Chapter XII

...

"That was... Detsu Kanadeo, and.... Hiroki.." Misaki whispered. Kumika's face darkened and she shut down the phone.

".....Maybe it's edited! let me see-" Misaki attempts to keep her calm and take the phone. But she belligerently stood up before she could do it.

Kumika's approaching me. This is my perfect chance.

"Hey Kumika!"

She's looking down on her phone.

"Do you... want to play a game or something?"

...

...!

She thumped Hiroki up his chin.

"A GAME!? YOU'RE ALREADY PLAYING A FUCKING GAME."

Akira tries to interfere but Misaki held him back.

"What are you talking about!?"

"DO I LOOK LIKE A STUPID DARE TO PLAY TO YOU!? HOW'S GETTING STARTED WITH ME LIKE."

She played the voice mail at his face, and couldn't resist to throw it onto the ground after. The screen broke.

"I ALREADY CANCELLED THAT BULLSHIT! BELIEVE ME KUMIKA! I WOULD NEVER."

...

"I told them I was done with it.. They weren't even my friends, they were acquaintances. I am not faking.."

.
.
.

"I thought there was something.
I thought I was someone.
But in the end,
I'm just worth thirty dollars for you."

...

"Please." He begged as she walked away.

...

"I like Kumika Ito. More than my thoughts to feel alive! I always thought my life would lead me into a cliff. Not until I met her. Please. Listen.." Hiroki finally confessed his adoration. But when he looked up, she already went off, all of them. He was left at the top of the school, alone..

He started shedding tears on the floor.

.
.
.

"Well well well."

"You seem to have, failed."

...!

Detsu appeared.

Hiroki gets up and charged at Detsu, pinning him against the wall.

"What the FUCK DO YOU WANT?" Hiroki shouted.

"Hahaha. I thought I was also a someone.. an acquaintance? Ouch. That hurts for me.."

Hiroki clobbered his nose.

"Pf. No matter what you do to me, you're game over. Hiroki."

What's this all about!?

"...I should be the one playing now." Detsu whispered in Hiroki's ear.

...!

Detsu jabbed him off, causing him to fall on the ground.

"KUMIKA MET ME FIRST. BUT WHY IS SHE ENTERTAINING A FREAK LIKE YOU!?" Detsu ranted.

"What the fuck do you mean!? She doesn't even realize you exist, she just transferred here!"

Detsu started battering him with his fists.

"I KNEW HER BEFORE ANYONE ELSE. SHE WAS THERE WHEN I NEEDED SOMEONE. HER HANDS WERE SO SOFT- I CAN'T EVEN DESCRIBE THE FEELING.. I HAVE TO BE WITH HER AGAIN."

Could it be..

Detsu saw Kumika's phone on the ground and wanted to intrude personal files of Kumika.

"YES. OUR PICTURES. IT COULD BE HERE."

He's fucking crazy...

Hiroki managed to swap positions with him, clipping him onto the ground without hurting him so he could speak up.

"You're a psychopath." Hiroki intimidates and tries to trigger him.

"YOU ARE. I TOLD YOU TO GET HER NUMBER NOT TO GALLANTLY HAVE ANY PHYSICAL CONTACT WITH WHAT BELONGS TO ME."

He's not just a programmer, but a hacker. He hacked a recorder onto the dice, saving all of our conversations. That's why he was always holding it, even when there's no game. He even remembered and caught a glimpse of Kumika's number after I showed it a split-second. They've been in a Communis before, that's what he's applying to. Had this dick been eavesdropping and spying on us the whole time?

"Look at what you've done, she's evidently going to accept Japan's moving invite now. Unlike you, I have something planned to stop her and, you know..heh." Detsu stopped as he said another inkling plan of his.

This made Hiroki trepidate and forced him to rush to his house and figure out what to do. He was severely injured and had bruises all over his body.

"Hiroki? What happened to you!?" His mom said, in panic. Hiroki has a weak body and had Osteoporosis in the past. He was crippled enough to fall on their carpet. His mom immediately looks for bandages to patch him up.

.....

"Who did this to you." She asked. "I just fell from the stairs because-" Hiroki tried to lie about it. "I'm not dumb, your face has fist marks." She remarked.

"Did something go wrong with you and, Kumika?" She asked. "D-Don't get it wrong! She didn't do this to me, it was someone else." He answered.

"I know.

I may not know the whole story between you two, but. Kumika sounds like such a sweet girl. If I were you, I wouldn't let go of a precious flower which the reason behind my smile is it's petals. Whatever you're thinking, don't break her heart, dont do the same thing, your father did to me." Hiroki's mom said.

....!

"Before things are too late, talk to her, as soon as possible." She said, as she stood up and prepared to cook for dinner.

The ominous full moon shone, a dim light of plague tonight. A supposed to be significant night were vivid memories are made, became a mix of grim and loathsome feelings.

...

"I passed the primary exam. They said I could be accompanied by relatives. We'll be provided a suite for a week in Tokyo. That's if, you want to." Kumika told her parents about it. But didn't mention one thing.

"Is that all?" Her mom asked.

"...Yes."

Kumika's plan is to tell them she's been invited to the High Class University when they actually get there, to avoid the hindrance in making a decision. She assumed she would go alone but they unexpectedly reacted different this time.

"We were hoping you would. And you did, congrats." Her mom said.

Am I dreaming, no. I was expecting to hear those words, from my only friends today. Who would've thought. Maybe this is my fate. I'm meant to be a temporary person to everyone's life. Maybe this is how it is..
