"Are you sure you're okay?" 


"Yeah, yeah, I'll be fine." 


It's morning and Rin is giving me a worried look as I'm curled up in my futon.


"Seems like we can't go to school together, sorry for making you all the way here for nothing." 


"No, it's fine, it's actually better this way." 


I realize what Rin wants to say, so I open my mouth first. 


"I really am okay. I just got a small fever. A short nap and I should be back in form." 


"Were you... staying up late again?" 


Rin gives me a harsh glare as she says that. 


"N-no, definitely not." 


"I should have known..." 


Just like how I know when Rin is lying, Rin knows when I'm lying too. Before I had time to think if I have any noticeable habits like Rin, Rin puts her hand on her jaw and opens her mouth. 


"So... what have you been doing?" 


Her expression is like she's searching for something, her voice full of conviction. There's no way I could ever deceive her. There's only one thing that comes to mind... 


It's possible that high stress can cause fevers. And because I’m stressed, my body temperature just keeps on increasing. The reason for my body temperature rise might be different from people but still. Well the source of my stress is pretty obvious, but... 


"When I calm down, I’ll talk." 


My brain is a mess, but it's not like we're in a rush in the morning. That's why I'll remain silent. 


"Alright then..." 


I'm sure Rin knows what's happening with me, but she's not pushing any further. But she's pursing her lips. I know exactly what she's thinking. From the bottom of my heart, I'm sorry Rin. 


"Alright, I'll head to school now." 


"Yeah... see you."


I wave my hand as Rin starts to head out. Just then, my hand freezes, and I feel a chill up my spine. 


"Rin..?" 


"Yes?" 


She kneels by my futon, her voice full affection. 


"Please talk to me as soon as you can." 


Rin's already stroking my face with her hand. She's tending to me with such kindness and affection. My body feels weak and my pupils slowly start to get hot. 


"I'm sorry I made you worry..." 


"It's fine..." 


She has such a warm and soothing voice. Rin reluctant parts her hand from my forehand as she slowly gets up. 


"I'll be going now." 


With a bow, Rin leaves my room and I'm greeted with a haunting silence. The second hand on the clock is louder than ever and a lonely sensation washes over me, like I'm in some ghost town.

I'm sick and tired of my childhood friend's, now girlfriend, constant abuse so I broke up with her Chapter 16: Web of Deceit

Chapter 16: Web of Deceit Link to Original Chapter: https://ncode.syosetu.com/n0844gb/16/ It doesn't seem that Erika Daidouji is suspicious of anything. I made sure to use the account handle that Hanabi always uses "flower_sou_honey" to ensure nothing seems suspicious. Once I see Daidouji's messages, I immediately send my messages, doing my best to imitate Hanabi. Her speech pattern, way of thinking, her hate of emotes, it's all seared into my mind. In order to talk like her, I imagine her bored face and creepy smile. hanasou: Thanks, I just made this account. hanasou: Since you brought it up, I wanted to talk about the incident where Yukishiro-senpai came to your house. erikachi@RiverMineDeath: wat u wanna talk abt o(^▽^)o hansou: When Yukishiro-senpai came to visit, you said other people were there? erikachi@RiverMineDeath: yeah 2 guys were with her. i was so shocked lol erikachi@RiverMineDeath: is something the matter (΄◉◞౪◟◉｀) erikachi@R

I heard this after the fact, but it was Yukishiro-san who initially noticed that something was off when I wasn't there at the campfire. Seemed like she talked to Hasuike about it. Once no one saw me after dinner, my classmates went out to look for me. Because of that, no one in my class was at the campfire. No one blamed me, as they were worried for me.  Once the teachers found out about the stunt Hanabi, Kirigaya and his lackeys pulled off, they were immediately suspended. Hanabi was then taken to the hospital and it was confirmed she had a compound fracture in her right foot that needed surgery. Thus, she's staying at the hospital. Two days afterwards, I received a short apology letter Hanabi wrote.  "Honestly, all of this is just messing with me. First, you shovel so much hostility upon me. The

Hic... that Senapi didn't love me... But still... Ugh..."  What's she even saying and just what the hell is going on? I mean, I did want to switch up my approach and find a way where we can break things off amicable, but this completely unwarranted situation is throwing me off my game.  "But I didn't... want to accept that... Augh... Because you're my only Senpai."  "..."  "I didn't mean for all of this to happen... but facing the reality that Senpai didn't love me... Ugh... I mean, you dumped me so harshly... and I hurt so much... so now that you're all nice... I couldn't take it anymore... Eugh... Ugh..."  I sta
