Doraemon [ But it's 18+]

● Paint It Red

"Nice"

The bell rang and students hurriedly packed their bags.

"Attention! The students who are staying for study hours will be seated in their respective seats only. Teachers are available from 3 to 5 in staff rooms."

"Bye"

Ida waved at Dekisugi as the other left. The classroom looked empty. The only remaining students were Akira, Nobita, Shizuka, Gian, Suniyo, and Ida.

Akira stood on his seat and cleared his throat,

"Umm, guys, shall we all sit together and discuss the last physics assignment? It would be much quicker and then we could collectively ask for doubts from the teacher"

"Sounds good!" Gian exclaimed.

"Yeah I am down" Suniyo replied.

"Ida?" Akira asked in a gentle tone.

"Oh, yeah, me too" Ida smiled.

Gian placed his bag next to Nobita. Same cold face. Deep down he missed his old Nobita. He just never had the guts to admit it. But today, as if the sun rose from the west.

"I hope you don't mind nobita..."

Nobita didn't reply, he just sighed, expecting a new drama to unfold.

"I am sorry I was a prick to you, if possible I hope we can be friends again"

Nobita's facial expressions became a little relaxed. He still didn't answer Gian, but hopefully, there was a change of heart.

Suddenly the door slid and a middle-aged teacher entered the room.

"Shizuka?"

Shizuka stood in her seat.

"Coming sir"

She left the classroom quietly.

"Who was that?" Suniyo asked.

"I think he teaches the 10th grade?" Gian replied.

"10th? How does he know Shizuka then?"

Silence engulfed the room, as a little concern was visible on everyone's faces. They weren't able to put it into words but Shizuka being nervous and uncomfortable was something different, and the rumors of harassment of young school girls in the area weren't that uncommon.

"Should we check it out?" Ida asked in a low voice.

"C'mon we are just overthinking it" Suniyo tried to loosen up the situation a little bit.

"I think we should go check it out" Akira supported Ida.

"I'll stay" Nobita replied coldly.

"Nobita, see I know what she did was wrong, but that doesn't mean you turn a blind eye to the possibility of her being sexually assaulted by some creep"

The silence was loud, and Gian was right for once. She was awful, but not to that extent to be punished this way. Sometimes, Nobita felt bad for her, it wasn't like she was rude to him, or her parents and others around, but to herself too. She seemed to wear a mask, of her being.. you know? That "it girl", concept, somehow romanticized by the current generation. Even Gian and Suniyo wondered about that bastard who snatched their sweet Ole Shizuka from them.

"Fine, let's go" Nobita agreed, they all made their way through the hallway, passing by the classes occupied by children, some seemed to study, some fooled around. They made their way upstairs because somehow their conscience commanded them so.

The attic was the only place without cameras.

As they approached the old wooden door, the whimpering noises became clearer.

"Please... I beg you..."

"You really want to get this belt, don't you?"

"Shit..." Suniyo gasped.

"Does anyone have a cell phone? We can record this dipshit and get him fired" Akira whispered.

"That's probably the best-"

"No, it's not" Ida's support was cut off by Gian and Nobita who answered in unison.

"Why not?"

"We have spent a decade in this school, and trust me the principal will do anything to protect its reputation, he may suspend the teacher for a few days, or will try his best that no police case is registered, plus Mrs. Yuri will blame it all on Shizuka"

"Ah.... make rape victims feel ashamed of themselves, a classic"

"Then what the hell you two are gonna do?"

"Take matters in your hands mother fucker"

Nobita and Gian barged into the room, followed by horrified looks from Ida and Akira.

Nobita and Gian witnessed the middle-aged man who had harshly pinned Shizuka against the wall, which made Gian's blood boil.

"You ugly piece of shit! Get away from her!" He yelled startling the man.

Nobita made his way to Shizuka, who looked scared, her legs trembling, her cheeks red from embarrassment, her eyes moist. Her shirt was unbuttoned a little.

"Are you okay?" Nobita asked in a gentle tone while he covered her with his school coat. Shizuka broke down in tears as she tightly hugged Nobita.

"Nobita...I -I am sorry.."

The hug and those words came straight from her heart.

The warmth of the hug made Nobita nostalgic, he could sense that their pure and innocent Shizuka was still there, she was just hidden by the darkness that surrounded her.

"Hey, it's alright, we will take care of this okay?"

He wiped her tears and asked Suniyo to take care of her.

"You alright Shizuka?" Suniyo asked to which Shizuka nodded.

"Bro what the fuck are Gian and Nobita doing! Why can't we report this to the principal like normal people?!" Ida questioned Suniyo while Akira was scared.

"Aish, you two scaredy cats, we told you already! Sometimes, you have to take matters into your own hands!"

"I-Ida, Wha-what should we do?"

"Calm down Akira, it's okay, they're just confronting him"

"You disgusting bastard, do you know you can be jailed for life for assaulting a minor?!"

"What a joke, those policemen are just dogs who stop barking when they smell some money, you think she got any shit on me?"

"You don't have any remorse, do you?"

"Let's make a deal, we can take turns with her"

Gian punched the teacher as hard he could, causing him to screech in pain as his nose bled.

"How about we take turns with you oldie?" Nobita said in a mocking tone as he kicked his groin.

"Ida!" Akira back hugged Ida who was also in disbelief with what his eyes were witnessing.

Suniyo smirked as he rolled up his sleeves before joining the show.

"We are going to paint it red baby"
