Decent Place
Josh's anger

Asuna arrived at school the next day feeling nervous. As soon as he entered the school, he felt that many students were looking at him with a cynical look. Some of them were whispering and pointing towards her, making Asuna feel even more uncomfortable.

Asuna was convinced that the news of her kiss with Josh spread by Cindy had spread throughout the school. She felt embarrassed and frustrated, because she knew that many people judged her without knowing her true story. He felt like he was the unwanted center of attention.

Asuna tried to avoid the cynical gazes of her fellow students and tried to remain calm. However, his heart felt heavy and his mind was in turmoil. He felt trapped in a difficult situation and did not know what to do.

As she walked towards her class, she saw that Rina was already at the door of the class. Lina looked worried and Asuna was excited to see her friend.

"Rina," called Asuna in a soft voice.

Lina turned her head and looked at Asuna. He smiled, but looked a little anxious. "Asuna, I know about the news.for sure this will get worse, How are you doing?"

Asuna felt overwhelmed by Rina's attention. "I'm a little nervous and embarrassed, Rina. But I try to stay strong" Asuna said.

Rina nodded. "You're not alone, Asuna. I'm here for you, and I know you're not what Cindy told you."

Asuna smiled weakly. "Yeah Rin."

When the bell rang, the two of them entered the classroom. Asuna felt tense as she entered the classroom and saw the reaction from her classmates. Some of them still glanced at him with a cynical look, but some others seemed to understand and sympathize.

Asuna took her seat and tried to focus on the lesson. However, his mind was still troubled by the situation he was facing. He hoped that all this would soon pass and he could get the support of his friends

During the break Rina wanted to go to the cafeteria she invited Asuna but Asuna chose to stay in class. Just as Cindy wanted to get out of the classroom, Asuna and Rina were shocked to hear the commotion outside their classroom. They immediately stood up and rushed out of the classroom to see what was going on. As soon as they reach the cafeteria, they see an angry and raging Josh, pushing Cindy hard. Some students try to hold Josh back, but he continues to curse Cindy angrily.

Asuna and Rina try to get close to Josh, but the crowd of students watching makes it hard for them to see what is really going on. They could hear Josh's frustrated scream, while Cindy looked frightened and crying.

Without a doubt, Asuna tried to break through the crowd to reach Josh. He knew he had to stop the violence. Lately, despite the disputes between them, he did not want anyone to get hurt.

Rina followed Asuna, trying to help organize the crowd of students. Finally, with great difficulty, Asuna made it to Josh. He tried to ease his anger, spoke to her gently, trying to get her to stop his actions.

"Alright, Josh! Relax!" asuna said in a caring tone.

Josh was gasping for breath, he was still angry and could not control his emotions. However, Asuna's words seemed to have an effect on her. He looked at Asuna's worried face, and he felt lost.

"Damn it, Asuna," Josh murmured, "I can no longer hold back my anger. Cindy spread the word, even after we followed her will to quit the basketball team and stay away from you."

Asuna understands Josh's predicament, she knows that Cindy is the mastermind behind their widespread kiss story. He felt angry towards Cindy as well, but he wanted to stop the violence and resolve the matter in a more thoughtful manner.

"Asuna's right, Josh. We have to deal with it in a better way" Rina tried to provide support.

Josh still looks upset, but he understands that his abusive actions are not the right solution. He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself

Cindy is seen cornered in a crowd of students who surround her, including Josh who is still angry. Without saying anything, Cindy lowered her head while crying. However, a moment later he shouted in a trembling voice, "It's all because of Leo! He ordered me to do that!"

The surrounding students fell silent, and Asuna and Rina were shocked as well. Rina who was standing next to him patted his hands, "Look, I said right? There must be a reason behind all this."

Cindy then continued, "And I'm still vengeful with you, Asuna! You took Josh away from me, and I was the first to get close to him!"

Josh, who heard that, immediately snapped at Cindy, "That's not true! I chose Asuna because I liked her, not because of you!"

Asuna and Rina looked at each other, they never thought that Leo was behind all this. However, they also felt relieved because finally all the irregularities and threats to Asuna were revealed

"Oh so it's all your cooperation, really fucking you guys!"josh said to Cindy.

