Author's POV

- Wait, she died? Really? Hilarious! Hahaha - Shadow chuckles

- I know, right? What a joke! - Arashi Joined

- Haruka Furuka? Is she your bully Arashi!??? - Aliaa said in surprised

- Well, yes. She has been bullying me for two years now, not like a cared about her. But recently, I don't see her around. She doesn't bother me for three weeks, so I thought she was bored of me.

- No one will get bored that easy, you crazy. My bullies still bothered me for four years, even tho I moved away! - Shadow said happily ( I need to take this guy to therapy. '-' Anyone wanna join? )

- Oh~ How bad luck - Arashi tease

- wait, The teacher doubts that you're the killer? But do they have any more proof? Just a sentence can't prove anything. That can be fake too - Aliaa asks

- That is what I asked our teacher. She said they required her close friend to explain, and those girls said I've bullied her for four months.

- Pft- HAHAHA! CAN THIS GET ANY FUNNIER? - Shadow laughs like crazy.

- Shadow please calm down. - Aliaa helplessly told Shadow to calm down. She had indeed said before that she was happy to have met them two. But they are a bit crazy. Maybe she should save the money to send them to therapy.

- So, what did you do when they suggest that you're guilty? - She asks Arashi

- I told them " nicely " that I'm not guilty and I can prove it. Then I left.

- Did you be savage with the teacher Arashi?

- Noooooo - Arashi smiled, looking away to avoid Aliaa's madness.

- So you did, huh?

- Yeah

- What a troublemaker.- Aliaa sighed

- Sorry, not sorry~- Arashi chuckle

- I'm pretty sure the girls that say you've bullied Haruka are spreading the rumors around. - Shadow said

- Wow, you have said something clever - Arashi pretend to be surprised to tease him

- Arashi, I might be the weakest, but I have enough strength to push you off - Shadow said with anger

- Relax Shadow, If you do, make sure to let me join - Aliaa smiles happily

- Guys, No.

- Anyways, I don't think we could do anything if they spread rumors.

- We already got bullied and separated from everyone here. I don't think It could get any worst - Shadow is sarcastic

- I hope so ^^ - Aliaa smile

Time went by, and the bell rang again, signaling to them that lunchtime is about to end.

- Guess it's time to go. Get your stuff, we going to have some more knowledge - Aliaa says as she drags the other two to class.

Arashi POV

While we walking in the hallway to class, everyone starts staring at us. Eyes of stigma, fear. It's very uncomfortable. The rumors spread more quickly than I thought.

"It's gonna be a ruff day" - I sigh, walking into class.

After Opening the door, I don't even dare to enter. I froze. Being looked at by everyone scared me so much that I couldn't move. Why did the rumor spread so quickly? All eyes are on me. I'm about to freak out. Usually, I'm very faint in this class, guess I'm not anymore

- Chill, don't care about them, get in - Shadow said calmly and push me in class.

- They won't do anything that hurts you. The rumor said you're the killer, am I right? No one is going to mess with a killer. Besides, Haruka is a popular bully. Some of them might be glad that she is dead - He put on a smile. But look kind of like he's about to kill someone.

- Shadow, get rid of that freaky face and go to your seat - Aliaa sighs

- ok I got it ^^ Good luck my friend.

He waves at me and then goes back to his seat with Aliaa. Honestly, I'm feeling kind of alone now. Shadow sits next to Aliaa, so he always has her to talk with, and I have no one. Especially when Everyone thinks I'm the murderer.

I walked to my desk, ignoring the stare from 27 other students in the class. Just right when I sat down, I saw a letter on my desk. "What the fuck is this?" I'm so confused. Seriously, I have a bad feeling about it, so I don't even touch it, don't dare to open and read it. I take my ruler and push it into my backpack.

But just some moment later, I can't handle my curiosity to read it. Take it out of my backpack. I slowly open the letter.

*The content:

" Hello, Hoteru Arashi

I guess you are pretty satisfied right now, aren't you? The fact that Haruka Furawa is now dead. I give you a present with it, but it seems like you don't like what I give you. Do you like it? Wouldn't it feel great to kill your bully?

I killed her and blamed it on you. I tried my best to make you despair, but it turns out to make you annoyed. That wasn't what I want to see.

How can I make you sad? If I hurt your dear friends, would you be mad? If I hurt your mother, will you cry for her? If I kill all of them, would you come crying and begging me? At that time, will you feel as broken as I am right now?

