"I Let You Down Again"

After eating breakfast, me and Tochaki-son left for school, but this time we were able to ride the car to school. The car ride was very enjoyable. Me and Tochaki-san reviewed the homework from yesterday. It seems time flies when you're having fun. We are already at school. Tochaki-san got out of the car and went to school first. I waited in the car for a few more minutes before also getting off. We wanted to avoid being next to each other as much as possible so this was our plan to avoid trouble. Tochaki-san's act yesterday would raise suspicions about me and her relationship, so it's best to avoid being seen with each other as much as possible. I started getting nervous. What should I do? How do I explain to everyone what happened yesterday? I was panicking and it seemed like Tochaki-san picked up on that as she held my hand all of a sudden.

"Its fine. If Tachi comes after you again just let me know!"

I didn't know if that's something I needed to hear. All I could do was give her a smile and we got off the car and went to school.

As expected. Almost every pair of eyes are staring right at me mostly due to what happened the other day. I didn't know what to do other than just keep walking to my classroom.

"Juni! How are you!"

Its Kanjiro. The only person who looked at me without a sign of hate. If anything, it seems like he is more happy than ever. I wonder what happened. Oh right, I gotta thank him for yesterday.

"Good morning Kanjiro, thank you for yesterday. I was able to make it up to Tochaki-san."

"That's nice. I can't believe a promise you made and forgot about it. You are very welcome. I was able to save your butt!"

The cheerful and funny Kanjiro laughed as I sat in my seat smiling at him.

"Meet me on the rooftop after school. We have something important to discuss."

Tachi walked by my desk and whispered these words. The smile on my face faded instantly. The nervousness I felt in the nervousness came back to me ten times worse. Oh no. What do I do. "It's fine. If Tachi comes after you again just let me know!" These words from Tochaki-san came back to me. But did I really want Tochaki-san to deal with my problem? Should I trust her? But I don't want to take up her time…

The rest of school was spent on me contemplating whether I should tell Tochaki-san about this matter. The last bell of school rang and I had no choice. I left the rooftop and opened the door.

"So you came. I almost thought you didn't have the guts to come and meet me. It seems maybe Tochaki-chan wasn't too wrong about liking someone like you."

The words that came out of Tachi's mouth hurt more than anything. I was doing my best I could from now on to not disappoint her. But to everyone else, I guess I was still a loser with only one friend. And what did he mean by liking someone like me? Our relationship is nothing more than a student-teacher relationship that happens to live in the same house.

"Why did you call me up today?"

The question was still not answered. There has to be a reason for him to call me up today alone right?

"Oh… Just to relieve some stress."

Relieve some stress? What the hell does that mean? Tachi then walked towards me, grabbed me by my shirt collar and pushed me to the wall.

"WHY DID IT HAVE TO BE YOU? WHY DOES SHE LIKE YOU? I'VE BEEN PERFECT FOR HER! YET SHE CHOSE YOU! WHY. THIS DOESN"T FUCKING MAKE SENSE!"

Tachi's powerful strength slowly lifted me up and I couldn't feel the floor anymore. My breathing started to become difficult. But I had to make it clear to him.

"It… Was… a… Missunderstandi—"

"SHUT THE HELL UP! MAYBE I SHOULD END YOU NOW! You know what. This is fine. If you disappear now, she will belong to me. She will have no choice but to be with me!"

Maybe he was right. Maybe I wasn't fit to be around a beautiful girl such as Tochaki-san herself. Maybe my life wasn't worth anything after all. As my vision became faint, I heard a loud noise. Someone has punched Tachi in the face. He let go of my collar and I fell to the ground. I saw a girl calling my name. Was it Tochaki-san? Was she worried that I didn't meet her after school today? I'm sorry Tochaki-san, I let you down again…
