Bring Me Up
Chapter 2 Part 8
The fifth lesson ended with another bell.
"Did something happen at lunch?" Minato asked curiously.
"Tanabe demanded to stay away from you."
"And?"
"She infuriated me, and I rejected."
"Awesome."
Tanabe burned me with her eyes. I did not die.
"You were told: Stay away from Rica", and you: "I reject!" Some real warrior of love!"
"Wait, what?"

The sixth lesson ended. Cla.s.s ended. The cla.s.sroom was filled with the sounds of desks and chairs being moved. I immediately jumped from my seat and ran out from the cla.s.s. It is time to deal with the business Minato entrusted me with. 2-3. 2-2. 2-1. I ran past three cla.s.ses, and from my own, left far behind, the crowd filed out. I could feel their eyes on my back. I haven"t caught Fushimi"s figure yet. It seemed like my cla.s.s ended before everyone else"s. With a small delay, students started to come out of from other cla.s.srooms. The hallway slowly began to fill up, and so I won"t stand out. I mixed into it.
I"ve never cleaned anyone"s pockets having planned it in advance. My attacks were always targetting something that was infuriating me. Of course, this "something" did not have a specific definition. It was impossible to describe it as a "who" or "what". "Something". I always called the target of my attacks "something".
Minato ran past me and seemingly smiled at me, turning for a moment. But maybe I was imagining it. I habitually evened out my breath and gathered my strength. I merged with my surrounding and turned into something like a shadow. And started walking. Time slowed down.
A flow of students were walking past me, whose names and faces I did not know. The light, that streamed through the windows lit my face up. I tried not to meet people"s eyes, walked into the shade, then again into the sun, and with my whole body I showed that I"m not rushing anywhere. Fushimi got closer. No one understood my intentions. Fushimi. I walked past him. Got into his pocket. A-and – Fushimi"s smartphone was in my pocket.
And now, we leave. I decided to slip into the nearest cla.s.sroom and wait until Fushimi goes further and gets to the door.
And.
I was grabbed by the shoulder.
Having turned around, I saw Fushimi"s face.
"Let"s go outside?"
