HARU'S POV  

"Then convince Haru to marry me." Shiori demanded with a voice full of power. 

"Shiori!" I shouted. "Stop this nonsense!" then glared at her. 

I gaze at Kei who is beside me and now drowning in anger and doubts. 

"Kei."  I whispered and almost deciding to hold her hand but she suddenly brush it off and replied, "Sorry, But I cannot do that."  I look at her with wide eyes and fear sink in inside my system. 

Silence invades the hallway and I thought they were all done with this trash talks but suddenly Kei added, "Tch!." We all gaze at her, "Pathetic." 

Shiori's eyes widen as irritation was written all over her face. But before she was going to say anything, Megumi quickly grab Kei's hand and said, "I apologize for my friend's behavior, If you're so kind, please excuse us." Then she bowed and pull Kei with her. 

Shiro didn't went with them, understanding that Kei and Megumi have to talk about this. But as soon as the two left, Silence was present again in the atmosphere. 

Then he sighed and pat my shoulder, "Shiori-san." He called. 

"I'm sorry if this is the kind of welcome you got from us. And by the way, we are acquaintances of Haru." Then he bowed as a sign of apology and respect. 

"Good to know that manners still runs in a group of friends." Shiori answered. 

"My eyebrows furrowed and replied, "Shiori, will you atleast answer him properly?" 

She sighed and regain her composure. She extended her hand at Shiro and introduced herself properly, "Shiori Kazue is the name, The next heir of the Kazue household, from Yakushimaru Academy."

"Whoah! Y-yakushimaru A-academy?!."  Shiro asked completely astonished. 

Well as expected from Shiori, She is next in line of being the heir of their company so it's completely obvious that her family can afford on going to a prestigious school like that. To be honest, even my family can afford that but I refused. I believed that there are more things I want to explore than to cage myself to a so-called perfect school. 

Yakushimaru Academy is a well known school all over Tokyo. An exclusive school especially made for students from a rich family. But not all students are considered rich, there are some scholarship given too. But a scholarship requires a pretty face. 

Yakushimaru academy is a school for so-called perfect students, you must be rich, talented and physically attractive. If you lack one of this requirements, then you are not qualified. What a discriminative school huh? 

"Shiro, will you just calm down? you're more like a commoner."  

"But I'am a commoner."  

I glared at him and thought, Does this guy have any shame nor pride? Sheesh!  

"what brings you here? If your answer is to cause any ruckus, please just leave."  I said. 

"Are you throwing accusation at me? Of course not. I'm a decent girl and I won't do that. I don't just throw tantrums Haru." She replied with her hand on her hips with a teasing smirk.
