Chapter 005.6: So Cold Part 5

Where are they going?

This is the 4th floor and they're still going up.

What the fuck are they planning to do?

Why would he choose this place to eat lunch instead of eating at the canteen where he could show off his closeness with miss Hecate?

Fuck. He's planning something terrible!

I won't allow that to happen you fucking coward!

I opened my phone and prepare the camera for later use.

I'll record once he assaulted miss Hecate. I can use that to blackmail him.

And haha, miss Hecate will thank me. Then that will be the start of her affection for me.

Now I see. Their final destination is the rooftop.

He's really an idiot, huh.

The rooftop has rare visitors given that entry is prohibited by the school and besides, it's hot out there but few still comes.

Assaulting miss Hecate there is a risky move. If I am him, I would have brought miss Hecate to a hotel room or something.

I can't believe she'll follow him here though. Looks like she trusts him that much.

How dare he take advantage of her!

For now, I'll wait.

I have no visual because I remained inside. There's no shade other than the side of this bulkhead and they will notice me if I will go there.

It's fine. We're only separated by a wall. I can still hear them.

They speak softly though.

I can barely hear their voices.

But I'll noticed if something is going on already once miss Hecate shouts.

That's when I'll come out.

Fuck. What are they talking about? I can't make sense of it.

I can't understand it.

They seem to be arguing.

Did miss Hecate found him out?

Whatever.

“NO SHUT UP!”

Oh!

“I told you I won't listen to you anymore!”

This is my cue!

I put my phone in the pocket of my polo shirt. The back camera faces the front. It's currently recording.

“HEY!”

I pointed at the pale kid sitting on the ground who is getting scolded by miss Hecate.

Haha! Deserve!

“What are you doing to miss Hecate?!”

“.......”

He remains silent and motionless.

Fuck. He's scared!

Of course he would.

I caught him after all.

Oh man. This feels good.

“Eli-chan, you should stop cutting me off.”

“Shut up.”

What?

Did he just ignore me?

No. He's just playing tough!

“What? Kid, are you disappointed? Perhaps scared. Stop acting tough and give up!”

“Eli-chan, sit.”

How dare he order her around like that.

What?

She obeyed and sits beside him. She looks angry though.

He's blackmailing her isn't he?

“Hey! What did you do to her?!”

Fuck it's hot. I run towards them and hides under the shade.

The kid is only a meter away from me now.

“I understand that you're mad Eli-chan. So fine. I won't say much for now. But I never said that I don't accept you for who you are.”

What the fuck?

So dramatic.

This disgusts me.

Miss Hecate didn't say anything. She remains looking away from him.

“...ust... Shut up...”

No! She mumbled something. I couldn't hear it though.

Is she sending me an SOS signal?

“Don't worry miss Hecate. I'll save you from him!”

“Hello B-mac. Are misunderstanding something?”

“Who are you calling ‘B-mac’?! I have a name!”

“‘B-mac’, short for ‘Baked mac’. I have a good naming sense don't I?”

“Fuck you! Don't call me that! I am ‘Marc’!”

“It's my pleasure to meet you, B-Marc.”

This bastard... He's annoying me.

“Stop mocking me or you'll regret it!”

“I am not. Anyway, I am ‘Mark Reverren’. Call me ‘Mark-kun’ as a sign of friendship.”

Agh! Gross.

“FUCK YOU! I'm already disgusted with the fact that we have the same name. Who would want to be your friend?!”

“Ohh. My name is spelled with ‘K’ by the way. Is yours the same?”

“I don't give a fuck! One letter difference doesn't make it better. It's still disgusting!”

“I see. So yours is really spelled with ‘C’. Fumufumu. Nice to meet you.”

What the hell is wrong with this guy?

“Ha! You're just acting brave aren't you? Trying to calm yourself down?”

“Oh hell. Looks like we're really having a misunderstanding here.”

“Really? You think I'll believe you? I know you tried to assault miss Hecate!”

