Blue Lock, 3:00am

Strangely, I confided everything to Shidou. I was tired of keeping it to myself.

"Dang, that's tough." He sighs.

"Yeah." I mumble, drifting off to sleep.

The room is now enveloped in soothing silence. I consider spending the night here, the atmosphere is comforting.

"You know, the more I look at you, the more you resemble someone I know." Shidou breaks the silence.

"Really, who?" I ask him, my eyes still closed.

"My girlfriend."

I chuckle before sitting cross-legged. "You have a girlfriend?"

"Yeah, sort of. But you two really look alike. Same smile, same eyes, same lips, same butt-"

"Wait are you talking about me?" I raise an eyebrow, laughing.

"Yeah, will you be my girlfriend?" He asks me, smirking.

His request sends me into fits of laughter. "Lol. No."

"Even after seeing this?" He teases, showing me his abs.

"Even after that." I roll my eyes then stand up.

"Wait, where you going?" He stands up too.

"To sleep. Good night, Shidou." I wave goodbye and head to my room.

It's with a knot in my stomach that I approach Noa's office. I've been training with the other players when Ness informs me that Noa wants to see me.

"Hey genius!"

I turn around, thinking it's Raichi calling me, but it's Kaiser.

I roll my eyes. "Don't call me that." I say as I continue on my way.

"Where you going?" He asks.

"None of your business."

His steps draw closer, and he blocks my path. "Where are you in such a hurry to go, princess?" He smirks.

"Don't you have anything better to do than annoy me?" I sigh.

He chuckles. "No, it's too much fun to piss you off."

I ignore him and continue toward Noa's office.

"Oh, by the way, I know your little secret, princess."

"I swear I hate that guy." I mutter as he walk away.

I brush my unruly hair behind my ear and knock on the door.

As I hear him give permission to enter, I open the door to find him seated behind his desk.

"Take a seat." He offers me.

"Um, hello." I awkwardly greet him.

"I won't beat around the bush. I've heard things, and I'd like you to confirm them."
