Chapter 8: Celebration

Akemi's POV

Classes are done and I'm on my way to deliver the class's homework to the faculty office since I'm the one assigned today

"Excuse me, this is today's assignment," I said to the teacher and put the papers down on his table. I bowed and excused myself

"U-Um...Tanaka Akemi-san!" Someone called out to me. It was a girl with black hair wearing glasses

"What?" I asked and she looked scared

'Do I look scary?' I thought to myself

"Um...Are you and Kise Ryouta a couple?!" She asked loudly

'Ah is she one of his fans?' I clicked my tongue startling her

"No, we aren't"

"Then friends?!"

"We're not as well," I said and she looked sad

'Isn't she supposed to be happy?'

"What's wrong?" I asked her and she looked at me in the eye

"Why are you not friends?" She asked me

"Huh?"

"Why are you not a couple? Or friends??" She repeated "You two are always together! You guys are walking to school together as well!!" She said

"Ah...Well I don't think Kise wants to be my friend" I said to her and she was shocked

"W-What do you mean Tanaka Akemi-san?!" She asked me. Sheesh does she have to use my full name?

"I think Kise just wants to be friends with me since he pity me or something and I don't think Kise looks at me like that," I told her lazily. I'm not wrong, he just wanted to be friends with me since he reminds me of his lonely days. When I said that to her she looked sad again

"Why did you ask?" I asked her and she started saying excuses like her cat suddenly died at the moment and ran away

'Did she use telepathy on her cat?' I thought and went to my classroom

'Why don't you try being friends with him? Kise Ryouta is a good kid' I thought about what sensei said to me

I reached the classroom and saw that Kise was still there

"Don't you have practice?" I asked him packing my stuff

"Actually I'm gonna watch two of my friend's match today," He said "Do you wanna come with me?" He asked and I refused

"I see...take care then," He said and walked away

'Eh?' I just stood to where I was standing

'D-Did I hear that right??' I thought 'He didn't become a whiny cow?' I packed my stuff and went out as well

'Hell must be freezing over' I thought and went towards the gate

"Yo!" Akane greeted me outside the gates leaning on her car

"Why are you here?" I asked thinking if I have work tonight

"Yato-nii is going abroad today," She said and I looked at her shocked

"What do you mean?"

"Well for now get inside we're gonna say goodbye to him at the airport," She said and I went inside

"Yato-nii was perfectly doing his work so his boss decided to take him overseas last week," She said while driving

"And why am I the last one to know this?" I asked annoyed