“Oh. You saw us that time?”

He admitted it.

This bastard....

“What? Disappointed that it didn't worked well. Fear not miss Hecate. He wouldn't be able to touch you with me being here!”

“I see. I am the villain here. And you're the hero. Eli-chan is the princess. What is our plot here?”

“Yes. You're the fucking villain. So give up now!”

It looks like miss Hecate is terrified she looks to be in daze.

She haven't look at us since earlier.

“Hey KID! What did you do to her?!”

“Ehh... I don't fully understand your storyline but... Hmm.. I'll play along with you.”

“Shut up and tell me!”

“Oh hell. You love shouting don't you?”

“Stop delaying things!”

“Yes yes. Very well. I just kind of hurt her feelings. That's all.”

“What? How dare you.”

I don't know what he did exactly but I'll just ask miss Hecate later.

Time to beat him up.

“Are we gonna fight now?”

What? He noticed me. But I haven't shown any movement yet.

He patted miss Hecate and walks towards me slowly.

What an idiot. Coming closer instead of running away.

“You should put your phone down first. It will break you know.”

Did he noticed that I'm recording this?

“Yes of course. It's pretty obvious fufufufufu.”

He read my mind?!

“I didn't read your mind.”

“!!!!”

“Fuf-hahahahahahahaha! You're so easy to read!”

“Grr...”

Fuck!

He's mocking me.

This bastard....... I'll kill him!

I punch him.

*Swish~*

He sidestepped.

Lucky bastard.

Then try to dodged a left hook.

“!!”

He evaded it?

I whip my leg to his side.

*Swish~*

I didn't hit him!

“Hmmp. You're pretty slippery.”

“Am I?”

He walks towards me again.

“Fuck you!”

This is a full powered right jab. I'll crush your jaw you cowardly motherfucker!

“Oh. Sorry. It's time for me to leave. This play is over...”

Wait... Eh?

What the...

My vision...

It's blurry..?

What the heck happened?

I couldn't punch him..!

I eventually weakened and my body numbed so I couldn't hit him.

*Thud!*

The floor is hard and cold.

My cheekbone hurts.

I feel sluggish. I can't move a muscle. I don't understand what just happened.

But I have no time to think because my consciousness is slipping away along with the sounds of footsteps slowly vanishing away...

*Swoosh~*

It's cold.

Where am I?

“!!”

Right!

Oh. Wait.

What the..?

Where am I?

Where's that kid?

Where's miss Hecate?

I can't see them around here.

No. What time is it anyway?

My phone!

Oh, it's in the pocket of my pants.

「03:17 PM」

「Fri, July 16」

I slept for almost three hours?

What the hell happened?!

“!!”

Right! That kid wanted to assault miss Hecate but I stopped him.

I fought him... But he is lucky and slippery.

Then I got knocked out?

How did that happen?!

Fuck!

*Ping!*

A message notification came out.

【Where are you now?

Fuck. It's dad. I forgot I need to go to him by 3:30.

【I'm still at school dad!】

【Hurry up then】

【Why do I even needed to go there?】

What do you want?

【I'll introduce you to a job. Our supermall have a job opening which I think you can handle】

What?!

【No way. I'm too young to work!】

【Shut up! Just come over here. Or you can pack up and leave my house!】

Agh. Fuck!

This is annoying!

I pressed the homescreen button.

My homescreen wallpaper is a pale boy smiling stupidly while showing a peace sign. He uses his other hand's finger to poke the cheek of a sleeping guy beside him.

What the fuck... That fucking kid....!

Touching my face, I confirmed that the wallpaper on my phone is true. I felt the dry ink of a pentel pen on my skin.

That shitty kid. He drew a piece of macaroni on my cheek. Then had a selfie with me using my phone and made it my homescreen wallpaper.

I....

You....

Agh...!

I'LL FUCKING KILL YOU NEXT TIME, MARK!
