Chapter 3 - STOP IT PLEASE

(TW!! PTSD/ABUSE/BULLYING)

Classroom - 9:27 AM

"M-my name is Mukuro Ikusaba! The Ultimate Soldier..."

I froze for a second, i hadn't seen her in- such a long time...

Well, to say "long time" would be over exaggerating. I haven't seen her in maybe.... 9
months? That was when we broke up.

I rush to go help her pick up her stuff, in a hushed whisper I ask her, "How's it goin Mukuro? How have you been? It's been such a long time I barely recognized you!"

She chuckles, "I'm doing okay, how have you been Taka? I'm sorry I- You know, over reacted when we broke up. That was really immature of me.."

"It's alright! Water under a bridge!" I say whilst passing her papers over in a neat stack.

She takes them and smiles, putting them in her bag. She picks up the rest of the stuff, heads over to an empty seat, and sits down.

I take my seat too, and listen to what Mr. Munakata has to say.

"As I was trying to say earlier...tomorrow your dorms will be handed, and i'll assign you to your dorm mate. Please be here extra early so there is no confusion."

I make a mental note to be here earlier than usual tomorrow, maybe I could get Chihiro to walk with me?

Two hours pass by, and Mr. Munakata clears his throat. "Alright class, homeroom has ended, please procede to your next class on your schedule.

I get up and walk over to Mukuro. "Hey! We didn't have enough time to chat earlier, but i would like to make amends with you, if that's alright."

"You don't know how glad I am to hear that.. i've felt so guilty about my actions ever since we stopped talking.. Yes, i'd like to make amends with you."

I nod and give her my number, i had changed it since we stopped talking due of obvious reasons.

"I'll send you a text after school so we can meet up at some place and talk. We gotta go to class, see you later!" I wave and walk to class, monitoring the halls as well.

Mondo POV

After homeroom ended, I headed to the bathroom, following Leon and Hiro.

I open the bathroom door and walk in, with a pack of cigarettes in hand, and a lighter in the other.

"Yo Mondo! Leon and I were talking earlier, and were wondering if you were going to the party this Saturday." Hiro said whilst taking a cig.

"Party? What party? I didn't know there was a party this Saturday-" I responded, a bit surprised there was already going to be a party this early in the school year. But it's not like i never take down an offer.

"Bet, i'm going, who's hosting it?"

"This Junko girl from Homeroom" Leon answered.

"Ohh, do we need to bring a date to this party or is it just for fun-?" I asked whilst puffing out smoke

Hiro burst out laughing, "ABBSHSBS ITS A NORMAL PARTY MONDO, NOBODY IS BRINGING DATES QJDJSJ"

"HEY WHAT THE HELL?? I WAS JUST WONDERING-"

The door opens, I feel like a deer in headlights. Frozen. I prayed to God it wasn't a teacher, getting accepting into Hopes Peak was already hard enough, being expelled would be worse.

I turn around and see him. That boy from earlier, Kiyotaka was his name, if i'm correct. Kiyotaka Ishimaru.

"Oi what the hell?? You scared the living shit outta me ya' fuckin' freak!!" I spat out.

He frowns, and crosses his arms. "Hey! You're supposed to be in class right now!! And are those— Are those cigarettes???" He shouts whilst pointing at the pack of cigarettes on the sink.

I close the door quickly, get behind him, and put my hand over his mouth.

"Dude shut the fuck up- Were gonna get caught!" I say in an angry whisper

He tries to get my hand off of his mouth, kicking and trying to throw punches. He looked like he was about to cry.

He ends up digging his nails into my hand. I flinch back in pain, letting go of him.

He immediately starts coughing and trying to catch his breath. "DONT- DONT DO THAT AGAIN! I DONT WANT TO REMEMBER-" His eyes widen and covers his mouth in shock.

He looked embarrassed, but also terrified in a way.

It was the first time i'd seen him like this, i was confused, shocked, and bewildered.

In an attempt to calm him down extend my arm out to him, trying to put it on his shoulder.

"Uh- hey bro are you oka-"

He flinched and smacked my hand away, "DONT FUCKING TOUCH ME!"

He runs out the door and slams it shut, leaving me, Leon, and Hiro looking at the closed door in disbelief.

"Dude what the fuck happened to him-?" Leon spoke up after a short silence.

"I- i don't know, we should back to class, let's not talk about this, okay? For privacy's sake, the man looked like he was about to cry." I suggested.

They both nodded understanding the situation and made their way to class.
