The puppeteer (Classroom of the elite x OC)

Chapter 13

"There are two wolves. One is filled with darkness and despair while the other is filled with light and hope. Whichever wolf you feed, will come out on top"

-quote from a movie

I was thinking of ways to talk to Sakura without having any issue. I have seen my fair share of shy and timid person so I need to make sure I am not pressuring her into doing anything she is against, which shy people are mostly good at

Alright time to find her..... and she ran past me

.... That was her right?

I turn my back to make sure and see her. It was a hot pink haired girl holding onto a camera. Yup, she was the target. I wonder who-

Kushida: Sakura! Wait!

Oh.... That explains things. I watch as Kushida also ran past me in hopes of catching her. I sigh as I think how to make Sakura open up

Sakura is the kind of girl that is shy around others and likes to keep things to herself. However, she is also the type to have a secret side of her that would make her avoid others from seeing it. Only specific people can see that

Someone like Kushida can interact freely with others. She has the confidence and the charisma to make anyone open things up to her. Everyone except for Sakura

Which narrows down to three things:

1. Sakura has a past that she wants to forget

2. She has a secret hobby that she feels embarrassed about

Or

3. She could be hiding something. A dirty little secret

While I think more about it. The second option sounds ludicrous. However, its still a possibility

Not too mention. The camera. She seems to be worried about it

It could be.... That its option number 4

4. Its all three of them

I can't be sure yet. It still hasn't been confirmed yet and I am only jumping into conclusions without any more evidence

I need to find a way to Sakura

So I begin my search. In hopes of finding that shy pink hot pink haired g-

Nevermind.... I found her. Surprising since it took less than 10 minutes for me to have spotted her. She was hiding in an empty hallway. I carefully approach her as I watch her struggle to turn on the camera

Its broken. So broken that her reaction made her.... Scared. She didn't even notice I was there

But her face... its.... Amusing

Despair is such a weird topic to me because whenever I experience it.... It always reminds me of that area. The room I grew up in before leaving

I guess, I am a giant masochist. Because I can see myself in those people. It was the last emotion that was true to myself

Now.... All my emotions are false.

Anyways, I decided to snap my fingers infront of her which made her snap out of it. She looks at me with a bit of fear and shock

Sakura: H-Haru?

Haru: Yo! What are you doing here?

Sakura didn't say anything as she looks at the camera. Normally, I could try and fix it but I risk of deleting her storage, who knows. Maybe that camera holds something dear to her

Haru: We should get that fix

I pointed the obvious out. Sakura turns to me as she shakes a bit

I wonder why

Sakura: Y-Yeah.... H-Hey listen-

Kushida: SAKURA!!!

Kushida came running out of nowhere as she stops infront of us. Sakura felt a bit more nervous as she steps closer to me

I don't know why but I am hoping she isn't doing the 'love at first sight' bs

Kushida: I am so sorry! Please! Let me pay for your camera!

Kushida begs as she bows in respect. I turn to Sakura who looks a bit conflicted. She looks at the ground as she nods

Sakura: C-Can you accompany me then? T-To repair my camera?

Coming from Sakura, this takes alot of guts. All introverts love to spend time alone but a shy person is different. They usually want to make new friends but don't know how. They always think of the worse possibility if they mess up. Not gonna lie.... I feel proud of her

Kushida: Yeah! Sure!

Although Sakura had a companion already... I can feel her eyes land on me

Haru: .... Alright fine

Sakura then nods she quickly moves away

Kushida: You were here first?

I chuckle as I nod at her

Haru: Why? Jealous?

Kushida: Of course! I tried so hard to find her!

Kushida.... While she is putting up a fake persona right now, it really is hard to tell which one is real. Her aggressive side or her passive side

Haru: Well, lets get back. We should prepare for tomorrow

I said as I begin to walk away as Kushida follows behind. Its clearly awkward because of the night that I.... 'educate' her. But it doesn't seem like we are both at each other's throat, I guess that is a good part. I need for the future because of her confidence and popularity

When we arrive back to class, I took one more look at Sakura before sitting down on my seat. And I spend my whole time thinking and studying. Not much to do today but Horikita seems to be looking my way so during study hall she had the audacity to get my attention by, of course. Making fun of me

Horikita: You sure seem have to alot on your mind

.... Nevermind she seems a bit concerned

Haru: I manage to talk to Sakura

Horikita: About Sudo?

... Well [POOP] I forgot about him.

Haru: .... No-

Horikita: Well aren't you useless

Horikita mocks me and sighs. I won't lie... That got on my nerve for a bit

Haru Trust me. I need to get close to Sakura in order for her to open up and tell me everything about what she knows

I explained as I try to remain calm. I turn to Horikita who was thinking and nodding

Horikita: I see.... I might have misjudged you

.... Did she admit she was wrong? Well.... That is surprising

Haru: You admit your wrong?

Horikita stayed silent as she looks away from me, I smirk as I lean on my arm

Haru: Well, just hold on. Sakura is crucial for this case. And we must move calmly and swiftly in order for her to open up

Horikita nods as she sighs a bit. She turns to me

Horikita: Do not screw this up then

I chuckled as I nodded

Haru: Sure. I won't

Then the bell ring. Meaning Study hall is over and our next subject is about to begin

Light: Ayo, so unimportant story. While making this story, a cockroach flew into my face and I slammed my face onto my laptop. There was two good things that happened

I killed the cockroach

And my laptop is fine

But I got brain damaged

Anyways, Lights out
