Chapter 53
*Knock Knock!*
''Yua-chan~'' I called her as I knock on her room twice.
''Miyu senpai, welcome in.'' Yua opened the door and give me a hand gesture, showing me her room.
''So, how was your life? Wonderful?'' I asked.
''Yup! I don't need to wake up early in the morning nor doing any house course.'' She said cheerfully.
''Here, have a seat senpai!'' Yua patted the tatami floor that's covered with 2 light pastel blue colour pillow.
I placed my bag next to me as I sit on the comfortable flat pillow. Soon, I notice that her room was filled with all kind of anime doll and poster. Even her shelf was filled with mangga.
''Hey, Yua-chan, do you have The Moon and The Knights mangga?'' I asked.
''The Moon and The Knights? I think I have one.... let me see...'' Yua went to her bookshelf and started to search for it.
''Ah! Here it is!'' She exclaimed.
Seeing her holding The Moon and The Knights mangga in her hand, I instantly got very excited and can't wait to hold that in my hand.
''Yua-chan, can I see it please~" Clasping my both hand together, my eyes began to dazzle.
''Fck off with that puppy eyes, senpai!'' Yua looks at me with disgust. I can see her goosebumps on the arm from this distance.
''Just give me already!'' Feeling impatient, I stand up and snatch the mangga from her hand.
''Oh wow! Was this the limited edition of this mangga? How do you get this?'' I was amazed at how this mangga seems brand new and untouched.
''Well, I got this from a lucky draw at the firework festival last year. If you like the mangga so much, then you can have it, senpai.'' Yua offered me.
''Really? Can I REALLY have this mangga?'' I was surprised by her generous offer.
''Yea and I don't really watch an anime that was meant for kids.''
Hearing Yua saying that, all of a sudden I felt my body was electrified by thunder. I never expected Yua to say that The Moon and The Knights were made for children.
''B-by the way Yua-chan....'' I shuttered a bit after that sudden shock I received.
''Here is your paperwork from your classmate.'' I showed her a few pieces of paperwork.
''Did Miyu senpai personally go to my teacher and take these?'' Yua seems very touched as she looks at the paper.
*Inhaled*
''I am sorry to say this but I will never help anyone to personally take their homework from the teachers unless the teacher or the classmate give it to me so I will fulfil my task and take this paperwork to that person—'' I said that all in one breathe but she cuts in.
''Are you rapping or what, Miyu senpai....?'' Yua gives me a weird look n the face.
''—in the other word, it was not me but your classmate asked me to bring this to you.'' I pointed at her.
*Exhaled*
''The fck?'' Yua sees more and more confused.
''Don't mind me, I was just high on weeds for a brief moment just now.'' I calmly said as I flipping through the mangga.
''And by the way, Miyu senpai, did Yuuto-san asked you out already?'' She asked.
''Eh? How do you know about it?'' I close the mangga and place it in my bag.
''Well, it was my idea in the first place.'' Yua casually placed her chin on her hand that's resting on the small table in front of us.
''Wait, WHAT?! It was YOUR idea?'' Feeling surprised, I slap the table and look at her in disbelief.
''Yup.'' She smiled.
''And where are you guys going for that date?'' Yua tilts her head b bit to the side.
''It was not a date, it was like more to hanging out together. And we are going to the theme park this weekend.'' I excitedly explained.
''Eh, was it~ So have you decide your clothing yet?'' She asked with a cunning voice.
''Not really, I think I will wear something like a T-shirt and jeans I guess...'' Holding up my chin, I began to imagine the possibility of what type of clothing I might be wearing.
''What if the both of you try to wear a couple themed shirt?'' Yua suggested.
''Oh my goodness! Why didn't think about it earlier? I should ask Yuuto-kun to wear The Moon and The Knight shirt! It will be so damn cool to be able to use a bro's goal shirt.'' I get so excited that I decide to went back home to check whether there's an extra shirt for him.
''Okay then, I need to head back home to check out the shirt. Bye, Yua-chan and thank you for the mangga.'' I waved her goodbye and went out of her room.
''Bye... I guess....'' Yua awkwardly waves her goodbye.
'Gosh... this girl is sure pretty dumb...' Yua slaps her forehead as she watches Miyu went out from her room and heading towards home.

'You have failed to protect her. She was all bruised because of you and your friend.' The unknown number texted my phone.
Instantly, my finger began to type wildly on my screen as the fear in me grew more and more.
'I have tried my best to stop my friends. Believe me, I didn't even lay my finger on her that day!!' I replied to the chat.
'I wish not to see you failed to protect her or else you know what will happen.' The unknown number send her that text.
''Fck it!'' I throw my phone on my bed in anger.
'How on earth this bastard know about my past and it even has those pictures?!'
Feeling angry, I started to throw punches on the punching bag that was hanging in my room. I keep on punching the bag in anger that I didn't realize that my knuckles are bruised.
I lean against the wall and slide down to the floor. Unconsciously, I started to cry silently as I began to recall all of my childhood memory.
'Fatty! Fatty! Fatty!' The voice of people teasing me keeps on playing in repeat.
*Knock! Knock!*
''Chika-chan, are you alright?'' My mother knock on my door and asked me.
''I am fine mom. I was just practising punching in here.'' I lied.
''Okay then, sweetheart. Don't push yourself too hard. Later when you are finished, come out and eat okay.''
''Okay...'' I murmured.
