Chapter 7:

The oncoming storm

I won the romcom, but the fandom hates me so I was sent back in time to become best girl


As I ran laps around the field, I noticed Sara talking with Iroha as they set up posters for the school festival. I knew Sara was on the student council, but Iroha was definitely not. Heck, it was uncanny just to see her actually doing labor.

Now that I think about it, she has been hanging out with Sara a lot lately. But why? She was never close before, and she also loves Yoshi deeply so why would she-

"OI YONA STOP STANDIN AND STARIN! DROP AND GIVE ME 30!" the gym teacher yelled.

"HEEP! I'M SORRY!" I cried as I rapidly did 30 push ups.

                                                                            ...

Once school got out, I returned to the field for sports practice. After finishing, I noticed Sara nervously waiting by the gates.

"Hey Sara, whatcha doin there?" I asked.

"HEE! *Ahem* Yona-san. I am merely waiting for an acquaintance, nothing more," Yona replied.

"What was that at lunch?"

"It was merely a question."

"But aren't you super smart?"

"Perhaps to an idiot like you I'm smart, but I assure you I don't know everything. Now could you please leave me be? You reek of sweat."

"Sorry about that. I just came straight from practice."

"With your grades? You're barely even passing."

"Same for you-"

Sara shot me a look which I could only describe as painfully angered.

"Get out of my sight. I do not wish to see you. The school hasn't closed yet, so I'm sure you can shower down in the locker room," Sara huffed as she stormed out the gate.

As I turned back toward the school, I saw Yoshi walking out with Miyuu, Fumiyo, and Yukino.

"Hey Yona, did you see Sara?" Yoshi asked.

"She just ran out," I replied.

"Don't tell me you're going home dressed like that!" Miyuu growled.

"What's wrong? I frequently go home in my tracksuit."

"Ugh! You can see the sweat marks! Go shower and change dammit!"

I looked down and noticed my tracksuit was soaked I blushed and began running inside.

"Nothing wrong with a little sweat, just ditch the jacket," Fumiyo called out.

"FUMIYO! She's drenched in sweat! If she took off her jacket her bra-"

"So? It would probably turn Yoshi on," Fumiyo smirked as she cut Miyuu off.

Yoshi's face went red as mine got redder. I dashed into the school before I could hear anymore.

As I walked toward the locker room, I got the odd feeling that I was being watched. Well, there were a few students left and I was a sweaty mess. ____. I sprinted for the locker room and closed the door. Phew. Didn't look like anyone was in here-Wait, there was someone in one of the stalls. Well who cares, I can strip and hop in the shower before they come out.

                                                                               ...

As I hopped in the shower, I heard the door to the locker room open and close twice. I guess who ever was on the toilet finished and left. I then decided to shower a bit longer then I normally did so that I didn't get my uniform sweaty.

                                                                             ...

Once I was done, I changed into my uniform.

"Guess I'll bring the track suit home to wash," I muttered as I stuffed it in my duffel bag.

As I tried to open the door, it wouldn't budge.

"Huh? is it locked? But I thought it locked from the inside. Oh, it is locked. Well, I'll just unlock it."

Sure enough, the door opened. Guess the janitor accidentally locked me in, and turned off all the lights in the hall. How long was I in there for? It's already dark out, hmm let me pull out my phone.

I flipped out my phone and checked the time.

"7:00!? Was I really enjoying the shower THAT much!? Well, I guess I did shower a bit longer than usual because I was embarrassed, ah mo! Let's just go home!"

As I put on my sneakers and attempted to leave the school, I noticed the doors were locked too.

Luckily, I could just unlock them from the inside. I just hope I don't get in trouble for leaving it unlocked. I effortlessly scaled the gate and began walking home. __!

Once again, I felt like I was being watched, though this time, it felt more menacing. Wait! could this be that stalker!? I turned around in battle pose, to see... nothing. I just decided to book it home.

                                                                                ...

I climbed the stone stairs and reached my home, a shrine. My family managed a large Shinto shrine, though we were currently debating who would take it over. I'm pretty sure Miyuu ended up taking it over, considering Iroha became a Buddhist nun and Fumiyo became an ero author. I offered to do it, but I was shot down due to my father fearing I'd bring the shrine to financial ruin, plus he wasn't the biggest fan of Yoshi.

"And where did you run off to Yona?" a voice rang out.

I looked to see my father standing angrily in front of the entrance.

"I just got locked in the school-"

"Do not lie with me. Iroha said she saw you brushing your teeth in the bathroom when you suddenly hopped out the window and ran off nearly an hour ago," he glared.

"What!? I just got home!"

"Inside now, dougeza. You are not allowed to move until I tell you to."

"Yes..."

                                                                        ...

I trembled as I sat in dougeza. I bet this was all Iroha's fault. But why would she lie like that? I wonder if the fandom-

"Do not move," my father warned as he smacked a wooden stick on the ground before me.

How much longer would I have to suffer?

Suddenly, Iroha, Miyuu and Fumiyo ran out in a frenzy.

"Miyuu, Fumiyo, Iroha, just where do you think-"

"SHUT UP! IT'S SARA! SHE'S..."

I went pale as I heard what Miyuu said. No how could this be?

I immediately got up.

*SLAP*

I was filled with shock as Miyuu angrily slapped me.

"What was that-"

"YOU BITCH! YOU WERE THE REASON THIS HAPPENED TO SARA!" Miyuu angrily cried.

I immediately went on the fandom.

"Please be alright Sara! You just started to become interesting."

"NO! I swear if Yona's bombshell was the reason for this..."

"First the test scores then the bombshell about Yoshi and Yukino, seriously Yona has no chill."

Huh!? What are they talking about!? I never spoke with Sara after she left the school, nor did I mention anything about Yukino. What's going on!?

*New poll rank 4*

My eyes went wide at the message.

"Looks like you've done it now," Iroha glared as she flipped out her phone and showed it to our father.

"What are you talking about!? I did-"

"Yona. I am very disappointed and disgusted by what you have just committed," my father glared.

"Wha-!?"

"Sara's dead Yona, and you're the main reason for it," Fumiyo glared.
