Summary: Manabu doesn't want to be quiet and only stare when he bullies other people. No, he has to do something about it, even if he might regret it later.
I left the rest of food in my locker, then went to take a shower. I was glad I could still attend to school, because I wasn't smelly and dirty, that would be a disaster. When I finished washing myself, I put clean clothes on and went to the toilet, I had to drink some water, because I was really thirsty. I bent over the tap and drank some of it.
"Do you know it's unhealthy to drink tap water, Manabu?" I immediately recognized this voice and I quickly turned around.
"It isn't your business, Byou. Can you leave me alone, please?" I tried to bypass him, but he grabbed my arms and pushed me backwards. My back collided with cold tiles.
"Stealing food from groceries isn't a good thing either."
I looked at him terrified and suddenly thought about one, important thing you have to do when you commit something illegal. Never say you did it.
"What are you talking about?" I tried to act like a clueless person.
"Stop pretending, I saw everything and I even took some pics with my cell phone." He took it out of his pocket and showed me the photos.
"D...don't tell anyone about it, please! I promise I won't do that anymore!" If he told teachers about it, they would expel me from the school and I wouldn't be able to take showers there... This is the only place I can go to, so I can't let that happen!
"Why? It would be fun to tell everyone from this school you're a shoplifter... What's the point in holding it back?"
"Please, Byou... Don't do that to me, I was just hungry and I didn't have money for the food... I will do everything if you keep it a secret." I looked at him pleadingly.
"Everything? Fine. You need to be punished for the theft, first." He grabbed my arms and pushed me inside one of the stalls. "On your knees." He commanded and I obeyed him, then he put my head into the toilet bowl and flushed down the toilet. The water was really cold and I thought I would puke, because it was gross to keep my head inside the thing where people pee and take a poo. When I felt he released my head, I looked upwards. Cold water drops has been falling from my hair and my eyes stung. Then I felt a lot of water being poured on my head and uniform and in result I've been trembling.
"You look funny, do you know that? I could do everything with you and you wouldn't complain." He kicked my thigh and laughed. "I'm going to have more fun with you later... I have to go now. Bye, you pathetic fool."
I sighed in relief when I heard he went out of the bathroom, though I didn't know what to do with my uniform... It was soaking wet. The weather was sunny and warm, so I just went outside and sat on the grass, hoping the sun will dry it, even a little bit.
I didn't try to steal food from groceries anymore. I ate everything I got, so I became really hungry again, but I still was afraid to ask anyone for food. I've been slowly getting used to hunger, so it wasn't that bad. I was only afraid something might happen to me and they take me to the hospital. Doctors would try to contact my parents for sure and then they would probably send me to the orphanage. I didn't want to go there, even sleeping in this abandoned building was better, at least I could be alone and I needed that, I wasn't in a mood to talk with anyone. I was even too sad to be able to cry, so I often sat near the broken window and stared at the street, absentmindedly. Sooner or later the teachers will figure out that I don't live with my parents anymore, because sometimes they call them. I really didn't know what to do, such life wasn't that bad, except the thing with food. At least I didn't need to talk with anyone. I only talked with Yuuto and sometimes Shin at school, because I wouldn't call thing with Byou a conversation. He's been laughing at me all the time and I had to allow him to do everything with me, because every time I did something wrong, he threatened me with these photos.
"Manabu, you're terribly skinny! I haven't seen you eating anything since Monday!"
It was already Friday and yeah, I haven't eaten anything since Monday, Yuuto was right.
"Oh... I just eat lunch with Shin, sorry for that. I hope you don't feel bad..." I lied.
"That's ok." He smiled. "I eat lunch with my b... girlfriend anyway, I need to spend some time with her."
"You've never told me anything about this girl. Who is she? I was really curious, because Yuuto mentioned her only a few times and refused to tell me more.
"It's a secret." My friend laughed and sat behind his desk.
"Ok, I won't ask you about her anymore, sorry."
I wonder if he noticed we didn't meet after school even once during this week, maybe he's just busy with his girlfriend.
I got up from my seat and tried to fight with giddiness. I felt it really often and I was really weak, I had to do something about it. Maybe I should tell Yuuto my mom failed again and I need his lunch? This thought remained forgotten when I met Shin on the corridor.
"Hi, how is your band?" I asked him and forced myself to smile. I wasn't in a good mood again, but I suddenly needed to talk with someone who doesn't know me as well as Yuuto. I could say something wrong and he might become suspicious.
"Oh, hello, Manabu. We were really lucky last time, because a lot of people came to see us, so we didn't have to pay for the club."
"That's good, I hope I can see you on the stage one day."
"We will be playing in Takadanobaba Area next month probably, I will tell you the details later. How are you, Manabu? You don't look well..."
Oh shit, he noticed that. I hate such questions, but there are a few, simple answers who can shut someone up.
"I'm just tired, I couldn't sleep at night, because my neighbors decided to throw a party..." How many times did I have to lie this week? I'm sure it was a lot.
"That's bad... Go and buy yourself a coffee, because you might get a detention if you fall asleep in the middle of a class."
"Sure, I will." I pretended I went into the direction of cafeteria, but my target was the toilet.
I splashed cold water on my face, because I could almost fall asleep, everything became so blurry... but when I shook my head violently, it went away.
Suddenly, someone I really didn't want to see went inside. I immediately grabbed the door of one of the stalls, but it was too late, he noticed me.
"Why are you trying to run away from me, Manabu?" He smirked and approached me.
"I... I didn't, I just... wanted to pee and..."
"Do I look like an idiot? Stop lying." He grabbed my jacket and violently threw me at the wall. "You shouldn't run away from me, you know?"
He opened a window with his free hand, lifted me from the ground and pushed my upper half of the body outside.
"Byou, no, what are you doing?! I can fall out of this window!" I could feel his strong grip on my hips and I saw the green grass, outside the school building, a few meters below my head.
"Yeah, you can... and what would happen? Nothing. Because you're no one important. Nobody would miss you and care about you! I would only lose my punching bag, but I could live without it."
One of his hands released my left hip. Everything, my fear, my weak condition and stress made me dizzy. I still knew what's happening though and I had to do something, I couldn't die here...
"Byou, I beg you... Don't do that... I know I'm nobody, but I... I don't want to fall down there, it's a fucking third floor!"
He grabbed me with both his hands and pulled me in.
"That was really fun, I thought you're going to pee your pants, Manabu! You should thank me for being that merciful, so..."
The world was spinning around me and I could barely hear what he's saying. I also heard someone entered the toilet and started talking. I think it was something like:
"Byou, what happened?"
"Oh, Kazuki, that was terrifying... Manabu almost fell out of the window! Fortunately I grabbed him and..."
"Oh my God, look at him, Byou... He's going to faint, we have to take him to the nurse or call his parents!"
Then everything went black.
