The short red hair caught his eye. He kept walking, getting glimpses of the girl when talking to Sōma. Once they got onto school grounds he was greeted by the teachers walking in at the same time. Sōma and Haku split up going to their different classrooms. Haku sat in his seat which was one row away from the windows that showed the track and field but four seats to the back.
As he got out his homework he could hear people talking about the Shiko no on'na when he got a tap on the back of his shoulder. He turned around still sitting in his seat only to see the red hair girl asking him, "Hey, you're Haku Ookami, right?" Haku didn't say anything, he just stared at her. "Hello?" She waved her hand in front of his face. She then proceeded to sit down in the seat behind him. "What an idiot." She said under her breath.
Haku eventually snapped out of it. "Sorry, did you need something?" He asked embarrassingly.
"Are you Haku Ookami?" She asked as she grabbed her homework.
"Yes, why do you ask?"
"Well... how do I put this?" She put her elbows on her desk and put her finger to her lips. "Your '"Girlfriend" has been putting these in my locker." She handed Haku a letter. "And I don't like that she is wasting paper for phony threats."
"How do you know that she is talking about me? She doesn't even mention my name." Haku said as he read the threat.
"I just do. Anyway, tell her to stop wasting paper for stupid threats. She killing trees."
"Wait... What's your name?"
"Mamoru Moriko. I've been in the same class as you for 11 years." She sounded like she was offended.
"Sorry, I wanted to make sure, that's all. And I will talk to Tomomi for you." He said.
"Thanks."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It was lunchtime. Haku walked up to Tomomi and Niko.
"Hey, look your crush is walking toward you," Niko said Tomomi's head flipped and saw Haku walking toward her.
Haku stopped 3ft from Tomomi. "Hey, you need to stop." He held up the note given to Mamoru. Tomomi flinched. "You are lucky, I don't send this to a teacher. It is very rude to give another student a death threat. Also, stop wasting paper."
"HOW DO YOU KNOW ABOUT THAT?" Tomomi screamed.
"She came up to me knowing that I know you." Haku started to walk away when he stopped and said: "Oh, and by the way, I am not your boyfriend." Haku then continued to walk away.
"OOoooooo, that's gotta hurt," Niko said.
"Shut up. That girl is so lucky that she is already being bombarded with questions about if she is the Shiko no on'na." Tomomi said infuriated.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"It's has been done," Haku said walking back to his class and talking to Mamoru. But when he looked into the classroom, he saw rows and rows of flowers on the wall.
But once he blinked it was gone and Mamoru talking. "Thanks, I owe you one." She said.
Haku walked to his seat and opened his literature book, Things Fall Apart, When the classroom door slammed open. "HAKU!" Haku's head jerked to the door to see Sōma standing there with his fist clenched tight. "YOU IDIOT! YOU MADE TOMOMI CRY!"
Haku stayed calm, "I didn't me-"
"It's my fault," Mamoru said interrupting Haku. "I asked him to talk to her for me because she... sent me a death threat." Haku looked behind him to see Mamoru standing up speaking to Sōma. By the time he looked back at Sōma, Sōma was walking towards Mamoru.
"Sōma, don't," He said knowing what Sōma was going to do.
"It's okay, I deserve it," Mamoru said calmly.
Sōma got into Mamoru's face. "You asked Haku to talk for you!?" Mamoru nodded. "YOU COWARD!!" Sōma pushed Mamoru on the shoulders making her fall on the ground, her head nearly missed her desk. "You deserve those threats in the first place. All you ever do is think about yourself. You have to be the center of attention. Everything revolves around you. Let this be a warning to you, next time you make somebody cry, my fist will meet the stupid brain of yours and you won't see another day." The whole time Sōma was threatening Mamoru, she just sat there listening to him rant.
"Are you done?" Haku asked.
"Yes."
"Don't bother coming back to the dorm," Haku said with anger in his voice. Haku walked up to Mamoru and held his hand out to help her get on her feet, but she didn't want his help and ran away.
"You are on her side!?"
Haku didn't answer. He walked away from Sōma and halfway on his way out of the classroom he said, "You idiot, you sent them too. You bullied her. I think where done being friends." At that moment Sōma's face went pale. Haku left the classroom to go find where Mamoru went.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
School finished. Haku ended up finding Mamoru, 5 minutes before lunch in the classroom.
Haku walked to his dorm, only to see Mamoru enter the Pic Tic forest. Haku became curious and took a peek into the forest only to see trees and no Mamoru. Haku thought it was his imagination and he started to think about what he said to Sōma.
