Shadows Of Fate

5.) Hidden in the Shadows

"Hmm, Masato? Why are you standing outside?" I asked.

We were both standing outside Yuta's office. Well, he was standing there when I came.

"Can you hear? There are no voices or movement sounds."

"Okay? I'm just gonna go in." I told him.

I was greeted by silence. No one was in the room. I heard Masato step in as well. Yuta's belongings weren't in the room as well.

"For Masato and Kuroi, Sayo and I are both in a student council meeting. Nezuko is not in school today due to an event. Make sure to rest well! From, Yuta." Masato read out loud.

"Where did you get that from?"

"On Yuta's desk."

"Oh, I didn't even realise it was there. Well, it looks like they're not going to be here for the whole break. Why don't we go somewhere else to have break? I don't think staying here with just the 2 of us would be a good idea, it's too quiet." I told Masato.

"Do you prehaps want to go to the art room, then? I reckon that there's nobody there anyway." Masato asked.

"Sure, why not." I answered.

Once we reached the art room, Masato got a chair for me to sit down. He went to one of the storage rooms in the art room and took out an easel and a canvas that had already been drawn on. He placed the easel with the canvas next to me.

"What did you draw?" I asked him.

"It's a surprise, don't look first." He answered.

"Okay then," I pouted.

"So, tell me about yourself. We didn't really get the chance to converse much the other time. I would like to get to know you better." Masato said.

"Well, what do you want to know? Basically everything about me is on the internet."

"People don't go online to search for information about their friends, right? Just tell me everything."

"Ok then. I'm Kuroi Tenshi and I'm currently 15. I'm a first grade high schooler that has a job unlike normal high schoolers. I work as a fashion and cosmetics model, influencer and brand ambassador under NM entertainment. I enjoy sleeping and lazing around in bed, shopping for clothes, and hanging out with my friends. My parents died when I was 9 and I remember being in the car when they crashed. I love drinking bubble tea and eating desserts of any kind. I'm a single child and I definitely don't wish to have any siblings. I can't stand kids that run around and are too noisy. My mbti is ISTJ and I'm a Capricorn."

"Your parents died? I'm so sorry. Well I guess it's my turn. I'm Masato Kage, I'm 17, a 3rd grade high schooler. I like to draw, paint, and do stuff related to the Arts, I guess. I got into FJS through an Arts scholarship cause I suck at studying. I don't like talking to people other than my friends. And I have a pretty sad family background, I guess. My younger sister almost died in a fire when I was younger and ever since then, she's stuck in the hospital, unable to move or anything. My parents don't even treat me like their own child due to that incident. Well, that was quite a sob story, but don't feel sorry for me. I kind of deserved it anyways." Masato said.

"I never knew that. I hope that one day, your sister will get better. I'm really sorry for you." I told him with sad smile.

"Thanks, Kuroi. What is that book you have there?" Masato asked.

Realising he was asking about the item I had brought along with me, I decided to show him. It was a photo album I had brought along with me to look at during break. My class had an activity where we had to showcase 1 of our childhood photos to the class. The class would then proceed to guess who that person is. It was merely just a fun class bonding activity. Inside the photo album I was holding were photos of my parents and I. I wanted to choose a specific photo to show the class.
