Symptoms Of Love

chapter 11- deal with the devil?

If I want, I can vaporizer her existence without leaving a trace. The only reason why I am letting this pass by, is because it's entertaining. 

She plays pranks like a ten year old, it's funny she thinks that she can bring me down with those kiddish methods of hers. Like literally tampering with food, tying laces, her stupid remarks. I honestly like her determination.

That day at the basketball court, was the first time we spoke. The only reason I broke the silence was because the basketball coach Mr. Handa, asked me to take up Lee's training. I would have considered it, since she played fair enough. She needed to be polished. That girl straight off rejected the proposal, does she think that I am not good enough for her?

The reply that she gave, pissed me so bad. After that incident, I was on the verge of asking Richard to take out all the information available on Amnesty Lee, but then were is fun in that.

Till now all I had done was mock her, and that was enough to get under her nerves. She would become red with embarrassment, anger, frustration. It was quite amusing, it was like watching a little, naive, hot headed kitten trying to challenge a lion.

" Hey man, I think you should stop... this thing between you and Ness," Kol said.

Ness?

" She thinks that we are limited to being filthy rich spoiled brats, she has no Idea. You might have your fun, but you know you are being observed. To bring down a very powerful heir, your competitors might use her as bait. Looking at her, I guess she has got zero percent awareness of what she is going to get herself into." 

He was right. Nobody would try to harm me directly, that is too dangerous on their part. They can take advantage of the conflict between Lee and I. Harming me and blaming it on Lee, if that happens Lee will try to prove her innocence, but there is nothing she will be able to do. Worse, if she gets hurt and the blame comes on me, that would be more damaging, as it will be easy to hurt her and my image will get stained. I need to keep my eyes on her.

All of this can't happen at the worst possible time. The council selection are coming. Yes, it's selection and not election. Odin has a different way of doing things. The third year highschool students, first year and second year Odin academy students give series of tests which determines the academic, athletic and leadership qualities of a student. The top two performers become the new president and the vice President. The new president and vice President, along with the previous president and vice President, have a decision on who all in the entire student body is capable of joining the student council.

The newly formed student council is kept secret from the rest of the school until the Investiture ceremony. 

It's any time now, I can get my student council president letter. I can't let anything get in my way.

I have to find a way to make Lee realized that needs my help, that way I can train her and keep an eye on her.

I heard a knock on the door, as I was going to open the door, I just hoped that it wasn't Hanna. When I opened it, I saw the last person I was expecting to see. 

Lee was wearing baggy clothes a perfect otaku outfit. I couldn't help but think; I know you are clumsily why do you have to show it!

" To what do I owe this pleasure?" I asked sarcastically and Motioned her to come inside.

" I got this text an hour ago," she said showing her phone screen to me.

I took it and read. It said " If you want to destroy Reeve Ray's reputation use this." The text was attached with pictures portraying me hooking up with at least 20 girls. This can actually lower my reputation,  won't destroy it. If this goes viral the shareholders might start questioning my attitude and my character, I will eventually prove them wrong, but this would be unnecessary trouble. But why did she bring it to me?

" So, why did you bring this to me, threatening?" I raised my eyebrows and questioned.

" I can't fall as low as you. I have many reasons. Firstly, someone is obviously trying to get to you through me and I Hate people who try to use me. Secondly, if I post these, not only you but the girls with you in the pictures, will also suffer. Thirdly, this isn't my style, this is absolutely disgusting and cheap, I prefer playing it fair and square." She had serious look in her honey brown eyes.

I was shocked, a simple minded girl can have so many principals and such strong sense of Justice. She has thought it through, she understood the consequences and the damage. Turns out she isn't as dumb as she looks.

" Well, thanks?" I said like it were a question.

" Can you, at least make it sound like gratitude. Well whatever, I am going good night." She turned towards the door and started to walk.

" Wait, I would like to make a proposal. I am impressed by your act, so I am thinking of helping you out with basketball," I suggested. Her eyes widened.

"This isn't for you though, I will have equal benefit from it. The couch had promised me that if I train you, I can attend the club practices as per my wishes, also be allowed to participate in the tournaments as a regular, plus I will still be considered as a full time member of the club." 

Everything was true, the couch had made this deal with me. If I become the president, I will no longer have enough time on my hands.

" I don't consider this as an "equal proposal", you are clearly benefiting a lot more," she said frowning. "I can let it pass if you apologize." She decided, closing her eyes and nodding.

You wish.

"Sorry?" I said smirking.

" Say it properly," she corrected.

"Sorry?" I repeated.

" You are making it sound like a question," she remarked frustratedly.

" I am saying it properly," I defended myself.

"No!" She denied.

" How should I say it then?" I asked innocently.

" Soorrrryy, I won't repeat my mistake," she said it in a cute apologetic voice. 

" It's okay, I am glad you realized it," I said nodding, holding in
my laughter.

She became red and extremely annoyed, she walked out the room slamming the door.

" Be ready at five," I shouted from behind. 

Damn, I never get bored with her. I realized that I was smiling.
