NOVEL NEXT Chapter 4
● Chapter 4
● Pov: Akani
After the incident, the police took me to a police station to get a statement about what happened.
After an hour of questions about the incident, I was released and my family came to get me, they were so scared and worried about what had happened to me.
I didn't care much about it, I just wanted to know about the boy who saved me, if he was alive, if he was okay.
But they only said that he went to the hospital, I couldn't get any more information about it. They didn't even tell me which hospital he was in.
My mother wanted to take me to a psychologist, to see if I was traumatized by the incident, but I refused.
I didn't need one, I just wanted to find the boy who saved me and thank him in person.
Arriving home, tired of what had happened, I went straight up to my room, my mother said that if I needed anything, I could just call her.
Arriving in my room, I throw myself on the bed, tired of everything that had happened. I grab my cell phone and see a message from Souta.
[Didn't you go to school today, Akani?]
I had forgotten that we were going to school together. I just replied that I had gotten sick. He offered to visit me, but I refused.
I didn't want him to know what had happened. That could make him get much closer to me and it would be harder to end our "relationship".
Putting my cell phone aside, I start to think about "him", my hero, the person who saved me.
When he was protecting me from the attacker, I realized that he was also scared, but he still faced that man.
When I think about him, my heart races, I feel my face heat up and an electricity runs through my body.
I'm sure that I love him. For the first time, I've fallen in love with someone.
So good, it's such an incredible feeling, my whole body is burning with excitement, I can't stop thinking about him.
I want so much to meet him again, my hero, my prince on the white horse.
————————————————
After almost a week and a half of going to school accompanied by my mother, who wouldn't let me go to school alone for fear of another incident happening.
I can finally go to school alone, but the reason I insisted so much on going to school alone is that I want to go to the hospitals that are close to the scene of the incident.
Why didn't I look for him before? I tried, but my family didn't want me to leave without one of them accompanying me and since they were busy with their work I couldn't look for him.
I want so much to see him again, to get to know him better, to become his friend or even better, his girlfriend, I also want to thank him personally for everything he has done for me.
Souta said he was going to accompany a friend to school starting today, so he won't be able to go to school with me, which is fine with me.
I don't want to see him too much, otherwise it will be harder to end this fake relationship.
*Sigh
I start to hurry to school so I won't be late.

I arrived just in time for the alarm to ring, I arrive at the door of my classroom, I open the door and go in.
"Good morning Akani."
"Good morning everyone."
A few of my friends greeted me, I return the greeting and sit in my seat.
Then the classroom door opens and the teacher, who looked to be 43 years old, enters the classroom, everyone in the classroom, including me, stands up and greets him.
Then the class starts.

When morning classes ended and the lunch alarm rang, I got up to buy a drink for my lunch.
I was going to eat with my friends in the living room but I had forgotten to buy something to go with the meal and was going to look for a drink machine.
“I think there’s a drink machine on the first floor.”
So I left the room and went towards the stairs to go to the first floor, but something made me stop before reaching the stairs.
“And him.”
A person whose face I could never forget, the person who saved me, my hero.
I found him again, it’s the best thing, we studied at the same school.
I was so happy, I’ll be able to see him every day, I’ll be able to talk to him every day, I’ll… I’ll…
I start to walk towards him, but I stop suddenly. By his side is the person I want to avoid the most, the person I've been planning to stay away from since the beginning of my school life.
Onora Souta... my boyfriend.
I wonder if Souta is his brother or his friend? But Souta never said he had a brother, just a little sister.
As I try to figure out what they are to each other, I realize they're heading to the cafeteria.
"I can buy something to drink later, that's more important right now."
I end up forgetting about the drink and start following them from afar.
