"No..." Ren said with a straight face.
Everyone went quiet before sighing in relief. But for me, I just felt heart broken, But I didn't felt like crying, more like...
"You can't say no!" I said with an enraged expression.
"Well I just did. Is there a problem?" He just kept saying thing to me like he didn't care about my Confession.
I was getting irritated and frustrated at the same time. I grabbed his collar and yelled. "Yes! There's a huge problem! You can't say no to me, especially since I've never really confessed to someone before!"
"Oh that's nice! It's your first time confessing to someone." he said with a poker face. Those words made me feel proud. "Not only is it your first time confessing to someone, you also experienced getting rejected!" He said it with a smile.
I then realised that he reminded me that he rejected me. This made me very angry, but instead of me trying to teach him a lesson Mahiru steps in.
"That's enough Hiyama-kun, your making her highness upset!" she scold. I didn't realised how much pain in the ass it is to ask someone like him out.
I just simply sigh and ask "Look why won't you go out with me?"
"Cause, your just so full of yourself." He said.
"How dare you call her 'Full of herself!'" Mahiru said with a irritated look.
"Look, I don't care about you or you're reputation. I just want to get past my high-school life all on my own without drawing attention to myself, and clearly dating you would draw too much attention." Ren response.
"Well I don't care what you think, no matter how much you reject me, I'll always come back to ask you out!" I turn around and continued. "Good day to you Hiyama-kun." I pout on my way back to my class.
Present time...
'Till this day, no matter how many times he turned me down, I'd still ask him out, cause deep down my old self still loves him. And when Amasawa-Sensei came to our school everyone was stunned by her beauty even Ren-kun. I was so jealous of her, she even got "him" my soon to be fiancé! Amazed by her, and I couldn't even make a single smile on his face by my own presence. Not only she is so beautiful, she's even related to the Amasawa family, the people that owns over millions of yen. Now that I think about it, she does have a very- wait no, and extremely close resemblence to miss Sakura Amasawa, I've only seen her in pictures and I didn't even get the chance to meet her in person, only my parents did during their partnerships.' I continued to think about it and walked back to my class.
Eventually everyone started to stare at me when I walked in, then Hakari walked up to me.
"Hey there Rise! Where have you been?" Hakari asked.
"Oh, Hakari, nothing really... I was just..." I tried to continue but Hakari stop me and nods to show that she understands me.
"Say no more my friend..." She smiles and assures me that I just need to try harder.
This is Hakari Hori. She's one of my bestfriends in this whole academy, and without her I don't think I could've survive in this school as a loner.
"So, how did it go?" Hakari asks.
"Well, I told him about the discussion for this afternoon with my parents." I answered.
"Mmhmm.. And what if he declines the arrangement?" She said.
"Then I guess there's only choice is..." I smirk devilishly and continue. "... To force him into a force engagement." I said then was flicked in the head by Hakari. "Ow" I said in pain while rubbing my forehead.
"Don't be stubborn, but then again that's just who you are." She said dissapointed.
"I know, but what other options do I have?" I ask Hakari.
"Give up." She said simply. "If he's not willing to be with you, then just give up." Hakari said with a serious expression.
'She has a point... But is it even easy to let him go? He's the first person that was genuinely nice to me, and I can't forget that time. That face he made, those tears does not show signs of joy at all, even though he gave a smile, but deep down he's hurt, I don't know who made him like that but I'm willing to find out.' I spoke in thoughts.
"Hey! Rise! Are you listening?" Hakari pulled me back to reality.
I came back to my senses and reply "I am... I just can't let him go, he did something to me that noone could." I said while looking down.
"And that is?" Hakari asks but I just shake my head in not answering her question. "Okay then. Well in any case, you need to let him go, otherwise it would lead to obsession." Hakari said.
While thinking on what she said, I got a weird feeling in my gut saying something like 'I think this has happend.' But I can't quite understand why it's saying that.
Ren's pov:
While classes was over, I decided to text Miku-chan.
'Are you still working?' I ask in text.
'Appearntly... But marking your papers aren't gonna do themselves you know.' Miku replied.
'Well finish up! Cus Rika-nee is asking me to invite you again tonight.' I texted.
Then I heard someone calling me "Hiyama-senpai!" the familiar voice called.
I turn and to my Suprise. It was Shirogane. "Hmm? Shirogane-chan? Did you need something?" I ask her.
"Listen, there's something I want your help with..." She said. "Can we go to the infirmary? I need you to do something for me."
