I came back to the building where we met, i can see the gaze of the people, gossiping, a Class A student that everyone is jealous at is casually walking ar their territory, some are holding back their selves to attack me, some wants to talk to me but hesitating, so many kinds of desire.
Just because of money.
I eventually reached the floor where the student council are, but the only one i saw outside is a short girl with also cold face and ponytail.
"Are you Reika Heisir."
"I am." I didn't smile, i just show my calm face.
"I see, you can now proceed."
"Thank you."
I continue to proceed upstairs but i saw Aine, my client for Thursday.
"Oh, you're here." I gave a warm smile.
"Y yeah."
She's trembling, is she one of Karui victims.
"Did Karui hurt you."
"He...pushed me when i hid my money, i planned to give Korisu a gift before but because he stole it, i never got a chance too."
"Well, i am here, no need to fear, the student council is near."
She's still hesitant but she approach me even so.
"It's a perfect timing, he will return the money now, and you can buy him a gift during your date so go on, and also, judge him if he deserves to apologize."
We climb the rooftop together and saw that he is still alone together with some student council members.
"Oh, still alone Karui?"
"Yeah"
"Here's your first victim."
"....."
He really looked like apologetic about it.
"Don't let her stay here, it's hot here." He still spoke in a cold voice
"Hai, hai, for a meanwhile, i think i will call them out others first."
"You don't even know who are they."
"Well, it's easy."
"Then go."
"Let's go Aine."
We left the rooftop and return below.
Is it me or someone just following us? Well whatever, i left her and told her that call me if something happens to her.
I enter the student council room and found the secretary in the middle doing paper works.
"Hello little miss."
"Don't call me little miss."
"Oya? Do every members as cold like the three of you?"
"What do you want."
"To announce something."
"Go to the president."
"Thank you."
I knocked the office.
"Pres, i am here."
"Enter."
I opened the door and instantly locked it.
Her facial expression slightly change.
She's been fooled that i am the vice president.
"Aha! Hello miss cold beauty."
"...."
"Oh, your vice president isn't here, then, it makes it much more easier, i would like to announce something so let me use the microphone."
She continue to observe me.
"Ha... It's your fault not locking your door, i thought that you're a rational person since you're cold but i was wrong."
She remained silent.
"Hey, say something, i'm not here to assault you are something."
"How did you do it."
"Oh, maybe because i'm more competent than others?"
I can see it, her arms are stiff, she must be clenching her fist.
"What do you think pres? You can make me a member now."
I sat down on the chair in front of her table.
She then move forward the microphone.
"I don't know what you are scheming, but you will fail now, he will leave the school now."
"We'll see miss president."
I turned on the microphone.
"Ahem, announcement, for those who's been extorted and hurt by Karui Isui, please go to the rooftop."
"Karui Isui will apologize to what he have done and will return all the money he extorted."
I turned off the microphone that the president is trying to grab, she's angry but it's still cool to see her face.
"How dare you imitate my voice."
Her balance is good, the way he tried to grab the remote is definitely a move from grappling, too bad, her anger blinded her.
She forgot that she is in the table.
I retreated and she approached me.
"Hold up, hold up, here's it is, i'm just teasing you, catch."
She catched the microphone and turn it on but there's no voice.
"What did you do."
"Nothing, simple tricks."
"Enough."
She tried opening the door but i cannot let her leave yet.
I blocked her way and she seems fast to notice it, but i already blocked the door.
"What are you doing."
"I need to give him time, and you are the one who will make it shorter."
"Leave."
"No."
She then form a grip to launch it on my jaw but i deflected it.
"Miss cold beauty, don't lose your temper."
"He deserves to be expelled, and i need to punish you for what you are doing, secretary, open this do-"
I pushed her until to her table to gain distance.
"I'm sorry missy, but this is necessary."
"What are you going to do."
"I gave you time to either help me or not right, on Thursday, i will definitely make it sure."
"Ha, privilege guys like you thinking it's like a strategy game ha." She sighed coldly
"I do not, blame your incompetence, you could have do other approach, but at least you tried."
She gripped her hand and her cold face broke again.
