I asked Takashi to keep my secret until the fight is over, I promised him that I will tell Toman that I'm a girl. I just had an agreement with my brothers that Toman members must not know that I'm a Haitani.

I am now at the bulletin board. The school just announced the ranking of students. As I stand there my heart is pounding hard. What if I disappoint dad again?

I can't find myself to look at the list, I'm too nervous I feel like I'm going to explode, I clench my fist in an attempt to release the nervousness. I can hear everyone talking and it's making me dizzy. Suddenly I felt a warm feeling coming from my hands, I looked at it and there's a hand intertwining mine. I looked up and it was Takashi looking at the list.

"Look up." He said in a calm tone. With just his voice, he removed all the uneasy feeling.

"Huh?"

"look at the list. If you're scared, I'll hold your hand. I'm here beside you." He said, looking at me. I let out a small smile and slowly look at the list. I hold his hand tighter as I scan the paper. finally, I saw my name ranking at number one.

"top one!" I said in a surprised tone.

"Why are you surprised? I know you did your best that is why everything paid off." he fixes my bangs.

"Thank you for believing in me."

"I always believe in you, as you believe in me." He then smiles at me, Ahhh! Those precious smiles, I can't believe that he's mine.

After class, Takashi went ahead because he's going to pick up his siblings at school. Her mother wasn't able to pick them up. I thought of bringing them some snacks later, so I decided to swing by the grocery store.

I am counting some change because I want some water when I bump into someone, making the coins fall on the floor.

"Hey! Watch where you going." I said and pick up the coins. Someone crouches down and helps me pick them up. I look up and saw a guy probably the same age as mine or a little older? His hair is long with locks that are dyed in yellow and tied in a messy bun.

He has a pretty face and looks kind. I said to my head.

"I should be the one to tell you that, why on earth are you counting change while walking? Is your brain size of a pea?"

Until he opened his mouth.

"You're one smug asshole are you? feeling high and mighty, eh?" I said raising one eyebrow.

He chuckled and took my hand, he placed the coins on my palm. "You're not as perfect as they say you are." He then stands up.

I stand up too. "What do you mean? do you know me?" He just smirked and turn his back on me, he then proceeds to walk without answering my question.
