"[F/n]..? [F/n] , are you listening to me? Hey!"

The voice beyond the call mumbled incoherent curse words , beeping as the call ended urgently.

As much as you wanted to pick up the phone , you cannot.

The girls standing before you clearly doesn't allow that.

"You bitch,"

She growled.

"Look at me."

You knew something was wrong when you heard multiple notifications from your phone in early morning.

Not that your life is a mistake from the start.

So when you kicked away your blanket , regain your conciousness and open the curtain to see your screen phone in dark room , you can only sigh at the twitter notifications.

You have predicted this.

A groan left your lips as you threw the phone to the bed , hands gripping on your hair.

So much for wanting to be a figure character.

It's 2 hours earlier than how you and Koushi usually went to school.But truth to be told , at this current chaos , you , nor Koushi don't really want to go to school.

But Kurokasu Akino is there.Like a wild animal without a leash , calmly waiting as the wildfire spreads and the preys ran to her arms.

And of course , you don't want to imagine coming to the highchool reunion with the rumours still basking in their minds , glaring at you like a slut.

But i wonder why she did this...?

You sighed, before slapping your cheeks , slapping your sleepiness away before slumping down on your working chair.Wihout any hesitation , you ignored the hate comments and notifications by the low corner of your laptop screen , typing an account name you remembered.

"Arisuna_MairiXoXo"

I'm surprised i still remember , she announced it for the class to follow her back in elementary school.

Click.

The page was suddenly bombarded with ton of photos , given that the date was all past before the decade.
All range from 10 to a few years ago.The first oldest photo was her an her family's photo.

Suprising , isnt it? The girl they thought were sweet and family loving actually bullied someone in such early age.

Talk about two face.

As you scoffed , you scrolled up one by one , scanning the photos with halflidded eyes and grimace.Until you found a blurry picture of her and her friends.

I remember them.They're her gang in elementary.

Shika , Maho , Yuu , and...

Your eyes dilated when you spot a blurry figure of a girl far beyond the gang , peeking by the corner of the hallway.

The photo seems to be taken in the elementary corridor , as you recalled.Those days were disaster.As much as you didn't wanna remember it , you have to.

Must be another student then.

"Dark purple braided hair , and by the black blur around her closed eyes , seems like she wore a big frame of glasses," you muttered under your breath , unable to hear the creaking sound of the wooden floor from the corridor.

You screenshot the picture , saving it in a folder named "step-on-my-corpse-first" folder which you used to save yaoi beforehand , and scrolled up again.

Photos of hang outs , graduation , family gatherings , playgrou--

You ceased your internal mumblings , eyes widen when you spot a familiar figure crammed between divers of good looking adults , in what you could conclude , a big family gathering.

The dresscode for the family gathering themself seemed classy, unsuprising to the fact how Mairi used to boast about her rich family and stuffs.

That power and money suprisingly could easily turn a 6 year old to a little shit.

You bit your lip.

Why do i sound so harsh in early morning?

I can't let my poor brain contain these cuss words any longer.

So you focused back on the familiar figure.The same dark purple braided hair girl , with a clearer big frame of square glasses , black numb orbs , and striking red dress.The black mismatching flat shoes are a bit unsuitable, for an elementary girl.

The girl herself seemed to be older than the last photo , by the fact that the photo was posted 2 years since the corridor one.

Is she Mairi's sister? But they don't really look alike..

Mairi , the one with glazing dark blue hair and lilac dress posed genuinely at the centre , surrounded by two adults which you concluded her parents , and a little boy , with also dark blue hair and..

You blinked your dry eyes several times in unbelief.

..light purple eyes.

"Is that..Yokuro--"

"[F/n]?"

Feeling your entire body become cold and spiky , you quickly put your strong grip on the laptop monitor and slammed it shut.You turned around with sweats rolling down your face , a forced smile displayed to your ✨amazing✨ twin who's currently standing by the door munching on the chuupets which you remembered saving for yourself.

Wai--that's mine!

"What were you doing?" Koushi absentmindedly sucked on the chuupets , sleepiness still taking over his slumped body posture.

