Ruka's POV
BAKA BAKA BAKA
No one looked up to see who was suffering this time except for Mikan and I. We are probably two of the only people who won't get punished for it. Well, I won't. Mikan gets punished for everything. Guess that's what you get for having a money loving, sadistic bitch as a best friend. Things had become a LOT more painful once Hotaru overthrew the academy high-ups and took over the school. The first thing she did was confiscate all the money around and install motion sensitive baka cannons into the walls. Her latest victim was Natsume, who was now lying unconscious from the gun. I could see the pained look in Mikan's hazel eyes as she looked up at her boyfriend. However, she quickly got back to work. She knows exactly how painful those guns are, having been guinea pig for Hotaru's inventions for years. I felt a rush of sympathy, but quickly pushed it back down. I went up and stood next to my girlfriend and looked down with disdain at my "best friend". I looked out over the evil empire that Hotaru had created… and smirked. Hotaru and I looked up at the screen fuelled by Koko and read what every single person was thinking. "Those sadistic bastards". We looked at each other and laughed at their suffering. It's their fault for looking down on us for all these years… isn't it? I'm having second thoughts. But I can't back out now… she will follow me.
I continue to live in fear. Fear of failure. Fear of my "peers". Fear of my feelings.
Fear of Hotaru.
