Prison School: No More Prison

Kiyoshi's POV:

"And that's what I told her…"

"I see… So we're going to need a plan to save the summer trip then…"

"T-Troubled times…"

"Gakuto, don't you have any plans or ideas? *cough*"

As soon as I came back to our bedroom, I told the guys about the festival and what we talked about with the councils. It didn't take much for the guys to understand how important it was to make this work… Our happiness depends on it.

If I knew someone who had a surprisingly amazing brain for making plans, it was Gakuto. He's ideas may be weird as hell, but they've never failed to work.

"Hehe, Indeed, Joe-dono…" The strategist adjusted his glasses while smiling "Yours truly has already planned some ideas to make this work"

"A-Amazing, Gakuto! You planned something in minutes?"

"Yes… B-But… I have to now something, Kiyoshi-dono" 

Gakuto turned to me with a strange expression. He seemed worried about what he was about to ask… Now I'm the one who's worried…

"Y-Yes?"

"Do we have the council's permission to do anything we want? Will they really help us achieve what we need?"

This question was… strange. 

Gakuto seemed worried about something, but it was strange for him to worry before having answers…

"I-I mean… As long as it's not something crazy or impossible… I guess…"

His face seemed relieved yet a bit worried nonetheless. He smiled at me and grabbed a notebook near us. 

"Let's see… We have around 7 days to plan this event, to help as many clubs finish their preparations and to raise the money, Am I right?"

Joe, Shingo and I nodded.

 I should note that Andre hasn't arrived yet to the bedroom. He's probably spending time with Risa again… Lucky bastard…

"Then… Yours truly came up with a solution… But let me tell you, this pl-"

"S-Sorry! I'm late!"

Andre entered the room covered in sweat, probably from running… O-Or was it that he was… T-This bastard…

I could look at the others' reactions as well, it wasn't that different from mine.

"What's the matter? I came as fast as I could as soon as I heard there was a big problem"

Shingo came close to me and whispered

"Hey… do you think this traitor still cares about the WTC? Should we even tell him the plan?"

"There's only one way to find out"

I stood up and got closer to Andre, who had a slightly surprised face.

"Andre… If you had to tell me right now what's the most important thing in this school…What would you answer?" I said with a straight face.

Andre looked a bit confused, I looked back and the other's were as serious as me. Then, Andre's face changed, he had a slight smile on his face.

"Don't make me laugh, guys" His face became a bit arrogant, yet he looked happy about my question "I know what y'all are thinking… But no, even if I'm dating Risa, there's one thing even bigger than our relationship…"

Our faces showed how surprised we were.

"A-Andre-dono… that would be…?"

"The Wet T-shirt Contest, of course!" His face showed his determination, one I've only seen in the face of five prisoners who escaped for that same goal. "Even though now I only have eyes for Risa, it's obvious that my goal won't change!"

"A-Andre-dono!"

"Buddie!"

We all hugged him, I could see tears in Gakuto and Joe's eyes. We're so back.

"So now… Please tell me the plan"

[...]

"G-Gakuto… your plan is a bit…"

"Complicated *cough*"

It was, indeed, complicated.

"Let me guess this straight… you're saying that we need to improve the number of people that visit the school, the amount of stuff we do in it and… we'll have to do some really shameless stuff in front of different parents and guests, right?"

"It's the only way to raise enough money…"

Gakuto's plan had some parts that made sense: For example he wanted to allow ex-students of the academy to be able to access the school, as he deduced that not all parents will come due to only having a 7 day notice of this event's existence. He also wanted to have a big event in which most clubs that can't exactly sell stuff will participate to show their talents. For this one, we'll be selling tickets, at around 300 yen per ticket, so they also contribute to the fund for the summer trip.

That alone didn't sound bad…but…

"S-So… you're saying we'll be the main focus of the event?"

"Indeed! Yours truly thinks this is a great time to use both Andre's and I power to increase the number of tickets selling! Both of us didn't just become popular inside school, thanks to Mayumi-chan's live stream and the videos from the helicopter incident, we have become quite the stars!"

