False/True Love 10: The One Deserving

Today's Thursday and it is also the day of Raku's English class exam, their last subject before their lunch break. He is confident that he can answer their exam very well because of his study session with Chitoge. Yes. With Chitoge. But of course he is thankful that Onodera also helps him. He didn't forget that. Then Raku suddenly remembered his interaction with Onodera awhile ago.

"G-Good morning Ichjou-kun." Onodera greeted him before sitting in the seat beside Raku.

"G-Good morning Onodera." Raku greeted back with a smile in his lips.

"Let's do our best in our English exam later." Onodera told him as if she is reminding Raku. She is smiling at him with her right arm lifting in the air with a clench fist in a way like she is saying, fighting!

Because of what Onodera told him, Raku suddenly felt awkward and guilty because somehow, he forgot that Onodera is the first person who helped him study what he needed. He looks away at her then stared at Chitoge who is busy chatting with their classmates. He actually wanted to only take a glimpse of her, but his glimpse turn into stare.

Onodera notice the way how Raku stared at Chitoge... and how a smile forms in his lips. Just by looking at him, Onodera can tell how pleased and happy he is at Chitoge's sight. She felt a sudden pain in her chest when the suppose-to-be acting confession flashback again in her mind. Slowly, she lifted her right arm to put it where her heart is located. The heartbeat of her heart sounds so slow and that makes her feels weak. Because of what she is feeling she didn't hesitate to get Raku's attention just for her... with a smile in her lips that she's trying to look normal. The way he looked at Chitoge shows something else and it's hard to act normal even though it really hurts.

"Ah... y-yeah! Let's do our best. Anyways, thank you so much for helping me yesterday." Raku scratches the back of his head, getting nervous at the thoughts that Onodera may be notice or caught him staring at Chitoge... without him realizing that he is smiling at the same time. Though he is having those thoughts, he still gave Onodera a smile. A smile she deserves to get. A smile that is true and sincere, but still, different when he is smiling with Chitoge - without her noticing. A smile for his 'fake lover' that no matter how small it is, it really looks so happy and contented.

It's been ten (10) minutes since their exam in English started. Because of what Onodera noticed awhile ago, and because of what she felt, she can't concentrate in her exam. She felt like she can't understand anything that is written in the test paper. She is trying to read every question thoroughly but it feels like she is not reading it at all. Getting uneasy at her own action, she suddenly felt like she wanted to look at Raku, so she did. The moment Onodera saw him, a smile form in her lips, because Raku seems like taking the exam without having a hard time. Thinking that she did a good job helping Raku - which she really did if Raku just payed attention that time - made her calm; and finally able to concentrate on her own test paper to answer.

The next day, still on their English time, their teacher already gave them the results of their exam. Everyone in Raku's circle of friends got good results. That's why when the lunch break start, Shu already approached his best friend, teasing him because what everyone knows is Onodera is the one who tutored him. Well, Onodera really is the first one who tutored him, however, they didn't know that - without any  intention of hiding it - Chitoge was at his house then tutored him again.
