Welcome Back! (OHSHC Fanfic)

A Deal with a Hint of Sabotage

Hey guys!

Before you read this chapter, I just wanted to inform you that I changed Ai's name a bit - barely even a change really. It still has the meaning of "love" but it's a little longer; Airi

I did like the name Ai but it was a bit too short for me. But that's just me.

Hope you guys enjoy!!

My precious sleep was disrupted by a large hand covering my shoulder, shaking it gently. The plan was to ignore this action of waking until the unidentified person took a hint and left.

But I heard his voice.

The goddamn voice that makes me feel like ripping out my hair.

"Kage-san, I believe it is time for your nap time to end don't you think?"

My eyes snapped wide open as I tumbled away from him in a very . . .  ungraceful manner, eager to escape his evil clutches. I don't think I have ever been this frustrated with someone this much in my entire life. Although I hate to admit it, the way he seems to have everything and everyone around him in the palm of his hand is quite intimidating and impressive.

His eyes widened slightly at my reaction, but nonetheless, he smirked at me in an amused fashion. Despite looking innocent, the smirk is a mirror of the twins whenever they plan to play with their "toy".

That smirk scares the crap out of me.

Regaining my composure, I stand and brush the dirt off of my uniform, trying to avoid eye contact with the teasing eyes before me. With my eyes drilled to the floor, I bow to the boy.         
"I apologize Ootori-senpai as I mean no disrespect, I was just a bit startled." What happened next was not anything I was expecting from Ootori-senpai at all.

His hand, I thought.

He was petting the top of my head with soft and gentle moments. This reminded me of an artist painting a delicate picture of a flower. That, or a dog owner petting their companion with praise as they just did a difficult trick. With confusion clouding my thoughts, I tried lifting my head to ask what the heck this guy thought he was doing. A little hint, the keyword is tried.

The said man forced my head back down when I simply lifted myself inches from my position. It took me by surprise when he did this, not even explaining why he was doing this in the first place.  Ootori-senpai just continued to stroke my head, playing with a few strands. I had enough of this jerk playing with my hair until he entirely gripped my hair.

And pulled.

Suddenly, the world seemed to be moving in slow motion, allowing me to actually process what the HELL just happened. Through my bangs, I could see Ootori-senpai with a check-mate smirk on his lips and my wig clutched in his hand. If I imagine what my expression is at this moment, I would have to say . . . . stomach-dropping fear. Not because I am afraid that other students might see my hair - we're in the rose maze-, but the fact that this person in front of me knew who I was. Based on his face, I'm guessing he knew the entire time I was a girl.

The world was now up to speed. But now Ootori-senpai and I are just staring at each other, daring one another to be the first to speak.
