Ghost School

Life of Izumi: Cheating

After coming home from the Foren residence, I came to mind with grandfather's words.

"Mama did that maybe because mom likes papa, but papa doesn't like mama"

"Mama was wrong to do it without thinking. Papa was also wrong because even though he hates me and mama, but he also needs to take responsibility" I thought

The more I thought about it, it made me even more disgusted with the relationship between a man and a woman.

And as soon as I remembered Mawari's earlier statement, I felt disgusted rather than happy.

"I don't want to be in touch with anyone. I won't repeat my parents' mistakes"

"I don't want to be like an irresponsible father and just abandon his wife and child. I also don't want to be like a mama who does things without thinking long and forcing one-sided love"

"I don't want my son in the future to experience things like I did. So I can't be careless"

"The one who will be my wife must love me, and I love her too. There's no coercion between us."

That's the throat I cut. I can confidently say that I won't be dating until I'm 20.

The next day, I went to school as usual.

When I opened my locker, I saw a letter I had never put down before.

I picked it up and opened the letter.

...Izumi, please meet me...

...Behind the school building...

...When I get home from school....

...Somebody wants me...

...tell you....

...By Mawari....

That's the contents of the letter.

I already know what's going to happen next. He said he liked me yesterday, so something will happen in the back of the school building.

"He still doesn't understand it even though how many times I've said it" I thought

I squeezed the letter and threw it in the trash.

Since then, every hour of recess I just sat in class and didn't go out to avoid Mawari.

Although he did not meet, but every day letters from him never stop coming.

...Izumi, why don't you come...

...meet me? Come please....

*

...why didn't you come?...

...I keep waiting for you....

Letters from him with various words always come every day.

The longer it took, I became annoyed by it as if it continued to be terrorized.

A month after he first sent me a letter, I finally decided to meet him

"If I hadn't come to him, by the time I graduated school he wouldn't have stopped sending me letters. Better meet him and tell him to stop now" I thought

In the break hour, I walked in the corridor to deliver the task to the teacher room on the 1st floor.

As I was going up the stairs, I saw Mawari and his two friends talking.

My reflexes immediately hid from him and waited for him to leave.

While waiting for him to leave, I heard their conversation.

"He did not respond to my letter at all, but I kept sending him letters this month" Mawari said

"That means he doesn't like you. You have to try harder to make him like you" replied his friend

"When you know for yourself I've approached it since 8th grade, and we're 9th grade now"

"Stay~ You're less aggressive, Mawari~"

"Less aggressive how else? The other man immediately collapsed as soon as I did so, only he himself was like that. At first I felt that maybe he started liking me, but he suddenly turned away on the grounds that I did not want to be hostile. What the fuck?"

"yes too. She's a bully, right? It should have been easier to approach her because she knew people hated her, but she did not react to Mawari being so beautiful and kind to her"

"That's enough! I'm already tired. I don't want to be like this anymore" Shouted Mawari

"Can't~ You have to keep teasing her until she wants to date you"

"This is unfair! Why do I keep going?! That's enough, let me calm down!"

"That's because luck doesn't take your side. We've all agreed who loses the bet should tease Izumi from class 9-1, right?"

"I surrender! Replace the punishment with another"

"Can't~ You just have to convince her a little more, and she'll definitely accept you. After that you can immediately ask him to break up the next day"

"It won't be that easy. I've been struggling for a year but there's been no progress. He won't be easy to date. So just change the sentence"

"Eh, we're talking about this, Arato Izumi's going through all of a sudden?"

"will not. Ever since I sent her the letter, she's been in class to avoid me. Don't worry" replied Mawari

"By the way, isn't Arato Izumi quite handsome as well? Apart from her being a bully victim, she actually looks authoritative. Coupled with his genius" asked his friend

"No. Almost all over her body was scarred. You don't see it because you only see it from far away. But I who was close to him could clearly see the scars were everywhere"

"Jeez~ I've heard of men with wounds that dazzle~" said another friend with a laugh

"Then, you're the one trying to tease her!" Mawari

"don't want. Later my girlfriend angry~"

"Basic!"

"Come now we go to the cafeteria. The food will be gone"

They went downstairs laughing.

"...."

I was still standing next to the stairs.

Although I heard something painful, but I felt nothing.

I was not sad, angry, upset, or anything like just hearing the wind pass by.

"It turns out so. From the beginning I did not like Mawari as the opposite sex, but liked him as a form of gratitude because he wanted to talk to me" I thought

"Although he did it as punishment from his friend, it was still thanks to him that I had not been lonely for a while" I thought

I walked back to my original goal of going to the teacher's room to hand over the assignment.

Teng... Teng... Teng...

