"What did you say?" Y/N asked, which Mikey had gotten startled by. "How much did you hear?" She was perplexed. "I didn't hear what you said, I heard you say something about drugs." She shrugged, Mikey sighing in relief. He took a seat next to her and sighed again. How should he tell her? Should he? Yes, he should, it'd be foolish not to.

"You should stay away from Sanzu, he's not what you think he is," Mikey finally decided, Y/N turned her head slightly. "Why do yall say that? There's nothing off about him, he's fine."

"Stop being stubborn, I'm telling you the truth, he's not good Y/N, he'll hurt you."

"He won't."

Mikey sighed as he laid his head down on the table begrudgingly. He tried to warn her, but he wouldn't give up so easily.  What would Draken do? He had to think. "Y/N, have you ever heard of those stories where they tell the girl that he's up to no good, but she's too stupid to realize, and it's too late in the end? Yeah, that's what's going on here."

She'd heard plenty of tales similar in nature, but still, she trusted that he was innocent. Though it's a valid possibility Mikey's telling verity, she just couldn't fathom it. "If that's the case, what does he do? Does he fight? Everyone in Toman fights, well except for Souya, he's an exception."

"Of course he fights, but he does other things, like drugs and–"

"Just because he smokes weed doesn't make him bad. You're acting like he's the only one who smok–"

"Shut up and let me finish." Mikey cleared his throat. "He does cocaine. That's the only other drug I witnessed him do, but other than those two,  I'm not certain. He could be doing more than that."

"Cocaine?" I asked to myself, marveling in the dreadful fact. Mikey continued. "He's a drug addict Y/N, and on top of that, he's a player, so please, take heed."

"I'll talk to him."

School ended and Y/N was persistent to talk to Sanzu. She called him and asked him to meet up at the local park, which he agreed. "Where are you going off to?" I looked back to see Smiley with Souya. "My house." I came up with a white lie, and he nodded. "Would you like to walk with us?" Souya asked curiously. "No thank you, something came up with my mom, but I can walk tomorrow."

In understanding, they nodded. "Later
Y/N," Souya waved along with Nahoya. I walked ahead and looked back occasionally to see if they were behind me. Gladly, they weren't. I took this as my cue to run.

"What's so important?" Sanzu asked while crossing his leg over the other, which apparently was comfortable to him. I didn't know how to approach the situation, but it needed to be discussed, as it was a serious matter. Sighing, she returned. "Mikey told me you do drugs, drugs like cocaine." Sanzu looked over at me and laughed. "Yeah, it's true."

I was horrified. My first mind was to slap him, but I held back with a clenched fist. "Why didn't you tell me?! You're a fucking drug addict?!"

"Don't yell Y/N, I was going to tell you when the time was right. You've been suspended and I wanted to give you a break from all this stress. I was planning to tell you today after school, but you already arranged a meeting." Her fist still stayed clenched. She believed him, though still upset at the fact he was doing cocaine. "Why the fuck are you partaking in these hardcore drugs? You know they ca–"

"I know what it does. I know the side effects and what can happen over time." He looked over at her reassuringly. "I'm not a drug addict. I know how to handle it and if I didn't, I wouldn't be taking it. I don't want you to see me any different 'cause I'm not. If it would calm you, I'll give up any drug to see you that way."