I see… It's true, I heard that both of them became quite popular during the incident, and Gakuto also appeared in Mayumi's last stream… D-Damn, I wish I had seen that nip slip… 

"B-But what about us? Girls actually hate us" Shingo said in a sad tone. He wasn't wrong. Even if my reputation was slowly fixing itself, nor Joe, Shingo or I were actually loved by the girls in school.

"Hehe… that's when the second part of my plans come in action: You'll help us with smaller yet important jobs, slowly fixing your reputation in school, that way we'll all win something by the end"

"And how do you plan to do that exactly?"

…

His face changed from an intellectual genius to an awkward loser in a matter of seconds.

"I-... I'm not sure" He seemed in doubt. "Yours truly thinks is almost impossible for you to gain your reputation easily before the event"

"I-I see…" Shingo seemed a bit worried about this. I noticed before he was probably the most worried one about everything that happened in the last event, but I didn't think he was this preoccupied.

"Shingo-kun, why don't you join the guard team?" Andre said. "I can talk to Risa-san about it, she'll gladly accept any help during the festival"

"Ah! That would be so damn cool!" Shingo seemed hyped up like a little child.

"What about me?" Asked Joe.

"Why don't you try helping the other clubs meanwhile? Have you joined one this far?"

Joe blushed a bit

"I-I have helped Cake-san in her cooking club but-"

"You should ask for some help! If you tell the people in the club that you are helping Cake-san, they will definitely allow you to join them!" I added. He looked a bit worried as well, and after what I heard last Saturday, he surely wants to be with Cake-san. 

"*cough* S-Sure, I'll ask her tomorrow"

"So that leaves you, Kiyoshi-dono" Gakuto looked a little more relaxed than before, but he seemed lost in thought.

"I-It's okay, I'll be busy enough with the council…"

"Mmm… Maybe you could help me directly, then"

"E-Eh? Help you with what?"

"The third part of the plan, that is! The main event!"

End of Kiyoshi's POV.

Hana's POV:

It's late at night. I just finished my club activities as well as my karate practice. 

Now that I'm the vice president, I have to go do some other stuff I didn't do before, like checking in stuff at the office and taking care of the paperwork left by Prez.

It's not that I don't like it, it's more like 'I wasn't expecting this change'...

Yeah… things have been changing a lot recently… 

Not even a week in since that … Yet I feel like so much stuff has happened and still, I feel like the karma hasn't hit me.

It's a matter of time I guess, eventually everything will fall down… Or so I thought… Yet again, nothing happened.

In any case… If it wasn't because of the summer trip, everything would be going better for me. I got promoted to vice-prez, I'm getting better at cheerleading and cooking, hell, I even ranked as the third best karate fighter in the school…

Then… Why? Why do I feel so… Empty? I have everything I could wish for in this high school… Maybe better grades but I'm not doing bad at all… Is it about Kiyoshi and Chiyo's relationship? I-... I don't really feel bad for them… I tried to be as empathic as I could but they shouldn't be together… May I just feel…

"Alone…"

"Who are you talking to?"

?!!!

As I accidentally thought out loud, Risa appeared behind me as I got into the office room.

"M-Me? Nothing, I was just… talking to myself"

"That's… Kinda lame" She said with a poker face… This bitch… "You're doing your job at this hour?"

"Yes, I've been busy lately, you don't work this late?"

"I try my best to finish my stuff as fast as possible"

"It's that so…"

"Yes…" She seemed to look through my paperwork… Damn, I've actually never talked to her while being alone huh?

"It seems I finally reached you" I said, I didn't want to sound egotistic or anything, but I wanted to take some pride in my position now.

"Heh" She chuckled. "Seems like it, but you are far from being like me…"

"Huh?" I got a bit angry at that remark. "I'm stronger, I'm faster, I even got better grades than you… Now we're even in the same position…"

"Don't be so dumb, Hana. I got something you'd wish for…"

"And what would that possibly be?" I said with a straight face.

It's not that I don't like her or anything, but we've been rivals since I met her. The only stuff she always had on me was her driving license, maybe her ability with weapons and her power as vice-president of the superior council…

"You know… I have a boyfriend now"

"...?!"

As a grin appeared in her face, mine went blank. 