The clock goes home too.

I walked into the back building of the general class to meet Mawari.

When I came there, I saw Mawari waiting with a face as if I thought I would not come. But as soon as he saw me, his face was immediately cheerful.

"Why have you been avoiding me lately? Why don't you respond to my letters?" Ask

I pushed him away and kept my distance.

"Just get to the point. I came to tell you not to approach me again in any form. We better not know each other like before"

"A... What do you mean, Izumi?" Mawari asked in shock

"Izumi! L like you. Come date me!" Yells

"Is your friend nearby?" Much

"What?!" Ask in surprise

"I know you're doing this because of the penalty of losing a bet with your friend. So I asked you, is your friend around here watching us?" Much

"A... Whatchu mean? I don't understand" Mawari said in a panic

"If they're not around, just say we're dating. That way the problem's solved, right?" Much

"As evidence, I don't care if I have to take a picture with you"

"But I'll never answer 'Yes' to your statement just now"

"I... Izumi's... A... I wasn't..." He panicked

"I never blame you. But after this, let's act like we don't know each other"

"Ma... I-i'm sorry! I did approach you for losing a bet with my friend. Sorry for lying to you" Shouted Mawari

"I don't need your apology. So, is your friend here?" Much

"none. They don't think you're coming, so they go home first"

"Good, so this could be finished easier"

"Ka... Then, like you said before..." Mawari

"No problem" I said

Mawari immediately searched his HP in the bag.

"Then, let's take a picture once to convince my friends"

Mawari immediately approached and stood in front of me.

"Your hand put it on my shoulder. If you're flat like that they won't believe it" Mawari said

"But that..."

"It's only a few seconds, no problem"

For the sake of not talking to him again in the future, I followed his instructions.

Checkered

"Done" said Mawari cheerfully

"What are you guys doing?"

"This voice..." I was surprised

Me and Mawari turned to the source of the voice. And sure enough, that person was Maeru who was with Kirian, Rio, and Rusen.

"Mawari, explain to me what this means" Maeru said

Mawari immediately flinched.

"Eru, I didn't do anything! Your cousin's sister who suddenly brought me here and asked me out! I told you I didn't want to, but he kept pushing!" Shouted Mawari

Rio and Kirian quickly punched me, and Rusen blocked Mawari's sight from seeing me.

"Basic is shameless! It could be trying to snatch Eru's girlfriend!" Shouted Kirian

"It's not enough to do anything at home, now you're looking for something at school!" Shouts Rio

They both kept beating me until I got a nosebleed.

"Enough!" Shouted Maeru

Kirian and Rio instantly stopped hitting me then Maeru walked over.

Maeru immediately pulled my collar and brought her face closer to mine.

"Basar cheap man!! Maybe you're trying to get my girlfriend from me!" Shouted Maeru then punched me

"worthless pebbles like you could be dating a precious diamond. Don't dream!!"

I was very upset at that time, either to Mawari or to the Young Masters of Hazuki.

I immediately took my bag and took out all the letters from Mawari and threw them right in Maeru's face.

"What do you do, huh?!" Shouted Maeru

I wiped the blood running down my nose and looked at Maeru's sinister face.

"I'm sure you can read. Read all the letters from your precious girlfriend he sent me!" My words are firm

Doubtfully Maeru opened one of the letters and read it.

At first Maeru still did not believe what he read, so he looked at the other letter and the contents were similar to the previous one.

Maeru opened all the letters and directly squeezed them while staring cynically at Mawari.

"You lied to me?" Ask Maeru

"Eru... L'm... It's not what you see..." Mumbled

Plaque!

Maeru directly slapped Mawari.

"Little girl! Not anyone else, but my cousin's own sister you're a tease! How many of your mistresses are there in the general class actually?" Shouted Maeru

"Eru, it's not like that! I was forced to do so because I lost a bet with my friend. All I like is you"

"Liar!" Shouted Maeru

"After lying to me, do you think I'll just believe what you say?" Ask Maeru

"Go from before me! I don't want to see your face again!!" Shouted Maeru

Mawari immediately cried and ran away.

Maeru immediately glanced at me.

"You! Don't think this matter is done!" Maeru said cynically

Buk up!

"What are you doing until Mawari gets interested in you, huh?" Shouted Maeru

"Basic disgusting! Cheapy!! Br*chl!! Not shameless!! you really piss me off!!"

"You're a kara, but why go into people's families and just interrupt?! You should have just died there!!"

I regret what I did.

It should have been since the beginning of 8th grade that I couldn't get close to anyone.

Because of me, he was beaten and mutilated by Maeru. Whatever the reason, I shouldn't be close to anyone.

Because I am a disaster bearer.
