Chapter 3:
Inoo stood amongst the group of the party where the trio had invited him. He looked around, feeling out of place especially that he was the only one wearing casual clothes. Others are in their tuxedos and gowns, shinning with elegance and beauty. He bit his lower lip and was ready to leave.
“Ara~” Tamamori called out, making Inoo stop from leaving “What do we have here?” he asked smirking as he looked at Inoo with disgust
“Look at his poor clothes” Fujigaya grimaced “Maya~” he whined “Where do bimbos buy their clothes?” he asked
“Bimbo shops” Kitayama laughed “Tama why did you even think of inviting him here?” he whined
“Maya, Fuji” Tamamori shook his head “Be nice” he shrugged “Since you’re here already, why don’t you enjoy the buffet? They are free. You don’t get to eat like those right? Enjoy it” he snorted
Inoo gripped his hands, controlling his emotions. His glare then turned into a smirk. He then marched towards the buffet and started pigging on the food.
“Tamachan” Inoo cried out “Awesome party! The foods are great, super great! You should try these!” he cried out, too loudly that people turned to look at him. “Fuji too! Especially that you are wearing that fake diamond stud! Maya!” he waved then. As soon as he saw people getting pulling away from the three, Inoo shrugged and dropped the muffins he picked and planned to stuff one. “Wow” he mouthed to the three and there left.
As Inoo reached his home, he went straight to his room and sat on his bed. After spending a little time in that party, he had seen the huge difference he has with Keito. That was the world of rich and he belongs in the world of poverty. They are different from each other. Definitely.
****
Inoo sighed as he walks on the hall towards the fire exit where he usually stays nowadays since there’s no place other than there that is peaceful. As he pushed the door open and step out to the balcony leading to the stairway, Inoo took a deep breath and sighed it. He then turned to sit on one of the steps but ended up yelping as he saw Keito seated there. The latter turned to look at him then smiled.
‘Hello” Keito greeted, his smile bright
“Hi” Inoo greeted back, tilting his head then smiled as Keito continued smiling at him
“Why don’t you take a seat?” Keito offered
“Thanks” Inoo nodded down and sat there, looking still at Keito “Did something good happen? You seem to be in a good mood?” he asked
“Ah, how long do you think is the time difference between Japan and France?” Keito asked then
“Huh?” Inoo frowned “What do you mean?” he asked then
“Ma~ it’s doesn’t matter” Keito shrugged and touched Inoo’s head, tapping it affectionately. “See you later” he added and stood up, leaving Inoo alone.
After spending some more time sitting there, Inoo decided that it’s time for him to leave as well. He was already headed back to his classroom when Tamamori and his gang stepped on his way, blocking him from going further.
“Well, well, well” Tamamori chanted “Now, why don’t we let Keichan that magazine, Maya?” he said and reached for the magazine, Kitayama was holding. He then passed it to Inoo.
Inoo looked at the magazine and blinked at the cover model. It was a beautiful person. A bishounen, he could describe. Hair with slight curls, auburn and black in colour. His skin as pale but the healthy kind of paleness with two adorable spots on his cheeks. His eyes, almond with huge irises, honey brown and guarded with long lashes. Then his bright smile. Even though he looked overly cute, the person on the cover has a sophisticated aura that Inoo even through a picture could feel.
“Arioka Daiki” Tamamori said then and Inoo looked at the name printed on the cover page. Indeed, Arioka Daiki. “A former student of this school, went to France to continue studying and at such young age, he’s already attending a wonderful college” he informed “And for your information, Arioka Daiki is Okamoto Keito’s true love” he said making Inoo look at him “Shocked?” he sniggered “Yes, Okamoto Keito loves Arioka Daiki and they are fit for each other. Don’t go dreaming on that you and Okamoto-san could be. You’re nothing compared to Arioka-sama” he scoffed
INoo bit his lower lip and looked down again to the magazine. His eyes taking in the beauty Daiki owns.
“What are you all doing there?” Yabu came then and that enough made the trio run away with fright. Inoo remained standing there, staring still at the magazine. “Now, what do you think? They are frightened, aren’t you frightened of me too?” he asked
“Just die” Inoo gritted “Just go and die Yabu Kota! Die!” he cried out
“What the~ After I saved you, you’re going to give this to me?” Yabu yelled
“I hate you! I hate you! Especially that annoying hair of yours! You need a good shaving! I hate you for not wearing uniform! I hate you!” Inoo cried out and turned round, running away.
Even before Inoo could know it, he found his self already in the school garden where then he spotted Yaotome and Takaki seated on a blanket they placed over the grass, having tea.
“Well, isn’t it Inoosama?” Yaotome grinned, waving then to Inoo and gestured for him to come who did so and sat next to them “What’s wrong? Forgot your mouth in your house?” he asked noticing Inoo’s silence
“I was thinking about Arioka-san and Okamoto-kun’s relationship” Inoo confessed
“Ah” Takaki nodded down “Well, you can say they are in a relationship that goes like more than friends but not lovers” he said “Daichan, well, he’s very nice. Big heart and all. Keito, well, as everyone knows, he’s quiet and shy and suddenly before he would just throw up and cry. No one could understand him, even us, but Daichan did. Daichan became like Keito’s angel” he shrugged
****
Inoo sighed heavily as he walks on the bright streets of the city. Everywhere he looks, every advertisement has Aioka Daiki’s face in it. It was like the whole city was mocking him for liking Keito who was in love with Daiki. He sighed again and looked up, seeing then Keito standing in front of one of Daiki’s posters, kissing it affectionately. Inoo stood there watching then walked closer, looking then at Daiki’s face.
“He’ll be coming back soon” Keito said, not looking at Inoo “he’ll be here soon” he repeated
“He’s so beautiful” Inoo commented
“You like me, don’t you?” Keito said then and looked at Inoo “I know” he said and looked back to the poster
Inoo stood there, dumbfounded and at the same time embarrassed.
****
Inoo still felt down about everything and to think that he was still embarrassed about last night’s conversation with Keito. He was walking straight when he bumped on someone. He was ready to apologize already but as he looked up, Inoo blinked in surprise to find Yabu Kota, in uniform with hair cut short.
“Wow” Inoo commented
“Well, I didn’t do this because of what you said yesterday for your information” Yabu nagged “I just wanted a change” he added
“Is that so? Okay” Inoo shrugged
But even before Yabu could speak again, Takaki came disturbing them.
“Daichan’s here!” Takaki announced.
Inoo watched the two hurry away, forgetting that he was there. So even Yabu Kota sees Arioka Daiki important for him to rush like that.
And without even knowing it, Inoo found his self standing near where now Okamoto Keito and Arioka Daiki meets.
