↳ IS THAT THE GRIM REAPER?? !

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

another school day, another reason to kill myself.

that reason being training with the rest of these twink blader friends of mine. i was laying down on the bench, basically sleeping as valt and daigo were battling, and holy shit, maration wasn't kidding when he said my freaky ghost seeing ability was gonna get stronger.

so much so to the point i'm straight up ignoring the two avatars of valtryek and doomscizor as they talk with one another, occasionally talking about me.

"can that kid really see us? she looks half asleep." doomscizor, who looked just as emo as his owner, asked the valtryek who shrugged.

"she always looks like that. she doesn't like us too much, so she always ignores me. kinda hurts to be honest..." he sulked, having some oddly black cloud around him.

SINCE WHEN DID THIS BLUE TWINK CARE ABOUT WHAT I THINK OF HIM??

ah, who cares, i'll just keep ignoring them till they go away and think that whole 'i can see them' thing was just them being crazy and delusional.

"alright! time for quake launch!" daigo exclaimed, as both beys in the stadium went for their attacks, but never once hit each other.

"their both attack types? so why aren't they attacking?" toko asked, as nika and honcho pondered the same thing.

"i wonder if their different speeds are messing with their trajectory..."

"wow honcho, look at you using your big brain." i snickered laying flat on my stomach on top of the bench, kicking my feet in the air CuTeLy🥱😍❓
"that's a first."

"SHUT UP Y/N-!!"

CLANK

he was cut off by the sound of doomscizor bursting into three at the hands of valtryek, leaving daigo having some cringe little mid life crisis, mumbling shit like, "my quake launch was useless... i'm gonna have to up my game..."

i shivered at the sudden overwhelming feeling of emo-ness.

man, i need to get some new friends☹️👎

"guess you're facing me now next! huh?" honcho challenged valt, cocky as ever.

"sure! you ready to lose to again?"

"as if!"

i groaned extra dramatic in utter boredom. pondering if i should stay here or go stalk daddy principle.

i got bored real fast, so i side eyed daigo, "ayo daigo, do you think lobsters are mermaids to scorpions?"

"y/n, shut the hell up."

"JEEZ- YOU ON YO MAN PERIOD OR SOMETHING?? GODDAMN CHILL EMO😒"

i sat up from the bench, literally about to fight this kid, before suddenly...

DADDY PRINCIPLE CAME WALKING OVER TO US ON THE ROOF?? AHHHH😍😍‼️

bro, the way i went STIFF. like, damn shawty i bet those wrinkly hands can do more then sign paperwork *puts hair behind ear SuDuCtIvElY
😏*

"exciting news just came in," he announced, as everyone immediately payed attention to him. "guess what came in the mail?"

"MY DAD SAID HE'S COMING BACK??"

"..."

"um, no..." he side eyed me, before awkwardly looking back over to the group. like damn okay it was just a question😒 even though that would be impossible unless he... you know, rose from the dead or something.

"invitations to the regional tournament."

i nearly choked on air at the reminder of that godforsaken thing. after that i'm gonna be forced to go to NaTiOnAlS or whatever the fuck that is. BRO I WORK TOO DAMN HARD FOR THIS WHY THE HELL DID I HAVE TO WIN THAT GOOFY ASS TOURNAMENT??

"YES!!" valt yelled, nearly shattering my ear drums. "xander and shu were talking about this back at the dojo!"

"it's like a second chance!" nika cheered, as i rolled off the bench to join the others. and by 'join the others' i mean get closer to daddy principle.

ITS A FREE COUNTRY STOP JUDGING MY OLD MAN FETISH. YA'LL ARE JUST HATERS FOR REAL🤬🖕

"i can't take the suspense!" honcho exclaimed, leaning in closer to daddy principle to see the letters. LIKE GET THE FUCK AWAY MANGA ASS HES MINE??🤨 "who got an invitation? who? who?!"

"well, let's see here," our hot- i mean our principle stated, looking through the letters. "the first one goes to-"

"ME!!" valt cut in, and i yanked him back by the back of his collar.

"BOY SIT YOUR GOOFY ASS DOWN-"

"daigo kurogami."

valt looked like he had been fucking shot at the fact it wasn't his name being called immediately.

"imagine."

