"You think that they're going to make a move against us?" A man asks leaning on a desk. He wears a scowl on his middle aged face. His black eyes show displease when hearing Reiji explain to him our theory.
With half closed eyes I look up at him. "We just said that."
The man looks at me with more displeasure showing on his face.
"Okay. Stop it." Misses Carter says stopping the man's next words. "Adira we know you mean good will but we won't go into hiding."
"Mother is right. If what you are saying were to happen it would be more of a reason to fight the one that is trying to bring you and us down. We are long time friends." Darcy, Daniel's older sister agrees with Misses Carter. She looks like the younger version of Misses Carter and the female version of Daniel.
Darcy wears a dark grey jumpsuit and with her black hair and dark eye color, her fair skin is even more noticeable.
My eyebrows lower a bit and I nod. I stand up before speaking, "All I can tell you is to prepare for it though our plan at the beginning was to tell you to go into hiding until we found and stopped our attacker. We'll be leaving."
Reiji looks at Mister Carter with a frown before sending polite smiles to the three females in the room.
"I'll walk you out." Diana offers and runs out before anyone can object.
I walk into the elevator with both Reiji and Diana on either side of me. Because the elevator is for VIP's only we are the only ones in it.
"Sorry about Father. He still doesn't permit Danny to hang out with Ren so having this would be an excuse for Danny to break ties." Diana says leaning on her heels.
"It's okay. Edith wouldn't allow us to hang out with Ren if he wasn't Kiyoshi's son and Carter never liked the Kitamura's or the Yukimura's." Reiji hurriedly shakes his head.
I catch Diana slightly smile through the reflective elevator door.
"I'll leave first. I'll tell the headmaster that you were held up with personal issues." I say before teleporting to school.
Reiji and Diana blink confused before looking at each other which both smile. They talk about Diana becoming a police officer.
**********
I walk into my classroom and take my seat just as the bell rings. I look around to see that some of the female students in my class are missing and not even their bags are hanging on their desk.
I turn around to look at Ren who is reading a history book. "Ren where's the girls?"
Ren looks up confused. His eyes widen. "Chikara! You... you."
"Yes me?" I ask confused about what frightened him.
"You're here." Ren whispers like it's the most unnatural thing that has happened in his life.
"Yes. They kicked me out." I nod slowly acting sad before I smile. "So, where are the girls?"
Ren looks around before his eyes land on the empty desks. "Oh. They haven't been here since yesterday. They all took leave saying they got allergic reactions to makeup."
"Oh." I nod slowly. "They should've just used moisturizer."
Ren shrugs. "People always want to look good. Though I don't know why they got it and not the boys. They use the same makeup."
My eyes furrow. "That is weird."
"So is talking in class. Out!" Teacher Sasaki pulls us out of our conversation.
"Yes, Sasaki-Sensei." We say bitterly and go to stand outside for out punishment.
I lean against the wall with my hands crossed over my chest.
"Are you mad?" Ren asks seeing my pose.
"No." I shake my head. "I'm glad that I don't have to listen to him go on about history thinking that they know what really happened hundreds of years ago when they only have bits and pieces."
"Oh." Ren nods.
I turn my head when hearing footsteps. Two girls wearing skirts and their hair in swishy ponytails walk towards us. Both are taller than me which isn't hard seeing as I'm so small. I look at their legs to see that when walking their legs goes in front of the other in a straight line.
"Mhm." I hum when seeing it. It's not that I've seen it before (Aria does it a lot) it's just that I've never thought that people could walk with such symmetry.
The girls soon make it in front of us and flick their ponytails.
"Are you Chikara Blackwell?" The one with a straighter ponytail asks.
"That was the name I was given, yes." I reply blankly.
The one with a curlier ponytail glances up and down before scoffing.
"What's so funny?" Ren asks thinking that the scoff was a laugh.
The curlier ponytail sneers, "You can't compare with us. Orion Stone will be ours."
I crane my neck to the side slowly to look at them properly. "Orion isn't anyone's."
"We will make him mine." The straighter haired one says.
I nod putting my lips together. "So you're going to share?" I ask looking back up at them with innocent eyes.
"You!" The girls both raise their voice before remembering that Teacher Sasaki is teaching our class.
"In any case he won't be yours." The curlier haired girl says.
"I don't want him." I say with a toothy smile.
The girls scoff as if they don't believe it. "As if anyone don't want such a handsome and rich heir."
"Sure I want him but not the way you do for if I did, it would be incest." I say coldly before flipping my fringe and striding away.
Both the two girls and Ren stand in the hallway confused.
"Chikara-san don't walk away!" Sasaki yells when seeing my figure walk away.
I turn around and slightly tug at my lower eyelid while poking out my tongue. "Catch me."
"Detention." He yells.
I shrug my shoulders while turning around and striding away.
'Damn he ruined my sassy moment.' I cry in my head.
Astrid rolls her eyes.
