Chapter 67

Lila is in the student room along with the group, about her talking to Minoru and Yuki catching her.
Phase A: Why did you talk to him like that? You made it look bad at front of them.
Lila: I just wanted him to join with us.
Phase A: Yeah, but we don’t want to make them feel forced in to join.
Lila: Well, Yuki was overprotective and starts yelling at me.
Rin: You shouldn’t put the word, loser in the invitation.
Phase A: Look Phase I, I will still let you be on the team, but next time, don’t make it seem forced.
Kaname: We started out as socially awkward when we moved here, and we gotta do our best to make new friends.
Lila: I know.
Later during gym class, Lila walks to Minoru.
Lila: Hey dude, can you forgive my response from yesterday? I know it’s wrong.
Minoru thinks on his mind that she’s a bad person.
Minoru: It’s just one time, so I will.
Lila: What about Yuki?
Minoru: The way she yelled at you, I think you would have to talk to her if you want her to forgive you.
Lila: All right. So are you thinking of joining?
Minoru: I got my stuffs to do, so I can’t.
Lila: It’s fine.
A while later, Yuki runs around the pole, and Lila came by.
Lila: Yuki! I want to talk to you.
Yuki: What do you want? (glares at her)
Lila: Uhh, sorry for what I said to Minoru. I apologized to him and he’s cool with it.
Yuki: Listen Lila. I know what your team is about. I don’t want you guys to take over the school.
Lila: We meant making the school happy. Where did you think that?
Yuki: I heard you guys talking at the roof after school that you guys were gonna use me.
Lila: We wanted you to help us. You know, getting our attention to the school.
Yuki: It sounded so suspicious!
Lila: It doesn’t. Why are you not accepting the fact that we are just awkward?
Yuki: I know you guys are faking it just to get them work with you guys on suspicious activities!
Lila: You’re wrong! I am not gonna do activities with you again!
Yuki: That’s fine! Just leave!
Lila runs away and Yuki continues running around the pool.
Yuki: I gotta tell Rin this.
Later, Yuki is at the front gate with Minoru and Leon.
Minoru: I think you made the right choice. I knew she was pretty mean anyway.
Yuki: They all are covering up their schemes and lie to everyone else. Rin believed them.
Leon: So what is she gonna say?
Yuki: I am not sure…
Rin comes and talks to Yuki.
Rin: What is wrong with you?! You yelled at Lila again?!
Yuki: She was just lying about helping the school, so I decide to speak to her about it.
Rin: She was disappointed that you are accusing her about this!
Yuki: Rin, they are lying to you about their goals. They actually want to take over the school and use anyone to join their team. Remember their chat at the roof?
Rin: They meant something else!
Minoru: She kinda look angry when she was trying to invite me yesterday.
Rin: She got caught and tried to apologized to you guys!
Minoru: She did.
Yuki: I denied because it’s for our best.
Rin: I can’t believe you don’t care that they are trying to help! They’re socially awkward.
Yuki: That’s their excuse and they made that up just to get everyone to feel sympathy for them, like you.
Rin: I don’t think you trust me! Guys, do you agree what she says?
Minoru: Umm…
Leon: I don’t really hear about them that much…
Rin: Whatever.
Retasu comes in.
Retasu: What happened?
Rin: Did Yuki tell you about Lila?
Retasu: Yes. At the locker room.
Yuki: I didn’t see you there, Rin.
Rin: Do you think the club that I’m in is insane?
Retasu: I just hear stories…
Rin: Retasu, which side are you on? Mines, or Yuki’s?!
Retasu looks at both of them in the moment of silence.
Few days later, Retasu is in the student council, meeting all the members of Team Phase.
Phase A: Retasu! We are glad you decided to join with us.
Retasu: Thanks for letting me. I will help you guys.
Phase U: Awesome! You both deserve better. You and Rin.
Rin: Yeah.
Retasu: So, what is the next activity for me?
Phase A: It’s not decided yet.
Lila: In a few days, you will get your task.
Phase A: Exactly.
Retasu: Well, thanks!
Later during class break, Yuki talks to Minoru about the club.
Yuki: So what Retasu had told me is she’s gonna work undercover inside the club.
Minoru: I can’t believe she made it look like she’s on Rin side.
Yuki: But now she will tell us everything! Just you and me. She’s curious about Rin.
Minoru: Yeah. I think she never wanted to make Rin feel bad since they’re childhood friends.
Yuki: Yeah, but I want her to do better and not lose our friendship with her, despite our disagreements.
Minoru: Let’s see what Retasu finds.
At night, Yuki and Minoru are on social media, talking to Retasu from group chat.
Retasu: So far, they say they want to help out the school and want to make more friends, just like what Rin has been saying.
Yuki: Did you find anything suspicious?
Retasu: Not at this moment. Although, Rin’s been telling me that you stopped supporting her recently.
Yuki: Because we know what the actual members are really are.
Minoru: Any activities coming up?
Retasu: We are getting our duties given next week. That’s it.
Minoru: Has she said anything to me? She was just yelling at the whole group, us.
Retasu: She didn’t have anything against you as far as I know. Yeah, she was yelling.
Yuki: All right. Just pretend you don’t like me, almost to Rin’s level. We must keep this conversations avoided at almost all times in school.
Retasu: You got it.
Minoru: So, have a good night.
The next day during lunch break, Rin is at the student room, and Minoru decides to come in to see what she’s doing.
Minoru: Hey Rin.
Rin: Get out of here!
Minoru: What? Why are you mad?
Rin: Because you are on Yuki’s side. I know, so leave me alone!
Minoru: But I’m more open about…
Rin: Get out! I don’t want you guys near me!
Minoru burst into tears.
