Apparently the Gal who Bullies me Likes me

Chapter 4

Misunderstanding

After class as usual I'm heading to the gymnasium.

It seems that I am the first one here today.

Today's PE class was harder than usual because it was soccer.

I am a little sleepy from the fatigue, so I lied down on a mat in the gym.

I'm going to sleep for a while until they arrive.

I closed my eyes and I immediately fell asleep.

"Seriously..."

"So gross"

I was woken up by the voices who are getting louder and louder.

It seems that the group of five gals, including Tachibana was already at the gym.

They were all gathering around in the middle of the gym looking at something.

"Is this yours?" Umezawa the leader of the gal group said.

I looked at what Umezawa were holding in her hands.

What she was holding was my paintings and drawings that I was going to submit to the art club I belong to.
​
Although I'm a ghost member of the club because of these guys, I was thinking of at least painting a picture and submit it to the club.

This is the worse as I didn't want them to find those out.

"Yeah, but..."

"Eh~ Seriously, this is hilarious"

I heard a voice which is making fun of me.

"Are you the one who made this? You're just wasting your time, so just stop"

Umezawa throws the painting on the floor and stomps on it.

"A ha ha ha" the sound of their laughter echoes throughout the room.

The others around her are laughing with her.

All I can do is just stare at them while they are stomping on my drawings.

The paintings that I had spent so much time doing is being crumpled up by their stomping.

"And this painting, this is Kyoko, right?"

Umezawa took out a painting from my bag.

She has long black hair, slit eyes, and has an earrings on her ears.

It is a portrait of a woman using Tachibana as a motif.

"No, you're wrong"

I lied as quickly as I could.

Umezawa then smirked at me as if she could see right through me.

"Hey Kyoko, tear up this painting."

Umezawa then handed the painting to Tachibana.

Tachibana took the painting then looks at me.

For some reason she looks sad.

Umezawa is urging her and said "Kyoko, what are you doing, hurry up!"

Tachiba then puts her hand on the painting and then.

*Biri biri biri biri*

The painting that was torn into two pieces fell on the floor.

Tachibana's tearing the painting and it falling to the floor all seemed to be in slow motion.

I felt my heart grew cold towards her.

She had been so kind to me recently that I had forgotten that Tachibana was one of the people who bullies me.

I felt that she was kind to me and that she liked me but now I realized that it was all a misunderstanding.

I felt my feelings for Tachibana drops dramatically as I completely closed my heart for her.

Umezawa picked up the painting that fell on the floor and tore it into smaller pieces.

"A-hahaha! What the hell are you planning on doing on this horrible painting?"

People around me are laughing at me.

How come there are people that are so evil?

I couldn't believe that a human can be like that.

"You guys are crazy." Those words came out of my mouth naturally.

"......Huuuuuuh?"

Umezawa's sharp eyes are directed towards  me.

Unable to stand still, I grabbed my bag and ran out of the gym.

I wanted to get away from this strange place immediately.
