A Small Loss

-BANG-

Suddenly we heard a loud noise coming from the other side.

< Now what happened…eh no, on second thought I don’t want to know….>

“Huh…”

“What’s going on?”

At Aoi’s question we jerked our head toward the source of noise. A lot of people were gathered at the entrance. It seemed that a fight had erupted. They were surrounding a boy and a girl. The girl was wearing a pink uniform. Clearly a waitress. Actually, she had accidently spilled a drink on the boy.

“I am so-sorry, sir!” the girl apologized, bowing deeply.

“You… what did you do?!” the boy shouted. He looked around 17 to 18 old. He looked extremely angry. From his attire he looked pretty rich. His hair was wet and there were stains on his shirt. He pulled the girl by her arm forcefully.

Yeah…forcefully. It was obvious because she was crying and desperately trying to free herself.

“I-I-I am sorry sir! Let me go, please!” the girl pleaded.

“Why would I? It was your fault so you should apologize?!” the boy shouted at the girl.

“b-but I did, s-sir!” she stuttered.

The boy grinned and pulled her forward.

“Heh! Not like this. I will forgive if you do what I say... you see this shirt is pretty expensive and you just ruined it.”

<w...what! He is definitely a spoiled brat.>

The girl shrank back in fear. Tears were dripping nonstop from her eyes. She was visibly terrified. The staff tried to stop the guy but to no avail.

-WHACK-

Suddenly something shocking happened. Sound of something hitting echoed. The boy was sent flying to the ground. There was silence for a while. Everyone present had the same question, what the hell happened!?

< Hmm….>

“Who!?” the boy clenched his abdomen. He raised his head to see who had the guts to attack him.

The one who kicked him was a girl, her blond hair tied in a ponytail. Her emerald eyes gleamed with anger. She was Maya.

< Huh? Maya?>

“*gasp* Maya? When did she..?” Aoi inquired.

I looked towards Aoi. She had similarly confused expression.

“YOU!? Why did you hit me!?” the boy shouted.

“Yeah...I punched you. Don’t you know how to treat a girl?” Maya said, annoyance visible in her voice.

“She made a mistake so she has to apologize!” the boy spitted.

“She apologized. Didn’t your parents teach you any manners?”

“It does not has anything to do with you! You bitch!?” the boy cursed.

< Ah…he is gone now…poor Guy.> I shuddered.

The temperature in room gradually became cold. Everyone sensed something was wrong. People who were taking videos quickly stopped what they were doing, Maya had an extremely dark look on her face. It was the look she had when she wanted to kill someone….I know because I am friend. Even Aoi and Yui were frozen, clearly aware of what was going to happen.

“…What did you say?

“I said shut up bitch!” the boy was clearly unaware of the danger.

“…apologize”

“What did you say you bitch?”

“I said apologize!” she started hitting him. And in a matter of seconds the boy lay battered to death. Fortunately he was still alive. Silence. There was silence. Seeing the scene everyone shivered.

‘MONSTER. She is a monster!’ everyone had the same thought. No...Actually I heard it...in my head.

“Humph. Now you will behave…” Maya huffed. Soon the guards came and took the guy away. The staff repeatedly thanked Maya. They were afraid but she helped them. The crowd dispersed and Maya came back to her seat.

“Sorry guys had to sort out the situation…tch what an annoying bastard.” Maya had an annoyed expression.

“We were worried Maya! Don’t do that again!” Aoi said, worried.

“….I nearly had a heart attack.” I sighed.

< Yeah…it was scary…>

“Alright.” Maya promised but Aoi was not convinced. Apprehension was visible on her face.

“By the way Maya,” Yui interjected, “what did you use to beat that guy?”

Maya laughed and turned in my direction, “ah..! That. Here Sakura your purse.”

“Eh?” a weird sound escaped from my mouth.

< Huh? HUH!? My purse!> I hurriedly took it and opened my purse…and my phone…MY BELOVED PHONE!? It was cracked. No...Completely crushed.

“My phone…..” I was on the verge of crying.

<I think I am already dead…>

Maya shrugged, “there was nothing else so I used it.”

“I-it would be alright…Sakura…I think?” Aoi tried to console me although she was not so sure herself. Yui shook her head in disappointment.

I glared at Maya. Sensing my rage and sadness she immediately apologized.

“d-don’t cry! I am sorry… I’ll buy you a new one…” We looked at her dumbfounded. But her thoughts indicated something else.

‘It’s no big deal, is it? Why are they looking at me like this?’

< Forget it…>

Even the most delicious food in front I tasted bland now.