"You're calling me an incompetent."
"Yes i am, it doesn't matter how hard work you've try, if you fail to acknowledge your mistakes after you've lost your goal that you think you can do, it's incompetence, you know you've failed, so you are hiding behind that cold face of yours."
She grab my collars so hard that three button pops off.
"What about you ha? Do you think you can-"
I covered her mouth gently.
"I never said i can, didn't i told you that i will help you, you know that you can't keep this cold queen figure of yours as the scholars are being in disadvantage by the so called privileged."
I remove my hand, i'm kind of embarrassed to put my hand on her soft lips.
"... What do help i can offer."
"Not you, we."
"....What we can offer."
"A manpower, and a influence, you are influencial as a cold ice president and we can use that, as for Karui, it's okay, he won't cause trouble, further problems about the aftermath will be solved by me, however, along the way, i will also make you realize that there are other ways to achieve your goal, i won't say that your way of executing it is wrong or i want you to follow my own plan, i will only make you listen and decide your own."
She calmed down a little and think, she slowly lose her grip
"If i listen to you, will it be guaranteed."
"There's no guaranteed future, we can only try."
"If i listen to you, will this school better."
"I will let you judge that."
"... This is why i don't like privilege people like you, but you're the privileged i don't like the most, full of riddles."
She remove her hand on my uniform.
From a tense atmosphere, i lifted it up by returning my cheerful face
"Hai, looks like we are already partners, looking forward to working with you, miss..."
"Call me president, we are only collaborating, you don't need my name."
"Oya, how cold, as expected of the president, i don't know if you are acting mature or not but please, we can still learn and grow, that's why do not refuse happiness, you have hope in your eyes, and i am wondering about your face if you smile, it would be beautiful than you right now."
"I don't want to hear that words coming from a swindler like you." She returned her cold face but her voice this time is monotone.
"Ha, i thought you are just a emo girl trying to be cold, but you actually have a good sense of responsibility despite your ways."
"I don't understand your words."
"It's nothing, well then, i'm off, miss president."
I left the room and everyone is curious about me and even the secretary who's busy at paper work.
"How are you able to last in that room for a long time." She's curiously asking with a stern face
"You're making it sound like dirty-."
Then, she looked at my button and a nail mark on my neck.
She froze for a while.
"Your president is too fierce, i barely make her face change."
And then, the whole room started to gossip, some are embarrassed.
The secretary seems unable to believe what i just said.
"Hey, stop overthinking, don't misunderstand something, i-"
A slam on door behind me was heard by everyone, and it's the ice queen president.
"You keep causing trouble to me even you already left, how can did i even partner with you."
"Your choice of words will make people misunderstand something, and i'm not causing trouble, they-"
SLAM
Another slam on the front door.
"President i- what's happening, and why that bastard is here."
"It's nothing, continue what you are doing, and you....leave now, i can't offer any help for now, here's my number, call me when you already have something on your mind and when we will start."
'Something on your mind? Start?'
'Does president suddenly have an relationship with this transferee?"
"The way you talk don't help, you are only causing misunderstanding."
"What will they misunderstand." It is a question but without a hint of curiosity
"Look at what you did."
"And then." It's still the same, a question of someone who didn't asked
"....Are you really... Ah whatever, i'm going to leave."
"Hey you bastard, what did you do to the president." Said by the vice president.
"I told you, it's a misunderstanding and your president is too naive."
"Leave him alone vice president and report your duty."
"But pres! This guy, what did he-"
"Nothing happened."
Everyone face darkened.
'Nothing happen my ass! That's clearly something hardcore!'
"I'm getting embarrassed here, look, we didn't do anything that you are imagining, your president didn't like what i said and drag my collar that cause the buttons to pop, the scratch marks is also the same."
The atmosphere calmed down but the vice president seems not satisfied.
"Look, we didn't do anything you are imagining okay, that's all."
Then the cold president face xhange when she realized something.
"You pervert..." She narrowed her eyes like she's looking at a scum.
Everyone glared at me, i didn't even know what i did to anger them, are they so guillible to their naive president?
"What the hell." With my stern face i said