"Y-Yeah, and I'm the incarnation of Buddah…"

"I've been dating Andre since last Saturday… We've been on dates even"

N-No… T-This can't be…

Even if she was dating a pig… That meant that she was dating someone… And that's one of the only things I couldn't beat her on…

"Ohh… I see you went silent, are you jealous maybe?"

Now she's teasing me? T-This whore…

"I don't want to be rude, but there are better animals to be with…"

"Huh?!" She looked a bit angry at my remark. "Who do you think you're calling an animal? That's my boyfriend… You're just jealous someone actually likes me that way"

…

"Yes. I am"

"E-Eh?"

S-Shit, w-why did I say that?

"N-Nothing, I was just thinking about-"

"S-Sorry… I shouldn't have said that… I got angry that you called Andre that way…"

"...N-No, I started it… I'm sorry…"

… 

The room went silent again and I didn't know what to say…

To be honest, I didn't know how I felt about Andre and her dating… I felt a bit… weird… Regardless of that, she beat me in something I couldn't see myself winning on…

"Is there um… someone you like?"

Risa asked me that question to my surprise.

"W-What? W-Why are you asking me that?"

"L-Listen I… I don't know… But just a week ago I felt like an unlovable person, I did whatever I could to be with the guy I wanted to and nothing worked… I had to deal with some stuff in order to be where I am now… T-That's why I'm asking you that…"

I couldn't believe she was opening with me like that… As I said, our relationship was more of rivals, but I never hated her or anything in particular.

"S-So… D-Do you like someone? Someone you can't really be with? Someone you feel able to do anything when you are together?" She said while blushing…

I could feel some blurry images appearing in my head.

This happens a lot frequently… My mind gets all fuzzy when things like "love" or "date" come to my head… Why is that? What am I saying?

"I-I… I'm…"

Oh shit.

*Blergh*

I puked my eyes out.

"H-Holy shit!"

Risa naturally seemed confused.

"S-So you do?"

"w-wat"

"T-The only reason I could think of you breaking down like that… It's because you like someone…"

"i d-don't"

She handed me a towel to clean my face.

Why did I even vomit like that…?

I feel empty again… Now physically

"L-Let's go to the bathroom…"

[...]

Risa helped me quickly clean the floor and gave me some water to clear my throat.

We both sat on the stairs of the third floor, just beside the female bedrooms.

"So… How you feeling now"

"...Better…"

"I see…"

"...So… Why Andre?"

"H-Huh?!" Risa seemed a bit confused at my question, I could see some blushing she wasn't accustomed to. "W-Well… I guess he's the first one ever to make me feel… Special"

"Special?"

"H-He made me feel like… I could be my true self with him… That I didn't really need to be someone I wasn't… and at the same time, I could be anyone else and he would still be with me…"

I blushed a bit at this…That's actually really romantic.

"D-Don't look at me like that! I'm new to this stuff…" She blushed even more than before… So this is what the feeling of love is like?

I don't think there's someone like that in my life…

"B-But… F-For what I've heard, love is different between people…" Risa was a bit worried… Maybe I looked a bit downed by what she said. "It's more like a 'you'll get it when you get it' type of shit"

"...I see"

"...So… Who is it?"

"H-Huh?"

"The person you like… Is it a girl? Maybe one of the boys?"

"I-I told you I don't like anybody!"

She looked at me with a doubting face. 

"Well… I guess I shouldn't push you… But if you ever need help with it… I-I'm here…"

"...T-Thanks I guess…"

"I-If we're going to work together… Let's try our best, right?"

That's what Kiyoshi said to me… He always appears in my head during the worst moments.

I walked Risa to her room, where Mitsuko was already sleeping, said my goodbyes and went to mine. 

On the way back, I looked through the windows in the hall. The night was a really pretty one. As the rains from last week dissipated, the sky has been clear. It reminded me of Tanabata…

----------------------------------------

Flashback:

07th of July, Saturday.

My breathing got harder the moment I sat on top of Kiyoshi.

As I took his pants off, the panties I gave him were shown to Chiyo-chan. I couldn't help but smile… I was right after all! Chiyo didn't believe me, but I knew he was wearing them! I was doing the same too after all.

"See? Just as I said"

As I looked at Chiyo, I saw her face covered in horror and anxiety.

