Later that Evening

Hashimoto was walking around the store picking up ingredients for meals for the next few days thinking. "Damn I’m exhausted it was a long day today. At least It was a little interesting." He thought back to the cute girl with a blushing face running away after his slightly rude comment. "I guess I should have just ignored it. But I couldn’t have her just wandering around the house like that with us there. Whatever it’s not like I was in the wrong anyways. Pink though, it’s surprising. She really is cute. I wonder if I’ll get to talk to her again?"

He felt his phone start to vibrate in his pocket. "Huh, Shimada Ren. When has she ever called me. How did she even get my number. That’s right she’s part of the class group chat. Why would she even call someone like me. She’s the most popular girl in school. What reason would she even have to call me. Damnit, I feel a headache coming on."

He sighed “Hello.”

“Hashimoto”

“This is him. Who’s this?”

“This is Shimada Ren.”

“What can I do for you Shimada. Did you call to ask me on a date?” He sarcastically replied.

“Like I would ever do that you bastard”

“Ok then. Don’t get so worked up. So, what’s up?”

“What did you do to Mio?” Shimada angrily replied.

“Mio?”

“Sakurai you idiot.”

“Woh, calm down. I didn’t do anything to her.”

“She said you sexually harassed her.”

Hashimoto put a hand on his head. “First of all. I don’t ever remember sexually harassing her. And if you are referring to the incident with her shirt. I couldn’t have her running around like that with two men in her house, could I?"

The narrative has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the infringement.

“Well, I guess not.”

“Exactly, what kind of man would I be if I let that happen?”

“….”

“How did you even know about that?”

“She called me.”

“Over something like that?”

“She’s worried that you’re going to spread rumors about her.”

“I wouldn’t do such a thing. I’m not that kind of person.”

“We’ll I’m not so sure about that.”

“What’s that supposed to mean?”

“I’ve heard the rumors about you. I heard you were a playboy at your last school and you had to move here because you kept getting into fights.”

“….”

“So is it true?”

“Well, its half true I guess.”

“Which part?”

“Listen I’m not going to get into my life story with someone I barely know, ok. Let’s, just say I’m not going to spread any rumors about Sakurai.”

“You better not got it.”

“Ok, Ok. I got it.”

“You know what I could do to you with just a few sentences right?”

“Don’t threaten me. Frankly my reputation is in the gutter as it is. You think I give a damn what a few more idiots think?”

“…”

“Listen I don’t care what you think of me. But, I’m not the type to spread rumors, ok.”

“…”

“If that’s it I’m hanging up.”

Shimada Ren was staring at her phone with an angry look on her face.

“I knew he wasn’t a good guy. How dare he speak to me that way.”

"I wonder if Ren was able to contact him. I hope she didn’t go too far." Sakurai sighed while looking down at her phone. Just then the screen lit up and an incoming call with the name Shimada Ren popped up.

“Ren how did it go?”

“He was just as bad as the rumors say.”

“Really, what happened? Is he going to spread rumors about me?”

“…. No. I mean he said he wasn’t going to spread any rumors.”

“Then what did he do?”

“He was rude to me the whole time.”

“That’s surprising. He’s always been nice to me when we spoke.”

“Listen Mio. Watch out for guys like him. They only want one thing.”

“… I will. You don’t have to worry about me. It’s not like I’ll ever talk to him again anyways.”

“Good.”
