Summary: The almighty Sakurai Sho was the perfect student in Sora High-school. He was rich, smart, and hot. All girls in school were falling at his feet even though everybody knew about his playboy lifestyle. Aiba Masaki was a nice student, everyone wanted to be his friend. Sho and Aiba’s behaviors looked so different from one another. But you can’t judge the book by its cover, right?
Sho`s POV
My eyes almost popped out when I saw him standing in front of me, smiling. All the feelings I had for him - love, passion, hate, disgust - merged into one confusing feeling and crushed each other. I wanted to hug him and kiss him, but I wanted to curse and yell at him as well. I loved and hated him at the same time…
I must use my brain instead of my heart. I knew that my heart belongs to him already, all of it. It hadn’t changed even if he had hurt me like hell. He didn’t understand my feelings at all, how much I loved him and how hurt I was because of his actions. Well… he didn’t even know about them.
I must free my mind from the feelings I have for him. I changed my expression before I answered him. I could feel how I almost spluttered out unrealistic words like “I love you”, “How could you hurt me this much”, “Why did you do that?”, “Do you do that with random guys…? Or is he your boyfriend…?” I swallowed all those words and opened my mouth, “What do you want?” I asked him coldly. That was right…I finally used my brain. His smile disappeared from his lips.
“Nothing…” He stared straight in my eyes. I turned my head, I’m losing, I couldn’t win if I kept looking in his eyes. I avoided this ‘who-can-stare-longer’ game to keep my feelings calm.
That`s why Nino had talked to me yesterday. I had a memory flashback of previous day when Nino had come to my house while I was sleeping… Okay…While I dreamed about Aiba…
***
He sat down on my sofa and waited for me while I got myself off in bathroom. He smirked when he saw me walking out of the bathroom.
“What is it?” I asked him, acting like he hadn’t caught me dreaming about something perverted earlier that day.
He laughed hard, “You`re so mad because I disturbed your sleeping or your dream…?” he asked teasing.
“Stop it, lets go directly to the point,” I warned him.
“Sho-kun… I really do offer to you to stop this game… We can stop Jun-kun and Oh-chan now… But not in the middle of the game…” he said in serious tone.
“I said ‘No’, I thought you`re excited about this game…?”
“I am, but I won’t play with the feelings you have for him, I thought you just had a crush on him… But I was wrong, wasn’t I….?”
“I don’t have any special feelings for--”
“Don’t lie to me,” he cut my words off,” You changed your mind so suddenly, what happened? I was worried…” he stared at me. I tried to avoid it, refusing to answer.
“I know about your feelings and I know Aiba Masaki better that you might think…” I could feel jealousy dominating my mind when I heard he knew Aiba Masaki very well.
“And you still think he is an interesting boy…?” I asked. He nodded.
“I can tell what ‘interesting’ means to me… I can tell you about every side of him that you don’t know about…” he offered and smiled at me.
“I don’t want to hear it.” What was Aiba’s secret? That he is a slut? That he sucked other guy’s cock in the bathroom? I knew all of it already!!!
“It’s your choice…” he smiled at me again, “So you won’t stop this game…?” he questioned. I shook my head.
“Okay then… I have to go home Sho-kun… My new game is waiting…” he smiled widely.
He stood up and looked at me, then spoke again “I think… Thinking over your decision in fresh air will be good for your health Sho-kun…” his smile devilish.
“What is that supposed to mean…?” I asked, clueless.
“Nothing… Just random thought…” He smiled and walked out of my room. Thinking about it a bit more I concluded that maybe Nino was right… Maybe I do need some space and fresh air. I skipped all my classes and went to the roof.
~~~~~~~~~~~~*******~~~~~~~~~~~~
Now I knew why exactly he thought that fresh air would be good for my health. He had planned this all from the start…Who is he? A cupid? Or a foe? Or maybe just someone who loves to watch this game…?
I turned my head back, facing Aiba. “If you want me to shut my mouth about what happened in the toilet, you have my word,” I kept my tone cold.
“No… I don’t care about that…” he kept staring at me intensely. He couldn’t not care about that! He could easily broke someone’s heart, it wasn’t even just about me, he was so popular for heaven`s sake.
“You can’t not care about that…”
“You`re so nice Sakurai-san,” he smiled again.
“Don’t get me wrong,” I said quickly, I couldn’t let him know my real feelings.
