Chapter 9: CHAPTER 8
Takashi is grumbling in his seat with Rei comforting him while giving me the stink eye. Don't blame me if you can't calm the raging emotions of your stupid boyfriend. Too bad you crazy girl you'll have to try a lot harder to get through to me. I've had worse. My black heart is happy. Nothing like putting a dog in its place.
A few minutes earlier
"excuse me?" that's me to Takashi.
"i'm saying that's a terrible idea, leaving the car, we can't possibly make it out on our own, we also don't know if we can trust you."
I keep quiet for a time. I was going to to this anyway but man you don't have to make it so easy for me.
"what reason do you have not to trust me?"
"you mentioned Shido way too quickly, it's almost suspicious,"
"now you're just saying things for the sake of saying things. I would gain nothing from lying to you, I need people I can trust, lies aren't a great way to start relationships, telling the truth however, is. Also if you trust Shido's words over mine, it's already over for you, you don't even need eyes to tell he's up to no good,"
Tip. If you're sowing discord like I am. You want to make yourself look good. Wow I'm really just talking to myself right now aren't I? something must be seriously wrong with me. I mean I didn't even go through a depressive episode when I came to this world. I wasn't even suffering in my previous life. I had a good loving family and an even better upbringing. Then again it's always the ones you least expect. At least I know myself, ignorance can be so annoying at times. Just imagine being with someone who is ignorant of their silly ways. Rei.
=present time=
"i can't take this anymore!" someone shouts from the back. I have pretty good idea who it is.
"i've tried and tried but I just can't take it anymore. I thought I could keep it in but I can't," what is this idiot on about? Get to the point already. Your voice is irritating.
"that guy," he says pointing at me. "he attacked someone. A human. One of us. Back at school," wow words are really powerful tools. Just a few well placed words and already everyone in the bus is looking at me differently. I of course say nothing, I really should but now that I think about it I don't even have any form of entertainment with me, games on my phone will only work to deplete its battery life.
The reactions of the people around me vary. I take my time with each one. Saeko is calm as always, what was I expecting there? Kikyo looks conflicted, I did after all order her to forsake the lives of her students. I should really talk to her and take responsibility, if I let her come to the conclusion that it was my fault on her own. I might be in real danger.
Saya is sceptical but she want to see where this goes, no complaints, Shizuka is driving I don't even think she notices us. I don't know whether that's a good or bad thing but that's neither here nor there. Kohta is also silent. Can't blame him, he doesn't know me but that will change soon. Now Rei and Takashi… they're having a fucking blast. Especially Rei. Her smug grin really makes me want to punch her.(I do not support violence against women)
But I think something is wrong. Takashi in the anime was a badass, the no nonsense type. I was on his side the second that slap was delivered. My greatest regret right now is not being there to witness that fiasco. I would have laughed so hard. So what's wrong with him now? did he get nerfed when I came here, or maybe he's just the overly jealous type. By now he's seen not only Saya but also Kikyo and Saeko whom he admires being close with me. Has the harem king felt true fear for the first time?
Unexpectedly, or rather totally expected for some, Shido comes to my 'rescue'
"student a(I can't be bothered to remember his name now can I?) are you sure about this? You may have seen wrong,"
"i'm telling you sensei, I saw it with my own two eyes, I can't do it, I can't trust that hooligan to not kill us in our sleep, who knows what else he's capable of,"
"if what you're saying is true, it would be rather concerning,"
"sensei you have to believe me, kick him out, I refuse to be near the man who killed my friend,"
Damn who was this kid, nice acting. Very entertaining. This will suffice for now, I wonder what will happen next. No one stands up to defend me and neither do I. this is too good.
"student," he doesn't know my name, "do you deny these accusations against yourself," I say nothing. I just stare at them, I'm trying to keep a straight face but I can't help but find this entire situation so damn funny… my bad habits are showing again.
But you can't tell me you wouldn't find this situation interesting at least, I wonder what will happen next.
