Chapter 14

Secrets

Hello!

This will be the last update for A Scientific Love Story for now.

Updates will continue after I come back from my vacation.

Hopefully my uncle has installed the wifi system my dad has paid him to do so that I may use my uncle's computer to update for you guys.

But if not, bear with me until September.

Thank you to everyone who reviewed, favorited, and followed.

For now enjoy~

Chiyo waited patiently outside the school building.

Today was her engagement celebration. Her friends all wanted to take her out to a hotel for lunch. Not to mention the road trip they all planned, was going to be super fun.

But what Chiyo didn't expect was for Tora to pull over with his roofless car with eight seats. How he managed to get a car like that Chiyo didn't know.

"Hey babe!" Tora jumped off the driver's seat and jogged over to her.

Chiyo smiled as he pecked her on the lips. She glanced at the other passengers and wasn't surprised to see the entire elite group.

She exchanged looks with Takumi. While Misaki was still upset from everything that had happened, he looked rather normal. As if none of it affected him. Chiyo really had thought he liked her.

"So," Tora wrapped an arm around her shoulder. "My friends here wanted to take me out to lunch. Wanna come with," he gave her a charming smile and it pained her to shake her head.

Tora frowned. "Sorry," Chiyo gently touched his cheek. "My friends want to take me out too."

On cue, a red car drove up near Tora's car. But unlike tora's car it had a roofless trailer attached to it. And sitting in it where Sakura, Shizuko, Kaga, Aoi, and Yuuji, and Shou, Kuga's band members. Kanou who was usually quiet came along too.

"Ready to go," Yuuji howled from the seat next to the driver's.

The driver was what surprised Chiyo the most.

"Misa?" Chiyo asked confused.

"Yeah," Misaki responded sliding up her glasses to her head. The two girls stared at each other for a while. "You coming or what?" She beamed.

Chiyo couldn't believe it. She actually seemed happy.

"Are you ok?" She asked as she walked over to the car. Misaki nodded as if it was the most obvious thing ever. Chiyo sighed.

"Oh Tora-kun," Sakura chirped. Tora smiled in return.

"What brings you here?" Kuga fist pumped him. Her friends had gotten closer to her fiance.

"I wanted to take Chiyo out to lunch with us but it seems she already has plans with you guys."

"Why don't you guys just come with us?" Aoi asked. "Since we were all planning the same thing."

At that Misaki choked on the water bottle she was drinking from.

"Misa," Sakura, and Shizuko said at the same time.

Misaki held up a hand as she coughed. "I'm fine," she choked. She was glancing around until her eyes met Takumi's. She looked away immediately. Had it been her imagination or did he actually seem worried.

Misaki got out of the driver's seat with her ear piece in her hand. "I have to make a call to the hotel." she lied. "I have to let them know that we have a few extra guests with us."

With that she walked away. Of course Chiyo knew she had been lying.

Tora took her hand and kissed it. "Shall we get going?" He asked. Chiyo smiled and nodded. Everyone from YSA and even Tomu and Tenryu cheered as Tora got into the driver's seat. Misaki returned shortly and got into her own driver's seat.

"You sure you're ok?" Chiyo called over from next to Tora.

"Yeah totally," Misaki said without looking at Chiyo. With that she drove off.

During the road trip

The road trip was indeed fun as Chiyo's friends had promised.

They took turns singing and exchanging jokes. Even Kaon was enjoying herself.

Though the only two quiet people were Misaki and Takumi.

Takumi simple looked at the scenery while Misaki remained silent.

Chiyo decided to lighten them both up by using the car's karaoke machine.

Takumi said he didn't like Misaki because she was rich. But if he saw how different she was, he might changer her mind.

Chiyo put in a song. "Misa. Misa," she chanted. Misaki glanced at her quizzically.

The others got the message and soon followed. "Misa. Misa," the chanted.

