Chapter 32

Haruka's POV*

To be honest, I really wished that I didn't agree to come for this bonding, I really really regret it.

I stood there just watching my two female cousins buying bunch of clothes that unfortunately are nowadays trending a lot. I don't understand girls at all.

"Do you think this looks better on me, Iia-chan?" Kiya asks her older sister who was doing something in her phone. She had been fiddling like glue on her phone after they force me to go to the bar an hour ago.

Iia rolls her eyes at her sister and does lazy hand motions, "Whatever, just go buy whatever you want."

I shifted my head away and pouted without making the two see my expression. "She's only asking, Iia. What the duck."

After another hour of this nonsense, we finally got out from the clothing shop and thought about what to do next. The only thing I thought about was squid, my precious squid. I sigh.

"Hm.. wanna go to the bar again, guys?" Kiya questions me and Iia.

I shook off my head at her with a slight growl, "We already came there, besides you promised me that that we'll be the last time of me going into one." Do they really forget their promises easily?

Kiya sheepishly smiles and hugs my back, I flinched. "Oh, I'm so sorry Haru-kun!" she squeaks, I was displeased at the discomfort. They are so touchy.

Iia slaps Kiya's hand as she still fiddles with her phone. "Stop that slut- I mean Kiya! Stop doing that to him! His uncomfortable with it!" she commands with a grunt.

Then Kiya slowly took out her arms off me with a frown, an apologetic frown but somehow, I felt annoyed so I didn't say anything but just fix up an intimidated expression.

I tugged my hands driftly into my pants-pockets and blew out a whistle randomly. I really wanna go home right now and end this day.

"What are you doing Iia-chan?" I heard Kiya ask from behind.

I turned my head and watch them without getting caught at the same time, still whistling air. "Just editing something brat, shoo-shoo, mind your own business.." Iia mutters lowly but I heard it clearly.

"Editing? Seriously? What even for?"

I was already sick and tired of this day and I don't want to add more of it. I glanced at my watch and saw it was seven already at night, a tick on my head got me. "Shoot! I need to practice for swimming!"

I clicked my tongue in annoyance as I realize that I completely forgot about it and went on running away while saying; "I'm leaving."

They were saying that we are suppose to do something else more for today but I just simply ignored them and continued running. I can't miss practice, or else its like breaking a promise.

**

After quite awhile, my body ached from the temperature around me as I got off the bus and continue to run- or at least jog. My legs are killing me.

I was out of breath, energy, but I still continued without missing an effortless second.

I glanced at my watch again and realized that it took my fifteen minutes or so to get to Iwatobi, where I am right now. I have a feeling that today isn't gonna be my day. "..or even tomorrow."

As I walked through the empty, never-ending halls of Iwatobi, I finally reached my destined area; The Swimming Club's Area.

I pushed the doors while letting out an exhausted groan and entered myself in. "Sorry for the wait-"

My eyes widens more to its size and my jaw drops. I think I felt my heart drop too. "H-Haruka?!"

I saw (Y/n) and-

"F*ck! Rin?!" I bursted out in anger at the unpleasing sight, I'm pretty sure I am gaining sore eyes right now. I ran towards the two who's face are leaned like super close to each other and smacked Rin's face.

"Frick you! Bastard!" tears strolled down my cheeks as I roughly bleed the idiot's head without an inch of pity bare to stop me.

(Y/n) holds my arms that felt like it had its own world, I wanted to stop but somehow, I coudn't. "H-Haruka!! Would you freaking stop?!" (Y/n) yells at me that I feel like her saliva just splash on my face like a bowl of water.

I eventually stopped and snapped myself back to reality. Rin's nose and lips were covered, pretty much overflowing with blood. The sight sickens me.

I turned my head and looked at (Y/n).

Her face, I missed everything with it but this face of hers, the burning pride in her eyes with a few tears on the corners of it, her straight arched down eyebrows and expression filled with disappointment. I didn't miss this face.

"What's wrong with you?!" she snaps at me and pushes my chest, making me almost fall at my back. I was devastated in disbelief at her action.

I gritted my teeth. "What's wrong with me?! What's wrong with you, (Y/n)?! Being with this moron's presence at this time and perhaps flirting?!" I snapped back.

Her expression frightened me, it was like fire infront of me. "Excuse me?! While you go to a bar while drinking with your stupid ass cousins behind my back secretly! You son of a-"

"What are you even saying?! Yes, we did go to a bar but I assure you that I DIDN'T drink anything there! They forced me to go there!"

Now her face was unsatisfied with my response. "You think I'll believe you?.." she raised her arm with a nonchalant smile that I didn't seem to like. "WELL I DON'T, CHEATER!!!" then slapped her hand on my cheek making my head turn to the opposite direction.

I was in silence. What is she doing? How come she has the guts to do this to me? Wh- Why?! Just why?!?!

My hand slowly climbed up and I touched my own cheek where in (Y/n) painfully slapped me at. I slowly turned my head to look at her face and she still had the same expression, she didn't look like she regretted what she did at all. That hurted me more.

I bit my lower lip hard while at the same time my tears lingering down more on my dull face. We stared at each other's for a moment, like the world just paused.

But she just grabs Rin's hand and her stuff in one go, and walks away. Leaving me all messed up in one position. Her footsteps was like stomping on my face. My heart.

What did I do wrong? What is that freaking reason that made all this disastrous mess?! What the hell!

I bent down my knees as I cautiously fell myself down on the ground with my hand still on my aching cheek and tears still doing its thing from my eyes.

I saw my reflection on the water. I looked horribly in pain and a complete mess, my eyes looked so swollen from crying. My nose was as red as a reindeer, as if I had high fever, my lips were bleeding by itself from me biting it way too hard and my cheek paining so much.

I hate this. I hate everything now.

Just.. why?
