Chapter two

All throughout the morning Niwa-san had been staring at me in worry, which only confirmed my suspicions even more, though last night I had made a pact to myself not to bring up the subject unless he confronted me with it. The bell for lunch had just rung and I was walking towards my tree when I hear a yell from behind me.

I spin around to see Niwa-san running towards me. He stops directly in front of me and stands there panting for a moment.

"Kiyoaka-san… do… do you know?"

"Know about what Niwa-san?"

"Da-dark…"

"The Phantom Thief, yes I know of him."

"No, I mean… my secret?"

I look around quickly, the only person near was Hiwatari-san and he was too far to hear us.

"That I believe I do, but there is no reason to discuss it, if you want it to stay a secret I will keep it that way."

"Really, thank you so much Kiyoaka-san!" he shouts as he throws his arms around my neck.

With a smile on his face he runs back into the building. I smile after him then return to my spot, pulling out my sketchbook. There was Hiwatari-san the same as always I begin to sketch again.

"That's really good."

I jump at the sound of someone's voice; I slam my notebook closed and look up just to see the very person who I didn't want to see that drawing, Hiwatari-san.

"Ano…"

"Why did you close it, I was looking at it," he asks me while smiling that ice smile of his.

"Sorry, I should get going," I say standing up quickly.

"Hey Kiyoaka-san," he says to my back I begin walking away.

I turn slightly to look at him out of the corner of my eyes.

"When you finish that picture can I have it?"

I hold back a gasp and turn away again before answering, "Yes," as I run away.

~*Time skip {School is just letting out}*~

"Shizuko-san," someone says from behind me.

I spin around to see the younger of the Harada twins running towards me.

"Harada-san," I say as she approaches me.

"Shizuko-san, will you come out with me to see Dark-san?"

"What do you mean Harada-san?"

"I mean come with me I want to ask Dark out on a date, but I need someone to help, Riku is busy tonight and Daisuke is as well. Please will you come with me?"

"Unfortunately I don't have anything planned and I will reluctantly accompanying you."

"Thank you!" Once again someone throws their arms around me in joy; this has happened three times in the past two days it must be a new record.

"Shi-chan meet me at the park just before sunset, alright?"

"Alright Harada-san," I answer as she runs off.

When did I get a nickname? I sigh and head home.

~*Time skip {Park}*~

The younger Harada twin was as expected running late. I watched the sun set behind the trees.

"Shi-chan," I hear Harada-san's voice shout.

I spin around and there she is running at me wearing a very fancy dress.

"Good evening Harada-san."

"Come on Shi-chan we'll miss him if we don't hurry!"

Harada-san grabs my hand and pulls me along to one of the many museums we have in our town. There were screaming fan-girls surrounding the front, guards surround the building.

"Now how to get in," Harada-san asks herself.

"There is a fire escape on the side of the building, you can reach the top of the building with it, and on the roof you can see all around the entire area. Along with that we avoid the hassle of interrupting the police."

"Let's go!"
