Nothing new in these past days. Izaya kept disappearing just like on last year. I hung out often with Shizuo and Shinra, sometimes with Kadota. Kadota was a mysterious guy because he rarely told about himself, yet he could be a place which I can shares all my problem, other than Shinra and Izaya.

Oh, there was only one change, though.

"Orihara-san~"

I halted my step as I saw a bunch of girls approaching Izaya. They were girls who into popular group, wearing jewellery like a big necklace and several bracelets, only God knows how they can comfortable using them. They wore makeup too, even though I'm sure it's forbidden in school. But to them, who cares?

I hated how Izaya seemed paid attention to them and smiled kindly. As they started to talk the topic that I didn't want to know, I stepped back and turned around.

"Keiko-chan, where are you going?" I startled by Izaya's call.

"Toilet." I lied without turning my head.

"Then, I'll wait on the rooftop~"

Do whatever you want. I walked with quick steps to the bathroom, although I didn't need it.

"Ne, Orihara-kun, do you any plan on later Christmas?"

"Nope. Why?"

Why did my ear still catch up on their conversation? It was irritaring. I speeded up my pace.

"I don't like it."

"What?" Kadota adverted his eyes from the book to me.

"I just don't like how he gets more popular than ever." I decided to let out this bug. I didn't want to keep mad. "I feel outcasted."

"You should know better that he has a popular material." Kadota continued reading his book. "Besides, the girls don't disturb you, right?"

"Well, they don't."

"Then why are you mad?"

I rested my head on my desk, sighing. "I don't know."

Kadota closed his book and stood up from his chair. "Come on, I think Shinra and Shizuo were waiting outside." He patted my head before walking outside. Why does every guy love patting my head? I touched my head before standing up and following him. I felt bad for Shinra and Shizuo because we made a promise to go home together but I held Kadota for a moment because I wanted to tell that has been bugging in my heart.

When we reached the locker, I opened mine and discovered a letter beside my shoes. I took it.

"Who is it?" I flipped the letter but it didn't have a name. Kadota showed up behind me, seeing the letter. He took it and flipped it as well.

"From anonymous?" he gave it back to me. I decided to open it by ripping the upper and lifted a paper.

The letter was written neatly. I read it.

Hi. I know I sound coward for sending this letter. I have noticed you since long, so I wanted to talk to you. Can I?

"... He wanted to talk to me?"

"Huh?"

"Look. It's said how he wanted to talk to me but he doesn't have a courage." I showed the letter to Kadota, let him read it. He frowned.

"Why won't he come directly at you?"

"Maybe because I like hanging out with Izaya and Shizuo?" I guessed.

Suddenly, there's a shout. "IZAYA!" I jumped when I heard a loud noise and some smokes in front of the door. Not again.

The fight between Izaya and Shizuo had become a daily activity for them. Kadota and I carefully took a peek by the door and saw Izaya and Shizuo facing each other. As usual, Izaya showed his amused face while Shizuo showed the reverse of it.
