A Painful Melody

Chapter 20- Confessed Deal

3rd person POV

"And so?" Akagawa's small smirk faded, leaving her stoic expression. A girl stood in front of Akagawa, with a nasty glare present on her face. She took a deep breath, getting ready.

"Despite losing, I must get you some credit for keeping our bet." Akagawa smiled sweetly, the girl clenched her fists.

Ayaha grabbed Akagawa's sleeve. This girl was the girl's basketball team's captain. Messing with her won't be very good, especially since girls in this school are very persistent. Ayaha felt the urge to protect those eyes, just as much as Shuichi.

"You transferred in not so long ago. Not even the beginning of school. You stole Akashi-sama's spot in ranks for tests, befriended the person none of us could get to, you have a hot childhood friend and now you're stealing Akashi-sama for yourself. I hate how you are leaving taints in this school. I want you to transfer." Shuichi stood up after this girl's speech. He had the urge to make her leave, for saying such rude things to Akagawa. Though the red head only smirked.

"This is nothing new to me. So can I conclude that your hatred is nothing but jealousy? Should I apologize for being better than you?" Akagawa's sweet voice made the girl clench her fists.

Why did she decide to do this? After all, Akagawa was the person that seemed to have everything in her hand. The world was dancing in her palms. It made her blood boil, that such a woman was seducing Akashi. Ayaha snapped this girl out of her thoughts by snapping her chopsticks.

"Since you're done, can you please leave while I while I eat my lunch?" Ayaha spoke softly, the black haired girl was feeling pretty bitter after that confession. She didn't know that Akagawa was thought of this way, just because Ayaha wanted to talk to her.

Shuichi sighed, "Yes, please do. I don't want to do something I'll regret later." The girl only gritted her teeth and left. She came here because of the bet she kept. As promised, she said why she hated Akagawa but in return, she was glared at by two attractive people. If not, the most-known and idolized people in Rakuzan.

The beautiful girl no one could get close to and they could only admire from afar.
The handsome guy who could easily make girls fall in love and skills on par with the infamous Emperor Akashi.

Akagawa sighed, "Tadao, I'll be staying after school for a bit." She changed the subject, Shuichi raised an eyebrow.

"Why?" He asked. Ayaha nodded in agreement, because she wanted to know as well.

"Of course, that's because she's coming with me." Akashi walked closer to them. A smirk present on his face, and a peach colored paper behind his back. Shuichi stood up and glared.

"I shall repeat my question from before, why?" Shuichi clenched his fists as Akashi's left eye flickered yellow. Ayaha coughed softly, making Akagawa to turn her attention towards the black haired female.

"Even though that girl captain made me mad, this eye candy in front of me makes up for it." Ayaha slapped her mouth shut and started to drown in her embarrassment. Akagawa chuckled, Ayaha was still shy around anything Shuichi was involved with.

Though Akagawa didn't see it. Akashi and Shuichi were having a mental battle. Sure, both males were ranked the best looking but Akagawa didn't see it. She still saw Shuichi as the small boy who used to cling to her because he couldn't see what was in front of him. She saw Akashi as the guy that cushioned her fall and is currently investigating her eyes.

Akagawa stood up and dusted her skirt, "I'm going to discuss my club selection with Akashi-san. He is the students council president, naturally he has the information on each club." Akashi nodded his head.
