Chapter Three: Worried, Koumei?

Koumei's POV

I sigh, bored. I laid on my bed on my stomach, playing on my phone.

MESSENGER
(Name): Just finished moving all my stuff in.

I smile, tapping on the notification to open our chat.

(Name): My back hurts now😩

(Name): come join me in my suffering

Koumei: lmao alright, be there in 15min

Then, Koumei turned off his phone and got ready for the trip. Little did he know, you had fallen asleep.

•••

BEEP, BEEP, BEEP. No answer. Call again?

Koumei frowned. He had just gotten off the train and you already forgot about him. Sighing, he made his way to your apartment and knocked. "(Name)?" He held the bag with the milk pudding tightly. After a few more tries and no answer, Koumei put the bag on one of the hinges and left.

Kouha's POV

"Hey Koue- I'll come back later," Kouha shut the door as fast as he could. Kouen and a person he couldn't see had been making out until he barged in. Kouha shook his head and made his way towards Kougyoku's room and creeped it open. "Kougyokuuuu, do you know where Koumei is?"

Kougyoku, unlike Kouen, kneeled comfortably at the small low table with Koubun, studying and drinking tea peacefully. She looked up and shook her head. "I heard him say that he was gonna head out to (Name)'s place to give her a housewarming gift. Why?"

"Arrrghh!!" Kouha groaned dramatically, entering the room fully and kneeling at the table as well. He made sure to close the door behind him. "I was gonna ask him to help me decide on what to make for dinner since Kouen is so busy with his girlfriend or boyfriend or whatever that person isssss.."

"You should make kare raisu leftovers tonight." Kougyoku sipped her tea. "We heard someone moaning from Kouen's room earlier. Right, Koubun?"

Koubun nodded. "Certainly. Very lewd. I disapprove."

"Of course you would," Kouha muttered before getting up and leaving the room. "Nice talk."

Ja'far's alarm clock blared (unbelievably) loudly. You cover your head with your pillow and groan. "Ja'far, turn off your alarm clock!!" You call out, groaning again. After no answer, you get up and get ready for school before heading out into the living room. "Ja'far, turn off your alarm clock."

Ja'far looks up from finishing breakfast. "Sorry, I forgot." He gets up, puts his dishes away, turns off his alarm clock, and ignores you as he goes out the door.

You quickly follow him. "Not nice, jerk. Wait, do we go to the same school?!"

"Stay away from me in public," is all Ja'far responded with before walking ahead. Angry, you walk ahead of him. This continues until you realize you don't know the way to school and turn around to see Ja'far gone.

"Well shit."

•••

Ja'far smirked as he goes through the school doors. Idiot.

"I wonder where (Name) is. It's not like her to be late," Morgiana wonders, glancing out the window next to her seat. Alibaba, who sat to the right of her at a different desk, hummed thoughtfully.

"Maybe she got lost?"

Morgiana frowns, shaking her head. Probably not. Her phone rang a second later. Taking it out of her bag and recognizing the ringtone she had set for whenever you called, Morgiana answered, "(Name), where are you? Class is about to begin!"

"Morgiana, you gotta help me!"

"With what?" Morgiana made worried eye contact with Alibaba.

"I'm lost!"

•••

You arrived a couple hours before lunch. Panting, you met up with your friends, Morgiana and Alibaba. (Unfortunately, Aladdin got into a different class. He shared it with Sphintus and Titus.) "Hey!" You sat down at your desk in front of Morgiana's, exhausted. "I'm so late.."

"How did you get lost?" Alibaba questioned curiously. Morgiana squinted at you.

"I didn't know the path to school from my new apartment." That dumb Ja'far didn't help, either. "That damn jerk," you add under your breath with a burning passion.

Morgiana tilted her head slightly. "What was that, (Name)?"

"Nothing you need to worry about."

"Who you calling a jerk?" Alibaba frowned. "Us?"

"No, I meant that idiot- Ugh!" You groan, taking out your study books. "I gotta study."

"Tell us!!"

"No!"

•••

Suddenly, Ja'far sneezed. "Here's a tissue," one of the popular girls, who is smitten with him, gave him a tissue. Ja'far nodded in thanks before taking it. The other girls glared, burning with jealousy that they weren't the one interacting with Ja'far.
