All Chapters of More Than One Online Chat Partner: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

[To be honest, Georgia's comfort after Jedediah's loss in the competition was significant. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to bounce back so quickly. If I were him, I might have fallen for her already.]As I glanced at the comments, my mind wandered.They were talking about a basketball game that took place last fall, one that meant a lot to Jedediah. But he faltered at a crucial moment, and they lost.His teammates tried to console him, but he could still feel their barely concealed disappointment and shame.He hid away, alone.I sent him so many messages, but he never replied. In the end, I recorded a purposely off-key song for him.Finally, he responded, "Stop singing. You're going to kill me with that voice."His voice was full of helplessness, but there was the faintest hint of amusement. I stayed up talking to him until dawn, finally managing to lift his spirits.[Monica stole Georgia's play! Jedediah would never fall for her. He's always liked Georgia.][Exactly.

Carmelo's face darkened, and he turned to glare at the guy. "You said that?"The guy protested, "No.""Oh," I said, pretending to pull out my phone, "I didn't just film one clip. Let me look for more."The guy panicked, turning to run away. His reaction was already an admission.Carmelo huffed, "Alright, break it up! Training time!""Sir." I approached him. "Did you forget something?""What?" Carmelo frowned.I pointed to Bruno, who had already silently begun organizing his racquet. "You haven't apologized to him yet. You wrongly accused him in front of so many people. Don't you owe him an apology?"Not far away, Bruno paused, looking up."Where did you come from? Don't delay our training. Everyone who's not involved, get out," Carmelo spat, storming off.I pressed my lips together, quietly wiping his saliva off my face. Bruno gave a barely noticeable smile, but I caught it."Are you laughing at me?" I asked.He quickly returned to his neutral expression. "No."I pouted. "

[Although Bruno is a rather eerie person, he hasn't abused the cats.][I remember this plotline, but who was the real culprit again? I'm a bit hazy on the details.][Was it someone named Brady? Brady Nash?][Yes, that's right. I remember now. On the surface, he was a top student from the School of Life Sciences, but underneath, he was a disgusting pervert.]I forced myself to calm down, pushing the excitement in my chest aside. After washing up, I lay in bed, chewing over the information I had gathered from the comments.Now that I thought about it, the barrage actually had some use. The information they provided was very specific. Finding the culprit behind cat abuse would be just a matter of time.But the more I thought about it, the harder it was for me to fall asleep. I casually typed in Bruno's name in the school forum, and the posts that popped up made me shudder.There were girls, drawn to his good looks, trying to get more information about him. As soon as a post about h

Bruno added, "H-He might hurt you."My eyes widened, and I blurted out, "You know about him abusing cats?"Bruno furrowed his brows. "How do you know he..."He met my gaze and fell silent. Then he said, "I've been investigating him for a long time. It took a while, but I finally confirmed it was him."I studied his expression, then tentatively asked, "Bruno, can I ask you something?""What is it?""Someone said they saw you abusing a cat by the lake. What happened there?"He fell silent, and I began to question whether I was being too forward.Then he replied, "That night, I was coming back from outside. As I passed by the lake, I heard a cat's scream. It was short, and I wondered if I had heard it wrong. I followed the sound and found a little cow cat, only two or three months old, had its neck twisted."He paused and added, "I squatted down, trying to save it, but a girl came over. She screamed and ran away. And you know the rest."I could barely keep calm. "Did you not try

Bruno looked at me helplessly."Are you always like this?""What do you mean?""You like to talk nonsense.""I'm telling the truth, and I don't always do this. I've only ever said these things to anyone before."Bruno gazed at me for a while, then looked away. I looked up at the sky.The air between us suddenly became awkward, but strangely, a little ambiguous.The barrage flickered just then.[They're so lovey-dovey.][Why don't you two just get together already? The play between Jedediah and Georgia is lackluster, giving me heartburn.][Georgia is fine, but Jedediah? I've never seen such a personality-less guy.][Why not switch him? Bruno seems like a better choice.][Give it up. Clearly, he has no interest in Georgia. Can't you see his eyes are practically glued to Monica?]I turned my head, shifting under Bruno's stare."What's wrong?""I'm just thinking.""About what?""You gave me a love letter once. I casually tossed it in my dorm, and now I'm going to find it."
