Chapter Two.

"Hey, Rai-chi." Riku called slapping my back.

"Riku, the hell?" I asked angrily which made him grin.

"Sup' Raizo." Juro called as we walked into the school compound.

"Hey, Rai did you do yesterday's homework?" Riku asked scratching the back of his head.

"Yup, but you aren't getting it." I said smiling.

Actually, I overslept the previous day. I woke up very late at night and that was when I did the homework, he doesn't expect me to give it to him freely.

"Your lunch is on me then, I'll buy you lunch so please." He pleaded.

"Who told you I didn't........" Just then, I remembered I wasn't with food in school. "Um..... you know you can't bribe me with food. I'll just give it to you cause you are my friend." I said looking away and smiling to myself.

"So you don't need the...."

"You most certainly would buy me lunch." I said as they laughed.

As I thought, I wasn't getting much attention as I was the previous day. Classes went on as usual and I was as quiet as usual.

"Raichi, what do you say we go to an arcade today?" Riku asked, his chopsticks between his lips.

"Huh? Why'd you bring that up now?" I asked enjoying the food he bought for me.

"Well, we haven't spent much time together since we entered the second year." Juro said.

"Hmm, it's just that, you guys have club activities and so on." I said placing my chopsticks on my plate.

"Well, yeah, we get it, but just for today..... and other days." Rio said.

"Yeah, infact, why don't you join a club too?" Juro asked.

Well, yeah, am not in any club, that's cause I love playing games and there's no gaming club in school.

"Yeah, you could join the arts....."

"Shut the fuck up Rio. Am not interested in any club." I said munching my omurice. "But, you know. Am really happy that you guys wanna hang out. I'll just wait for you guys to end your activities, then we'll to the arcade." I said smiling.

"Cool."

"Raizo Yamaguchi." Miss Nana Nagasa called when I got into the staff room.

"Good day ma." I greeted, bowing slightly.

"I heard you aren't in any clubs." She said looking up at me.

*Damn those bastards.* I thought clenching my fist.

"Yes ma." I said smiling.

"Do you have any reason?" She asked as I nodded disapprovingly. "Then, I need you to submit your form before next week. The form for the club you'll be joining." She said before dismissing me.

"Ha, the hell is this." I lamented dragging my feet in the hallway.

"Ow, am really sorry." Yoshida said as I looked up at her. We had bumped into each other.

"Oh, it's nothing. I actually wanted to apologise for yesterday." I said scratching the back of my head.

"Hmm, for yesterday, why are you apologising?" She asked.

"Oh, silly me." I said smiling.

*She wouldn't even bother remembering my name, why would she remember someone like me.* I thought.

"Well, I should be apologising, I made Rika hit you. It was my fault that the food got wasted." She said as I looked up at her.

"No, please don't." I said as she bowed her head.

"No, I really am." She said looking up at me.

"You shouldn't bother about someone like me." I said smiling.

"Don't say that Yamaguchi!" She shouted startling me.

"Um...am really sorry." I apologized not knowing her reason for flaring.

"No, I am, please excuse me." She said running away.

"Well, that was something." I said looking at my left. I felt someone was standing there watching me.

*Hhmm, stalkers.* I thought walking out and acting like I didn't notice him. *Maybe I'll try investigating his case.*

"Hahaha." Juro laughed at the way my face was.

"I don't get why this is so funny." I said angrily.

"You should really join the arts club, since you know how to draw and all." Rio said.

"You guys!!" I screamed as we walked out of school.

"Just forget that for now, we are off to the arcade." Juro said smiling as I followed them pouting.

As we walked out, I saw Yoshida walking out of school with her friends. My eyes caught one corner of the school and I saw a guy standing there with a camera, I guess he was taking pictures of her.

*That must be the stalker. Would he follow her home?* I thought as Juro dragged me with him.

"Hey!!" By the time I turned, the stalker had already gone.

*Dammit.*

We took the same path that Yoshida and her friends took, that was just a coincidence. As we walked and talked, I felt someone following us.

*The stalker is still on us. I need to get him.* I thought walking slowly.

"Hey Raichi, don't make us leave you behind." Rio said.

"Um, guys. I think I left something in class, go on without me." I said walking out.

*The stalker might be dangerous.* I thought walking out while looking at my sides. Just then, I saw a fat guy wearing a cap and sunglasses walk past me. "That's him.* I thought as I turned I dragged him into a corner and threw him yo the floor.

"Who the hell are you?" He asked looking scared.

"I should be asking you that." I said, my clenched fist raised.

"Am.. am really sorry. My boss asked me to do this. Please spare me." He said with his hands raised.

"Huh? Your boss."

*Is he a Yakuza boss or what, and what does Yoshida have to do with him.*

"Well, my boss wanted her to join a......" He couldn't continue and then I noticed someone behind me.

"Um, Yamaguchi, what are you doing?"