The edge of your lips twitched.

"I was uh , buying drugs,"

Koushi sucked the remaining of the chuupets, throwing it to your trashcan before yawning as he took his leave.

"Ok sure,"

You're relieved and worried now.

Is he okay...?

You glanced at the clock , too much time before school.Today school will surely start to look like battlefield.Mental battlefield.

So your anxious ass decided to prepare some things for defense.You pretty sure remembered having pepper spray or some sort...

"Hm? What's this?" You raised an eyebrow when you spot a small remote looking thing in far back of the drawers.

Small recorder.

I don't remember having this but uh , it's cool.Gonna take it with me.

You grabbed the pepperspray and recorder , basically throwing them into your schoolbag by the top of the nightstand.After preparing the school books and stuff , you sat yourself at your working seat.

Until you remembered.

I haven't watched any animes lately...

What was the last one i watched? Jujutsu Kaisen?

A month ago.

You drop your head back on the soft chair lean , eyes boring to your plain ceiling.The sunlight seeped in and drew themself like a work of nature art , creating warm feelings or whatsoever deep down in your chest.

The outside world really is scary.It's full of crazy people , crime , lies , and painful truth.There are responsibility , challenges , misunderstanding , and fights.

But there's also friends , supports , fun , trust , happiness , beauty , experience, and new things in life .

It is true that i have to face the outside world for the future.But i was not ready.I was too hopeful and selfish , thinking that everything will be okay as long as Koushi's with me.

Then i tried to do everything myself , thinking that i am able to defense myself when i actually don't.

And now this happens.

You straightened back up , turning your laptop back on.

Who cares if i look like shit? Everyone.
Who cares if i have weird colored eyes? Everyone.
Who cares if i look creepy? Everyone. Who cares if am close with Koushi? Everyone.
Who cares if i am close with the volleyball team? Everyone.
Who cares if i knew Oikawa Tooru? Everyone.

Who cares if i actually have an anxiety? Only some people.
Who cares if i am trying to get over it? Only some people.
Who cares if Oikawa's actually the one to blame in this?
Only some people.
Who cares if my feelings were hurt? Only some people.

Who cares if i actually manage to tell the truth to everyone...?

You scrolled back to the account page , screenshoting the photos and saved it to the folder with a determined-- no.

Indignant glare.

Let's see about that , shall we..?

▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎

The glass he held dropped to floor , scattering to piercing pieces , just like his heart.

It sunk deep like a Kraken pulling him to the deep ocean , leaving him breathless by the end of the cold sea.

His fingers trembled as he zoomed in , to the old picture right to the face of the little girl crammed between him and Iwaizumi.

As his mother slammed his door open yelling with tone laced in worry , Oikawa slammed his laptop shut , for the first time after digging in the memory folders for three days straight.

Oikawa never predicted that his first meeting back with his [N/n]-chan will be like this.

If only he knew ,

If only he knew earlier about this,

He wouldn't try to forget the past and leave fresh print of another trauma in her life.

What have i done...?

His gaze casted down on the scattered broken glass , his mother sighed as she took a trashcan and suited herself to clean the mess.

"It's broken to pieces.You can't fix that , so stop staring at it like that , it won't rebuild itself," she scolded , the words landed on open ears themself until she continued.

"Don't just sit there.Do something to clean the mess up!"

Don't just sit here.Do something to finish all this misunderstanding you've caused , Tooru.

But how...?

Oikawa's fingers twitched , gaze franticly looking for his phone.And when his eyes casted on it , he quickly dialed a number , biting his lip.

All of those weird feelings everytime he met her , all of those familiar feelings when he looked at her and the sickening guilty feeling when he saw her.

Was because she is indeed NOT A STRANGER.

"Oi , Shittykawa? What's wro---"
"Iwa-chan."

Oikawa breathed out.

"Karasuno's manager was [N/n] all along."

▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎

"Fufu,"

Kurokasu seated on the couch reluctantly, gently rubbing her polished nails as she admired the new color she painted on her delicate fingers.