"SHUT UP Y/N!!" he raged, and i snickered at how easy it is the get a couple of lunatics like these angry. it's my main entertainment, i swear.

daigo gave a look of shock, eyes wide, "congratulations!" the principle said, handing him his letter that had the WBBA logo on the back. "it looks like all your efforts have been recognized, you're going to the regionals!"

...guys is it bad that i low key wanna stab daigo for getting this much praise from the principle??

...

NAH ITS NOT WEIRD AT ALL🥰 i'm completely normal.

YOU'RE THE WEIRD ONES NOT ME🙄🫵

'the audience.'

'...the what-'

'nothing.'

'but-'

'I SAID NOTHING.'

"that's awsome daigo!" toko cheered, followed by nika. "good job!"

"meh, i could of done that🥱"

"can you shut up." daigo side glared me, as i looked away into the distance like the true main character i was. the wind blowing in my hair (even though it wasn't windy at all).

i cracked a small, bashful smile.

"no🥰😔😏🫵"

"..."

ERM, ANYWAY- moving on. "come on! let's move onto the next one!" valt demanded, grinning big as he put his hand out to except a letter.

"alright, alright," the principle said, scrolling through two more names. "hoji konda, and wakiya murasaki."

the way i SLAPPED a hand over my mouth to not laugh. "PFFT-"

"BE QUIET Y/N!! YOU ARE SUCH A JERK!!" valt raged, and before he could go full on furry mode on my ass toko cut in, walking over to the tall fence railing of the roof.

"if you're wondering where those two are, their doing laps around the track field."

i walked over to see an abomination of a child- i mean wakiya. oh, and hoji was there too, him being one of the few people i actually like.

"hmm," i heard the principle hum in thought, holding both wakiya's and hoji's invitations.

LIKE OH MY GOD JUST HURRY UP AND
FU-😫

"y/n, go take these letters to those two."

"..."

"what."

THE FUCK DID THIS CRACK ASS OLD MAN TELL ME TODO??

bro the absolute BETRAYAL in my heart right now. like, how could him, my one true love, ask me todo such a vial, disgusting thing as to come into AT LEAST ten feet of that low budget goldilocks??😰

"i want to get these to them as soon as possible, since its important." he handed me the letters as i was slowly decaying away.

"um," valt mumbled. "you okay y/n? why do you look like you're about to throw up?"

my eye twitched crazily at the fact i'm gonna have to hold back from absolutely MAULING that stupid little rich kid twink.

"probably cause i am." man i'm so done with this dumbass anime, but hey, whatever daddy principle wants😔 "alrighty then, later." i waved, beginning to walk away.

"don't try and break his foot again!"

"OKAY NOW YOU'RE ASKING TOO MUCH."

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ 🏹.

"AYO RAPUNZAL!!"

"what the- IS THAT A BRICK?!"

"um..." i immediately threw the chunk of concrete behind me. "no?"

wow, i'm so good at lying.

i walked up to him calmly, for some reason he seemed stiff and red, even for just going on a run. LIKE YOU DRAMATIC WHORE. SHUT UP.

hoji was wat back, slowly catching up. "anyway, i came here to give you this." i said, handing him a white envelope. he paused, and flushed bright red.

"hey! w-what is this?! who do you think you are?!"

"HUHH?? YOU FREAKING WILDEBEEST WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT-🤨"

he cut me off. bitch. "you should know very well i think of you as the least tolerable person i've ever met! d-do you really think i'd ever except something like that from you?" he folded his arms and looked away, seemingly embarrassed over something. "i would never be interested in the likes of you. especially like that!"

WHAT IS THIS CRACK POT ON ABOUT??😰

"BRO WHAT ARE YOU EVEN TALKING ABOUT-"

"b-but still!" he cut me off again, and i was this close to shoving the paper down his throat. "you're lucky i pity you so much that i actually will take your love letter!" and with that he snatched it from my hand.

"..."

did this mother fucker just say love letter?...😟

i SLAPPED a hand over my mouth so hard it echoed, "PFFT- HAHAHA!!" i wheezed, leaning down to repeatedly slap my knee, "HOLY SHIT WAKIYA!! I HAD NO IDEA YOU WERE THIS FUNNY!! HAHA-"

he stared at me like a stick man as i was laughing a little TOO hard.

