Akira’s POV

Yamada-kun entered the classroom and started putting pictures on the board. Pictures of Freya-san.

Putting mud and trash in Koharu-chan’s locker.

Pushing a flower pot off the 5^th floor.

Destroying Koharu-chan’s chair.

Painting the classroom’s wall.

And the worst, slapping Koharu-chan.

There’s also a picture of him with Asuna-chan. ( I just ignored this one. )

I covered my mouth with my hand.

All this time, Freya-san is lying to us. And all this time, I believed her.

Now I don’t know if I can call myself her friend.

I’m such an idiot.

How can I do this to her.

Koharu-chan, I’m sorry. I’m really sorry.

Yamada’s POV

All this time I wasn’t around, I was busy with different extracurriculars. Chess, Quiz Bees and School Paper. And as a photojournalist, I

always bring my dslr camera with me.

And I can’t fit my entire schedule during school hours and after class so my Chess Coach told me that we’re going to train during

mornings.

I still bring my dslr with me because during breaks, I take pictures of the school.

I was on my way to the Faculty room to start training for upcoming chess competition. I passed the lockers and I saw Freya-chan.

Putting trash and what is that? Mud? In someone’s locker. I took pictures of her.It can serve as evidences or it can be of future use.

When I received the news that she transferred, I know that Koharu-chan is in trouble. Freya-chan is a big bully. I know her. She’s my

classmate during middle school. She’s Yabu-san’s ex. And Koharu-chan being Yabu-kun’s present, it all makes sense. Koharu-chan is

in real trouble.

After finishing what she’s doing, Freya-chan went away leaving no trace behind her crime. And as I pass the lockers, I confirmed that

it’s Koharu-chan’s.

Many days passed and Freya-chan continues making Koharu-chan’s life miserable. And I took pictures of her. I really wanted to show

the class the pictures I took but I was really busy. I don’t have time to even catch up to the lessons because my coaches told me to

focus on the coming competitions.

I went to the Journalism room. I told Karin-chan (from another section) to go to school early today because I need her to help me edit

my work with the grammar and everything. I went in but she’s not yet there. I just started reviewing for the quiz bee. I was half way of

the first page when she arrived. She’s breathing heavily.

“Yamada-kun” she said.

“Why are you panting? Are you in a hurry?” I asked her.

“I saw Freya-san slap Koharu-chan.” She said.

“Nani?!” I asked.

“I thought you should know this because I know what Koharu-chan’s going through. But I don’t believe in all those rumors. And, and, “

she said continuously.

“Okay, relax.” I told her.

I went to Yabu-kun’s house and gave his dinner.

And I arrived there, seeing him so depressed.

“Douano?” I asked him.

“Koharu-chan,” he said.

“She slapped Freya-san.”

I’m not shocked of what I heard. Knowing Freya-chan. She’s really like that. She’s wicked.

“Listen to this.” I told Yabu-kun.

“You have to believe Koharu-chan. She tells the truth and you should be the very first one to believe her.” I said

“Demo,” he said

“Don’t make one of the biggest mistakes of your life.” I said then left without another word.

I hope my words got through him.

Another 3 days passed and I’m still really busy.

I hate myself for not being able to help Koharu-chan.

And now, I really need to help her. No one believes her in class except for the other transfer student.

And I think, that student likes her. And there’s no reason for Koharu-chan not to like him back. With the fact that he’s the one in

Koharu-chan’s side during this hard times.

I told my coaches that I need a day alone to organize my thoughts. I’ve been really tired of every day training and reviews.

And now, I’m coming Koharu-chan.

+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_

At the classroom,

I started posting the pictures I took on the board without greeting anybody.

I hate them. We all knew Koharu-chan for more than a year and they believed Freya-chan instead of her. I can’t believe them.

I also excused Karin-chan to her professors because she have a big role to play in here. I told her to delay Freya-chan a little so

Freya-chan will be surprised when she enters the room. I told Karin-chan to tell Freya-chan  that she’s being called by the dean and

she need to wait for the dean to arrive because it’s very important. I told her to wait for my text and when she receive it, she have to go

directly to the classroom.

Koharu-chan is a little late too. That’s good. I have a lot of time to prepare.

I looked at Asuna-chan and she’s ready too. Yes, she’s part of the plan.

She pointed our picture in the board.

“What’s this?” she asked.

“Evidence.” I told her.

“Tssss. Is that really needed?” she asked.

“Kawaii.” I whispered to her then went to my seat.

And now, all I have to do is wait for Koharu-chan and all of these is going to be fixed.

After a few minutes, she arrived. I immediately texted Karin-chan.

“Ohayou.” I told her.

“Ohayou.” She replied teary-eyed. Maybe she didn’t expect that I would greet her.

I pointed the board and she looked at it.

I saw a smile form in her lips.

And that smile faded when Freya-chan arrived.
