I left the changing room quite happy. I had finally managed to discover who that person is who will help me a lot in the future. Plus, the costume looked beautiful on me.
The reason I managed to be a main character in my first play is that, besides having a talent for acting, my natural eye and hair color matched one of the heroines. My only complaint is that the costume reveals a lot of cleavage and stomach; I'll probably wear a red shirt underneath.
As I walked, I moved my head and a bit of my body to the rhythm of a catchy song I heard a few days ago.
Soon, I passed near the stairs on the left side of the university.
Out of nowhere, I felt a hand wrap around my stomach, while another covered my mouth. When I tried to scream, the person tightened their grip and pressed their hand harder, making it impossible for me to speak.
I began to squirm, but the person behind me started moving their right arm, which was around my stomach, up my body until it reached my neck, where they began to choke me. "Relax, I've timed this well, so it won't be lethal." The person kept choking me, reaching the point where I could only stay still from lack of strength, and then passed out.
Soon, I felt a buzzing in my head. I was tied to an office chair in the middle of a living room inside a house that seemed very comfortable. In front of me was a sofa where I could spot a person sitting. Near him were my backpack and Uragiri's.
I felt immediate despair. I began to tremble and scream like crazy. "Who are you? Uragiri. Why are you doing this? Please let me go?!!"
He stood up, looked me directly in the eyes. He had a terrifying gaze. He still had the gel he put on earlier, so his facial expressions were perfectly visible.
He grabbed my backpack and opened it, quickly finding his mask. "It was easy to bring you here. Knowing you're a model, I simply said you had to leave quickly for a photoshoot and that I would bring your backpack because your house was 'on my way'."
He approached me with the mask in hand. "You know stealing is wrong, right? You have one chance. You'll give me all your personal data you have available, and you won't talk about what you know."
He's a damn lunatic. I felt all my muscles tense; immense terror took hold of me. I knew investigating him could be dangerous, but this is another level. "I... I'll do whatever you want, I swear, but don't hurt me."
He stood in front of me with a phone in his hand. "Good answer. I'll give you my number, and any call I make, you have to answer. Understood?"
"Tomorrow we're going to an amusement park, okay? Supposedly, I went to your house today and helped you carry your backpack, so we're friends. It would be weird if friends didn't hang out sometimes, right? With Sameru, it's not necessary thanks to his personality, but you're different."
"O-of course... I accept." I swallowed heavily. For a moment, I feel like he wants to stab me, but knowing how he behaves with Sameru, I just have to be like a lapdog. But if I had to guess, he'll have me under very close watch for a few months or a year...
"Good." He brought my phone closer to me and opened it, then put in his number and sent a text to himself. Then he added me from his phone, one I hadn't seen before.
He started walking until he was behind me, then cut the rope that was tying me up. "Don't worry, I'll pay for all the expenses of the place. You just have to obey me and not make me angry again, so everything goes well."
When I was untied, I felt a great relief. Thanks to Sameru, I know this isn't all bad. There are some details that could harm me, but in general, nothing bad will happen to me as long as I keep him happy. Although I don't know what makes him really angry, I'm sure it's mostly revealing information.
I took a deep breath and then exhaled. I got up from the chair, feeling a bit more relieved. I started looking around. "Where are we?"
"In my apartment," he said calmly. In fact, he was too calm... His apartment... I'm alone with him in his apartment?!
No, no, he probably lives with relatives. "Where are your parents or siblings?" I asked, extremely nervous. My whole body seemed about to fall apart from everything that happened in less than 10 minutes.
"I live alone. That bunch of stupid bastards are dead to me." Uragiri sat back down on his sofa.
He lives alone... He has me locked up here... I looked down, realizing I was still in my costume. And my clothes aren't the most appropriate. I felt a chill that had nothing to do with the cold.
I jumped from where I was to a corner of the room, then hugged myself with my arms. "Did you plan on doing something to me?!"
"Not a chance. Now get out of my house." He grabbed my bag and threw it at me, which I barely managed to catch. "The door is open," he pointed to the apartment door with his right hand.
I walked to the entrance, and when I moved the handle, I saw it really wasn't locked, so I opened the door and left his house, then started running towards mine. On the way, I sent a message to the club president clarifying that I wouldn't use my costume without a thick red shirt underneath.
The day passed like water slipping through your hands in the bathroom. The only thing I did was stay in my room watching videos until I fell asleep at 8:23 PM.
The next morning, I felt somewhat excited. I started trying on different shirts, skirts, and pants I had.
For a long time now, I've been very, very limited by my parents when it comes to getting a boyfriend. At first, they told me I couldn't have one until I graduated from secondary school, but in high school, my father scared them all off because he was in third place to fight the national boxing champion, so he has several awards and has been intimidating anyone who comes near for several years.