"AHH JESUS CHRIST I CAN'T BREATHE-" i huffed out, wiping tears from my eyes.

his eye twitched crazily, his face the brightest shade of red i've ever seen. "w-what are you laughing at?! i should be the one making fun of you here!!"

on cue, hoji finally caught up to us, out of breath as he stood next to wakiya. "hey...y/n..." he huffed, and i gave a peace sign, finally recovering from my fit of laughter.

"yo." i gave hoji a pat on the shoulder cause i'll be damned if i'm gonna ever even DARE to touch wakiya and get whatever diseases he probably carries. "anywho, in that case, i'll see you at the regional tournament, congrats hoji!" i smiled, before side eyeing wakiya.

"oh. you're still there😐?"

"W-WHY YOU LITTLE-!"

"ANYWAY..." i cleared my throat, genuinely confused over why the hell wakiya is acting like this. nervous, i mean. "gotta go, see ya around." i waved, before skipping off to go stalk daddy principle in peace.

aww, i love to be a creep🥰

╰┈➤ meanwhile with wakiya and hoji...🥱👎

wakiya scoffed to himself, shaking his head in an attempt to rid himself of the growing red on his cheeks. "i can't believe that girl!" he started off, and with shaky hands he roughly began to open the envelope. "i mean, who does she think she is? and what was she going on about? regionals? those letters haven't come in ye-"

"..."

"oh hey, are those the regional tournament invitations?" hoji asked, grabbing one of the papers, "oh cool! we both got in."

"..."

"wakiya?"

"..."

"wakiy- woah, um... are you feeling okay?" hoji asked hesitantly at the way literal STEAM was coming off of wakiya. he was stammering, flushed, embarrassed, and humiliated.

GOD FUCKING DAMN IT!! HE THOUGHT IT WAS A FUCKING LOVE LETTER??

AND WHY THE HELL DOES IT KINDA PISS HIM OFF THAT IT WASN'T??

"son of a- CURSE YOU Y/N L/N!!"

╰┈➤ back with y/n...😍🫵

"goddann, daddy principle be looking fine as hell from this tree right no-"

"HEY Y/N!!"

"HAVAHABAJA- oh shit never mind it's just valt." i stopped myself from falling out of the really tall ass tree that gave me the perfect view of the principles office. i looked down to see that blue little midget friend of mine waving around hysterically. "watchu want? im kinda busy here."

"i need your help!" girl what. "come down so i can explain everything!"

"ERM...i don't know valt, it kinda took me a while to get up here, and to be honest i really have to do this right now-"

"we can go to my house after and you can see my mom."

"DEAL."

anyway, so i came down from there real quick. like, full on spider-man perfect landing, running up to valt, and who knows, my mouth may or may not have been watering but that's besides the point. but like i mean, who wouldn't be feral for valts mother??

"so what do you want-"

"honcho never got a letter."

"..."

"PFFT-"

"DON'T LAUGH!!" he raged, and i slapped my hand over my mouth and started coughing hysterically.

"wha? me? laugh? oh no valt i was just choking on... air." i quickly covered up like the super slick and sneaky individual i was.

"yeah, sure." he pouted, crossing his arms. "but i swear, i know honcho was invited! i saw his invitation floating around in the wind! we have to find it!"

"WHO THE HELL IS 'WE'??"

"you get to see my mom."

"oh yeah," i mumbled, before sighing. "the things i do for love. AND you blading twinks, i swear😒alright then, where should we start?"

"TWINKS??"

"I SAID WHERE SHOULD BE START!!" i raged, deciding to distract him from the fact i hate on all of them daily.

don't worry, i do it out if love. trust.

valt suddenly smiled wide, full of determination. "everywhere! trees, the track field, bushes, anything! come on y/n! we got this!"

i paused for a good second, and couldn't help but smile at what a good person valt was. lol couldn't be me. "you know what? you're right! we got this!"

we fucking failed.

like, BAD. two hours later, school is well past over. i'm tried, valts tired and looks like hes gonna cry, AND i'm hungry.

"valt, my guy, you're a real one for this, trust, but come on, the principle is gonna find us still in school and we're gonna be in trouble." or maybe i want him to find us HAHA😏 "we can try again later, okay?"

i pat his shoulder, making him look up at me with a frown. "but..."

