Chapter Six:

"Keisuke Chikara"

xXx

You've noticed something weird about Oikawa for the past week. He's been very touchy and more clingy than usual. You'll never know what goes on in that boy's head, but you figure it's best not to know.

"Hey, Sweetie-chan?" Oikawa called out to you.

"What?"

"You know your class started ten minutes ago, right?"

"HAH?!" You shouted, you quickly grabbed your things and dashed to your class while shouting: "Bye, Oikawa!"

~~~~~

"Sorry I'm late, Akihiro-sensei!" You apologized, bowing at 90 degrees. Mr. Akihiro simply shook his head and sighed. "Don't be late again. Please sit down." He said in his usual bored tone.

"Okay, thank you." You quickly took your seat in the middle row and took out your school supplies.

"Now that that's over withㅡ" Mr. Akihiro adjusted his glasses, then turned his full attention towards the class, "ㅡI have an announcement..."

You began to tune out Mr. Akihiro, not caring too much about the announcement. You stared out the window near your seat, daydreaming about random things.

Running out of things to daydream about, you finally decided to listen to Mr. Akihiro, hoping the rest of this "announcement" would reduce your undying boredom.

"Everyone, please welcome Keisuke Chikara." Mr. Akihiro asked, not showing any enthusiasm through his voice nor his expression.

Who the hell is 'Keisuke Chikara'?

A tall boy walked into the classroom. He has these dull, yet captivating yellow eyes and soft, pale skin. His ravenette hair was messy but added to his charm. He seemed bored or tired of being here. He made eye contact with you. His dull yellow hues locking with your (eye color) ones. You quickly averted your eyes to your desk and sighed in disappointment at your awkwardness.

"I'm Keisuke Chikara, as you should know, and I am seventeen years old." His deep voice rang in your ears, sending shivers down your spine. It's nothing like Oikawa's. Iwaizumi's voice is low but this is just plain scary. You thought to yourself.

"Okay, thank you for that Introduction, Keisuke-san. Please sit behind (Surname)-sanㅡ (Surname)-san, please raise your hand." Doing as told, you raised your hand and gave Keisuke an awkward smile once his eyes met yours, once again. Keisuke's expression stayed the same as he focused his gaze on the seat behind you.

"Alright, today we'll be covering..."

You felt a tap on your shoulder and out of instinct, you turned to face your attention behind you. To your surprise, you see Keisuke giving you a small smile. "Yo," he said, sending you a charming smile.

"H-hi..." you mentally curse yourself and your social awkwardness.

"Since I'm new, wanna be friends?" He asked excitedly. Before you could answer, Mr. Akihiro walked up to you. "Well, (Surname)-san, you want to be social today, is that it? Might as well put it to use; show Keisuke-san around the school and all the jazz." He ordered, adjusting his glasses and sighing, again, before returning to the front of the class.

You heard the giggles that erupted in the classes. Your cheeks flared pink and you let your head fall onto the desk.

~~~~~

"Class dismissed." Mr. Akihiro said. All at once, the students got up and ran out of the classroom, some ready for lunch, others rushing to their next class. You packed your things and began to walk out of the classroom.

"(Surname)-san!"

You turned around as you heard your name being called. Your eyes met Keisuke's and he broke the contact by giving you a closed-eye smile. "Show me around, will ya?"

"I don't have a choice, do I?" You deadpanned. Keisuke smiled and began walking ahead of you. You quickly caught up to him, "So, right here is─"

"Sweetie-chan!~" Oikawa cut you off as he walked towards you. Keisuke snickered, "Your given name is Sweetie?"

You sent Keisuke a glare before correcting him. "No, my given name is (Name), that's just some weird nickname Oikawa gave me."

"Yeah, okay."

Oikawa finally caught up to you and Keisuke. He fell into step next to you and slung his arm around your shoulders. "Who's this, Sweetie-chan?"

"What? Oh! This is Keisuke Chikara, he is a new transferee in my Modern Japanese class."

"Who're you? Aren't you a third-year?" Keisuke asked out of curiosity.

"I'm Oikawa Tōru, and yes I am a third-year! I am also Sweetie-chan's boyfriend, nice to meet you, Kei-chan!" Oikawa held out his hand which Keisuke took.

"Please don't call me that," Keisuke said in a monotone voice.

A silence engulfed you and the third and second-year males. It caused you to be uncomfortable, so you decided to break it. "Wanna help me show Keisuke-san around, Oikawa?" You ask.

Oikawa turned his attention to you and flashed you a smile. "Uh-uh, I'm okay. I have practice anyway. Bye-bye Sweetie-chan!" Oikawa said cheerfully as we walked away

You sighed and continued your tour.

"Uh-uh, I'm okay. I have practice anyway. Bye-bye Sweetie-chan!" Oikawa said cheerfully as we walked away. As soon as his back faced you, his smile faltered, but he quickly put his grin back on his face, at least until he found Iwaizumi.

These feelings he had for you were rather annoying. He'd stare at you often and get flustered easily. And now, he was getting jealous because you had to show around a transferee, who was a boy

He's handsome too... Oikawa thought. No homo.

When Oikawa entered the changing room, he immediately saw Iwaizumi and began to complain about his problems.

"I don't like him, Iwa-chan! He brings bad ju-ju." Oikawa said, crossing his arms over his chest.

"Why do you care about who she hangs out with? Your relationship isn't real, so there's no point in worrying." Iwaizumi said, pulling his gym uniform on.

Oikawa felt a pang in his chest. Of course, he knew their relationship wasn't real, he knew it all too well, but that didn't mean he needed— no, wanted to be reminded of that fact. "Th... that's not the point, Iwa-chan," Oikawa mumbled.

"Don't tell me— have you fallen for her, Trashykawa?" Iwaizumi asked, raising his brow at Oikawa.

"No! I... I don't know. And I don't think this is just an attraction, Iwa-chan! They're all the same feelings from when I fell in love with her."

Iwaizumi shook his head, "You really are hopeless."

"Iwa-chan! That's so mean!" Oikawa whined.

"You'll figure it out."

Oikawa let a genuine smile graced his lips. "Thanks, Iwa-chan."

"Now hurry up or I'll knock your teeth out."

"Iwa-chan, why?!"
