BXBX NOVEL Chapter 12 - Chase
Chapter 12 - Chase
"Where do you think you\'re going?" he asked and Zeri stared at him as she immediately replied.
"I\'m going home." She tried pulling back her bag but the guy didn\'t let go. He even raised her bag higher that her arms were slightly lifted.
"What are you doing? Let go, I need to go now." She protested when Kira\'s lips simply curved upwards as he leaned in on her from behind. He moved his lips closer to her ear as he spoke.
"Did you already forget that you\'re my girlfriend now? You have to fulfill your duty as my girlfriend." He whispered in a s.e.xy tone.
"We\'re going to go somewhere fun." He added thinking that Zeri would be excited. But then, to his surprise, the girl didn\'t react the way he wanted again.
"But I have a part time job and I can\'t be late. I really have to go now." Contrary to what Kira expected, Zeri didn\'t show any excitement but she even persisted to leave. Her reaction made Kira narrow his eyes and the next moment, he pulled Zeri\'s bag as he walked out of the classroom, forcing Zeri to follow him.
"Hey, let go." She continued protesting as she walked backwards, as she quickly caught up with the person pulling her. Zeri started to get mad. She already told him to let her go, even explained to him her reason but he was still forcing her like this? Did he even hear what she said at all?
Zeri couldn\'t afford to be late since she was just new to this job. This new job was important to her and she knew that she might not be able to find a job like this again if she messed it up.
Without any other choice, Zeri could only think about ditching him again. Since he was not listening to her, it\'d be useless for her to use words to let her go.
Thus, she decided to use her strength. However, before she could even begin, a voice jolted her.
"Kira, where are you going?" someone spoke and as soon as Zeri raised her eyes and saw Rei just before her, her nerves froze and her body seemed to have turned into heavy stone. He moved closer and Zeri could only go even stiffen. She wanted to run but the guy holding her just wouldn\'t let her go.
Zeri couldn\'t even speak. Her fear started to take over when she heard another guy walk over to them.
"Hey Kira! What\'s going on? Who is she?!" Kira turned towards the guy who was approaching them with a wide smile. He was Kenji, his childhood friend who was in the other class.
"Shut up Ken, you\'re too loud." Kira said but the guy walked past him and he went straight to the quiet girl. Ken circled Zeri as if he was surveying her.
"Hello Miss, what\'s your name?" he asked as his eyes twinkled. When the girl didn\'t reply and simply looked down on the floor, Ken raised his face to Kira and asked him instead.
"Kira, is it her? Huh? Is this her?" As Ken was still asking him, another one walked over to them.
"Ken, you\'re too loud. Quiet down." He said as he stopped near Zeri. He glanced at her before his gaze fell on Kira.
"Shun, why are you here too? You\'re supposed to wait for us in the gym." Kira seemed displeased as soon as he saw Shun. This person was the captain of Kazehara High\'s basketball team and he was even stricter than their coach. Being seen by him right now only meant that it would be hard for him to escape club practice today.
"The captain should be the first to arrive at the gym so just go." Kira added and Shun simply smiled.
"Let\'s all go together." He replied and Kira could only bite his lip. He was about to protest when he noticed Squirrel\'s unusual behavior. Since Ken approached them, she never spoke and she never raised her face again.
Looking at her, Kira felt that there was something really off about her. He bent closer to her and even though he couldn\'t see her face, he could see her clenched fists slightly trembling. She suddenly looked like she was extremely scared about something, causing Kira\'s forehead to crease. What happened? What\'s wrong with her?!
Kira was starting to feel somewhat worried. He didn\'t have any idea why this squirrel was suddenly acting like this; as though she had just been surrounded by ghosts and was now in shock.
Subconsciously, Kira loosened up his grip on her bag. He slowly let go of it as he spoke.
"Hey, what happened? What\'s wro-" Kira couldn\'t even finish his words. It was because as soon as he let go of her bag, without any warning, she dashed away so fast that Kira and the others even felt the wind created by her turbo speed.
Kira was left speechless as he watched the girl disappear. Ken and Shun looked like they just saw something unbelievable while Rei was the only one smiling, as if he was amused by the show.
Kira\'s hand that was holding her was bag just hung in the air. D-did she just act like that so I would let her go? Squirrel… you…!!!
"Ken, chase her." Kira suddenly ordered with a very serious tone so despite Ken\'s confusion, he still immediately said \'okay\' and he ran after her.
That moment, Shun leaned in on Rei as he whispered. "When did Kira the great start chasing girls?"
"Haha, I think it started yesterday." Rei replied and Shun\'s eyes widened. Well, who would believe that this Kira, who was always being chased by countless number of girls, was now the one chasing a girl like this? Not to mention that he was even chasing her, literally?
Pfft! This is fun!