Minoru: I’m your friend.
Rin looks at him with a surprise.
Rin: Minoru.
He runs away.
Yuki is walking in the hallway and sees Minoru crying.
Yuki: Minoru! What happened?
Minoru: Rin is not my friend anymore. She doesn’t want us anymore.
Yuki: Really? Even you.
Minoru: Yes. (snobs)
Yuki comforts him.
Yuki: I’m sorry for getting you into this. I gotta talk to her now.
Minoru: It might be a bad idea.
Yuki: I’m going for it.
Yuki heads to the student room and sees Rin.
Rin: What are you doing here?
Yuki: What did you say to Minoru!
Rin: I told you guys to leave me alone!
Yuki: Well, I’m sure he wants to know how you’re doing, as a friend.
Rin: You both aren’t. Even him.
Yuki: You never make him cry again! You know I hate that!
Rin: Well, I don’t want you around me!
Yuki: Don’t change the subject! You shouldn’t make him feel bad.
Rin: He is on your side, so.
Yuki grabs Rin’s shoulders.
Yuki: Don’t hurt his feelings again!
Rin: You’re such a bully! Let go of me!
She let go of her shoulders.
Yuki: Yell at me all you want, but don’t make him cry again.
She hears Minoru yelling help.
Lila comes in while grabbing Minoru.
Lila: This kid was right by our door!
Yuki: LET GO OF HIM!!
She runs and push her to the ground.
Lila: Ow.
Rin: Uhh!
Yuki: Minoru, you’re all right?
Minoru: She only just grabbed me here.
Yuki: Do not grab him or get any physical with him!
Lila: He was by our door anyway!
Yuki: If you hurt him, you will be by the hospital!
Minoru: Yuki.
Rin: Yuki, just get out of here!
Lila: Why are you even here?! You’re not part of our club.
Yuki: Ask your new member. She knows why.
Rin: Whatever!
A while later, Yuki and Minoru are having lunch in the rooftop with Leon and Oka. Minoru keeps crying.
Leon: Minoru, you’re all right?
Minoru: I can’t stop feeling this sad. (snobs) Rin never acted like this to us. I can’t ignore her changing herself. (snobs) She’s our long term friends, especially Yuki’s.
Yuki: Don’t worry about my friendship with her. I shouldn’t ran off like that, but I can’t let her do this to you. You did nothing wrong.
Minoru: And I am afraid of what they’re gonna do to me. Lila is watching on me. (snobs)
Yuki: I’ll make sure she will stay away from you. You’re shaking.
Minoru: It’s just a terrible moment. (snobs)
Yuki comforts him.
Leon: We warned her not to join.
Yuki: We don’t want to lose our close friends. Secretly, her best friend joined, working undercover. We only talk at nights just to be safe.
Oka: Has she give out any evidence from that club?
Yuki: Not yet.
Leon: So, should we leave you two for his comfort?
Minoru: I don’t mind. I need your guy’s comfort after all.
Yuki: Don’t worry about it.
Leon: I see.
Yuki: Let’s have some lunch, Minoru.
Minoru: Sure.
At night, Yuki, Minoru, and Retasu are having another voice chat.
Yuki: Are you find now, Minoru?
Minoru: Sort of. I can’t believe she turn down on me.
Retasu: She talked to me about it. Rin says that you support of what Yuki thinks, so she is just mad at you guys.
Minoru: Did she have no shame of doing this?
Retasu: Well, she said she shouldn’t have yelled because she forgot that Yuki is your protector.
Yuki: Does she think I’m a bully?
Retasu: Sort of, but she didn’t want to admit that she forgot because she tries to stay angry with you.
Yuki: Was she told to do this?
Retasu: It’s her own decision and thinks you guys don’t let her decide. She’s a bit closed minded recently.
Minoru: So what else happened in the club?
Retasu: Oh, we got the foods brought in for all of us and we talk. Rin and Kaname were doing ribbons for one room and me and Lila were doing stacks of sponges for the office supplies. By the way, they said that the foods were delivered by the principle. The foods we got aren’t in the menu for school’s lunch.
Yuki: Interesting. Does that mean the principle knows them longer? He just new to Fujiwara High.
Retasu: I don’t know. They did not say anything more about him.
Minoru: I know the rest of the clubs don’t get foods delivered.
Yuki: Most clubs brings in their foods, but from a principle, that is something.
Retasu: I haven’t think of any theories about the club yet.
Yuki: Let’s think one. They are all new here, and so is the principle. The main members of Team Phase ran their club at different schools for long. I know the Principle is not related to them.
Minoru: Do you got information about the school they went last year?
Retasu: No. Although, the club is more connected to the school because they are willing to help the entire school, or at least claim.
Yuki: But I heard of them trying to take control of the school once. If they have more access to the staffs, wouldn’t they have more likely have access to secret files and know about everything about us, or the entire school?
Minoru: This is like a spy situation. I think they are.
Retasu: I mean, they acted nice so far. However, I can do a bit more research and stay after school tomorrow to see if they store their papers on their cabinet. Yes, they have their own.
Yuki: I can give you the key for it. Actually, I have the kit for the cabinet.
Retasu: Ok, but give it to me where no one can see us.
Yuki: Want some disguise? There’s some in my acting classroom. They got wigs and clothes.
Retasu: Good. Just think of the plan and send it to me by early morning.
Yuki: You got it!

Next Chapter: Phase’s Suspicion.
Retasu attempts to take one of the club’s secret folders to know the imformation about them. Suddently, Team Phase somehow knows that one of the members took their files and wants to see if they or Yuki and her friends took it. They go as far as to be suspicious to anyone who is friends with Yuki, even her fans. How is their suspicion gonna be handled? Tune in next time!