"NOOOOO!!"

She screamed at the top of her lungs. 

My breathing got a bit faster with that scream, yet my smile didn't fade. I looked back at Kiyoshi, who was lying there looking like a dead body.

I won…

I saw him pee, I showed Chiyo his true nature… And most importantly, I proved my point.

Chiyo jumped back as the pee from Kiyoshi made a small puddle next to us. I just stood up and looked at her, with a big grin on my face.

I saw her cry as she looked away at the scene.

I glanced at Kiyoshi again. He passed out. Some tears ran down his face as well as the yellow substance I wanted to see come from him.

I walked towards Chiyo. She was crying harder than before. She must feel so bad about being that wrong, right?

"It's okay Chiyo-chan, there was no way you cou-"

"GET AWAY FROM ME"

Chiyo screamed as she walked away from me.

I understand… She must feel like shit. The first time I got peed by this asshole I felt the same way… Gladly Meiko-chan helped me get clean. I'll do the same for her.

"Please, Chiyo. I just wanted to-"

"I SAID- GET. AWAY."

Chiyo looked at me. For a quick second I saw her face, it was full of anger, sadness and desperation.

*SLAP*

Before I could even think, she slapped me with all her might. It was strong enough to bring me back to my senses.

"...C-...Chiyo-chan, I"

"N-NO!"

She simply screamed as she walked away from me, this time running while her sobbings got harder and harder.

I tried to run after her, but everytime I got closer she simply looked at me like I was some type of… monster.

…

Eventually, I stopped running… But she didn't…

I looked at her go, hearing her loud cries as she disappeared from sight.

I stood there looking at nothing… Until it started raining again…

I walked towards the barbecue again, where Kiyoshi was still sleeping.

I put on his briefs again and sat down next to him.

All I could do for the rest of the evening was watch the stars while the rain fell down on us.

…

I didn't know what I was expecting… Of course this was going to go badly. Yet I did it… It's not very me doing this type of stuff, isn't it?

The rain got stronger, as the water fully covered our bodies…

As I closed my eyes, I could only see water. Not from the rain, but from inside my eyes.

While crying… I thought of a line Kiyoshi would probably say during this situation…

"...At least this will wash out the pee…"

End of Flashback.

----------------------------------------

As I arrived to my room, I sat down on the edge of bed. 

I didn't feel like eating after puking. So I decided to just go to bed.

…

Risa did it. She started dating the boy he loved after confessing his feelings to him. She has the guts I don't think I'll ever have for that type of stuff… N-Not that I like someone but… I wouldn't be able to do so…

Yet… I feel a bit jealous, I guess. She looks so happy whenever she talks about him… It must feel good.

As I closed my eyes and started drifting away, a notification from my phone woke me up.

It was from Kiyoshi. The same boy who changed my life, for worse and some few times for the better.

'the boys and I have a plan to get a ton of money from the festival. I'll need ur help, can I count you in?'

He texted me out of nowhere in the middle of the night… did he expect me to answer?

…

Well… It's about the festival, I should answer him…

'What do you need me for exactly?'

'promise me u wont hit me if I tell u'

'That depends on what you tell me'

'(⁠ꏿ⁠﹏⁠ꏿ⁠;⁠)'

'Eww, what's that?'

'I thought u girls like emojis and stuff like that'

'You don't know ANYTHING about what girls like'

'oh come on its kinda cute, even for me'

'Guess you are just a kid after all'

'a really good one (⁠◍⁠•⁠ᴗ⁠•⁠◍⁠)'

I couldn't help but chuckle at it. He was a funny dumbass at least…

N-Now that I think about it… we've been texting a lot recently. I don't usually use my phone this much, my fathers taught me that I shouldn't really spend my time on stuff like this… yet… It's not that bad to talk to him…

N-No wait… That's not true… Back to the point…

'Then, what is it?'

'I prefer to tell u about it tomorrow'

'You already woke me up, so tell me now'

'I did? sorry, I didnt mean to' 'I'll be quick with it'

'Sure, just tell me'

'Would you be my princess?'

…

?!?!?!

H-Huh?

I felt my face turn red as I read that message.

To be continued…
