I immediately got up on my feet and apologized. "Oh my god! I'm so sorry!" I yelled, bowing my head down to my schoolmate. "Hm? Oh... It's alright" Geiju spoke as I brushed off my skirt. "W-Well sorry again!" I yelled to the boy before running out embarrassed to catch up to a smirking Midori.
I decided to go home, I opened to door in took a big inhale. I live alone, My parents are working overseas, I do come from a pretty wealthy family and my parents send me money every month to get by. I went upstairs to my room and removed my clothes and grabbed a towel, I went to the bathroom and started up a bath.
I woke up late, my belly growled, I haven't been eating much and I can't eat now. If I eat, I'll get fat and I'll be ugly. Ugh but my stomach hurts so much.. Maybe a snack won't hurt. I got up and headed to the kitchen but there wasn't anything there. "I guess I needed to go food shopping sooner or later" I mumbled to myself. I went into my room and changed into some clothes and shoes. I went downstairs and grabbed my money, I went outside and walked to the store, sadly, do the the darkness, I couldn't see where I was going. I made an accidental turn into an alley where I saw some shady looking men who noticed me an grinned. This shit again. I backed up slowly before running. "Why is it always me?!" I continued to run, hearing the loud footsteps behind me. I took a turn down another alley, boxes on the corner where I was pulled behind, I was slammed against the wall of the building and I felt a hand covering my mouth. "Where have I seen this before?" I heard a familiar voice, I turned around to see Umeji, he let go of me after the men had disappeared, I noticed he was in a T-shirt and shorts. "Uhm is that really suitable to wear outside?" I said, looking and his shorts. "What are you, some sort of pervert?" He retorted, guess he still hates me. His arms were crossed and he towered over me, "okay I'm not gonna lie right now, this situation is pretty hot" I had never spoken so seriously in my life, it took Umeji off guard and I could see his cheeks tented pink. "Tch, you shouldn't go around saying that to guys" He refused to look at me, he seemed to be annoyed and looked as if he wanted to leave yet stay. "Well it's not like you care" I suddenly spat, catching Umeji off guard and started to walk away. "He-Hey wait!" He sounded angry but when I turned to face him, his expression was soft, it took me off guard and I felt very conflicted and confused seeing it. "Where are you heading?" He calmly asked as he walked back torwards me, looking down to face me. I was 5'3 and he was around 5'10-6'0. "Why do YOU care?" I spat and turned away, my arms crossed which seemed to conflict him. "Dude you were just chased by a bunch of rapists, it's around midnight and here you are just walking around?" He explained, my eyes rolling at his words. "You're literally out here in ugly ass shorts"
"Okay well I'm a guy, where the hell are you going?" Umeji started to get very annoyed with me refusing to cooperate. "Ugh fine, I'm headed to the grocery store" I finally compromised and told him. "At 1 AM?" He seemed confused and doubtful. "I'll come with you" Umeji stretched and walked closer to me, "uh why?" I asked, tilting me head. "So you don't get raped" Umeji grabbed my wrist and dragged me out of the alley". "Tch... Why do you care if I get raped?" I asked angrily, still upset at what he said to me. Umeji turned to face me "What does that mean?" He asked. "I thought you wanted nothing to do with me" I pulled my arm away from the boy, his face grew dark and he turned around, not facing me "Just shut up and come on.." Umeji grabbed my hand and took me to the store. I just grabbed a few oranges and headed to the check out area but was stopped by Umeji. "Is that it?" He asked. "I beg your pardon?"
"You need to get more than that"
"I don't have the money" I responded, Umeji let out a sigh and grabbed a bunch of different, healthy foods. He practically dragged me to the check out area and scanned everything. Umeji grabbed some money out of the pocket of his shorts.
"Umeji you really don't have to-" "Just shut the hell up" Umeji spat, I noticed him sneak a glance at my stomach which made me feel nervous. Umeji paid for the groceries and we left the store. "Why did you pay?" I asked him nervously, Umeji looked at me with a soft gaze. "You didn't have the money yourself and... I-... You need to eat more" My eyes widened in shock. How did he know? I looked away sadly. Next thing I knew, we had arrived at my house. "Hey.. Thank you" I turned to face Umeji which caught him off guard. "And I'm sorry for bothering you again.. I promise to stay away from you for now on" I turned away from him but I felt his hand grip my upper arm and pull me into his warm embrace. "You're an idiot, ya know?" He smirked at me before letting me go and and leaving. I felt my cheeks heat up intensely. "But he still wants nothing more to do with me.."