It was a known fact that Misaki had an angelic voice. Sometimes Kuga made her sing in his place at his band's performances.

"Come on," Sakura chirped. Misaki shook her head. Usually she would have gone ahead and sang, but not with him there. Him as in Takumi.

She didn't want to be judged with his cruelty again.

Soon the song started. It was called "As if it's your last" by a South Korean girl band named Black Pink.

Sakura started to sing.

Who are you to make me keep thinking of you?

My pride is bruised, I'm burning up

My face is hot, my heart keeps racing

I can't control my body, I'm getting dizzy.

Aoi followed her. He had a soft side for girly things.

You're like a fistful of sand

It's like I can hold you but I can't

You're not easy, that's why I want you more

I can't control my heart, it's ridiculous.

Everyone waited for Misaki to chime in. Eventually she gave up and sighed.

Can you feel my breath

Wanting you right now

Even when I'm looking at you, I'm

missing you

I'm so bad at this, won't you set me free.

The car went silent as Misaki blushed. Misaki had assumed it had been so bad that no one wished to say anything. But then Takumi of all people began to clap.

Everyone followed suit. Misaki glanced at them surprised.

"You have a beautiful voice," Li complimented. Misaki smiled at her.

"Even my sister like it," Tomu added. Misaki giggled a little at that. But then she frowned when she caught Takumi's staring at her from her window.

Just what was his problem.

The meeting with the director of MAP had calmed her down a bit but being around him still bugged her.

So she drove silently for the next hour until they stopped in front of a hotel.

Chiyo watched Misaki make another call as she lead everyone inside.

She looked over her shoulder worriedly but nothing she did would make Misaki truly smile.

When the reached the top floor of the hotel in Tokyo they walked into a beautiful atmosphere. Misaki must have had the hotel booked for them in a private area. The water fountain stood in the middle of the room right in front of their table. Music played everywhere as the maids stood on one side and butlers on the other. They bowed. "Welcome back masters," they greeted.

Kaon gasped as a butler prevented her from tripping over. She seemed...charmed somehow.

They all took a seat at the the dining table. Chiyo sat between an empty seat and Tora. The empty seat was for Misaki.

They talked amongst themselves until a middle aged man with raven hair and amber eyes came in.

"Chiyo," he said excitedly as he beamed at her. Chiyo stood up with a smile. "So sorry I couldn't make it to your engagement."

Chiyo shook her head. "You were busy," she reasoned. She signaled Tora to get up. "This is-"

"Tora Igarashi. I know," Sakuya cut in. "Nice to meet you my boy," he shook Tom's hand.

"Lovely hotel you have here," Tora said formally.

Sakuya bowed and the maids and butlers copied him. "Misaki's not here?" He asked.

"She's making a phone call," Chiyo answered.

A bitler came over. "Can I take you order?" He asked.

Kaon was about to speak but just then the bitker sat his notepad down and walked away when the elevator door opened.

Chiyo understood why when she looked at the person near the elevator.

It was Misaki. She had changed out of her uniform and now wore a silver skirt with knee high black boots and red shirt that went down to her abdomen. The sleeves were freely and the top had a choker attached to it. The maid and butlers bowed.

"Welcome back Mistress Misaki," the greeted in unison.

"Does she come here often or something?" Kaon whispered.

"No she's," before Chip could add anything Sakuya Ayuzawa cut in.

"There's my little girl," he held his arms wide and hugged Misaki.

She pulled away from him immediately and came towards the table. A butler rushed over and pulled her chair for her. Misaki blushed. She hated the attention she got.

"Wait," Kaon stood up with a frown. "You're the daughter of the owner of one of the greatest five star hotel in all of Japan." She stopped to catch her breath.

"Seems that way," Misaki muttered. She exchanged glances with Takumi again. His cold expression was back.

Just what happened in his past that made him hate her so much.

I do not own Black Pink or As if it's your last whatsoever. The song is not my own.
