Chapter 7: The Truth Reviled

It's been two weeks since I joined Raimon and things seemed to be going well…kind of. Ever since I found out about this crush I had on Shindou whenever I talk to him that weird feeling comes back and I end up running away from him. I can't even look at him sometimes and I swear he thinks I hate him. I ended up just hanging out with Aydan and whoever she was with at the time, but she knew how I felt so she didn't mind. She even took me to meet her friends from another dimension who were a team called Inazuma All Stars. They were a nice lot and we got to play a lot of soccer.

It was Friday and I was putting some books back into my locker when a small letter fell out. I picked it up and began to read it.

Dear Harmonia

I have been admiring you from a far for a while now but I would really like to talk to you in person. Meet me at the school gates after school.

From your secret admirer.

"Aww you've got an admirer!" Said a voice from behind me.

"A-Aydan?! You read it?"

"Yep all of it. So are you going to meet him?" She said cheerfully

"I guess I probably should so I don't hurt their feelings…" I said looking down

"Hey come on, cheer up! You have an admirer that's something to be proud of!"

"I guess so…"

I walked away to think about things on my own. We only had a few more minutes before the end of school and I was really confused. I walked out to the field so I could think about things. I looked up and thought I saw someone running off but I passed it off as my imagination.

"What am I supposed to do with myself?" I asked.

"Harmonia-chan!" I heard a voice call from behind me. It was Shindou. "Please don't run off!" he called before I had the chance.

"H-Hi Shindou-senpai…"

"Harmonia-chan why have you been avoiding me?" He said

"Shindou-senpai…" I said slowly "Why are we friends?"

"Huh because you're an amazing person who is really kind and nice!" he said in shock

"But I'm really not… I don't know what you see in me or what anyone else sees"

I turned around to face him. "There are things about me that even I don't understand… I'm just so useless it would be better off if I was gone…"

"Harmonia-chan what are you saying!? You want to die?! How will that solve anything?"

"My dad wouldn't have as much pressure on himself to protect me, he only does it because I saved him…"

"W-What are you talking about?!" He said getting angry

"My dad was getting mugged by those bullies from the other day when I stepped in and saved him. I was being chased by bad people and he said he would take me in to protect me…"

"Bad people? What kind of bad people?"

I paused for a moment; could I really tell him what I was? About my dark past?

"Remember when I said I came from a dark background? I wasn't lying… the truth is…" I sighed "I'm a lab experiment; I was grown and created from some reason that would benefit everyone. But I was selfish and didn't want that, I wanted to be free and see the world. So I escaped but each time I was caught again until I met Aphrodi-sama… The bad people that were chasing me were scientists who wanted to bring me back to the lab for more tests…See I'm not a good person…I'm not even a real person…" I said feeling tears drip down from my face.

"H-Harmonia-chan…!?" Shindou said is great shock.

"Just leave me alone! I'm bad thing! You're better off without me!" I said running off with my eyes closed.

I heard the bell ring so I ran towards the school gates. I had completely forgotten about the note and I just wanted to disappear. But as soon as I stepped outside the gates something was pressed agenised me which sent a large shock through my system. I could feel myself dropping and closing down.

"I've got her, we will return soon" I heard a deep voice say before I passed out.

Aydan's POV

I hadn't seen Harmonia since she ran off and the school bell had just rang. I opened my locker to collect my things when a small note was poking out of one of my books. I pulled it out and began to read.

Aydan

I need your help, get Shindou and my dad before heading to the address on the back. Shindou will give you an insight to what is going on.

Harmonia~

As the letter had said there was an address on the back of the note. I knew something didn't feel right so I immediately headed to the front gates to see if I could spot Shindou. Luckily I did. He was about to walk out of the gates with his head down and a frown on his face like he was in deep thought.

"Shindou-senpai!" I shouted and grabbed him by the sleeve.

"A-Aydan?!" He said coming back to reality

"Where is Harmonia?!" I shouted

"I-I don't know she ran off a moment ago!"

"Damn it, right we need to go find her dad, explain to me on the way!" I said pulling Shindou along while I ran.

"E-Explain what?!" He shouted

"Harmonia said you knew something that would help! Look!" I said shoving the note into his hand.

He managed to read it while we ran "Oh no, could she mean?" he said to himself.

"What did she tell you?!" I said.

"Well…" He said as he explained to me what Harmonia had previously told him about her past.

"Those scientists must have got her…but if she was caught then how did this note get into my locker?" I question as we walked up to Harmonia's house. I rang the doorbell rapidly before a maid answered the door.

"Oh Miss Kira, Miss Harmonia isn't in at the mo-" She said before I interrupted.

"I know is her dad in?!"

"Y-Yes wait one moment" the maid said slightly shocked as she went to get Aphrodi.

He soon came to the door and greeted us.

"Sorry sir but we have no time for greetings! We need your help Harmonia is in trouble!"

"W-What do you mean?" he replied confused so I handed him the note to read. "What's happened to her?!"

"We don't know yet but we need your help!" I said

"Ok let's go!" he said and we all rushed out of the gates and towards the given address…