The delicate fingers which proved how she actually didn't do the manager tasks all this time, only dumping those tasks to Kiyoko or you.

"Lady Akino," a butler silently opened the huge door , stepping in the room when he granted the permission to , by a nod of her head."Meihara family invited Lady Akino and Ms.Mr.Kurokasu to the lunch today.The school schedule can be arranged now--"

"No," Akino smiled at her butler , pushing the wax sealed letter away from her reach gently as her gaze pondered to the window , where the sunlight seeped in."I have a very important thing to do today at school,"

Her butler raised an eyebrow as Akino stood up and wore her dark blue blazer.Her numb black eyes twitched when she saw her old big framed glasses on a plate.

"Where's my contact lenses," her tone laced with annoyance , her irked clouded black orbs glanced to her butler who fixed the bridge of his glasses.

"You wear the contact lenses too much , Lady Akino.I think it'll be best if yo--"

Akino clicked her tongue , and threw the plate and the glasses away , breaking both of them to pieces , the sound echoes in the big personal living room.Her butler just stood there with pursed lips, mumbling a small agreement as he walked out to get her contactlenses.

Meanwhile , her anger fueled gaze soften at the sight of the big acrylic painting of her deceased cousin , covering the entire wall.Her clouded lovestruck gaze on the painting made the maids in the room shiver like usual , but Akino couldn't care less.

"Mairi Nee-sama," she giggled like a maniac , a bit disgusted at the sight of her own reflection at the nearest mirror before admiring the big painting again.

"I will be just like you back then..then you'll accept me , right? I shall walk next to you right?"

What she didn't realize , is the grey turning motion of the clouds and sky.

"Sugawaras! Come here for a sec!" You and Koushi turned to the source of reprimand, finding Coach Ukai calling them under the canopy of Sakanoshita store.

"Ukai-san , good morning," you and Koushi approached him , instantly getting shoved with an umbrella.He faintly smiled at your both confused face."The weather forecast predicted a heavy rain around this afternoon.Better get prepared , you can return that later, kay?"

You smiled and took Koushi with you with a soft pull."Thank you , Coach Ukai.See you at practice,"

Koushi bowed an abrupt thank you , striding out of the store with quick pace , questioning nothing as you pulled him with you.

"I don't want to get bombarded with people by the gate," you murmured , and that itself is enough to make Koushi understand.He put an assuring arm on your shoulder and ruffled your hair playfully.

"Oh what's this , someone's thinking far ahead..?" Koushi sheepishly grinned , gaze lazily meeting the street with a gradually forming frown.

"I can't blame you.I do too,"

Your breath hitched slightly , hands clenched in your pockets as Koushi patted your shoulder harshly.

"We need to confront Kurokasu,"

You glanced to meet his gaze , your other hand gripping on your liontine before tucking it in again.

" That shit is first in my list," you muttered , exhaling hot breath beneath the cold fog.Koushi calmly plowed your
face , nodding to your conveyance.

" I'm sorry for not knowing this earlier,"

The wind breeze decided to crash , blowing her hair to the side.But neither of them scrunched at the numb coldness.

" Hell yeah , you should be,"

Koushi flinched , and turned to you as you laughed.

" Don't ruin the moment!"

"Oh shut up! Don't say it like I'm gonna die!" You slapped his shoulder , as he faked an 'ow'.

"We will never know.." he pretended to mourn.

"Even if i die , i'll still haunt you."

You quickened your pace , and Koushi flinched.

"Cruel much? Why??"

"You owe me 20 yen last week," you posed with a lame thumbs up and a smug smirk.

"And you still owe me 2 days of hairwashing and 2 bowls of spicy tofu!!" He yelled back , and you rolled your eyes.

"You're basically an adult already , get a nice girlfriend to do that for you,"

"No , i am baby.Be nice to the baby
:( "

You facepalmed.

"I wonder , who brought up our 2 minute difference before i entered Karasuno again?"

Koushi laughed in defeat , stumbling to the side before patting your head.

"Sorry , sorry," he looked to the school gate getting closer in sight.

