Kokichi's POV

I woke up with a bad taste in my mouth. I got up and did my usual routine before heading out to school. Yesterday was an experience I wish never occured. I was so afraid of Shuichi and I avoided him the whole day! Rantaro said it was alright, that I just can't look at him. Why was that such a hard request?! It's like my eyes where craving to look at the guy who beat up my bully! I walked into our schools courtyard and waited, wondering if Shuichi was serious. He said that I should tell him what I do, so does he mean everything? As I was lost in thought a hand grabbed my shoulder and pulled me around, then suddenly-

I woke up in the infirmary, bearing heavy headache and a bruise against my head. As I slowly sat up, I heard a loud bang by the door being swung open, and a two boys rushing towards me in concern. "Kokichi, are you alright?-" "Hey don't be so loud-" I held me head as it rung, aching and sending pain all throughout. The two backed away and after a while I look up to see Shuichi and Rantaro. "Wh-What.. Happened..?" Shuichi was the first to speak, "Kaito decided he was going to try and beat you up in front of the whole school!-" "But we stopped him, he's being talked to from the principal." These two.. Are polar opposites. "So Kaito is back huh.." Rantaro nodded and Shuichi chirped in, "He won't be for long! I'm sure the principal has to suspend him?"

It was lunch by the time I left the infirmary, and when I walked into class it went quiet. I gulped and walked to my seat, turning around to Shuichi and covering my face from everyone as I looked out the window. I couldn't believe I was starting to cry over this.. "Hey, Kokichi?" "Ah!-" I snapped back into reality and looked at Shuichi, "Y-Yes?" He looked at his hand then back at me, "Are you.. Okay?" I stared at him confused and ran my eyes down his arm then to his hand- Ah! I pulled my hand from his, not realizing that I went to hold it as support. I shook my head and coughed, stubbornly eating from my bento to avoid the conversation from continuing. How stupid am I to do that?! He's shown interest in me and suddenly my heart has the guts to make me lose control of my own body? How horribly embarrassing today is..!

Ding ding

As per usual, lunch is over and class starts up again. I turned back over to my desk and put my head down immediately. I needed to run everything through my head again so it all would finally make sense. Kaito bullied me once and Shuichi decided to beat him up, and if Kaito threatens me again, what will Shuichi do? The thought if someone protected you would be amazing, like a knight with his prince. B-But this is absolutely different! Shuichi is willing to hurt someone for me, what else is he willing to do..? That thought- it terrifies me! If Shuichi is willing to kill for me, that would be horrible. Wh-What if he has yandere-like tendencies?! Wpuld he kidnap me if I reject him again..? Agh, this school is hell! It may be better then before but this is completely new thinking for me! I rubbed at my head as I waoyed for that bell. It would reveal.. Everything.

Ding dong

And that's the bell. I got up and grabbed my bag. "Hey Kokichi, is your head still hurting?" Shuichi was concerned for me, yet I could sense something else. I've felt this from him before, what is it? "O-Oh yeah, m-my head doesn't h-hurt as much..!" I tried giving him a reassuring smile, but his eyes where like daggers in suspense. I turned and left for the exit, running into Rantaro, "Heyy Kokichi, my guy, how's your head holding up?" "I-Its fine..!" I said in an annoyed tone, what is this? Why are they swarming me? I groaned as I shoved past him, leaving and making my way out of the school. Or at least, i wish I could. I felt a pull at my collar, a choking noise coming from me. "Dumbass! Your weak little body almost got me expelled!" I recognized that voice, it was a raging Kaito in his worst yet. I felt a sold hit to my stomach and I fell back, a shock of pain surging through my body. "You deserve whayever pain you receive, got it nerd-" In a second, Kaito Momoto was on the floor. Shuichi walked over his body as if it was a corpse and pulled me to my feet. "Wh-what did you?-" "I saved you. I hit his neck point and knocked him out, something I learned from Maki. Girl can swing.." I stepped away from him, terrified. I knew it! He was crazy! I started crying as I ran to my house, knowing it was far but I sure as hell didn't want Shuichi to catch up to me. After miles of running I ran into my house and locked it, a few seconds later a light knock came from my door. "Kokichi..?" I heard his muffled voice and I slid down the door, not knowing what to do. "Kokichi please- look I'm sorry if i scared you, but it was the only option! Kokichi?!" This went on for a few more minutes until silence finally took its place. I slowly pulled myself up and stumbled to my bed, plopping down and sobbing into my pillow. I can never keep a friend, can I? That thought circled my head repeatedly, the buzzing of my phone turning into a white noise, giving me a slow, dreamless sleep, and I slipped into unconsciousness..
