One day ago… Thursday, "Namati, Namati~ hehehehehehe…" Aita repeated like he's possessed
Meanwhile Kayo was in the hallway, "lalalalala…" but when she arrived, she heard the confession of her classmates
She hid outside,
"W- why does he keep saying Nak Mati? Could it be… He's depressed that much?! Oh no… If nothing is done… The worst he can do is take his own life… DON'T KILL YOURSELF AITA!"
…Atleast that's what in Kayo's mind, she peeked in the window watching closely the possessed Kirta.
Author note: turn out Namati sound like Nak mati which mean want to die in malays
Suddenly someone tapped Kayo's back,
Kayo shouted "FUWAAAAAAA" in surprise - it was Sakura's doing,
"KAYO, WHAT WAS THAT HAHA… I NEVER KNEW SOMEONE WILL SHOUT FUWAAAA WHEN THEY'RE SURPRISE HAHA…"
Sakura mimics Kayo's FUWAA and laughs,
"SHUT UP!!!" Kayo said, her cheek is blushing.
Sakura noticed the worry on Kayo's face,
"Eeh, what are you up to?" Sakura said,
"Uhm, about that…" Kayo looked away.
Sakura got too curious that she peeked in the window,
She saw Aita inside, and misunderstood the situation.
Sakura held Kayo's shoulder and said "Kayo, if you love someone, it is really bad to stalk your lover, instead please confess as soon as possible, or else he might think you're a creep…" Sakura said
"Sakura…" Said Kayo
"LIKE HELL I WILL HAVE CRUSH ON ANYONE!!!" Kayo yelled and Sakura looked down, "Oh, right haha…"
5 minutes later… The bell rang, and the girl group gathered. Kayo, Sakura and Ame.
"Ahem… So, there's something very important that we have to discuss…" Kayo said in a serious tone,
"Uh wait Kayo! I wonder if we actually forgot someone?" Said Sakura with an unsure tone,
"Huh? What do you mean, isn't there… four of us- Oh nevermind, it's just the three of us?" Kayo said,
"Maybe that's just our imagination, friend" Kayo continued,
"Huh? That makes sense!" Sakura nodded.
"Imagination…" someone whispered in their back,
"You guys…" That's Koko… Kayo tilted her head,
"Huh? Who?" She said,
"Neither I recognize…" Sakura continued while Ame is still busy playing games on her game console.
"YOU GUYS!!! DON'T PLAY A GAME WITH ME!!! I T- THOUGHT WE'RE FRIEND…" Koko dropped a tear.
"A- Ah! Don't cry, we were just joking you know…" Kayo said while Sakura panicked.
"Okay!" Koko instantly became happy, no tears anymore,
"She's so simple…" Sakura thought
"Ahem! Back to our favorite topic!" Kayo said,
"It's not my favorite," Sakura said, "
Shut up," Kayo replied.
"Anyways, I must confess something… I think… Something is wrong with Aita!"
The room became silent
"Who's Aita?" Sakura asked,
"I never heard that weird name…" Koko said,
"Do you?" asked Sakura to Ame, but her screen became game over, Ame looked at Sakura with a frustrated face,
"S- Sorry :D" Sakura said.
"Huh?! You guys don't remember Aita? You know, the social anxiety guy who has no friends…" Kayo said,
"Oh, that really sounds like someone from our class," Sakura said,
"because he is…" Kayo replied…
Ame powers off her game console and speaks up, "So? What is wrong with Aita?" Ame said,
"I am glad you asked, but the thing is… I think… He's hella depressed" Kayo said with a somewhat playful tone
"WAIT- YOU CAN'T CONFIRM IT IF YOU DON'T HAVE ANY PROOF" Koko's tone shaked a lot,
"I swear… I heard him saying 'nak mati' inside the classroom when he was alone before the bell rang…" Kayo said,
"You serious?! That's why…" Sakura continued,
"That's clearly not Aita that I know…" Ame said,
"So, you DO know who Aita is?" Asked Sakura.
"N- No, of course not" Ame said
"But… You got the point, he's really innocent to do that… Uh let me think… He is a person who always goes alone… and never talks, not even makes a single friend… Kayo paused,
"Huh? That connect…" said Kayo
"What is it?" Koko said,
"Couldn't it be, he's too lonely, that it's unbearable for him?!" Kayo said with a terrified tone.
Ame hesitated, "You're probably right… I can't argue…." Ame said with a guilt in her tone
"B- But either way, we should find a way to save him from his depression…" said Kayo, determined,
"Oh! How about… The Counseling Room? That might make our work easier!" said Kayo
"I wish it was as easy as it is… But this school haven't open that kind of room since it is a new school…" said Sakura huffing,
"That really make our work difficult…" said Kayo
"Ah! We can ask the teacher! Let's go!" Kayo move without thinking,
"Wait-" Sakura followed her, same goes to Koko, Ame huffing before following them since she have nothing better to do
They asked all teachers they could find today, however, they always gave the same response.
"What the hell are you thinking? This is not something you can joke around, you better stop now, or else you will spread this lie!" The teacher yelled,
"WE'RE SORRY!!!" Kayo apologised.
They were in some local restaurant (Kedai mamak to be exact),
"That is probably the last teacher we could find today… Maybe it's not working…" Kayo huffing, gave up already.
"Why won't they believe us… We're not joking, and we're adults too…"
"We're a teen… But true…" Sakura sighed.
"Maybe… We should give up… I… I don't think we can do this puzzle game…" Koko said,
Kayo snapped "NO! If we let him be… He might take his own life…", Kayo said,
"Y- You're right!!" Koko said
Their nasi lemaks are sitting above the table… They are overthinking that they didn't even touch their plate for the past 10 minutes… While Ame already finished her plate, very clean, looking at them, she's annoyed
"Ugh you guys… Why do you care so much huh?" Ame asked,
"Why? If he takes his own life, we'll be the one who needs to pay for his death, right? Kayo said, while Koko and Sakura stared at Kayo with an unbelievable eye,
"I- I am right… Right? We're the only people who know about this, right?!" Kayo forced an awkward smile
Ame drank her water bottle, and then spoke up,
"There's nothing really we can do right?" Ame insisted like she doesn't support Aita at all
"There's really something wrong with you…" Kayo said, angrily,
"He got so lonely, and it made him depressed… Why did you said that?... Do you hate him?" Kayo said angrily,
"No that's not it…" Ame struggle
Koko suddenly stood up to calm them down, "Calm down! We're in public you know?!?!".
Kayo took a deep breath, "But I still can't forgive her for saying such a thing…" Kayo said
"Wait, he's lonely,so all we need to do is become his friend, and cure his loneliness right?" Sakura said
"That way… Maybe we can cure his depression!"
