CHAPTER 22: CHANGE OF PLANS

It's biology hour.  Basically it's a room designed for those of our kind to get in and relax.  I don't dislike it, it's well done.  Of course, since I'm the only arctic wolf in the group, the temperature is a little warm for me.  But it's nothing I can't handle.

I'm sitting and I've got my eyes on Legoshi who's sitting in front of me, even though he doesn't notice it.  He seems thoughtful. He's gazing at the moon.

As I gander him, suddenly some hands cover my eyes, without letting me see. 

?: Guess who~.

Hearing the playful voice, and knowing that we're in the wolf room, I think it is a very obvious answer. I chuckle.

Y/N: Good to see you Juno.

She takes her hands off my face and sits next to me.

Juno: Aw How'd you know it was me?

Y/N: Intuition I guess.

Juno: Oh I adore this hour.  At last we can all get together so it's like we're in the same class!

While Juno makes her enthusiastic comments to me.  I keep peeking at Legoshi.

A few minutes pass when I see Legoshi get up and leave the biology area. Where's he going?  I keep talking to Juno, I must think of an excuse to go out ... Or I'll just say I need to go out.

Y/N: Yeah.. Oh, Hey Juno, I have to get out.  I forgot I have to do something.

Juno: Oh!  Okay.

I get up and walk out of the environmental room leaving Juno in doubt of what I'm doing.

I go out just to see Legoshi across the hall.  Where's he going?  I follow him cautiously.  I don't know what he's up to.  I don't even know if he's up to something.

I follow him across the hallways and up the stairs.  I catch him up.  He's taking a look at the view from a window, feeling the sunlight.

I see him from a distance.  And I hear him mumbling a song, plus he's wagging his tail.  He looks happy. What's making him so glad?

Legoshi: Oh, hi Y/N.

Y/N: UH Legoshi ?!  U-Uh hi..

WAIT, HE KNEW I WAS SPYING ON HIM ?!  OH GOD! HE DIDN'T EVEN TURN TO SEE ME.

Y/N: Uhh .. h-how did you know I was here?

Legoshi: I smelled you.  Remember that us wolves have a good nose.

Y/N: Oh hehe yeah ... sure, I uh ... I forgot.

He continues to stare at the view.  So I approach him to accompany him and contemplate it too.

Legoshi: And what brings you here?

Y/N: Uhh well I ...

What am I supposed to tell him? I feel like there's less and less chance that he is a murderer.  I don't know if he's a psychopath who knows how to fake his behavior but ... I doubt it.

Legoshi's not looking at me, he looks up at the sky and waits for me to respond. I take a deep breath and prepare to ask Leogoshi a risky question.

Y/N: Legoshi ... did you ... know Tem? ..

Legoshi turns to gape at me.  It's a really awkard question but I must know something.

Legoshi: I uh .. why do you ask?

He gets nervous, I don't know if it's because he knows something or because of the subject.  I feel bad asking him, he looked so calm before I came.

Y/N: I ... ask because ... I never met him and ... well he went to the drama club and you've been here for a while and ... I ... the truth is...

My hands sweat and I stumble over my words.  I made this uncomfortable again .. I look at him and I can see that he notices my nerves.  I sigh as I order my thoughts so I don't get stuck talking.

Y/N: I just ... I would've liked to have known him ... the thing is ... maybe if I had ... things would be different ...

What I say doesn't stray far from what I think. Legoshi changes his expression to a more compressive one.  He stares at me and then turns to look outside.

Legoshi: ... Yes .. I knew him.

I find out that he's finally opening up a bit with me. He squints at me as I approach him to listen.

Legoshi: Tem was ... a good friend of mine. He was friends with everyone at the drama club actually.  He was social and he got along well with carnivores like us.

I look at Legoshi as he speaks.  He appears to be lost in his memories.

Legoshi: Still, he could be kind off shy.  I could sense his shyness with a girl named Els.  I was the only one who knew he was in love with her...

Oh dear .. It's hard to hear this knowing that this guy is no longer with us.

Y/N: Wow ... and Els ... never knew it?

Legoshi: ... She found out a day after his death.

Y/N: ..She did?

Legoshi: Tem had a letter, to which he dedicated his love to her.  He ... never dared to give it to her. When he died ... I ... I had to tell her ... so I gave it to Els.. for Tem.

My ears tilt, that's the saddest thing I've ever heard.  Legoshi's eyes reflect an immense sadness.

Y/N: I ... I'm sorry to hear that.  It must've been very tough.

Legoshi: .... It was.

I watch the sunset with him.  I feel the sun, throwing its  warm rays of sun at us. In a few moments, we'll go and present the play.

Legoshi mirrors sorrow for Tem.  I'll stop lying to myself .. He could NOT have killed him.  No murderer would ever show such sadness in the eyes of such loss.

He .. attacked Haru, and has shown strange behaviors but ... It couldn't have been him.  I'm confused. If he didn't murder Tem.....

...Then who?
