Chapter 103: Chapter 102
''Class, stand up!'' The voice of our class president interrupted us as things between Yuuto and Akane gets a little tense.
''Good morning, Mrs Suzuki!"
''Morning class, please have your seats.'' Mrs Suzuki placed the attendant book on top of her desk.
''Before we start our class, I wanted to introduce our new classmate. Please come in, Kudo-san.'' She looked at the door.
Touma walked in while he grinned at me. I was surprised that he was going to be our new classmate. He bows at us before he proceeds to introduce himself as some of the students began to murmur among themselves.
''Nice to meet everyone. As you all may know or not know about me, my name is Kudo Touma. I hope that we could get along soon.'' Touma smiled.
"NANI?!" I jumped from my seat.
''Kudo-san, please have your seat over the empty desk next to Shimizu-san.'' Mrs Suzuki showed a gesture towards the empty seat next to Akane.
Touma slightly bowed at her before he continues to walk casually towards his new seats as if it nothing new. Those whispering voice among the students getting louder while I exchange glances with Yuuto.
''Uh-hm!'' Mrs Suzuki cleared her throat to calm everyone down.
''Now, now. Please calm down for a bit. I still need to take your attendants for today.'' She said as she takes out her glasses from her skirt's pocket.
'Gosh, I am so curious about this...I hope lunchtime will come soon...' Crossing my finger, I looked at the time hoping that the time will fly faster than it should be.
***
''Touma-san, what do you mean by 'personal reason', huh?! I never knew that you are ranked as one of the top ten students.'' I grabbed Touma by the collar after gotten surprised by what he said.
''Calm down, Pancake! I am going to choke if you keep on pulling my shirt.'' Touma who was holding his bento tried to calm me.
''Huh?! Calm down, you said? You better explain everything from the beginning to the end, you bastard!'' Yuuto scolded him.
''What happens?'' Hikaru who just walked from the door seems a bit clueless after knowing nothing about Touma had exchanged into our class.
''Well, I was eligible to be in this 'elite' class ever since the first year after middle school of course. But since my father's business partner daughter, Miss Shibata-san was in the second class, I have no choice but to follow my father order to take care of her. So, I was been stucks in that class with her under the order and will of that old man.'' Touma explained as he brushed the wrinkles off his shirt.
''Ah! I see...I thought you are...having fun or anything...Teehee.'' I stretched my cheek in embarrassment after thinking that he was just doing all of this for fun.
''Anyways, welcome to our class, Touma-san.'' Yuuto patted his shoulder.
''Huh?'' Hikaru looked at us with a dumbfounded face after not getting anything.
''Pfft! Hikaru-kun, the flies are going into your mouth if you keep opening your jaw wide like an idiot. Come and sit here, I wanted a taste of your bento, my girly waifu.'' I teased.
Hikaru's face blushed and he paused for a moment before he went to sit next to me. He then buried his face on my shoulder like a child.
''Gosh, Hikaru, are you doing alright? Did I make you upset for making fun of you? Ara, ara.'' I patted his head.
''Oi, oi! Hikaru get off her!'' Both Yuuto and Touma seems a bit frustrated with him.
''Chill~He always did this when he was having a bad mood. Don't mind him and—"
Suddenly, a strong pair of arm lifted Hikaru away from me. As I turn my back, I was petrified to see it was Akane who moving Hikaru up. His pair of purple-red eyes glared at him as if he wanting to kill him.
''Who is this person? Did he did something indecent to you, Miyu-san?'' His cold yet gentle voice sends a chill down my spine.
''Oi, let go of me you— Wait, you are the pretty boy that I helped with your injury last night." Hikaru looked at his cheek that was patched with a smaller bandage.
''Oh, you. You are her brother, wait you are her precious baby cousin that she has to babysit you almost every day, right? What's your name again?'' He smiled before he slowly let go of Hikaru.
''Matsui Hikaru. You can call me Hikaru. And for your information, I was not babysitting by her and I am a very reliable man for sure. Unlike you, bleh!'' Hikaru jerked his tongue out.
''I see why she finally said you are her precious baby cousin. Looks like you haven't grown up yet, kiddo.'' Akane sadistically teased him.
''What the fck you said, you bastard? Even though you have a pretty face, that doesn't mean I won't dare to punch that punny face of—OU-OUCH!!''
I pulled Hikaru's ear downward since he was a little tall for me.
''Apologizes now, Hikaru-kun or else I won't let you have your snack today. I will make sure there's won't be a single potato crips bag left hidden in your room.'' I threaten him.
''Yes, got it... I am sorry, pretty boy.'' He slightly bowed his head but just when I decide to introduce him to Akane, he pointed his middle finger up at him saying,
''Sike. Like if I would apologise to you.''
''HIKARU!!!!'' I scolded.
***
''Gosh, I am truly sorry for what my cousin did to you back then.'' I apologize as we walked back toward our class.
''It was fine by me. Partly, it was also my fault since I failed to properly introduce myself. I was kinda selfish at the moment. I am sorry for my rudeness.'' Akane bowed at me.
''No, it was not your fault. I should be the one who is apologising right now. I failed to teach my cousin some good manner. Please accept my deepest apology, Akane-san.'' I began to bow at him.
''Please don't be sorry for the thing that was not your fault to begin with, Miyu-san. So please—"
''So, how long are you both going to continue such a conversation, huh? It's kinda piss me off." Yuuto rolled his eyes to the back of his head.
"It was only natural for me to apologies to Akane-san after what Hikaru did." I argued.
"And you already did, Baka Pancake~" Touma flicked my forehead.
"Could you guys give her some space, please?" Akane blocked Touma away from me.
"Wha—" Touma was surprised.
"I said, give her some space, please." Akane glared at him.
"Whoa... looks who's here acting like a prince. Hey, Akane! Wanna pick a fight at P.E later tomorrow? I will make sure you will kneel on your both knees when I start to kick your ass with those balls." Yuuto crossed his arm while smirking at him.
"Oi, oi! You guys." I glared at them both.
"It was alright, Miyu-san. This is how we boys makes friend. It will seem quite rude but it was fine." Akane looked at me with his purple red-ish eyes.
"A real man can't say 'no', right?" Akane smiled gently at Yuuto.
"Count me in too." Touma jabbed Akane with his elbow.
"Sure." Akane nods his head.
I smiled happily after seeing that the three of them are getting along pretty good. But then, my phone buzzed a few time. Wondering who might be texting me, I looked at my phone screen.
''Ichika-san? Wait, what is she—!"
I was surprised by what I was seeing in the chat. She sends me a picture of someone familiar that was stalking me. In her text, she also typed that she was passing by my house when she was about to get something at the convenient store. She also warned me to be extra careful.
'Should I tell this to Yuuto...'
*Buzz!*
'Have you seen Yui-san by any chance? Because she has been going missing this whole day.' She texted.
"Ara? Looks like she already notices it..." I covered my mouth.