"I don't think i'll get myself a girlfriend,"

You blinked several times as you started entering the gate with him.

Several students , mostly the girls started sending angry glares through the air worse than yesterday , but your mind was too occupied.

"Hold on a sec," you kept walking beside him , but you put up a hand , gaining his attention."Are you indirectly telling me that you're gay--"

"WOW wow WOW , What a good day today is!!!" He suddenly screamed , literally slapping your mouth with harsh blush spread across his face and ears.Judging by his reaction, you knew you hit a jackpot.Your mouth lopsided to a smug grin behind his hand.

Koushi knew he'll never hear the end of this when he felt your grin.

You bashed his hand away , and reached to your locker, sending a smug grin.

Koushi really wanted the ground to open and swallow him whole.He thought he had hid it perfectly well.

"Sooo , is it Dai-

CLACK.

Your words got cut off when you open your shoe locker and got bombarded with dozens of plain letters , some of them are direct hateful insults written in red messy ink.

They all fell scattered all over the floor , piling your outdoor shoes.

Your feel your heart throb when you took a sight of your indoor shoes , filled with sharp pins and some metal pinboards.

What the..

And what makes it dawn on you , is the malicious big black writing all over the insides of your shoe locker and the splatter of red ink , similar to blood splatters.

' DIE , BLOODY HOE '

...ah.

You calmed yourself after the shock , rolling up your sleeves before taking the splattered pair of shoes with the sharp stuffs out.

You took a handful of letters , and shoved it to the nearest trashbin.Some students looked suprised to see what you took out from your lockers , and some other students just immediately understand , probably caught a word from the spreading rumour and just walked away.

Koushi stood there pale , unable to move.

He recovered to his senses when you pour the noisy clinking sharp things to the trashbin , making sure nothing remained in it before approaching Koushi.

"Do you happen to have any tissue wipe with you?" You tried to stay calm and gently asked , burying your internal panic.

Koushi rummaged through the books in his bag and pulled out a pack of wipes , and motioned to his locker.

"I'll be going to my locker now," he walked away with worry glinted in his hazel brown eyes , and he braced himself when he opened his...to find nothing weird except his pair of indoor shoes and some love letters.

His eyebrows knitted together , arms reaching to his shoes to put them on.The only one bullied here is you , and Koushi had to admit , he feels guilty over what happened.He hated that you have to go over all that alone , while he , your twin , had a good happy life with famgirls and all.

What kind of twin am i...?

He closed his locker and decided to come to yours , finding you cleaning the insides of your shoe locker with the wipes.As you threw away the dirty wipes to the trashcan under the glares of girls at the corridor , you spotted Koushi standing by the corridor.

"Shall we go now?" You decided to brush the urge to cry and pity yourself away , deciding that it's the best for now.

They want me to broke down crying like a little slut and admit all my mistakes , when there's none.I will show them that they'll need more than a miracle to make me cry this time.

God-- give me patience and power.

For real.

And as you pulled Koushi with you to your class , the whole corridor glared on you.

If glares are arrows , you'll be dead of thousand burned poisonous arrows by now.

"That's his fiancee..? After all that cheating , she's still brave enough to show up with public PDA with her fiancee..?"

"Unbelieveable.Poor Sugawara Koushi-senpai , look , he looked uncomfortable with her,"

Koushi and you mentally facepalmed.

That's because of you and your stupid whispering , dumbass.

"So she's seducing Oikawa from Seijoh too? Never thought she's such a slut,"

"Right? Slut."

" Oh look , i think she's wearing soft lenses.Someone said that she has always been a weirdo since a kid,"

" Weirdo ? You mean?"

Your breath hitched once more , but your legs kept on walking reluctantly to your respective class , your gaze stayed to the door at the end of the corridor like a badass.

But there's a small light of hope in you , hoping this will die down soon and the whole school will act like none of this ever happened.

" She has a creepy dark red eyes , which they say result from her parent's incest relationship.You know , recessive genes,"

What the actual fu--

"Ew , really??"

"Um...i thought they are twins...?"

