"...i-i-is that who I think it is!?"
I nodded and showed him more pictures of Lyde. "Yeah, it's the real one that you're looking for."
His eyes widened, followed by his cheeks suddenly glowing a bright shade of red. "BUT WHY IS HE DRESSED UP AS A FEMALE STUDENT!?"
"Shouldn't the reason be obvious?" I smiled, Lyde probably would be so embarassed to know about this.
"N-No way!" Nay's face was screaming that he couldn't believe it.
"Uh-huh. It is."
"I THOUGHT YOU WERE HIS TWIN 'BROTHER'!"
"Oi, quiet down will you?" If Keto or Ace was around here, they might have figure out my true identity because of this loud mouth idiot. Nay's such an idiot... Lyde's an idiot too... all his friends are idiots... all of them are ridiculously idiots!!
"A-A girl!? His twin girl!? Why!?" It looked like he had a lot of questions to ask, and so I took the opportunity. "I don't mind filling you in, though it'll cost 'ya a little."
"FINE!" He grabbed my arm again and looked so determined. "TELL ME EVERYTHING! EVERYTHING!!" He dragged me out of school and brought me to a cafe. So that's how I got a free meal out of Lyde's friend.
"Waaah!~ Desserts are the best!" I said after taking a bite from the cupcake he bought for me.
"You've got what you want, so start talking!" Geez, is he in a hurry?
"Alright, in exchange for this then I'll tell you. Let me start from the beginning, so it all happened when..." then I started at the very start of how it all came to this, though I didn't say it all. There were things that has got to be kept a secret.
"Woah... I never knew Lyde has this kind of side."
"I know right? He's such a selfish prick." He's probably one of the worst guy alive for making his sister fight for his stead.
"Other than that, I gotta say... you're pretty amazing that you were able to keep up with the gang life 'til now."
"It wasn't that difficult. I was training for martial arts with my father before, and it really came in handy."
"It's also amazing how you get to deceive the gang for quite a while. Aren't you worried that you might get exposed?" I recalled the time when Ren and Keto saw me with Cain the other day. It was definitely nerve wrecking to have them see my true self, but Keto didn't brought it up earlier so I think I'm fine.
"Nah, I don't think they'll figure it out." I'll quit the gang before that could happen anyway.
"Then... why did you tell me all this? Weren't you denying everything I said earlier? Why did you suddenly decide to open up to me?? " Nay continued to ask.
I knew he'll ask this as well. "Because I think I can trust you with lending me a hand while we're still in this kind of situation. You're Lyde's friend, right? Helping me with stuff here at school won't be so different from helping Lyde."
"And what makes you think I'll help you?"
I smirked and pulled another card off my sleeve. "I'll send you the pictures earlier—"
"DEAL." Well that was easy...
___
Keto's pov
Such ashame that my day had to be wasted sitting at class. That damn woman is such a control freak. Lyde's a jerk too, he should've helped me escape from that woman. I'll definitely get him for this later. "Keto! You're here!" Ash greeted as I got inside Ren's apartment.
"Hey. So what does Ren have to say? Suddenly calling a meeting here is a pain. I've got some place to be at." I was going to search for Lyde and beat the hell out of him for what he did earlier, but Ren just had to disrupt my plan.
"It'll be a quick announcement, the boss is still going against Jin right now."
"What!? They're still playing video games?" I can't believe how childish they are sometimes. Ren would always play those video games with Jin most of the time, they're pretty much addicted to it. Though it's impressive that our unbeatable boss badly wants to beat Jin who never lost at video games.
"Don't be impatient, it'll be over—"
"DAMN IT, JIN!!" That was Ren's voice. He probably got beaten down by Jin again.
"—oh, they must be done now."
Then as we headed to his room, Jin and Lexi were laughing at the pissed Ren. "You should've listened to me! Now you lost to Jin again." Said Lexi.
"Why should I even listen to someone like you? You never even played video games like we do."
"Hey! I bet you'll lose if you play against me too."
"Like hell I'd lose to you! If I win, you gotta run naked downtown!"
"Fine, if I win, you shave your head fucking bald!—"
"Will you two stop wasting my time and start the shitty meeting already!?" I yelled. And they finally stopped their bullshits.
"Ehem. I apologize if I took some of your precious time..." Ren sarcastically said as he glanced at me. "...I'd like to announce something important."
He suddenly had this arrogant expression on his face, and I can feel that this is going to be some serious shit. "Big changes are coming to the gang. We'll be having a reformation, and choose a member that is qualified to become the fourth leader."
A new fourth leader!?
