Refresh [Izaya X OC ff]

Chapter 27

"Oh! You're Izaya's best friend?"

Wow. It's been a long time since I heard that nickname before. I still remembered I used to be called by that from students in school. Now that I had befriended with Shizuo, no one often called me that again, until now.

"Shi-Shishizaki senpai?" I widened my eyes after turned around and examined the man who called me earlier. He was leaning on the doorframe as if he was waiting for someone to come. My hand moved from the door, cancelled sliding it. "Good morning. Are you looking for someone?"

That was the first time Shishizaki senpai called me. I knew who he was since he mainly got involved in Izaya and Shizuo' fights. He was good in martial arts and it was pretty impressive how he could catch Izaya and held Shizuo's power. He was strong, Ikebukuro sure had saved many strong people. I thought no one capable of stopping both of them. We only talked once, when Shishizaki senpai thought I was caught in the fight and 'saved' me from them, but then he found out I was hanging around with Izaya often. He only remembered me as Izaya'sbest friend probably. Izaya always pulled me away from him, saying that he's an annoyance and I shouldn't get near to him. Even if I wanted to, I wouldn't able to get close to him. Popular, rich, of course, he had a strong aura that I most likely would avoid it for an unknown reason. I always felt awkward beside a popular person, except Izaya.

"I'm looking for Shizuo, but the class is still empty. You're not with Izaya right now?" I slide open the door and found no one inside the class. Guess I was the first one who came. I shook my head before heading to my desk and put my bag on top of it.

Izaya couldn't go with me that morning, so I had to depart by myself.

"Shizuo might come soon," I told him.

I was surprised when Senpai suddenly pulled a chair and sat in front of my desk. I froze.

"What's your name again? Asagao Keiko, right?"

"Senpai, you forgot my name." I laughed. Disappointed, but not surprised.

"Sorry, Izaya always pulled you away so I got no chance to talk to you more." Senpai winked. Oh, dear. "Anyway, I'm not in the right place to ask this, but..."

Is he going to ask me a question? I sat down.

"Do you like Izaya?"

I choked.

"I knew it! Your face is always red whenever you're with Izaya. Shizuo should know about this!" Senpai grinned.

"Is it that obvious?" My face turned red, suddenly getting embarrassed and panic at the same time.

Senpai nodded. 

What should I do? I never knew I was obvious enough that even Senpai could know.

"You know, Asagao-san..."

I lifted my head to see him.

"I know you're not like any of his followers." Senpai fixed his gaze to me, smiling bitterly. "You're a nice girl, even too nice to be his best friend. I know it from the first second I met you. It's such a shame for you to fall for someone like him."

"I don't have a choice." I bent down my head. "It just came even though I don't want it."

"I don't mean to stop you from liking him, but be careful." Senpai ruffled my head out of sudden, something that I didn't expect. "He's untrustworthy. I know his true nature. You can't trust him that easy. There's plenty of guys that better than him." 

Suddenly, the class door opened.

"Like him." Senpai pointed at the figure that just came. I saw at the direction.
