The next day after school Julian was training with his friends and was going home later than usual.
"Hello, I am back!"
"Hello!" His mother replied friendly.
"Your friend is already in your room!"
"What do you mean?"
"Around ten minutes before you came there was a friend of yours that said that you come in ten minutes, I let him in and I said he could wait in your room, he also said that you send him?!"
Julian´s face was pale and said, "I did not send anyone here, does he have long black hair?!"
"Y-yes but what do you mean you didn't send anyone???"
Julian ran upstairs, he finally began to realize what Ran´s next plan is, he wanted to get in his house to find things he can use against him!
After Julian sprinted in his room he saw Ran searching through his whole room, everything looked like a complete mess; Ran was so focused he didn't hear Julian instantly, after he saw Julian he jumped out of his window from the second floor and was gone after that.
"Fuck, fuck, fuck, did he found the files and ranking, this is with my handwriting, SHIT!" He thought loudly in his head.
They called the police but they were no fingerprints, the evidence was that he and his mother knew the intruder had long black hair and Julian said that it was Ran, it was a strange case at all for the police, someone intruding and only searching in the room of the teenager, but the police said they are going to search for Ran.
Even though Ran didn't find a thing in Julian´s room he has the feeling now that Julian hides there something because he was so afraid of him in his room.
The next day Julian got more information from the police, they found Ran but he had an alibi, he was at a restaurant and all his family there and even staff said he was there the whole time, but in school Ran couldn't walk properly, he said to the teacher in sports class that he injured his ankle, it was obvious that it was because he was Jumping out of the second floor!
"This too much now! This is not about expelling anymore, this is even more dangerous, wait… Tsubame said her stalker has black long hair and a slim smaller statue, is Ran her stalker?!" As he thought this, he became even more angry.
"What is his next move? Does he want to intrude again?"
Julian began not only to develop strong hate against Ran but also began to become paranoid.
The next day's completely silent, no moves from anyone, Julian thought "Is he slowly also scared from the consequences? Is it over?"
You could see Julian slowly recovering from everything, he began to look better because of less stress, but still Julian is on a mission, he still wanted to become the most popular in school!
"After all this stress and problems with Ran my reputation changed, some people began to dislike me but also some had empathy for me and felt pity for me because they believed me instead of Ran, its important now to heal my reputation, going to everyone and trying to explain me and the truth never works!"
"What if I try to let grow grass over everything, like I've already got right, you become popular not through directly wanting to become popular but more doing certain things and the popularity comes as an side effect; I think this is the most stable option also where I don't depend on other people's popularity!"
"But for now I need to focus on recovery, maybe it's just better to do more a defensive recovery, trying to prove others that the rumors are wrong sounds desperate."
"Julian, do you want go eat something after training?" Kaito asked Julian.
"Sure, did you already ask the others?"
"Yes, we all can!"
"Hey Julian, I think this a new record for the four-hundred-meter run."
They were going afterwards to a restaurant.
"Hey Julian, did you found out anything out about those posters back a few weeks ago" Okita Asked.
"No but don't care about it much anymore, are there still people talking about it?"
"Not many but I think still some in my class, but I don't think many talks about it outside mine."
"Guys would you mind if there is something we talk about?" Kaito asked everyone.
"Sure what?"
"You two probably also know about him but in our class, there is someone I don't trust."
"Who?" All three asked.
"There is this guy, I think his name is Wao Ran or something, the problem itself is not that he is antisocial and doesn't wants to do anything with other but to be honest, I think he is blackmailing or threatening some students, or something else!"
"You also think that!?" Okita and Abeno said.
"There two guys in our class that often go with This guy, and they look extremely scared, not even terrified."
"So you also think that, to be honest I saw him already doing this with multiple people, I already said it the principle, he knew that I said I the principle and said everyone he threatened that I am the one blackmailed them all, but only halve of them said that I am the accountable!"
Everyone was extremely shocked by this, the rest of the evening they still talked about Ran, but Julian tried to tell things that happened between them without exposing them too much.
"Interesting, I am not the only one thinking like this, but since almost a week everything got calm and silent, is it calm because its over or is it the calmness before the storm? I hope its just over and he has problems blackmailing now anyways because the school has their attention there now!"
"But still there some questions open, why can't I see ropes now only between certain people and is Ran ;Tsubame´s stalker or not?"
