Chapter 43

For two whole days, Ryu refused to pick my calls and it irked me to no end. I couldn't see him in school since he was suspended and I would have gone to his house but I had a shit ton of work to do.

It was as if the teachers planned to punish us with a huge load of homework. Like what the fuck! And I was especially weak in Biology so I had to sleep over at Haruto's so we could do them together.

Ryu kept running through my mind non-stop. I had no idea what he was doing or what he was going through. He had every right to be mad at me, yes, but it's been two whole fucking days! Haven't I been punished enough?

I fished out my phone from my bag then dialled his number again but he still didn't pick. I let out a heavy sigh and placed my phone on the bench.

"Girl problems?" a not quite close friend of mine, Kouga asked. He had pitch black hair, doe brown eyes and looks like an adorable bunny when he smiles.

I scoffed. The image of Ryu's handsome face and his smooth abs bloomed in my head. There was nothing feminine about the guy I think I'm dating.

Still, I replied. "Not exactly but yeah"

We were in the boys locker room. We had just finished P.E and I was sitting on a bench with a towel tied around my waist, waiting for a few people to come out of the bath stalls so I could take my turn to shower.

Kouga sat next to me, still wearing the P.E track suit which was a navy blue colour with our school badge stitched over the heart.

"Wanna talk about it? I give useful relationship advice" he said but I rolled my eyes.

"You, Kouga, who despite being good looking and the best athlete in our school, has been single since Junior high, wants to give me, relationship advice? No thank you"

He chuckled then nudged me on the shoulder. "Dude do you have to say it like that? Besides, single people give the best relationship advice"

"Yeah I don't believe that" I said, shaking my head.

"Try me" he replied. "If it doesn't work, I'll agree that single people can't give relationship advice"

I mulled it over in my head for a while then shrugged. Hearing him out won't be that bad.

"Well, here's what happened" I said then proceeded to tell him everything while referring to Ryu as a 'she' and tweaking the context a little so he wouldn't suspect anything.

Especially regarding the fact that the cafeteria incident was huge and there's no way he didn't witness it or hear about it.

Kouga chuckled. "This is easy. Go to her house with a bouquet of her favourite flowers and maybe a box of chocolate or a gift then apologise from the bottom of your heart. Girls are soft. Use your charm Aito-kun. I bet she'll melt and forgive you right away"

I imagined myself at Ryu's doorstep holding a bunch of roses and box of chocolate and I cringed. No fucking way.

Ryu is a macho tough domineering guy. How could flowers and chocolates soften him up?

"Why do you have a weird look on your face?" Kouga asked, bursting my imagination bubble.

I shook my head. "Any other ideas? What if things like that don't sway her?"

Kouga kept quiet and thought for a while. Then he said, "Honestly, I'll apologise first then just seduce and make love to her all night. All will be forgiven by morning"

I blanched.

M-Make love?

A few guys walked out butt naked and wet from the showers and Kouga stood up, patting me on the shoulder. "You know your girl best dude but seriously, the second advice works faster. Bring out that charm that makes all the girls fall for you and forget us. Tell me if it works tomorrow".

With that, he walked away.

I sighed and ran my fingers through my platinum blonde locks.

Make love...

********

After school, I drove to Ryu's house. I was super nervous and my palms were moist with sweat. In fact, my white shirt was sticking to my skin. I had to remove my blazer and crank up the AC of the car but it was no use. I was sweating bullets and my heart was beating faster than a jackhammer.

Why the hell was I so nervous?!

He won't yell at me and kick me out, would he?

He won't break up with me either right?

Break ups require two people. Even if he wants to, I will most definitely not agree.

Wait.

Why am I even thinking so much? I am Yamamoto Aito. I am like, the richest, most handsome, most irresistible guy. No girl had ever turned me down. I could easily seduce him into forgiving me.

Making love... no way. Not ready yet but I could give him a blowjob or I could let him do things that didn't require penetration.

"Fuck" I groaned, resting my head on the steering wheel. When did I fall for him so bad? What did he do to me? Why does everything about him affect me so much?

Ah fuck it. It was now or never. I got out of my car and locked it. It was only when I stood before the door that I realised a motorbike was parked beside Ryu's truck.

My brain started to reel. Who's motorbike could that be? Was Ryu seeing someone else? Is that why he refused to talk to me for two days? Oh hell no.

I wanted to knock at first but I saw that the door was slightly ajar so I let myself in. I could hear a string of hysterical laughter coming from his bedroom. Fear and anger coursed through me. I was terrified of what I would see and I was also mad at him but I went to his room nonetheless.

"Oh my God Ryu" I heard a different voice say. It was a bit deep and smooth like butter. "I wish you were there. You would have seen the way San threw up on that bitch's face. It was hilarious!"

I heard Ryu chuckle. "What happened after?"

"What else? The idiot passed out"

Ryu tsked. "Why does he bother drinking when he knows he can't handle it?"

"Said practise makes perfect"

I wanted to see who Ryu was ignoring me for. Yeah I was eavesdropping. Pretty petty of me but I didn't care.

The room door wasn't completely closed so I nudged it enough to see with one eye.
