"Um D-Daniel?" I heard it beside my ear as I was sitting in the classroom waiting for Atsuomi to come in.
It was Melissa standing there, calling out my name. She looked nervous, almost like someone forced her to ask me.
"So um.." She muttered.
"What is it?" I asked, trying to get some kind of response out of her.
"Can I talk to you more.. private?"
"I mean sure but why would you wanna talk to me of all people"
I followed her to a very particular spot, she seemed very uncertain as we walked but I guess it must be something awkward for her.. nevertheless I should handle this professionally, for the sake of my reputation.
We ended up in a very hidden location, the kind of location someone would ask each other out on. Wait a minute..
It can't be 'that' right..? Now things are getting scary..
"So um.." She looked around making sure no one else was there.
"So I got this e-mail yesterday from someone I didn't know.. I looked at it and it said 'Where are you, Melissa?' I don't know how to respond. It's scary."
This obviously isn't normal, why would someone wanna know where she is? Not to be rude but she isn't exactly the most interesting person, I'd better not say that out loud.
"Well, you shouldn't respond at all.. If you don't know who it is."
"That makes sense.. thank you but- I already responded.. is this really bad?"
She already responded? Well, certainly not the wisest decision but I'll get things to work out.
"Well okay, what did you respond exactly?"
"I told him that we could meet behind the school and he will be here in about 10 minutes"
So now I understand, she in actuality brought me here as a form of security and protection, certainly a creative choice i must say.
"Well then lets wait till he gets here and see what happens next"
A figure emerges from the corner of the building, luckily I had the time to hide myself before he noticed. He walked up to Melissa and started the conversation.
"I've finally found you my dear!"
"W-what do you mean-?"
"Don't you know? It's me!"
"I have no idea who you are.."
Something was strange, The person obviously has some kind of connection to her however she, herself completely denies them ever meeting before.
Nevertheless even if she does or dont know him it still doesnt justify this act to a highschooler..
I step out from the corner of the building. It took about 3 seconds for him to realize I was present.
"Step away from her unless you wana have that ugly face of yours stuck in a rock you fucker."
After these words uttered through my mouth he quickly withdrew but not entirely.
"The hell did you say to me idiot!?"
He didn't hesitate, quickly drew some sort of sharp object up his left pocket. I couldn't identify exactly what it was, however I knew for certain that I had to take action.
He didn't have time to react, before he even realized I wasn't standing in the exact same location as earlier
he panicked and looked around, however what he found wasn't me but only his own arm broken in 2.
"YOU FUCKER! OUCH! WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED- I CAN'T FEEL MY ARM!"
He stumbled onto the ground in agony.
How troublesome, I don't have time to deal with this shit.
"Hey Melissa, let's get out of here before someone sees us."
"Okay."
We walked back to the classroom as seamlessly as possible.
"What did you 2 wander off to?", asked Arisu.
"We were just talking about some things in private."
"Like what?"
"Nothing for you to be concerned about."