"i didn't say we would give up, just that we should take a break. we can try again in a few hours, how about it?" i smiled encouragingly, even though i had absolutely zero faith in the universe taking any pity on us, and just giving us that letter back.

"...okay," he reluctantly agreed, and we both grabbed our backpacks that we left next to a tree in the school yard, making our way to the exit.

i noticed how down the kid looked, so i decided to change the subject. "so, how come you didn't ask daigo to help too? i'm sure you noticed how, um... busy i was earlier." i snickered at the thought, pulling a strand of hair behind my ear and debby ryan smirking.

he hummed, and looked up from the ground. "hm, that's... actually a good question. i don't know why i didn't ask the others for help too," he placed a hand on his chin, thinking. "to be honest, i think i just wanted it to be me and you."

"how come?"

"i'm not sure, i just wanted to be alone with you for some reason." he shrugged and turned my way, tilting his head in confusion at his own emotions. "i wanted to hang out with you, i guess. but i really didn't want anyone else there- agh! i have no clue why!!" he ruffled his own hair, frustrated with everything going on.

i side eyed this midget the whole time, thinking 'what the absolute ball sack is going on'.

"DAMNN, you tryna hold hands or som-"

"LOOK OUT!!"

"HAABHAHB WHATTHEFUC-"

i screeched as the fattest fucking truck known to man kind was slipping all over the road like a whore, and i didn't even realize how close valt was to that said road.

mother fucker almost got run over.

"YOU DIPSHIT!! MOVE-" i SNATCHED that little boy by his hood and yanked him over to me before he could get squished into a pancake. then i flipped off the truck driver and yelled at him to watch out.

"ARE YOU AN IDIOT??" i yelled, even though i'm just as bad as him but whatever. this kid was quaking in his boots, having his life just flash before his eyes. "oh my fucking go- GIMME YOUR HAND."

i snatched his hand and held it tight, beginning to drag him with me down the side walk. "I SWEAR TO THE LORD VALT WHAT WOULD YOU DO WITHOUT ME🥱??"

he didn't respond.

what the balls.

i glanced back to see him staring at me with big, wide brown eyes. he was quiet, before his face blew up in a cloud of literal STEAM. like, that's how red his face was as he stiffly looked down at our intertwined fingers.

MAN I SWEAR WHAT IS UP WITH THESE DUMBASS BLADERS GOING RED ALL THE TIME??

LIKE HOLY SHIT IT AIN'T THAT HOT OUTSIDE🤦‍♀️

freaking drama queens smh.

"i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i- um, i- uh...!!" he stammered as i stared at him genuinely TWEAKING the fuck out. "w-w-w-why are w-w-we holding hands?!"

DOES THIS KID HAVE TOURETTE SYNDROME?? WHY HE STUTTERING THAT BAD THOUGH😟...

"um, because we legit share the same braincell and if i don't you're gonna find another way to almost get yourself killed and i REFUSE to get this shirt covered in blood."

"..."

"now hurry your ass up."

"uh-! o-okay!! s-sorry!!"

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ 🏹.

"hi there mrs. aoi. it's so nice to see you again." i smiled, bowing politely and ignoring the way i was internally simping so hard. "i'm so sorry for showing up so suddenly."

"aww, it's no problem at all y/n. you're always welcome here. after all, you're one of valt's sweetest friends!" she cooed, smiling back at me.

meanwhile valt, toko, and nika all stared at me with there jaws DROPPED.

"what the fu-"

"TOKO!! LANGUAGE!!" nika scolded.

YEAH SO MAYBE I AM THAT FAKE AND ALL OF THIS IS JUST AN ACT TO GET MRS. AOI TO LIKE ME MORE...

WHAT OF IT😐??

you would do it too stop judging😒🖕

'SERIOUSLY WHO THE HELL ARE YOU TALKING TOO??!'

'FUCK OFF MARATION THIS CHAPTER HAS NOTHING TODO WITH YOU.'

'CHAPTER??'

i tuned him out of my thoughts, as valt and the rest of them led us to the kitchen table where a basket full of bey bread sat in the middle.

"eat up! there's plenty for all," mrs. aoi smiled, as
