Omiko Imai knew the first thing she needed to do was apologise to the couple of the literature club, as well as warning everyone about the danger her previous blackmailer could mean to them.

The mint haired girl was walking through the halls of the school full of students who were either ready to go home or heading to their respective clubs.

Before she could go upstairs to the second floor where the literature club was, Omiko felt something grabbing her wrist and covering her mouth, dragging her inside a room.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As hesitant as Yuri was of asking her pink girlfriend about the rumours, the purple one still was being driven crazy and growing more and more anxious. Probably the club wasn't the best place to talk about that but she needed to know soon.

Before Yuri stopped hugging Natsuki while they read as usual, Monika approached them with a look of concern on her face, stopping Yuri's intentions.

"Girls, bad news, Sayori texted me saying she and Ryona won't be attending club today", Monika said. "Don't get me wrong, but what's the bad part about that, they probably just wanna make out somewhere", Natsuki said dismissively. "If you let me finish. She said Ryona and two of her classmates got in a fight and now she's at the principal's office", Monika continued. "A-Are they alright though?", Yuri asked concerned. "Sayori and Ryona? Yeah, they are. The other two students... Not so much", Monika said smiling awkwardly. "Why did they fight though?", Natsuki asked now looking worried. "I don't know, Sayori told me she'd tell us later. For now I guess we have to wait and see if there's something we can do for them", Monika replied.

"By the way, there's something that's been bugging me these days. You guys know where's Erika?", Monika asked as Natsuki and Yuri both glanced at the twintailed girls usual seat only to find it empty. "N-Now that you mention it, I didn't see her in class today", Yuri said. "She's been acting weird since last week, she only attended club twice last week and now Yuri says she's skipping school. She did text me at some point last week saying she was busy with stuff. I wonder what she's up to", Monika said with a hand on her hip.

"Miss Aono, I have received a report from the infirmary about the students you assaulted. A broken nose, a couple of broken ribs, aside from other minor injuries. You do realize this isn't something to be taken lightly, don't you?", the principal said with a serious look. "Yes, sir...", Ryona said with crossed arms looking off to the side.

"Principal, please, I told you she was just defending me, those two were getting physical with me first!", Sayori, who had convinced the principal to let her give her version of the story, said looking at the bald man with pleading eyes. "I understand that, but as much as she wanted to stand up for you, that was no way of doing it, she could've just talked to them or call a teacher, and the first thing she did was, however, punch that boy in the face", the chubby man said. "B-But...", Sayori muttered unable to find a better argument. "It's okay Sayori, I get into this kind of trouble a lot, I have already accepted whatever punishment I need", Ryona said placing a hand on her lovers shoulder, smiling at her.

After some more minutes of talk, the principal finally made up his mind. "Miss Aono, this time simple detention won't be enough and I have to face some angry parents surely the following days. So, you will be suspended for one month starting tomorrow, you already know the implications so, that's all for now. Now please go home, I have another issue to deal with", the bald man said and Ryona simply nodded, getting up from the chair and placing her hands on Sayori's shoulder, gently pushing her to the exit, as they peach haired girl was still trying to mumble something.

After talking to Monika about some of the recently odd events Natsuki and Yuri had gone back to her reading.

Natsuki pressed her back against Yuri's torso, quietly purring while Yuri rested her head on the shorter girl's shoulder, giving her soft kiss on her cheek as they read, wrapping her arms tighter around her lovers waist as well.

"I just can't believe what they're saying about my love... No, there's just no way she is cheating on me... She promised me to love me forever, to be always there for me, to never leave me... WhAt if I'M n0t enOUgh for h£R... No, no, no... I have to trust her... I have too... She loves me, I love her... Sh€ 0n1y lOve$ m£...", Yuri thought, now trying to be more reasonable about the rumours she heard about Natsuki and suddenly her train of thought was stop.

"Earth to sorry planet!", Natsuki said now looking at Yuri. "E-Eh? Ah, sorry dear, I was spacing out a little", Yuri said smiling to Natsuki. "Geez, you and your travels to outer space", Natsuki said rolling her eyes, planting a quick kiss on her girlfriends jaw. "Love, c-can I talk to you about something?", Yuri suddenly asked. "Sure thing babe, what's up?", Natsuki turned around a little, still on Yuri's arms. "I-I...", Yuri said nervous.

"Monika! Are you here? Oh there you are, comes with me, the principal wants to see you, immediately", a woman in her early 40s said from the classroom door, startling Yuri and Natsuki, making them stop cuddling at the speed of light.