I hope you would. Stay alert, Arashi, Because I will not let you live in peace while I am suffering.

See you later. Remember, your loved ones are in danger. "

After finishing reading it, I gripped the paper tightly in my hand making it crumpled.

"Present"? Is this some kind of game!? What is this person thinking? Are they insane or what? They did this for fun, aren't they?

I believed this person knows me, but I can't seem to remember who they are. "Broken"? What have I done to break anyone's heart?

Neither less, I won't let anyone hurt my friends or my family.

" Why do you care about them? You have me, don't you?"

"Ugh, go away! Can you leave me alone!? I need they more then I've ever needed you. "

Right at the moment, the teacher comes in. I stood up to greet the teacher. Try to shake off questions about the letter, focusing on my study.

Shadow POV

Finally, the class ended. I and Arashi; are now on the way home. The three of us separated at the school cage. Aliaa's apartment is the reverse way, so we can't go home with each other.

Beside me right now is a boy who looks pissed off. I don't know what is happening, but Arashi didn't say anything for 30 minutes. From when the class finishes till now. And that is unusual. To be honest, I never see him like this. Is he ok? I'm kind of worried about him.

-H-hey, Arashi. Are you okay? - I ask him. He looks worried.

- Y-yeah, Of course, I am - he forced a smile

- Are you sure? From then on, your face was fixed in thought. You know you can tell me anything, right?

- No, it's nothing. I just had something in mind. It's not very important, no worries.

- Then what is it?

-... You don't have to know, Shadow. I'll tell you when I think is necessary 

- Kay. If you say so - I look away.

"He's lying again. Am I unreliable? "-  I think to myself. Never mind, he's not the only one lying. Who doesn't have a secret? I have no exceptions either. In this friendship, I'm the liar.

Soon, we were back home. We couldn't talk about anything the whole way home. I didn't want to start a conversation.

-S-see you tonight by the river - Arashi said

- No, not today - I answer him.

- W-what? - He acted surprised

- I can't sneak out today, Uncle is home. Can we call on the phone? We can still talk that way. 

- Sure, If you want. Then I'll phone you when I can. Remember to answer my calls - He waves at me and walks home.

- Yeah, I'll remember. Bye - I "smile" and then walk into the house.

_______________ ____________

I opened the door and walk in slowly, try not to make any sound.

As I'm walking upstairs, I can hear my aunt and uncle arguing. It repeats every day; It's normal in this house. Usually, I don't mind about it. But today, I was expecting them to stop. Today is my sister's anniversary. I don't want them to fight, don't want to see her cry today.

I went to my room and locked the door. I put away my backpack and then crouched in the corner of the room. Put on headphones to block out any other sounds. Close my eyes and enjoy the music.

-"Hello Shadow"

Suddenly, I heard someone talking to me. I open my eyes and look around.

-oh, you're here. Hi sis. - I slightly smile. 

In front of me right now is my sister - Takaoka Aiko. The sister that left me five years ago. Who am I kidding? She is dead and will never come back. Right now, I can only see her as a ghost. 

-What's up? Do you have anything to give me? You have been gone for a year since the last time we met. Shouldn't I have a gift from you? 

-"Shadow, you didn't change at all. "

-Yeah, Do you want me to change?

-"No, I like you like this more, Lil bro " - Akio chortled

-haha, you do? I thought you were annoyed - I laugh

-"No way! You're cute like this, Shadow" - She patted my head. Although we both know, I can't feel anything. It's cold, her hand is cold. But, it's not like I feel warm in this place either. 

- Hey, sis. Are you sad over there? Do the people there act nicely to you?

- "No, I'm not sad anymore, Shadow. Their very nice to me "

- You don't have to hear your parents arguing any longer too. - I tease her

- " Yeah yeah. Nice joke, Shadow. "

- Hey...Can you stay here forever with me? - I ask her and shed a tear.

-" Shadow... You know I can't, right? Please don't cry" - Akio wipes away the tear that runs down my face. When she touches me it feels very cold, can't even feel the warmth of her hands anymore.

-"I'll meet you next year, okay? I have to go now. Goodbye, Lil bro" - as she said, she fainted away.

- next year, huh? - I sighed. 

- I don't think I can do this till next year, Akio. Not everything is easy to deal with. Sometimes, they're very hard to handle.... - I force a smile and then stand up. Walk to the drawer next to my bed. I took out a bottle of medicine that was just plain white. The bottle no one knows I have. 

- It's time for my medicine

END Chapter 6
