The story we didn't know

IX.

"Why did I agree to this?"

"It was a promise remember?" Ai responded.

"It was what Mom would've wanted, besides you look too young. You need to go to school or people will get suspicious." Said Ren.

We're dropped off and we enter the school gates. I hesitate until I feel a someone pushing.

"Now or never, both or none remember?" Whispered Hikishima.

"Fine!"

We start walking and get a whole lot of stares, whispering is heard all around us.

I take a look at Hikishima, her long hair, her short uniform sk-

"What is wrong with me?" I place a hand to cover my cheeks and look away from her.

"Hm?"

"Nothing."

I look at the gtoup list beforehand, luckily Hikishima and I are on the same class I exhale in relief.

"KANAME!" Seiren calls me in the distance.

"Seiren could you be less loud please."

"Sure, sure. What would you say if I asked you for Hikishima's number?" He whispered to me while putting an arm around me, I take if off.

"Why don't you ask her instead?" I said in a serious tone. "We should get to class."

I saw Hikishima walking to our homeroom, her place besides the window, mine next to hers. Seiren sits right in front of me. Hours go by, school is harder than I remember. Before lunch Hikishima is surrounded with people.

"Hikishima will you be tutoring this semester?" - "I'll pay anything for those notes of yours!"

"Sorry guys I won't be taking any more jobs this semester."

I smile slightly when hearing that, the students leave her. Seiren pushes his desk besides her. She looks annoyed.

"I think I'll have my lunch elsewhere."
She says.

I stop Seiren. "This approach has to stop. She'll hate you."

"Aw you worried for me? Give me her number then." He winked at me.

"You're impossible. Just eat your lunch."

We eat our lunch together and Ai appears.

"Kaname~ Enjoying your life as a student I see."

"I can't even have lunch without feeling you guys watching me. I'm fine. Where's Ren?"

He's with Hikishima. My eyebrow twitches.

"Is that so?" I head towards the bathroom Ai stops me.

"They need to talk father." She whispers to me.
