Chapter 52

"Hold on a second, let me get this straight!- The Samezuka Academy wanted you to join their Swimming Club?!" Gou concluded your words as she had this star impact shimmering brightly in her orbs.

She adds, "So that's why you weren't around yesterday!"

You grinned at her while patting her head. "Yes, and the thing is- I didn't agreed, of course."

Her eyes shined even brighter while staring at you. "Thats my gal'!" she squeaks while gently slapping your shoulder. "But if I were in your shoes, I would join them since my onii-chan is there!"

Completely laughing at her point of view, you looked at your watch on your wrist and saw that it only about four minutes ti'll homeroom starts.

Gou also notices and quickly hugged you before going back to her classroom. "See you later in lunch, squid! Oh and tell me any updates about the Samezuka Academy- if you have!"

You smiled at her and shortly waved your hand to her before sitting yourself down on your chair before homeroom was about to start.

Before it even started, you saw half of the classroom staring their eyes at you with a disgusted expression causing you to be confuse at the sudden looks they are giving you so early in the morning.

They all looked like they were gossiping and whispering stuff in each other's ear with their phones out on their hands. You tilted your head on the left with more confusion hovering you down.

You were about to grab your phone to check any updates or new rumors but, it was only a few more seconds before the bell finally rings.

"I can't believe (Y/n)-chan is cheating at her boyfriend!"

"I know right?! Every girl here in our school would die to have someone like Haruka-senpai! What is she thinking?!"

"What a whore. She's not thinking straight at all."

"She's such a two timer. I hope Haruka-senpai breaks up with her."

Your eyes englared at the phrases you're getting. "Cheating?! Whore?! Two-timer?! What the frick!--"

The door of the classroom opens and showed the appearance of a walking Runa, your homeroom teacher and mathematics teacher leading his way to his table at the middle.

As he drops his stuff down, without even glancing yet at the whole class- he says, "Stop posting rumors that aren't even confirmed. Its called cyber-bullying and name-calling."

He finally looks at the class with a very disappointed look. "If I see someone doing this again, I'll snatch their phones away and never give it back with a trip to the Principal's Office. Got it?" he angrily tells the class.

"Yes." Most of the class replies except you. You were busy feeling all different kinds of emotions inside you, irritated since your innocent and you did not cheated on Haruka.

And you felt your heart fluttered at the way Runa defensed you- well, at least that's what you think.

Runa glances once more at the class and stares at you, you caught his concerned expression.

"Alright, open up your math textbooks to pages fourty-four to fourty six and start reading the lesson." he says loudly while walking towards your area, and the class follows his instructions.

As you got your book, he was an inch closer to you. His warming, lavender fragrance sending you shivers down your spine along with his well-polished and cleaned uniform. You are currently panicking.

He bends his knees down to look at you more clearly and asks something as silent as he could for only you could hear, "Are you feeling down right now? Want to settle things up? I saw the spreading rumors about you cheating on my brother."

You bit your lips and your eyes got teary already. "No, don't do that.." he takes out a nicely folded handkerchief from his pockets on his pants and lends it to you. "Here, take it."

Shaking off your head at his kind offer, you wiped your eyes with your fingers only. "N-No thank you, Runa-san. Its fine-"

Runa didn't waste any of your stubborness on time and started gently wiping your droplets of tears off. His action made you more teary, what a soft heart.

You sniffed between your sentence. "T-Thank you.." you opened your textbook on the ideal page. "I want to be.. alone, right now.."

He nods at you and lays down the handkerchief on your table and goes back to his table at the front, leaving you with all the space you need.

"Water-addict.. do you hate me?"

**

Haruka's POV**

I raised a brow at my female seatmates who was just giggling beside me. "So, you broke up with her now? Haruka-kun?" the other blonded-hair female asks, I was just looking like a complete idiot- puzzled at what was happening.

"I think he doesn't know, Lia-chan." a friend of the other one whispered to her significant other but I could hear it really clearly.

"Doesn't know what?" my thoughts were messed up and my braincells are already dying because they are drowning of being belwildered now.

The blondy chuckles and shows me her phone screen of an article of some rumors updated. As I was carefully looking at the screen, I saw an image of a female beside a familiar guy.

"Isn't that your girlfriend, Haruka-kun? (Y/n)-san?" she questions and my eyes widens as I examined the faces of the persons who was laughing and talking together. It was squid and- "Idiotic Shark-Boy?!.."

"Look at his expression.."

"I know right! He's probably mad at her chick."

My head was going to explode any moment now, I coudn't clearly process everything that was happening in my poor brain. Its too much for me to handle.

"I sympathize you, Haruka-kun. You don't deserve to be treated like thi--"

I cutted her words by annoyingly saying, "Shut your mouth."

Then more giggles and chuckles was heard on my surroundings. Everytime they say a phrase, it hurts my heart and it makes me angry. They're making fun of my squid, complete idiots.

"He is going to be single soon! Yes! I have a chance, senpai!"

"No! I liked him first! No fair."

I mentally facepalmed while my ears are starting to bleed carelessly. I distracted myself by looking at the window while drowing myself in my thoughts.

"Sure, I'm mad about the picture I just saw but- what if it was edited again?.. what if.. its true? What if she really cheated on me? Does she not like me anymore?.."

I sighed with a frown, "Damn, all this questions are making me plain sick. High School is always the worse part when it comes to dramas."
