - They speed up. I take a deep breath and turn around quickly.