She lead me in the direction of the infirmary.
Miku's pov:
As I finish nearly marking half of the papers for two classes, I stretch and decided that I needed to use the restrooms.
I walked out of the faculty office and saw two familliar faces walking into the infirmary.
'Is that... Shirogane-san and Ren-kun?' I took a closer look and can identify that it's them. 'But why are they still in school? Classes are over so why are they still here?' I decided to stop thinking and just walk up to the infirmary door.
I saw the door slightly open and heard the two of them talking.
"Listen, if you don't want it to be messy then just do it over the sink right there." Ren's voice said.
"I know but, could you be kind and take off my blazer. My body temperature is so hot that I don't think I can take it anymore." Shirogane's voice said.
'Hold on!? What do they mean by all of that?!' I thought and panicked.
"Why can't you do it with it on?" Ren asks.
"Because it might get messy if I got all of it spilled out of my mouth." she said.
"Oh.. Okay then, just open your mouth and just swallow it okay?" Ren said.
'Wait What the hell are they talking about?! Open her mouth and don't spill anything?! These guys need to stop. I can't take it I need to do somthing!' I rushed in with out a second thought.
"Drink the water your choking on the pill!" Ren said while passing her a bottle of water.
Meanwhile I barged in while blushing red with my eyes closed and started to scold them.
"You two this is unacceptable behaviour! I can't belive you two are doing something so lewd and unbecoming of a student, this act will distroy our school's image. And you Ren-kun! How could you do something like this to someone who isn't your girlfriend, I should be the one to do this for you since I'm your girlfriend! Aren't you satisfied with me!?" I said with an embarrassed face and not noticing on my words of choice.
I calmly opened my eyes and notice that the two of them aren't doing anything lewd.
"Amasawa-Sensei!?" the two of them said at the same time.
I sigh in relief but then Shirogane asked a question. "Umm... Sensei, did you just said that your dating Hiyama-senpai?"
I froze and realised on what I said. "Did I?" I tried to play dumb. "Wait, what are you two still doing here? Classes are over." I ask to change the topic, but then she rose up her arm and showed me a pill and bottle of water.
"She's currently sick and I'm helping her, cause SHE can't even do it on her own." Ren said with an enraged tone when he said that word.
"Anyways forget about that! Your trying to change the topic Sensei. I heard that you said that he's your boyfriend?" She looks at me with a serious expression.
I knew that this wouldn't go anywhere, I didn't know how to respond. But Ren decided to speak. "She is my girlfriend, Shirogane-chan."
I panicked when he said that and Shirogane is shocked... No she's more surprised then shocked. "Is that true? Is Amasawa-Sensei really your girlfriend?!" Said Shirogane.
"Yes, and I'm not denying it." Ren said with a straight face.
"Wait what!? Ren-kun are you sure about this?" I ask.
"I mean like, we're suspected by her now and it's kinda pointless to hide it now." Said Ren.
"That's.... True, but what if she tells her friends or other teachers?" I said worried.
"Don't worry she won't... Right?" He turns to her with devilish aura leaking.
"Ye-yeah I won't. My mouth is shield tight." She said and Ren just calms himself. But then Shirogane realised something. "Oh wait, but didn't you had a crush on Nijima-senpai?" Shirogane mentioned.
"Oh that..." Ren looks down as he said that.
'Wait a minute. I'm not his first love? He fell in love with someone before me?' I thought.
"... I don't care about her anymore, she..." as he was about to continue he started to create tears. "... She never really liked me in that way." then he cried.
I didn't know that he had some sort of harsh rejection but as I held him near me and he cried on my chest.
"Well then, if that's how she wants to play with your heart then, I guess she's better off killing herself..." Said Shirogane as she walks towards the door and leave, but before she could fully leave the room, she tells me something. "... You better not break his heart like she did, okay? "she whispered then leaves the room.
A couple minutes later...
"Are you okay now?" I ask the crying Ren.
"I'm fine now." he said as he wipes his remaining tears. "I just didn't meant to break down, but when I thought about her. It just happend." He said as he looks down.
"Did this person, hurt you in anyway? If you don't mind asking that is." I ask.
"I don't mind, but what she said to me really hurt. And I don't really like to talk about it." he said as he breaths in and breaths out. "But I can't keep secrets from you."
Third pov:
Ren Hiyama is suffering from his past, and in order to make sure that his girlfriend does not continue to worry about him, he needs to tell her the truth about his past.