“I’m not…” he answered. I couldn’t control my heartbeat when I saw his smile. I tried to prevent myself from running and hugging him. I clutched my fists until I felt how my hands started to hurt.
“Then what…?” I was so mad at him.
“I don’t really understand what I feel…,” he confessed, “I just wanted to talk to you… If you’d ask me why… Maybe I want to apologize…”
“No need to do that,” I answered.
“I know,” he smiled, “but I couldn’t stop myself from coming here after I got to know that you’re always here… From Ninomiya-san…” Hmmm… So I was right…Nino…
“I always wondered… Maybe we could’ve been friends if we’d met in different situation…”
“We couldn’t be friends even if we’d met in different situation…” I answered softly. I’d never been his friend and I didn’t want to be his friend. I couldn’t be his friend… My feeling towards him wasn’t ‘friends’.
“I agree…” he nodded. He didn’t understand… I heard the bell ringing, lunch time was over.
He smiled at me, “I hope we can talk again sometime… Maybe under better circumstances… I`m sorry for disturbing you, Sakurai-san…”
“No problem,” I answered and he smiled at me. He walked back and closed the door. I took a deep breath and calmed myself down. It was so difficult… I couldn’t to talk to him properly… Even under those better circumstances…
~~~~~~~~~~~~*******~~~~~~~~~~~~
I didn’t understand what was going on in my mind. I didn’t understand why I kept loving him, even when I knew his real face. Am I really a masochist…? The one thing I did know however was that I couldn’t help myself and refrain from following him again. I waited for him after classes had finished. I made sure there was no car waiting for me in front of the school gates. I waited for him, but after 1 hour there wasn’t any sign he had came or would come out of the school. What is he doing? It`s not Monday or Wednesday, he should be leaving school after classes are over. I walked back to the school, but hid myself when I saw Jun walking out of the gate. Why am I hiding…? It`s just Jun…
I stepped out of my hiding place and walked toward school gates when I saw Aiba coming out the gates. I sighed and returned to my hiding place.
This was my first time following him after school. I`d never done it before, and I didn’t know why I was trying to do it now. I walked behind him, kept my distance from him far enough so he wouldn’t know I was stalking him.
He went into a konbini, I stood in front of the store. I saw him coming out of a room and he was wearing a uniform… So… He is working at a konbini…
I sat down in front of the store, choosing a place that he couldn’t see and kept my eyes on him. I could see him smiling to a customer, talking with his co-workers, I thought I`ll follow him everyday from now on. I found my innocent Aiba again…
I hadn’t been checking my watch and the next thing I knew - Aiba had already finished his work. It was dark already but I hadn’t even moved from my place. I stood up and thought that maybe… If I’d be his boyfriend I wouldn’t give him my permission to work in such place.
I followed him again, imagining that if I’d be his boyfriend I`d be walking beside him maybe holding his hand and latter giving him a good-night kiss. If I would have had some courage back in my first year of this school, after he had broken up with his girlfriend, would it have changed something between us…?
He turned right and stepped into a house. I could hear him closing the door… Not so long after, someone switched on the light in a room on the second floor. I knew it was him… So I decided to wait until he’d fall asleep. I called my driver to pick me up after I’d be sure he’s sleeping. After 20 minutes he turned off the light, I flipped my hand phone open and called my driver. I waited around 5 minutes and a car stopped in front of me. I looked back at the window, “Oyasu--”
BAM!
What was that? I heard someone shouting. I was so afraid, What was that…? What happened…? I couldn’t hold back anymore, I was ready to run and wanted to break the door, when I saw Aiba coming out and running away fast. I opened my car’s door and got in.
“Follow him,” I ordered to my driver. What’s going on Aiba…? Are you alright…?
He kept running, I didn’t know where exactly he was heading but I followed him from behind. He stopped to a traffic light and waited till the light changed to red… Or at least that was what I thought…
He kept standing there even when the light changed to red, all people around him were moving, walking to cross the street. I opened the door and moved closer to him. I didn’t care if he would question me because of my sudden appearance, I just wanted to know what happened…
I was getting closer and closer…
Next the things happened so fast. The light changed into green and all cars moved forward, Aiba walked forward slowly. I didn’t have time to think, I run and pulled him roughly by his arm back to the sidewalk. His body crushed into mine and we both fell to the ground. People were gathering around us.
I pulled him so he would face me, ”WHAT ARE YOU DOING??” I shouted.
