That night, Shuji got up at ten minutes to midnight, puzzle in hand.

"Are you sure you don't want any of us to come, even if we hide somewhere so that whoever it is can't see us?" Dai asked.

"I'm sure. The note said to go alone." The three nodded and Shuji left, making his way to the river. When he arrived there was no one there, so he waited.

Suddenly he heard the bushes on his left make a noise. A person emerged from them, wearing a mask and all black clothing. In their hands was a white envelope.

"Good evening." The person said. Shuji nodded towards them in reply. "I have brought something for you."

They handed him the envelope and Shuji opened it. Inside was a picture. But not just any picture, it was a picture of him and Akira kissing in their tent.

"Where did you get this?" Shuji asked. They must have seen him and Akira kiss that afternoon.

"I have my sources, and if you're not careful, I will show it to the whole class!"

"What do you want from me?"

"It's not you I want, it's your friend, or should I say, boyfriend?"

"Akira? What do you want with him?" For some reason Shuji recognised this voice, but he couldn't put who it was.

"His father is someone my family admires. I always like to be looked up to in my family, so I want him to be my boyfriend. I want you to make him my boyfriend." Was this person insane?

"Why would I let him be your boyfriend, when he is mine?" Shuji asked, disgust all over his face.

"Because I am sure you don't want your friends knowing about your relationship."

"Well, how am I supposed to tell him to go out with you if I don't know who you are?" Shuji asked. He had found a flaw in the plan, or so he thought.

"Dump him, and I will take care of the rest." The person turned away and ran back into the bushes. Shuji stood there, stunned for a minute. Could this be for real? Had this person actually asked him to dump Akira? Shuji began to slowly walk back to camp, taking his time and thinking about what happened.

"Shu-u-ji-kun!" Shuji looked up at the familiar sound of his name being called. Akira was waiting behind a tree for him.

"Hey." He said, walking over to him.

"What did that person want?" He asked. Shuji sighed. Should he tell him? But then, this person might find out that he told him, and would show the class the photo. But this was Akira he was talking about. Akira always knew when he was lying, when he was upset, when he was afraid. Akira knew him better than anyone did, or ever would. How could he lose the one person he loved in this world, even if it meant that the rest of their class would find out about their relationship? Was it even worth losing Akira over? Akira, the boy who flew all the way across the country and moved to a whole new school, just to be with him. Shuji made up his mind then, and decided to tell him.

"They gave me this." He showed him the picture. Akira gasped. "But it's not me they wanted, it's you."

"Akira shock!" Akira yelled into the night. Shuji tried to shush him.

"Akira, the person's family looks up to your father and they thought it would be good if you became this person's boyfriend. So they wanted me to dump you."

"What! Shuji dump me!" Akira yelled out again.

"Shh!! Of course I'm not going to dump you! But we need to make it look like I did, so that they don't show the picture around."

"Ohh."

"Yeah. So, tomorrow, we have to make it look like we are in a fight. We can't talk to each other, except if it's mean."

"But Shuji, that's lying."

"I know it is, but we can't let them show that picture around. The whole school will know! Please Akira!"

Akira pouted but agreed anyway. Shuji hugged him in his delight and they made some plans of what to tell their friends before going back to their tent.
