"What did we ever do to you?! We were just minding our own shit!" Cried this one punk after I smashed his head on the concrete wall he was vandalizing.

I was on my way to the cafe when I noticed this group of delinquents spray painting the alleyway with some rather inappropriate drawings, I knew this would just cause trouble for him so I took matters into my own hands.

Don't get me wrong, I am not playing hero. In fact, I am not interested in taking part in the stupid ideals Bofurin practices. 

I just didn't want him to worry about trivial things like vandalism.

"Spray painting some dicks on someone else's walls isn't exactly minding your own business, you have no right to ruin other people's property," I sighed as I gave him another swift kick in the head.

"Why do you care? You're not even from Furin!" One of the other punks yelled nervously, but he was trying his best to put on a brave face, "Bofurin wannabe!"

"Ha!" I mused, "I have no intentions of becoming one of those goody-two-shoes idiots at Furin. Besides, once I beat him, this town is mine." I declared confidently as I stepped on the punk's face I just kicked, "And once I'm at the top, I'll make sure that Bofurin and their stupid ideals are dead,"

I removed my foot from that one kid's face and made my way to the cafe, leaving them to pick themselves up and pretending like none of that just happened because the moment she found out I was beating up kids in the street, she'd have a hissy fit.

"Yuzu~," Kotoha-nee chimed the moment I entered the cafe, "Practice ended late again?" She asked as she set down a plate of egg sandwiches on the counter.

"You could say that," I lied, and I almost got away with it too if it wasn't for these stupid Bofurin assholes.

"Suga! Did you beat up those punks near the flower shop?!" Hiragi yelled as he burst through the doors, grasping his stomach in pain. He quickly pulled out his stomach medicine and popped 2 pieces in his mouth.

"I don't know what you're talking about," I casually stated as I continued eating my sandwich when Kotoha-nee grabbed the plate from in front of me and glared at me menacingly. "I swear, I didn't do it," I said as I tried grabbing the plate back from her but she just evaded my attempts.

"Practice ran late, huh?" Kotoha glared, I had no choice but to raise my hands in defeat. 

"Fine, I did it, can I have my dinner now?" I told Kotoha who just rolled her eyes at me and handed me my plate back, "Thank you," I continued eating my food and explained to them what happened, "They were spray painting grandma Hayami's walls, what do you want me to do? Just let them do it?"

"You know if he found out about this--," Hiragi started off,

"He doesn't care, he doesn't care about me or what I do!" I spat back bitterly the moment he was mentioned in this conversation. This took both Hiragi and Kotoha by surprise because I rarely cared and was pretty nonchalant most of the time. "I mean, he's a busy guy, he won't care about something as stupid as vandalism," I reasoned lamely as I got up from my seat and headed to my room.

"Yuzuru~" Kotoha tried calling out to me but I just waved her off and locked myself in my room, "Yuzuru, you know that's not true, you know Ume cares about you," Says Umemiya Hajime's favorite.

When I was young, I always looked up to Umemiya. From the moment I moved into the orphanage until the day we left for high school, I've always seen him as my hero.

My knight in shining armor.

I was in love with him, 

I've always admired him,

I wanted to be with him,

As childish as it was, I wanted to marry him one day,

But the thing is, he doesn't see me as a girl.

I knew he was never going to look at me that way, so instead I've decided to make it my life goal to beat him. If he won't see me as a girl then I'd make him see me as his equal.

I swore I'd make Umemiya Hajime kneel before me.

Or I'd die trying.