After Josh learns that Leo told Cindy to threaten Asuna and Josh, Josh immediately left the cafeteria and intends to go to the Basketball Court to meet Leo who is usually practicing basketball.

"Why did you do that, Leo? Why did you tell Cindy to threaten Asuna?" josh said with high emotion.

Leo shook his head, "What are you talking about, Josh? I don't know anything ."

However, Leo's answer did not satisfy Josh and he again attacked Leo with a punch and sparked a new commotion on the basketball court. Some of the students who were practicing were trying to ease the commotion, while Rina and Asuna were trying to defuse the situation.

"Come, don't fight anymore. We have to solve this problem in a good way" Asuna said, trying to calm the situation.

Leo keeps trying to pretend he doesn't know anything, but Josh is already too angry and no longer believes in Leo. Rina tried to calm Josh down, while Asuna looked at Leo with a sharp look.

"Leo, why are you doing this?" asuna asked with a trembling voice.

Leo was silent for a moment, but finally he admitted everything. "I just want Josh off the basketball team and away from you, Asuna. I know he likes you and I don't want to compete with him" Leo said in a weak voice.

Asuna felt devastated and angry at Leo. "You're doing this just for jealousy and rivalry? You're not even thinking about how frustrated I and Josh are?" ask her in a high tone.

Leo lowered his head, embarrassed by his actions. Lina who saw the situation tried to ease the atmosphere. "Of course, we've all had too much emotion today. Leo, you have to take responsibility for what you did" said Rina.

Leo nodded, realizing his mistake. "I know, and I'll apologize Asuna, but believe me I love you so much Asuna I'm willing to do everything I can to get close to you even if I have to get rid of my own friends."

Asuna just stared at Leo coldly, without saying anything more. Meanwhile, Josh is still upset and can't accept Leo's excuse. "Damn it was you who made it complicated, you forced me out of our basketball team and ruined Asuna's life, you were Leo's loser." said Josh, who was still upset

From a distance Some teachers walked towards Meraka and immediately separated those who had been fighting and followed by some students who wanted to see the incident.

After things calmed down, the teachers took Josh, Leo, and Asuna to the principal's room for questioning. Asuna still fears that the news of her kiss with Josh will be revealed, but she tries to calm herself down.

In the principal's room there was already Cindy there who was just speechless staring down, down, then the principal and some of the teachers asked Josh and Leo for an explanation about the commotion on the basketball court and the canteen. Leo kept trying to deny and mention that he was suddenly beaten by Josh he felt he did nothing, while Josh was angry and accused Leo had made him angry

Asuna also feels disappointed at Leo's attitude, but Josh remains upset and continues to accuse Leo. The principal and teachers tried to defuse the situation and requested that they all calm down.

"wait-wait! You guys kissed at Heii's school that's a very forbidden act here" said one of the teachers.

"that's not so sir, it happened for purely my fault I know it was a violation but Asuna did not have the same intention as me at all, so if you want to punish for these actions just punish me" said Josh who tried to defend Asuna.

"then why are you having trouble with Cindy and Leo?, said one of the teachers staring intently at Josh.

Josh tries to explain what really happened and tries to explain that Asuna is also always disturbed by Cindy and her group, however, the teachers are still concerned about the actions of Asuna and Josh who Kissed at school.

"actually we want to get you both out especially you Josh you get a layered sentence, but we want to give you a chance to remember you're about to graduate school" the principal said.

"I've run out of words to defend myself" Josh told Asuna.

"the two of you will be scored for two weeks for your disgusting actions" said the headmaster who looked at Josh and Asuna.

"but paak, are those two weeks so excessive ? " answered Josh.

"Oh does that mind you Josh ? Still mending I did not let you guys out so be grateful" said one of the teachers.

The teachers eventually decided to sanction Cindy and Leo as well for their actions, including tighter coaching and supervision

finally, Josh, Asuna, and Rina talk to the principal and end their feud. They all promise to start a new chapter and maintain peace in school, and work together to meet the challenges.
