The crowd claps before dispersing.
I walk over to where Nicholas is leaning against the wall.
"What are you doing here?" I ask fiercly.
"Aren't you happy to see your brother?" Nicholas asks.
"I would be if we met somewhere else. How'd you find me anyway?" I ask.
"I didn't find you I was simply just offered a job here and I agreed. Who would've known that you'd here?" Nicholas sighs.
"Cut the crap Nicho. How'd you find me?"
"The old doctor and I go way back so when he told me that there was a new student who looked like Mother I knew it was you and traded places with him" Nicholas answers honestly.
"Does the others know?"
"No"
"Good" I nod before walking away.
"See you around Adi!" Nicholas calls after me. I hold my middle finger high in the air. "Aish! Spoilt brat" Nicholas says while smiling.
'Do remember, brother. We have an unbreakable bond" My voice mockingly says inside his head.
Nicholas sighs before walking out of the assembly hall.
I walk back to class and take my seat.
"Congratulations Abe-san, Tanaru-san, Yamashita-san and Chikara-san for being chosen" Sasaki says.
"What kind of competition will it be?" I ask forgetting what the principal said.
"Survivor" Sasaki answers.
"Ah sh*t" I curse.
"Detention" Sasaki points at me.
Lunch starts and I'm made to kneel outside the classroom.
"Hahaha" Nicholas joyfully laughs seeing me kneel.
"Wait until 30 minutes is over and we'll see who'll be laughing then" I threaten him.
"I'd rather not but keep up the good work" Nicholas pats my head before walking away.
"B*stard" I curse at him.
"Thank you" He waves goodbye happily.
"Do you know each other?" Ren asks from inside our classroom.
"Unfortunately" I sigh.
"How?"
"Do you remember when I said I have 14 siblings?" I ask.
"Yes" Ren replies.
"Well he's one of them"
"Eh!?" Ren shouts.
"He's my 8th brother"
"You look nothing alike" Ren says.
"11 of my siblings look like their father while the other 4 take after our mother" I explain.
"So he took after your father" Ren nods his head in understanding.
"Are you going to do the survivor competition?" I ask changing the topic.
"I think so" Ren answers.
"Okay"
"Why?"
"Oh nothing" I say. we don't talk for the 30 minute punishment. "Well I'm done" I say while standing up. "Ah!" I have no feelings in my legs.
"Chikara!" Ren shouts running out of the classroom and catches me. "Are you alright?" He asks.
"No feelings in my legs" I say in Ren's arms.
"Oh" Ren nods his head.
We stay in this position until I can feel my legs again.
"Thanks Ren" I say looking at him.
"Oh, uh, yeah" Ren walks away with red cheeks.
I frown confused before shrugging my shoulders and walking away. I walk straight to the school infirmary. Nicholas shoots up from his seat when seeing me walk through the door.
"What can I do for you pretty sister?" He asks kindly. He even bows a bit.
I nod my head while licking my lips in a menacing way. "Well first off you can stop with this" I point at him.
"Of course" Nicholas says standing straight.
"Now why are you here?" I ask taking a seat.
"Chris told me to find you in case you run into trouble since Henry doesn't keep a watch on me" Nicholas says with a poker face.
"Mm" I hum while unrapping a yellow hard candy.
"Did you get that from on my desk?" Nicholas asks pointing to the yellow candy.
"So what if I did?"
"I was saving that for later!!" Nicholas complains.
"I'll get you another pack" I say crossing my legs.
"Okay" Nicholas agrees.
"So what do you think about the survivor?" I ask him.
"What about it?" Nicholas asks confused.
"Well I think it's a trap" I pop another candy in my mouth which Nicholas pouts at.
"Why do you think it's a trap?" He asks with admiration.
"Think about it. No one has even thought about holding a survivor game and yet all of a sudden 6 of the richest schools in Japan are competiting. Not just that but I was given a murder case and guess what I found out?" I say.
"What did you find?" Nicholas asks.
"The victims are from these 6 schools" I tell him.
"Wah, that's so creepy" Nicholas shivers. "You might be onto something Lil' sis."
"I know and the one who has been doing these crimes have suddenly disappeared"
"Can't you just quit?" Nicholas asks.
"As much as I'd like to quit but I can't" I sigh.
"Why can't you?" Nicholas asks with anticipation.
I lean towards him. "I overheard the principal on the phone with the person who planned this competition and he chose me and for some reason the principal couldn't disagree."
"Wow!" Nicholas exclaims.
"What's your relationship?" a familar voice comes from behind the curtain.
I look over at the curtain. "Nicholas" I whisper in a dangerous voice.
"I forgot he was there" Nicholas whispers while backing away.
"You forgot, huh?" I scoff. I step towards him.
"I really did. Pretty sister please forgive me" Nicholas begs. He takes a step back everytime I take a step forward until he hits the wall.
"Forgive you, ha!" I kick him in the side.
"I'm sorry" Nicholas holds his side.
"Who's the person?" I ask taking a seat.
"Quasar Tanaru" Nicholas answers.
"Quasar!" I exclaim. I open the curtain to see Quasar sitting on the white bed with a blood soaked bandage around his arm. "What are you doing here?" I ask.
"I was going to ask you the exact same thing" Quasar replies.
"What happened to your arm?" I ask.
"I slipped and cut my arm open on the fence" Quasar answers.
"Ouch!" I say looking at his arm.
"Yes it does a hurt a little when YOU'RE NOT TOUCHING IT!" Quasar yelps in pain.
I retract my hands from his wound. "Sorry. Are you still going to do the competition?"
"Yes it's only a small cut that'll heal in a few days" He swings his legs off the bed.
"That's good. I have to get going now, bye" I walk away.
"Hold it" Quasar grabs my arm after a few steps.
'Why you' I say inwardly. "What can I do for you?" I ask politely.
"Sit" Quasar says in a firm voice which I've never heard before.
I take a seat beside him.
"Who are you to each other?" Quasar asks pointing at Nicholas and I.
"Nicholas why haven't you left?" I whisper yell at him.
"Where should I go?" Nicholas whisper yells back.
"You buffoon!" I throw the nearest thing at him which happened to be a bag of chips. "Sorry I'll have those back" I stand up and grab the bag of chips back.
"Now what is your relationship?" Quasar asks.
"It's probably best if you call Quantum here. I don't want to repeat myself" I say
"Okay" Quasar texts his older brother to come.
