So it was the next day and walking to school I anticpated the introduction to the boy who was close to my two best freinds. I heard he was handsome, smart, rich, and cool. He was engaged to Hime and like a brother to Fuji. I wonder what he was like for everyone to like him so much? What if he actually didn't have feelings for Hime and it was really just a marriage alliance to him? No, I cant let him hurt her. I have to make sure he is a good man for her. If he isn't I'm blacklisting him. She raised her fist, nodding in determination. Hime and Fuji waiting by the gates if the school, saw their friends lost in war thoughts. They laughed when she suddenly had fire in her eyes and pumped her fist. They shook their heads at the odd actions of the girl, wondering what she was thinking about. Fuji however had a guess at what she was so determined about.
"Whats up with you?" Asami smiled at the question
"I'm excited to meet your husband obviously." Hime blushed rolling her eyes. "His not my hsuband." Asami giggled, teasing her further. "Right, fiance I meant, sorry." Hime looked at her and sighed st the teasing, playing it cool she started walking ahead of the two. "We're late to class, lets go." Fuji smiled at Asami whose joy was a rare sight for him. "You really that exicted? Akita really is a lucky guy. Has the entire school waiting for his arrival." Asami looked at Fuji who had a sulking expression, jealousy evident in his eyes. She smiled understanding his remark but not ready to confront it. "What envious of your brother? Just walk next to him and bask in his glory." He scoffed at my teasing remark, "whose envious of that ice box." she laughed at his insult towards his friend, "ice box?" Fuji smiled, dazed by her laugh which was enchanting. Snapping back into reality he replied quickly to cover up his embarrassment. "Yeah the only thing he's good for is summertime when the air conditioner at home is broken." She burst out laughing at his comment. She could imagine such a scene between the two, one of which she hadn't even met yet. Hime looked back at the two occupied by their conversation after hearing Asamis loud laughter. Curious as to what was so funny to make the usually calm girl laugh so uncharacteristically, she turned around and asked them. "What are you two laughing about?" The both immediately put on serious expressions and straightened up. "nothing, just small talk." Hime narrowed her eyes at their suspicious behavior, "Mhm, small talk." Fuji supported besides her. Hime let them go thinking it was just some sweet nothings being whispered between the two 'lovers'. The trio walked inside the class waiting for firsy period to start so that they can finally see Akita.
The teacher walked into class a few minutes after the bell rang. The class immediately grew quiet as they anticipated the announcement. Everyone knew that the 'tranafer' student was in this class. "Wow, you guys haven't even been this serious during exams season." The class chuckled at the teachers remark. "well since you guys already know I won't keep the suspense up any longer, Akita come in!" Himes heart started to race, just like most of the girls in the classroom. It was different for her though it wasn't a momentary infatuation it had been love for her. But thinking back to the day theee years ago when he left without so much as a goodbye to her hurt her. She thought she had gotten over him but since news of his return she had known it wouldn't be so easy to forget him. Especially now that he would be in front of her everyday. The trio lost in their own thoughts didn't remember to look up until they heard the gasps of the girls in the classroom. Looking towards the boy that strode confidently into the classroom she saw a man tall, dark, and handsome. His cold, arrogant aura along with his handsome features that were tuned into a pocket face she fibally understood Fujis words. The man really was a living ice box, she could feel the temperature drop as soon as she walked in. She had to admit he was breathtaking though. However her heart didn't beat for him like the rest of the girls. For in her heart, unknowingly, someone had occupied that space. Akita walked to front center and stood to next to the teacher. "Please introduce yourselves, though I'm sure most already know you." the teacher said to Akita. Akita stood calmly, not midning the states burning holes into him. "Im Akita." The girls swooned at hsi breif reply commenting on his sexy voice and cool manner. The boy sweatdropped not understanding how that short and arrogant manner was cool in the eyes of these starstruck girls. Fuji and Asami deadpanned, Asami beganning to realize how accurate Fujis description of him and his personality was. Hime sighed knowing he had grown handosme but his habit of not being expressive had not changed a bit. Hanging out with him was going to be really tough. It was only Fuji who had understood the ice prince of the school and had been able to be so close to him. Hime had only been able to talk to him because of the relationships of their families. The teacher told him to sit down next to the empty seat behind Hime. Asami and Fuji were both in the back, sitting side by side on the left two seats by the window. They stared at eachother and smiled. They both had not missed the brief stare that Akita and Hime had given eachother. They knew that a man like Akita wasn't one to pay attention to people he didn't acknowledge. His stare at Hime had a glint of emotion in it but it passed by so quickly they both didn't know what emotion it was exactly. However they both knew as they exchanged glances that their plan was on for the afternoon. "Remember to ask him out after school. We will take the bus downtown and hang in the shopping center, ok?" Asami reminded Fuji, whispering quietly as to not be caught. "Don't worry, I'll tell him after class." He reassured the girl. His soft voice and the breath touched her ears as they were leaned in close while whispering. She shivered a little, trying to hide her blush she turned her head away. Fuji wondering what happened tapped her shoulder. "Whats wrong? Are you not feeling good?" He looked at her worried, noticing the red ears. She tried to calm her flsutered heart and only when she had calmed the blush on her face did she reveal her expression. She said calmly to him with a slight smile, "I'm fine, don't worry." He looked at her not convinced but let it go anyways. While the next couple sitting a few seats over in front had an awkward and tense atmosphere surrounding him. Hime wanted to say something to him but she couldn't find the words. It was like their was a knot in her throats. She had not even realized how hurt she had been by his indiffrence towards her until he had returned. She refused to be the first one to break the silence. She wanted an apology from him, but knowing in his eyes they didn't have any relationship she didnt hold any expectations. The first few period past by soon and it was finally lunch time. Fuji and Asami dragged the two over and they sat with four desks pushed together. Asami and Fuji didn't miss the heavy atmosphere that surrounded the two. They sighed internally, this cupid mission was really going to be tough.
