E Is For Enemy

Monster attacks, missing students and the shockingly gruesome discovery of an evil corporation doesn't sound romantic in the slightest, yet while fighting through this mystery, two junior high students inexplicably find themselves being drawn closer and closer together.

Gakushuu Asano, the smartest kid in school and the principals son, hates Karma Akabane with all his mind. Which he should, given their rivalry. But with his heart, Asano can't deny he has feelings other than hatred for the violent, arrogant but talented E Class student.

Karma Akabane, the baddest kid in school and the top student in his assassination classroom, loves to tease Gakushuu Asano with all his heart. Which makes sense, given the way they interact when no one is watching. But with his mind, Karma can't deny he has feelings that he can't seem to figure out for the prestigious, respectable but childish principals son.

"Or," I took an intimidating step closer. "We could make a bet."

He scoffed. "When will you learn I don't make dumb bets with people like you?"

"Whoever surprises the other three times first wins, and the loser has to do whatever the winner says." I said, grinning.

"Surprise how?" He crossed his arms, but I was glad he was actually taking it into consideration.

"In any way. Not like jump scares, though. Like, just by doing something surprising that the other person wasn't expecting. Revealing something shocking." I said.

He regarded my offer. "And how will we know if the other person was surprised or not?"

"We're both men of our words, are we not?"

I held out my hand. "So, do we have a deal?"

He smirked and grabbed my hand and we shook. "Fine with me."

"You're going to regret this bet, Akabane."

"I'll never regret making you wear a maid outfit, Shuu." I winked.
