A Weird Interview : Part-3

"How was your day at school?" He asked.

I didn't know how to respond. The person I was talking with was one of those people I fear the most. Even though there weren't any reasons for me to fear him. He was one of those people who you just fear because of their appearance as a person, the aura they spread. No, I am not talking about some kind of gangster people or something like that. I was talking about my dad.

"Yeah, it was pretty good," I let out a small laugh. I felt nervous inside for some reason.

Is he going to ask something about that? Does he know anything about it? Why do I feel like he's going to ask me about it? Does he have any connection with this?

Thousands of questions like that filled my brain. I took a deep breath to make myself stable.

"Hmm? Did anything special happen?" He asked.

Those questions filled my head again, my do I always feel like this whenever I talked with him? Is it because of that day? Or is it because of that thing I did?

With all those questions in my head, I replied to him "Nothing special, I met some new people. That's it."

"I see," He replied, "I am hanging up then," with that, he hung up.

...

There is something wrong with this school. I am sure of it. Not only that I'm the only one who knows about this, but I'm also aware that some students from other classes also know that something is not normal here.

A few hours ago I had a conversation with Yamado about this. Yamado Shin, the shy guy of that group I talked with, more like I was forced to talk with. Apparently, he got the same Email I did. But the one he got was on Sunday, which means he had to attend school early the next day AKA Monday. Which for me was on Wednesday.

Yamado Shin was from my class, 1-B. It was a good news for me that he was in the same class as me. I might again talk with him about it soon.

I don't know if I am wrong or not but something wasn't quite normal with him. He was stuttering a lot and looked very nervous for a high schooler. To be honest, I've never seen a single person that nervous before. He was also sweating a bit. Have I become such a scary person to talk with? Fumiko didn't look nervous or scared at all while talking with me. So, I can take the answer to that question as a no.

He might have an anxiety disorder, I might be wrong.

Still, in the conversation I had with him, it looked like that he was hiding something. Since he was already nervous, I didn't want to ask him about it.

Yamazuki and Minase had no clue about the C-block building. I wished they knew someone who'd know about that but there weren't any.

Fumiko, Ishzaki, and Yamazuki were childhood friends. They went to the same elementary school, middle school, and also High school. What an amazing friendship they have!

They didn't know any seniors who were trustworthy enough to share information. They hung out with each other all the time, they weren't familiar with any other students that much.

Yamada Shin was an exception.

Minase started hanging with Yamada out of nowhere. He introduced Yamada to Yamazuki, Ishizaki, and Fumiko. They weren't happy about the fact that an outsider joining their group, but they didn't have any choice but to accept him since Minase told them that he'd stop hanging with them if they didn't accept Yamada. The reason for Minase's weird behavior is still unknown to the others.

They didn't pry into it since Yamada was an acceptable guy.

To be honest, I think that Yamada is less dangerous than a small bug. He's like a half-broken glass, a slightly hard touch could smash it into pieces

I got all of this information from Ishizaki. We just happened to exchange contact numbers before leaving. I don't know if these informations would help anything with what I want to learn, but it was still better than knowing nothing.

Still, something was off about Minase's behavior. It's something my Subconscious mind knows, it's trying to send it through some riddles to my conscious mind. For some reason, I can't solve it.

....

"Fumiko-chan has a very frail younger brother you know," Yamazuki said, "he often gets sick."

Well, that was unexpected. I wanted to reply with an "I see" but didn't do it. Instead, I threw a rock into the darkness.

"Is that the reason why Fumiko's absent today too?"

Yamazuki looked at me with a surprised face. It looked like that the rock hit the bullseye.

I accidentally ran into her today, at the same spot I met Fumiko, at the library. I came here for the library card. I was supposed to receive the card yesterday, I hope that librarian is not angry.

"You're smart," She replied as she took out a book from the shelf. She opened the book and closed it in an instant, it's either it wasn't the book she was trying to find or she doesn't read at all.

Wait, if she doesn't read books then why is she here? The most logical answer was that she came here for Fumiko. She came here to borrow books for her.

"I know" I replied, I tried to be a little sarcastic. But she totally ignored my sarcasm and started talking about her beloved friend.

"Fumiko-chan was always the introverted type," She said, "She doesn't have any other friends than us. I mean close friends ahahaha,"

That was such a weak laugh, it was obvious that she was hiding something. Well, I didn't try to pry into it since she had told me way more than I was supposed to know.

"Want to visit Fumiko-chan today?" She suddenly asked me this sudden question. She looked at me with curious eyes.

What was that? Why'd you even ask a stranger like me such a question? I tried to clear my head with a deep breath.

"W-what?" I replied.

"You seemed to get along with her well," She replied, "Let's go after school, K?" With that, she left the library without letting me say a word.
