Friday.
It has now been a week since that incident.
Although I had made sure it didn't spread around the school by contacting the Director as soon as possible and leading Aina to the dorm instead of her class to get her belongings, it seems someone had heard a scream in the infirmary and found out about what had happened.
Though they didn't know the exact details, rumors were going around that Ito Yua was attacked by a third-year student called Kaizaki and attempted to rape her. The school pulled different strings to keep things under the wrap but it didn't stop the students' mouths from running off. It seems this incident hasn't reached the media which is probably due to the old hag's efforts and influence.
One thing that surprised me was the change in attitudes. Both in boys and girls.
For boys, they seemed relieved. Maybe they kind of understood what Kaizaki must have been feeling. I mean, every one of them was smitten by Ito Yua and many must h

How My Life Was Ruined 025: It Was Not Meaningless
"...Ah!" My eyes felt heavy and I was having trouble opening them. With much effort, I half-opened my eyes and saw a white ceiling. It was completely white as if I was in a hospital. I turned my head sideways and saw that there was someone. "Oh? You awake?" It was a masculine voice; one that sounded familiar. I propped myself up in the bed with my hands and looked around. It really was a hospital. A scent peculiar to hospital rooms reached my nose. I realized that I was in a hospital bed. No wonder my back hurt. But, why was I here? I pressed my hand on my head and tried to remember. "Ah, that's right. The old hag..." I was in her office. I remember yelling something at her, her smiling face, and the moment I passed out. "The Director said you fainted because of high blood pressure and brought you here." I looked at Yamamoto. "Why are you here?" "I was visiting Yua and then met the Director on the way. She told me what had happ

After two days of getting out of the hospital, I headed to the grave.There was a small stall outside the entrance where an elderly woman was selling flowers. I decided to buy some.I bought lilys and chrysanthemums in yellow and white and handed her the money."You seem fine today.""Hmm? What do you mean?" I was startled. I didn't know what she was talking about out of nowhere. Although I remember seeing her around here, this was the first time I had talked to her or greater she had talked to me."Whenever you come here you always seem like you are suffering so much and want to run away but today there is not a trace of that. So I was a bit surprised."No. It was me who was surprised. This old woman had been watching me? But I don't remember her keeping an eye on me. However, she was correct. Whenever I came here, it was so that I can escape from everything. She was completely true. But today was different."Well, today I a

How My Life Was Ruined 029: Who Is The Mastermind
Shizuku Aina was feeling conflicted.Ito thanked her for saving her.True, back then, in the infirmary, she did end up intervening and she believed if she hadn't interfered something more horrible would have happened. That was why she was glad she was able to take action.But, she hadn't taken action based just on her own emotions and reasons. In fact, she remembers turning away from the door to the infirmary. What propelled her to take that deciding step were words that someone had spoken to her before."For example, there is a person that you don't like. You despise them. But you found them in a perilous situation. What would you do then? Would you lend a hand or would you ignore that person? Now, say, what would you do?"She was not so sure whether it was her own will or his words that encouraged her to intervene. She believed her legs had moved just to prove her point to Kage. Just to make sure that she wasn't someone who just
How My Life Was Ruined 030: I Love You
When I returned from the cafeteria, I noticed that there was a small, unusual gap in the middle of my textbook. Checking it, I found a small piece of paper. On the paper was mentioned that I had to meet this person, whoever they were, in the old school building after school today. "Old school building, eh?" That sure sounds nostalgic. I very well knew who was the one behind this. Just as instructed in the paper, after school, I went to the old school building. This time I didn't waste time and climbed the stairs to the second floor. I pulled out my phone and dialed a certain someone's number. After making sure the other side had picked, I put the phone back inside the pocket. Without knocking, I opened the door to Class 2-A. What greeted me first was her long black hair along with her short skirt fluttering. She was standing by the window with her back towards me. The rays of sun that were peeking from the window shone on her lustrous black hair. She had a pa
How My Life Was Ruined 031: The Full Picture
"I was the one who orchestrated it all," I affirmed.Aina was looking at me incredulously. The way she was asking me whether I had planned it all or not; she definitely had some sort of proof to back her up.My eyes landed on her hand and the piece of torn paper she was pinching between her thumb and index finger.Pointing at that I said, "So it was my handwriting, eh? But still, to have concluded it was me just from that alone is amazing. You sure are sharp, eh, Aina."I was honestly praising her but she was not in a state to accept it. She was fuming. She was angry at me. Well, that was not surprising in the least.The sound of her teeth clattering reached my ears. I have never seen her this angry before."Why..."She began. Her face was red with anger."Why?!"She cried. She was quite a distance away from me but she closed it in an instant. She grabbed me by my collar and like a ferocious beast, spoke with her face ri

"Hmm? What do you mean by how I handled things?" I tilted my head to the side."I know you wanted to save Ito-san but there should have been better ways to do that. You didn't need to resort to such a horrible method!" She was running out of breath. Her face was red as a tomato."If there were any other methods, then why didn't you think of it and acted upon it?""Huh?""I only came to this school sometime back. But you were here from the start. right? It's been two years now. If there were any good methods then why didn't you use them? Why didn't you save her?"She had no counterargument. How could she forget that? How could someone like her or any other student blame me for what I did?"You of all people, don't have the right to say anything to my methods. You didn't even try to do anything so there's no way you have any right to raise objections to my methods."She ground her teeth in frustration. As someone who didn't do
