Intertwine (Strings of Fate) / Chap.3

"Yeah right, you can go over there and tell to the cooks whatever you like." After I get what I want I followed her direction. I stood up from my sit and walked away from them. I can't believe myself that I've been putting myself to that group of people. I patiently lined up before some of the students. After few a moments it's my turn to get my order.

"What is your orders ma'am" Asked by the cook.

"I want hotdog with lots of cheese and pineapple juice please." I replied.

"Here's your orders ma'am" The cook said. I paid the bill to the cashier and make my way to their place.

"Oh, your back, perfect Meter senpai is here too." That didn't surprise me because they all have the same aura. That is the answer I made for myself.

"So, you already met them Alexis-san."

"What am I doing here in the first place?" I place my food at the table and sit reluctantly as they stare at me with an assuring smile, more than a grin to me.

"Is this part of your 'new student accommodation that in a matter of fact that I didn't know'?" I asked again.

"Don't worry you'll be safe with us."

"What do mean by that?" I looked around us. I saw that our table is barely far from the other tables. Ours was excessively fashioned unlike the others was too ordinary.

As a matter of fact our table is very different from the others, and the other one was not far from us has the same decoration. What is going on in this kind of place?

"I know you're wondering about our accommodation and about others that bothering you." Meter senpai said.

"Yeah, I was wondering, though. What are you people? What's all this special treatment?"

"You know in a certain territory one must have protects it at all cost."

"What does that mean?"

"It's a long story Alexis-chan." Ayaka said.

Then suddenly the whole place filled with silence and soft chattering from the other tables. As if someone has entered the place with some overpowered aura that made the students looks at him or whoever that may be. Then, some footsteps have been echoing in the floor that made the atmosphere in a tense feeling. Five good looking guys appeared at the wide opened door of the cafeteria. They strode straight at the paved way that the student don't even try to block their way. Similar way they did to us earlier. They were at a pyramid formation. And I think that the guy in the middle is there leader. Look how surprised I am when I saw that one of them is the guy that bumped me this morning. They went straight at the same table as we have and one by one they sat at their designated sits.

"Now that they are here, I will tell you the reason why do we have this kind of treatment" Meter senpai said.

"But we have to introduce them first." Kannon senpai directed her look at the five guys that come earlier.

"The guy with the glasses with his brown highlighted hair is the leader of their group. He was at the same year with me and Meter, and apparently the Vice President of the Student Council. Yukijo Sho. Beside him was with the athletic bag wearing a wide smile in his face wherever he went, and the so called the 'prince charming' of the group, one of the closest friend of Sho, also a 3rd year. He was the captain of soccer team, Mizuki Kaname. The one with a black scarf, a star shaped earrings and always wearing a headphone on his head was a vocalist in a famous band, and his name is Mito Kohei. The other guy on his left side was a famous basketball player here in Tokyo at his young age, he was a 1st year student, Usami Yuji. And the last but not the least is a violinist, the best friend of Yuji-kun. His family owns the largest and chained allied hospitals in the whole of Japan, Kagami Jiro." I was all that silent that listening to her introduction.

"Then, what they have to do with this treatment you're saying? That you were rivals or something like that?"

"You got it!"Ayaka shouted.

"What you said was true, Alexis-can." Ritsu senpai seconded.

"A famous school like Seika University, there must be a leader that can be a model to the students and other schools. It was a tradition of the school that was used as an advertisement for several years ago."

"And they suggested that we make two groups, for boys and for girls, consists of the prettiest, handsomest, richest, most intelligent and most talented students. And that is why they created the Emperors and the Empresses. That is the rule of these two groups in the school." Meter senpai said.

"That's it? The reason why?" I asked.

"And that is why they called this school of Kings and Queens, because almost the richest kids in the whole of Japan studies here and intelligent too. And not all are blessed with this kind of opportunity. Only the best of the best can be part of these groups." Exclaimed by Ritsu senpai.

"And that's the very reason why do I have to be in this group?" I asked again.

"We decided it by ourselves. Just by reading your profile you can be part of us, for the sake of the school, perhaps." Meter exclaimed.

"And why do you think I will accept immediately that?"

"We already announced that yesterday at the whole school, if you don't mind." She stated clearly.

"Then you lied to me earlier."

"Uhm, something like that." With that guilty face she bit her lower lip and makes an apologetic face.

"Don't worry they are not hostile towards new students, they are just like frightened, perhaps." Ayaka explained on their behalf.

"You don't even ask for my consent and now you're telling me to be part of this group? What do you suppose is my reaction, I didn't even know this situation."

"It's not that very important though for us, it's your decision. Are you willing to join in? We don't take 'no' for an answer." As I analyze the situation I thought it could be a way to my plans, It's not that I can use them as tools to me revenge but I can use their influence and connections to find my family's murderer.

"Do I have a choice then?" I answered.

"Then it's decided then, your part of the Empresses." The four of them smiled with glee towards me with a furrowed eyebrows and questioning look and insulted feeling. That's how my first day of school ended.
