Synopsis
The identity of Watanabe Sakura
---_---_---_---

Sano Emma

5 months ago where i first saw the girl with braids. Her name was Watanabe Sakura. How did i know? She was granted as the 'Angel without an halo'

Everyone loved her except for those who knew. Behind her innocent smile, lies a monstrous devil. I was fortunate enough to know those who opposed her. If i've never heard their side, i would have been also struck by her act.

They described how she'll approach her target, how she can manipulate people with her tears. Sakura is someone you don't want to mess with. Her father owns a portion of this school's property, her mother is a lawyer. What more could she ask for? Everything goes her way..

Always.

One of her victims ended up getting kidnapped and assaulted more than once. She ended up getting pregnant. We tried to get the one responsible kicked out, and yet what can we do? i knew myself, that i didn't go all out into receiving justice back then. I was apologetic to my old friend.

I should've done better.

That was why when i found out this maniac had been interested with my brother, mikey. And is currently using my friend as a bridge, i couldn't just sit back.

if i fought harder back then, would the outcome be different?

I roamed across the sophomore building, with my arms crossed. Every hall i pass was just gazes and gazes. But none of them were the one im looking for.

There was no other way but to force myself inside a certain class. As soon as i opened the door, all eyes we're on me.

"Found you."

"What are you doing here, Emma?" Draken stood up from his seat, quite surprised. Meanwhile Ayu stayed silent but her face was the same. They are both full of curiousity.

My eyes wondered around the room and landed on a certain brunette. Her gaze looked up to me, quite taken aback. "Can i talk to you?" I gave her a friendly approach. "Me?" She pointed at herself for clarification.

I nodded and took her hand. "Aren't you Sakura?" My smile reached the heavens as i said that. The surrounding was full of reactions. 'How is this possible? The school's beauty is talking to the angel!' Their thoughts were too loud.

"Okay.." Sakura's cheeks puffed red as she stood up and followed behind. For a moment that my eyes landed on ayu 'What are you doing?!' She screamed using her expression. I could only smile to reassure her.

It's wrong to take action by myself and i know it was too early to make a move. However, i feel like im losing time the more i stand by. It gives me the flashback of that horrible time i told my former friend to give up fighting and run away.

"Why did you ask for me?" She stuttered facing my behind. I sighed for a moment before  turning to her direction. "What i said in that groupchat. I kinda felt bad for kicking you just like that." the whole time, i was looking right into her eyes.

Her brows twitched and she smiled after that "O-oh! You mean that time.." she couldn't hide her joy. "I mean, i completely understand though! I was just a nobody who entered.. and i'm kind of used to it."

"Used to it?" My eyebrows arched. "Yeah! Though i have a lot of friends. None of them are genuine.. that's until i met ayume! I was also curious about her own friends! That's why i joined!" The way she delivers her words made me doubt myself. Is she really pretending? what a good actress she was.

"Oh that must be why!" i pat her shoulder "You seem very interesting! You know when i said i refuse to add people i don't know? Maybe this is our chance to get to know each other!"

"Really?!" I thought that she was hard to read... her smiled twitched for a second. Even just for one frame, i saw her real intention. It made me froze for a second. "Does that mean that i could be friends with the others too?" Her eyes glimmered. "Yes!" I never specifically said that but, why not.

After that, she started to get more chatty. Her mouth wouldn't stop opening that my only reply is chuckles and nodding. I didn't notice that we'd be here for long. "I heard that your brother likes ayume.." My ears perked, hearing Ayu's name. "That's right."

"She's quite lucky.." She chuckled, shaking. "I hope i could find someone who can love me, like mikey."

"You're right.. Ayu is indeed lucky to have him! They're are compatible, i wouldn't think of any substitute!" I lied. Mikey isn't that praisable, why am i giving him so much credits?

"Is she exactly his type?"

"hmm.. i don't know exactly. Mikey can be a little confusing." Somehow, this conversation ended up on her trying to figure out all the details about mikey. I answered them all, not much we're facts though. I grinned, finally turning away. "I should go back to class now.."

"Huh? but it's almost lunchtime?" My eyes almost popped out hearing that. I checked my watch and we we're really chatting for the whole period. I can't believe it.

"Oh! Emma! I have one more question!" I looked up to her, humming. I just want this conversation to get over with! "About the case-" "Emma!" A deep and sophisticated voice interrupted sakura's words. The both of us turned to draken, calling for me. "Let's go to the cafeteria!"

Draken just noticed sakura's presence so he looked at her- more like glared. It made sakura shudder and step back. "Well, it's nice talking with you! I gotta go now!"

"Oh.. right! Then take care! I'll just go back to my seat... and eat alone." She licked her lips and bowed her head, walking away. As if she was trying to make me invite her for lunch.

What the hell?
