Chapter 8:
I won the romcom, but the fandom hates me so I was sent back in time to become best girl
My sisters glared angrily at me as my father drove us to the forest. When we got there, siren lights lit up the night as police interviewed people. My heart sank as I noticed Yoshi and Yukino amongst those present.
I wanted to just crawl under a rock, why was everyone blaming me for this!? If Yoshi blamed me too, I wouldn't be able to take it.
"Yona, turn yourself in. This is a very serious matter," my father glared.
"I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING!" I tearfully shouted.
"That's a lie. I saw you climb out the window and run off like that," Iroha glared.
"YOU DID IT YOU BITCH!"
"WHAT THE HELL'S WRONG WITH YOU!? EVER SINCE KYOTO YOU'VE BEEN ACTING WEIRD! FIRST YOU GET IN A FIGHT WITH IROHA, NOW THIS!? WHY!?" Miyuu cried.
"You got in a fight with Iroha?" my father sternly asked.
"Yes, she slapped me unconscious," Iroha nervously stated.
"BECAUSE YOU WERE GOING TO BEAT UP FUMIYO AND MESS UP HER CONFESSION TO YOSHI!" I shouted.
"Confession? Fumiyo, did I not tell you and all of you that I do not approve of that man?" our father glared.
"SCREW YOU! I LOVE YOSHI! BESIDES, HE REJECTED FUMIYO ANYWAY SO DON'T GIVE HER SHIT!" Miyuu tearfully glared.
"We will discus the matter later, for now, insure Yona does not run off."
We all got out of the car and approached the head officer.
"Friends of the victim? It was terrible, apparently she jumped into the thicket and was impaled through the heart. Apparently someone she knew drove her to suicide according to her final message," the officer stated.
"We received the message and came running here. I feel guilty. This is probably my fault as well," Yukino cried.
"What do you mean?"
"I suppose I should come clean, Yoshi and I are actually unofficially engaged."
I watched as Miyuu, Fumiyo, and even my father were shocked by the revelation.
"I imagine Yona found out about our relationship and told Sara about it. Miyuu mentioned how she spotted them getting in a nasty quarrel earlier today at school. If I had told everyone about it, then maybe Sara... AHH!"
Yoshi attempted to comfort Yukino as the officer stared at us.
"I'm innocent! Please hear me out! It's true I got in a fight earlier today, but that was the last I saw of Sara. I never spoke with her or sent her any messages after that! Yet everyone thinks I'm guilty!" I cried out.
"I take it you're Yona then? Hands behind your back," the officer ordered.
As I complied, Yoshi spoke up.
"Wait, if Yona says she's innocent, shouldn't you hear her full testimony?" he asked.
YOSHI!
"Yes, we'll get her testimony at HQ, that's how we do things," the officer growled.
"I want to hear her testimony as well as everyone else's. I get the feeling Yona's innocent," Yoshi stated.
"Listen here boy, we-"
"After I saw Sara, I ran back into the school to shower and change. I guess I took a long time as the school was already locked up when I left around 7."
My sisters all shot a surprised glance at me.
"What do you mean the school was locked up?" the officer asked.
"Like the doors were all locked and the lights were off. Luckily, I was able to open everything from the inside and scale the gate. Then I headed straight home, yet everyone was saying I did something bad."
"I think that proves Yona is innocent. I received the message from Sara around 7:15, and I found Sara 5 minutes later I then sent everyone Sara's message and told them what happened. It takes about 30 minutes to get from the school to Yona's house on foot if the trains are on time meaning she couldn't have taken any detours. Besides, Sara's place is in the opposite direction and much closer to the forest than Yona's place," Yoshi deduced.
I love you Yoshi! You're my hero!
"There's just one flaw. Yona's lying. When I got home, around 6:25, I went into the bathroom and saw Yona brushing her teeth. Being the good older sister that I am, I decided to help her. Yet she refused and immediately climbed out the window. I thought nothing of it until I got Sara's message. Then my anger peaked when I saw Yoshi's message confirming Sara's death. How could you revert to your old selfish ways Yona?" Iroha glared.
"I bet you're the one who did all this! When I went into the locker room, I noticed one of the stalls was closed, then I heard someone leave. I'm sure anyone else would have told the janitor I was in there showering," I countered.
"No, it doesn't make sense! We left the school at around 6. No way you were showering for an hour!" Miyuu glared.
"Yeah, you barely even shower for a minute at home if at all," Fumiyo glared.
"I just lost track of time! I was really sponging down because I was so sweaty!"
"Ugh, could you please hold off on the testimonies until we get to the station? I'm having trouble writing everything down dammit!" the officer grumbled.
Suddenly, the officer got a call on his phone. As he answered it, Yoshi turned to my father.
"You all came together yes?" he asked.
"That is none of your concern," my father coldly retorted.
"What time did Yona get home?"
"After 7:00. She was punished for arriving well into the night."
"Yona, was it dark outside when you left the school?"
"Yes, it was dark, though not pitch black," I answered.
"Can I see your phone?"
I handed it over to Yoshi and he smiled.
"This proves Yona's innocence," he proclaimed.
Before he could elaborate, the officer immediately cuffed me.
"You're under arrest for suspicion of attempted theft. Your collaborators that broke into the school just got caught," he stated.
"WHAT!?"
"Hold on! What do you mean!?" Yoshi demanded.
"That's classified," the officer growled as he hauled me to the squad car.
As He shoved me in the back, my head bumped on the door and activated the fandom.
"Yona did it!? Worst girl!"
"I can't believe she was trying to act innocent."
"Once I saw her backstory, I figured she'd go back to bitch mode. Well at least she made the story more interesting."
"I think it might have been Iroha in disguise. She is a snake after all."
"Hmm true."
"I don't know."
The fandom is divided on me? Did they not see me in the locker room? Wait, do they not see my entire life?
As I contemplated things, a new message appeared.
*Do you wish to return to a previous save point?*
I can return? Wait! If I can return, maybe I can stop this whole mess from happening. I want everyone to be there at my wedding just like before.
"Yes!" I shouted.
Things stopped and begun to spin around rapidly.
*Bonk*
"OW!"
I had accidentally slammed the locker door into my head. I rubbed my head and gazed up at the fandom I had accidentally summoned.
*Poll rank 5, restored to save point*
I had gone back in time to gym class.
