Money isn't everything!~A Maid-Sama ff Tora x Oc

16.~Tora's Birthday (1)

Ayaka's PoV:
It's been a week since I and my dad were invited to dinner at the Igarashi's, were the incident happened with Tora.
Since then, I avoid to run into his way, which turns out not so easy!

For days I've been restless, sleepy and unmotivated and my mood is not the best.

Constantly I have to think of the kiss with Tora and how he treats me ... as he probably treated all the girls before me, too.
I do not understand how I can get heart palpitations and at the same time a burning anger at the thought of him.
My feelings are by far the death of me and meanwhile even my friends realize that something is wrong with me.

But what gives me even more headaches is that my father made a contract with Kisame Igarashi.
Just to save our stupid fortune and to save the Kobayashi Group!

He is doing everything he can, to maintain his status as one of Japan's most powerful men and is now meeting around the clock with Tora's dad and other company members.
Even his drinking has increased again, as I had to find out sadly, even if Tamerou tried everything to hide this from me.

At least now, thanks to the summer holidays that are about to come, it's finally time for the course selection in which all students have the opportunity to supplement their grades by the end of the school year.
This also means that no real lessons will take place and we are free to choose what we want to contribute to the summer festival.

Courses such as chess, judo, tennis, swimming, music and theater are offered.

For all classes there are lists in which students are obliged to register.
I do not have to think twice, because I know that I will not continue Yudo as long as Tora leads the class.
Which is why I decide for tennis and music.

Out of the corner of my eye I discover Kanade Maki's form.
He seems to be watching me, and knowing that he is Tora's faithful, reliable dog, I realize he'll tell Tora at any time what I'm doing and what courses I've taken.

The thought disgusts me, but I can not do much about it, so I do not really care.

As I walk through the school corridors, looking for Jae, Kira and Akito, I meet students hanging huge posters and banners.
I do not pay too much attention to them until the grinning face of the student council president actually looks at me from one of the posters.

"So it's today...!"
"The day!"

"The day?", confused, I turned to Kira, who had suddenly appeared behind me and gloomily stared at the poster.

"It's the Birthday of Igarashi's fine son and the whole school is in great excitement, because it has to be perfect!
This important day has to be held perfectly on camera.
Everyone will come, all from wealthy status!
All business partners!
My family and of course also your father.
It will be a single farce!"

She rolled her eyes disdainfully, making something like a retching sound.

I understood her immediately.
I hated birthdays.
My own, as well as others.
Nothing could be so politically, commercially, and clearly structured as a birthday.
Most wealthy families invited the press and television to their celebrations, to record how wonderful they lifed and that everyone could only dream from their precious life.

But not everything seems the way it usually looks!

If anyone hated Tora Igarashi even more than me, it was definitely Kira and Jae Viellier.
The Vielliers also had a lot to do with the Igarashi's and were very close allied business partners.
Unfortunately, Kira and Jae had already celebrated some birthday's with the Igarashi's, while I lived in Germany together with my mother and we stayed away from all political things.
