Chapter 7 - RIVAL IN LOVE

Monday.

Haru woke up pretty early. He then went to the bathroom to wash himself, brushed his teeth and combed his hair. He went downstairs to eat breakfast. Breakfast consisted of rice, miso soup, grilled fish and some pickled vegetables. Haru then bid farewell to his parents and went to board a bus.

....

Fukuoka Prefectural High School.

When Haru arrived, he saw Sakamoto and Takamura chatting on the side. He then walked towards them and went to his seat. Just as Haru sat on his chair, he heard his female classmates greeting the president which is Akatsuki. He then looked towards the direction of the door and saw Akatsuki coming in.

"Good morning president," a female classmate said.

"Good morning everyone." Akatsuki replied while smiling. She then looked where Haru was sitting and the pair of eyes met. She then removed her gaze towards him while Haru did the same.

"Hey Haru, what happened to the both of you?" Takamura said on the side.

"What do you mean?" Haru asked confusingly.

"Miss president and you went to the rooftop right? You two have been the topic for a week now. Are you in a relationship?" Takamura asked.

"Are you jealous?" Sakamoto on the other side asked Takamura while laughing. Clearly mocking him.

"Do you want a fight?" Takamura asked Sakamoto.

"Hell yeah!" Sakamoto replied.

The two of them fought while Haru was on the side laughing at them. Haru then threw a glance at Akatsuki who was talking with her friends. He saw her laughing charmingly, he was admiring her when she also threw a glance at Haru. The two eyes met again, Haru then just smiled at her.

The bell ranged.

....

The day went by just like that. Just as Haru was preparing to leave the classroom, he saw Akatsuki walking at the back of the school with another man. Without a doubt, it was Atsuhi; the man who kept finding trouble for Akatsuki so that she can become her boyfriend. It was also the guy who made them kiss each other at a restaurant.

Haru decided to follow the two of them. Haru then hid behind a tree which was pretty close to the two of them. The distance was close so he can hear the two talking.

....

Just when Akatsuki was leaving school, she saw Atsuhi with chocolates and flowers on his hand. She tried her best to spot Haru, but he wasn't there. She then tried to avoid Atsuhi but was still spotted.

"Atsuki! this is for you." Atsuhi said while smiling at her.

"No thanks," Akatsuki said coldly.

"Can we have a talk?" Atsuhi asked.

"I'm not free," Akatsuki replied.

"Do you want me to tell my dad to cancel the business agreement between our parents? Atsuhi said while smiling lustfully.

"I'all give you 5 minutes. Let's go to the back, so that no one can see me with you." Akatsuki replied then walked towards the back of the school without caring for Akatsuki.

When the two arrived at the back. Atsuhi suddenly held Akatsuki's hand.

"Please! Be my girlfriend!" Atsuhi said while tightly gripping her hand.

"Bastard! Let go! How many times do I have to tell you? I already have a boyfriend." Akatsuki said angrily.

"Boyfriend? That little rascal? Maybe he can't even afford a single decent meal. If you get with him, your life will be ruined. While I, I can give you all the things you want." Atsuhi mockingly said.

"Let go of me!" Atsuhi shouted. Just as when she was about to shout again; he saw Haru peeking at a tree.

"Haru-kun! he's harrassing me! Help!" Akatsuki shouted at the direction of Haru.

"Oh crap! She found me. What am I gonna do? Hai, guess i'll help her." Haru thought in his mind. He then decided to pop out.
