Jealousy Ch. One "Are you sure?" Saotome-san asked me with his ridiculous accent and I nodded.

"This way, I won't have to be isolated in training. Plus, I'll be getting real time experience."

"Alright then," he said. "Do you wish to take the S Class with your old friend Tokiya?" I shook my head.

"Just the A Class please." Saotome-san nodded and grinned. "You are now officially a student of Saotome Academy, baby."

I packed up the next day and rode a limousine from the training facility to the academy. I've been told that most of my stuff have been sent to my room already and all I have with me are a few other important things like my laptop and such. To think that I was the only one allowed to bring one.

I entered the dorms and walked down the hall in search of my room. I bumped into a friend of mine who looked rather shocked to see me.

"Rikka-chan?" he said in confusion and I rolled my eyes.

"Is that how you greet a friend you haven't seen in a long time?" I asked as I placed my bag on the floor right before Ichinose attacked me with a huge bear hug.

"Ha, you're usually so cold to people, nii-san," I said and he chuckled. "I just missed my little sister." He released me from his deadly clutch then paused for a while.

"Why are you headed for the boy's dorm? The girl's dormitory is on the other side." I rolled my eyes.

"Show me your room," was all I said. I'm sure he was confused accompanied me anyway.

On the way, we ran into a boy wearing a hat and had black nail polish. He was a bit taller than me but which means he's pretty short considering the fact that I'm shorter than the average 15 year old girl.

"A friend of yours?" he asked. "Maybe you forgot the rule."

I'm guessing that rule is bros before hoes? I didn't say it out loud though.

"You and I both know that I would never forget the rule."

We kept walking for a while

"This is my room," nii-san said, poiting at the door in front of him. I set my eyes on the door to the left.

"This is MY room," I said and walked to it. I brought out the keys Shinning-san gave me. I was right, it WAS my room.

"W-wait, what? But this is the boys' dorms," he said and I nodded.

"Most of the students here are female and there wasn't any vacant rooms left except this one so I have the room all to myself." I opened the door and saw all my stuff in boxes.

"I-is that so... Well if you need anything, don't be afraid to ask me. So I suppose you're attending the S Classes?" I shook my head. "I asked to attend A Classes. It won't hurt to go with the basics." Ichinose nodded and waved at me as I entered my room.

I started unpacking my things for the next four hours and was nearly done. It was getting late and I had classes the next day so I figured I could finish after classes were over.

I got ready and walked to class immediately. As I entered, everyone went silent. I disregarded the stares and walked to a vacant seat in the back if the class close to the piano. A few minutes later, some dude in a wig came walking in. He looked familiar.

"Ohayo-pu!" I groaned. Not him.

"Minna, we have a new student in here, why don't you introduce yourself?" I sighed and walked to the front of the class.

"Sakiragi Rikka," I said bluntly tgen Ringo-sensei continued my introdction.

"Rikka-chan used to be a trainee at the facilities but requested that she study here at Saotome Academy and have a proper debut. She has more experience than most of you so treat her nicely."

"I prefer you just disregard that and just treat me equally," I said and sat back down on my seat.

Class went on. I would occasionally catch students staring at me but I ignored it and focused on what Ringo-sensei was saying. Then class ended and it was time for lunch. Before I could get up from my seat, three other students approached me: two girls and a boy.

"A-ano..." the girl with short hair muttered.

"What course are you taking?" the boy said and I answered him. "I'm taking both the idol and composing course."

"What?!" the three of them said. "So you won't have to partner up with anyone on assignments?" the girl with long hair said and I nodded.

"That sounds pretty hard..." the boy muttered as I stood up, preparing to leave for lunch. I left the three and walked to the cafeteria, my card in hand. I sighed as I saw the long line. If I left earlier, I could be eating already. I sighed and stood in line anyways.

"Ara? Rikka?" I heard a familiar voice said. I looked up and saw Ichinose way ahead of me. He smirked and gestured for me to walk towards him. "You can order along with me. I can tell you look pretty irritated back there," he said and I sighed, saying my thanks. I ate at the same table as Ichinose, figuring that I'd rather eat with him than anyone else. Fortunately enough, we were the only ones on that table.

We ate in silence, since that's how we both liked it. After lunch, I went back to class. Ringo-sensei was going on about transitions in compositions and such. I knew all of these but listened carefully.

I know I should be attending the S Class and not the regular A class but I wanted to hone my basic skills, and with that, I'll be improving on my own.

Classes were over and I walked towards my room. I bumped into Ichinose on the way and he asked me if I wanted to join him to catch up on things. I gladly agreed and he invited me into his room.

"Ara? Starting to become like Ren?" his room mate told him and Ichinose just rolled his eyes. I looked at the male and noticed that he was the one that approached me at the end of class.

"Eh? It's you!" he said with a smile. "You know Ichinose?" he asked and I looked at nii-san. He just shook his head. I guess no one knew he was Hayato...

"We're umm... We're childhood friends," I said and he responded with an 'Ohh' look on his face. "Oh, I forgot to introduce myself," he said and stood up.

"I'm Otoya Itoki," he said with a wide smile. I nodded and bowed respectfully.

"Still practicing manners, aren't we?" Ichinose muttered and I playfully punched him on the arm.

We spent the rest of the time talking. They had a mini-fridge in their room so we had a few snacks as well. About two hours later, I looked at my watch and sighed.

"It's late, I should get going," I said as I stood up from Ichinose's bed. He nodded and stood up as well.

"I'll see you tomorrow, nii-san," I said as he leaned down and I gave him a peck on the cheek. We always did this when I was training with him at my old agency. I was the the one who transferred before him. He was unsatisfied with the agency I used to work for but he stayed. I don't now why. He was being held back from what he wanted to do, he just doesn't want to leave...

"Oi, tomorrow's Saturday. Why don't we go out and have some fun?" Itoki-kun said and I thought for a while.

"I suppose we could," I said then turned to Ichinose. He raised his hands up and shook his head. I chuckled. He probably has work with the agency tomorrow.

"Great! I can introduce you to a few friends of mine," Itoki-kun said with a wide smile. I bowed respectully and left the room, heading towards mine. I sighed as I plopped onto my bed. I was glad I got a lot of unpacking done. All that was left were a few boxes of clothes.

I looked around and observed my room. The walls were painted black, the floor was carpeted and almost all of my furniture was red.

Just the way I wanted things.

I sighed and changed into my usual shorts and shirt and went to sleep.

Tomorrow, I would have to socialize with Itoki-kun's 'friends'...

Oh joy.