"Miss Hanafusa? Ah, yes, I'm coming!", Monika said picking up her bag. "Yuri, Natsuki, there's only 20 minutes left and I don't know how long I'd take, so you're free to leave, see you tomorrow!", Monika said waving a hand at the couple as she joined Miss Hanafusa.

"Yuri", Natsuki said now on her feet, holding her lovers hand. "Yes, my love?", Yuri asked, gently squeezing Natsuki's hand. "Call me crazy but I have a bad feeling about this", the pink one said. "We are both crazy then...", The taller girl responded.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"It's okay Sayori, we can still see each other outside school", Ryona said holding the red bow girl, both sitting on a bench in the nearby park where they stopped on their way home. "But I'm gonna miss seeing you everyday at school, read together in the club, eat out lunch in the roof, walking home together...", Sayori said sobbing quietly, with her face buried on Ryona's chest. "I'll tell you what, you can text me whenever you want, I'd be replying any time, also I'll do everything in my power to come over to your house more often, after school if you want", Ryona said running her fingers through Sayori's strawberry blond hair. "You promise?", Sayori said looking at her with sad, puffy puppy eyes. "I promise, I give you my word as a woman!", Ryona said giving her girlfriend her best smile and touching her forehead with hers. "I love you, my teddy Ry", Sayori said rubbing the tip of her nose against Ryona's. "I'm no bear you know", Ryona said giggling. "Yes you are! Muack!", Sayori said giving her a loud kiss on her lips, now recovering some of her happy mood.

"I almost forgot to ask, but, why were those jerks doing that to you?", Ryona asked now as they walked home hand in hand. "I honestly don't know... They just got mean all of sudden, I thought they were my friends...", Sayori said looking down at the ground and Ryona squeezed her hand reassuringly. "I think Yoshio said something weird though", Sayori added as the memory came back to her. "And what was it?", The blue haired girl asked. "He said something about him watching boys dressed up as girls... Now that I remember, he once told me he liked that, but told me to keep it a secret, he didn't want others to mess with him for that", Sayori recalled. "So he revealed his own secret outloud? That doesn't make much sense", the tough girl said. "I guess...", Sayori said.

"You'll be there for me always right?", Sayori asked suddenly now getting closer to her house. "Of course, you're my everything", Ryona said blushing lightly. Sayori then stopped briefly to kiss her lovers cheek, making Ryona blush madly.

The moment Monika entered through the principal's office door and the bald man started talking, she knew what was coming to her. Monika deeply regretted some of her past actions.

"Monika, I'm very surprised, but as I am surprised I'm disappointed", the principal said. "Why do you say that, sir?", Monika asked playing along. "Do you recognize this?", the principal said showing Monika a little plastic card. "That is my student ID, sir", Monika replied firmly. "I'm glad you recognize it. Now, this card was brought to me an anonymous student during lunch, they left an envelope in my office that contained this card and a letter. Allow me to read to you what it says", the principal said taking a paper sheet from among the many he had on his desk.

"Principal, I found this card near where the incident with your car occurred later the same day. I wasn't sure what to do but I finally chose to do what I believe is right and give it to you, perhaps it would shred some light on who caused such vandalizing acts in our school. I fear for the safety of all us, but you know how society is sometimes, even if you do what's right people can blame you of other things, specially since the student involved is a very influent person between us students, so I chose not to reveal my identity. Of course I'm not saying she's guilty for sure but I certainly find it strange this was there. That is all, thank you for understanding", the principal finished reading the letter. "Alright, so would you care to tell me where were you when the incident happened? Because I checked with your teachers and you skipped class around that hour", the bald man said with a serious face.

Monika knew she had been cornered, despite all she could say, there was no way she could prove what she was doing that day. "I-I had to go somewhere for a personal emergency", Monika tried. "Oh, how very convenient, and would you care to show me proof of that?", The principal said starting to get upset. "I don't have proof, sir", Monika said. "Well, you know the rules, if you skip class you have to have a good reason accompanied by legitimate proof of that. I'll cut to the chase. Did you do it?", the principal asked serious. "No, sir", Monika replied honestly knowing it would be futile. "Well, until we make sure of that, you're indefinitely suspended. We will try to be quick on investigating the matter and if you happen to be innocent, you can come back immediately", the principal finally said.

Monika knew she couldn't fight back as of now. She had fell into the trap of this mysterious person.

March 3rd 2018

It is all going smoothly.

You're too careless Monika. Too naive.

Now that I have set up everything, the next stage of my plan can be done.

Everything will be broken soon. And who will be the hero that can fix it all and help those poor girls?

Someone whose name starts with M and last name with C. Funny pun though.

Monika, you will be out of our lives soon.