Koushi seemed to catch that too--- because you both stopped on your tracks in a blink , head snapped harshly to the soft unnoticed opinion , said by someone in the crowd.

That unnoticed someone is a petite figure girl with short blond hair.

"What are you saying...?"

" Well...i thought they are twins...because they kind of look alike..And i don't think she has such bad intentions..."

The male shrugged.

"Nah , no way.Then why did she apply to Karasuno this late? I heard she was homeschooled before.There must be some weird shit happening to her." The other girl smirked maliciously , unnoticing Koushi's coming figure.

You , who just noticed that Koushi managed to slip away from your grasp , franticly trying to pull him back.

"I was actually thinking that she's adopted or some shit , and then she just fell in love with Koushi.Ungrateful bitch," she chuckled , fanning her face with a customized fan.

"Oh really?" Koushi raised an eyebrow behind her.

The guy and the petite girl who saw Koushi's dark smile stumbled backwards and beckoned to her to stop , but to no avail.

"Yeah! And then maybe , she seduced Koushi to be her fiance--!" She turned on her heels to face Koushi , jaws dropped and eyes widened in fear when she sees Koushi's dark smile turning to wrathful glare.

"Who gave you the permission to say my first name, hm?" His tone dropped a few octave , slurring venomous shivers to their spines.

You even felt that , when you're behind him.

Your hand's by the back of his blazer , you could have stopped him if you want.

But this feelings.

Feels weirdly satisfying , to confront people and proof them wrong , seeing the fear in their eyes and their begging to stop.

...what am i , an anime antagonist now..?

"I-I'm s-sorry...but..but...your fiance--

"Who's my fiance?" Koushi's tone boomed , gaining other students attention in corridor."Where? I don't have a fiance." that one last word were laced with such pressure , the atudents around them moved away in fear.

Never have they seen Sugawara Koushi , a nice mom figure students with good grades and good attitude let out such anger.

They glared at you.

..it's because of her isn't it? He started acting weird and evil since she came to this school.

She needs to perish.

You had enough , you vaguely can hear the voice of their minds , the voice of the killing silence developing around you.

So you pulled Koushi back by his blazer, the latter yelped before he could register what happened.

You then proceeded to pull him with you to the close classroom , before he could spat out more at the corridor.From your peripheral vision , you see the nerves wrecking girl sob like a crybaby , getting comforted by the students around her as teacher came and yelled at all students to go to their classes and not to gang on the corridor.

I'm glad we left earlier.

You glanced at Koushi who pouted , cussing himself inaudibly with knitted eyebrows and a growl.

But someone doesn't seem to.

" Why did you do that?! I can announce to the whole school that we are twins!" He growled and scoffed , snatching his arm away from your firm grip.

But your grip on him was quick to snatch his arm back, his pout faltered.

You looked straight to his eyes with a calm expression , the kind of calm you see before a storm.The calm before tsunami.

The calm before you snap.

Koushi's eyes were locked with yours , his hands twitched in your grip in fright.His gulp reminded you what to say.

"Koushi,"

He flinched.

"H-Hai."

"You may announce it to the whole school , but then what? You're gonna wait for your reputation to be trampled into pieces too?" The words slithered off your mouth a bit harsher than what you intended.

"Think , Koushi.See the girl back then? Her opinion were bashed away , as if it was never there before.If you want to announce it to this goddamn mentally broken school , how about we gain evidences first , hm? Instead of throwing your dignity away and act recklessly like that , wasn't that better , Koushi?" You pampered , one invincible stab to his guts for every words you said.

You both finally reached your class.You hand reached for the door handle , and shifted it open.

Just like you predicted , the students in your class stopped their laugh and chatting , eyes piercing to your soul like a predator to a prey.

You turned to Koushi.

"We're here right now to fix my reputation, not to destroy your reputation too.Please..don't," you mumbled only enough for Koushi to hear , the cracked end of your statement make him clench and grit his teeth.

"Okay,"

And when you reached to your desk , big splatters of red paint and insults written in kanji awaits.

It's like fighting against the whole world.
