[Song: Nightcore - Our Love Is A Burning Garden]

Rantaro's POV

I was on my way to the next class and I saw people crowding around a certain area.

I decided to check it out since I was passing by it anyways. I pushed my way through the crowd so I could see asqnd saw him.

Kokichi was being held off by a taller guy. "Hey I know you! A little birdie told me that you're a little psycho!" Kokichi gave him a doll-like stare and tilted his head. "I don't understand what's so funny about hallucinations."

The guy just laughed in his face and pushed up against the lockers yet again. "What's so funny is that they still let sicko like you stay here!"

Kokichi looked pretty pissed and looked upset the guy and warned him. "I recommend you don't provoke me."

The guy decided to be an idiot and provoke him, even after a warning. "Or what? You gonna go all psycho on me?"

Kokichi smiled creepily at him. "Isn't that so funny? You must be thinking something like, 'This little brat is so weak! He can't do anything to me!'" Kokichi laughed and the guy looked pretty surprised.

His face went expressionless yet again. "Well think again, just imagine your worst nightmare times 100." The guy took a step back in surprise and. I could hear people's whispers. Saying thing like they knew he was crazy or that he's been different since the crash.

He started to walk towards the taller guy, making him back away. "Aw~ What's wrong? Did this little psycho scare you?" He teasingly asked. The guy stayed silent.

Kokichi smiled seemingly innocently and waved goodbye. "I guess so~ Good bye then." He walked off and turned away. The guy looked stunned but then looked extremely irritated. He ran at Kokichi. "YOU BRATTY PSYCHO!"

But before he could reach Kokichi, I punched him. I held the guy off and pushed him away from Kokichi. I glared. "Don't you dare touch him."

I turned away and picked my bag to head off to class. People pointed and whispered but I ignored them. I just continued walking to class like normal.

After that, lunch. I wanted to make sure Kokichi was doing fine so I went to his classroom, not there. I checked the restroom, empty. I asked if anyone had seen him.... Nothing..

I was looking for Kokichi to ask him if he was okay, just to stumble upon an upsetting scene. Kokichi was holding onto Shuichi's collar and pressed up against his chest.

The worst part was that Kokichi had pulled him in, and they were now kissing. Kokichi made eye contact with me the moment I arrived and pulled Shuichi in.

I stared wide-eyed in horror. The person I loved was kissing the guy that I trusted, introduced me to everyone, and helped me fit in from my first day.

I couldn't help but feel betrayed.....I felt upset... Sad..... Angry. I stepped away in shock and ran off. There was a horrible pain in my heart. What was this? These feelings.... Their too much. What are they?

I sat down against the wall. No idea what to do except just sit there and think. 'Why?'  I sat there a while just to see Kokichi turn the corner.

He crouched down to me. "What's wrong? Are you hurt?" He asked me like he was genuinely concerned. I looked up at him and stood up.

"Why?" He tilted his head cutely. "Hmm? Why what?" I clenched my fist tightly and I looked at him dead in the eyes. "I... thought..... I thought you loved me..." He began to laugh and hold his sides. Like it was some sort of hilarious joke.

"YOU REALLY THOUGHT I LOVED YOU?! HA! That's hilarious! You were nothing more than my little toy! And guess what happens when I get bored of my toy? I throw it away and get a new one of course!" Kokichi laughed in my face.

That pain in my heart grew.... So I guess this is heartbreak....except much harsher. He walked up to me and whispered in my ear after pulling down my tie.

"You were a fool and vulnerable. A perfect target. You got played, deal with it." He said coldly into my ear and walked away. I fell to my knees and bit my lip.........

???

"Looks like he knows the game well. Smart move Kokichi.... But will you be able to sacrifice more, even more than the love of your life? I await your decision, make this game fun for her and little me....you nearly perfect brat... "

A/N: You guys... I have really bad news.... I have.... Much less time for updates. School started. So I have normal class, then around September or October I have UIL so that's and extra hour then if I make the Volleyball team that's 10 hours of school total, so I have 6 hours for homework and free time. Sorry.... I guess I wasn't thinking much about how much time would be left.
