Chapter 9 - Chapter 1.2: The Beginning of a Case.

The bell for the break rang just as I entered class. 

Lucky me.

On entering class I saw everyone in a frenzy. They were talking to Miyamura and his friend who I eventually heard to be—Inoue Akira.

My classmates scolded them and the other boys from the cafeteria. 

They scolded them for dealing with Class Beta.

"Why did you guys get involved?"

"T-They cut the line," one of the boys voiced.

I was in my seat as class was soon starting though they were arguing so loud that I could hear them.

"W-We're sorry, okay?" Inoue voiced.

"Sorry isn't going to cut it. Where's Ito anyway?" one of the girls that followed Ito during lunch said.

Aren't they overdoing it? Though that's just my opinion. I mean they made a mistake but–

"What are you thinking about?" Suzuki broke my reverie.

"Oh, nothing."

"Then why'd you look all serious?"

"It's just the situation."

"Oh right, but like where's Ito?"

"You guys really trust Ito, huh?"

I know settling for this low-level probing is deplorable, but this information might be important.

 "Why wouldn't we I mean he's—"

Ito entered the class, cutting Suzuki off mid-sentence.

"Ito, where have you been?" a student asked.

"…"

"Ito, what's going on?"

"…"

"…Ito…?"

"…Guys, we're in trouble."

His words stabbed through the room, a knife to my heart. I was just as surprised as the rest—though I couldn't, no, I wouldn't show it.

However, there was a storm brewing.

Author's Note:

Short one, right? Yeah, I don't know what I was thinking when I wrote such a chapter.

Anyway, since nothing basically happened, I have nothing to say so…Well, at least I can ramble on.

So uh I need comments and reviews, also please share. Anyway, on Friday night I asked my mom to please tell her friend's kids to read my book.

I also gotta tell my friends too–It's so boring to not have to answer any comments.

I'll even take a comment about me being a copy cat, it's like–

That's enough of that, thanks for reading the chapter and see you in the next one.