I grabbed a shirt that made me look very cute, but I remembered there are also classes today, so it would be obvious I'm going on a date... Is this even a date? I mean, he's going to pay, and he invited me, plus, we've already crossed several lines, though not the right ones.
But... isn't Uragiri someone very stubborn? I'm sure he'll look at me weird when I arrive and tell me he doesn't like it or something... I threw myself onto my bed and hit my pillow, then started kicking and hitting my bed until I felt calmer.
When I finished, I decided on a black skirt, a light brown shirt with a cute bear print on the chest, along with a beret of the same color with black lines.
I looked at myself in the mirror, then made my two hands look like little guns and blew a kiss to myself. "You look divine."
After that, I went downstairs and ate quickly, went to the uni where the stares from others weren't even trying to be hidden. After surviving the hell that is classes, I headed to the courtyard where Uragiri and I had agreed to meet.
When I arrived at the place, I saw a horrifying scene. Uragiri was wearing phosphorescent yellow pants and a completely black shirt, and to top it off, he didn't even comb his hair. Although, to be a bit nice, with his haircut it doesn't look so bad, but it's still hideous.
I started walking towards him with confidence. When I got close, I asked him: "Why are you dressed like that?"
He moved back a little and replied, "What do you mean? Yeah, it's because of the pants. I forgot to do the laundry, and these are the only ones I had."
"Then why do you have a black shirt?! Let me guess, it was also your last shirt." I brought my face close to his.
"Bingo," he replied, nothing more.
I sighed heavily; it even seemed like someone had knocked the air out of me. "What time does the park close?"
"At 11:00 PM," he said calmly while opening his phone.
"Well, we have time. Let's go buy you some clothes!" I grabbed him by the wrist, and he didn't even resist. We started walking through the uni... We started walking through the uni?! Now that I think about it, I'm practically holding his hand... No! Actually, I'm pulling him along.
I lowered my head, feeling a huge wave of embarrassment hit me. "What's wrong?" I heard his voice behind me.
"It's nothing, you just keep following me."
He didn't ask anything else on the way to the stores.
When we arrived, I looked for clothes. Actually, I was only mad about the pants, but I didn't find anything that matched his shirt, so I decided on simple white pants of the style usually worn at home.
After he put them on and stored the disgusting pants in his backpack, we went to the park.
"Hey, you complained about my pants, but isn't this similar?" he asked while walking behind me.
"No, of course not. What you had before didn't match at all. White, although too casual, looks better for going out." I stopped to look at him, my gaze almost penetrating his pupils.
With my stop, he caught up to me, standing side by side.
We maintained a drowsy silence as we walked, but thank God we soon arrived at the park. He went to a booth where he showed some tickets he had bought, and the man let him in.
Upon entering, I saw at least 5 impressive roller coasters, one with a rabbit theme. I grabbed his arm and pointed to the one with several bunny pictures stuck on it. "I want to go on that one first!"
Uragiri moved his arm a little as a sign of rejection of my grip, then started walking. "Let's go."
We both started approaching, but out of nowhere, I saw a cart shoot out from the starting part. Although the circuit wasn't anything out of this world, the speed was terrifying. I felt a great fear seeing how fast it went, but when I turned to look at Uragiri, he was totally calm.
After only 2 minutes of waiting, an attendant put us into one of the 2-seat cars. "This circuit consists of 5 laps. If you manage to complete them, you will be granted a photo with a family of bunnies," he said calmly...
5... 5.... 5 laps?! I began to tremble all over when another attendant began a countdown. Upon saying 'one', he started the circuit, launching us. The first lap flew by; the second and third were the same. On the fourth, I felt like I was going to vomit, and on the fifth, I ended up vomiting to the side of the track.
When I got off, I felt like everything was spinning, but Uragiri was still totally calm, until he saw the photos of people who had successfully completed the challenge earlier. Everyone had their nose painted and were wearing bunny ears!
At that moment, I felt such a strong emotion that all my dizziness went away. But Uragiri turned as pale as if he had seen a ghost. No, in fact, I'm sure he would be calmer in that situation.
His expression went through several phases, but in the end, he seemed totally resigned. We both went and had the tips of our noses painted pink. Obviously, I forced him to tie his hair back so his cute nose would show. Then they gave us some bunnies to hold and placed others on us. Uragiri ended up with eight, while I had more than ten because I love animals.
After finishing that roller coaster, we went to all the other rides, where we had fun non-stop until the day ended.
At 10, we left the place. We started walking down the dark street, but out of nowhere, Uragiri's face paled, and he was pulled into an alley we were passing by.
