An early update! Second time this week! Wow! I am so pleased with myself.
Thanks for all the sweet reviews!
I'll be answering all reviews next chapter because I am travelling right now and it's a little hard for me. But I managed to update and maybe I can get another one in this following week 'cause well my holidays have started ^~^
I present to you the new and the next chapter.
"The hell , Tora?!" The blonde eyed gentleman burst into Tora's study startling the young man behind the desk.
"Whoa. Easy Takumi. Ever heard of the concept called 'Knock'?"
"Cut it out. You are going too far! You are making Ayuzawa's family move away with what purpose in mind?!"
"Oh. It's about that?" All of a sudden , the golden orbs went back to their blank state after realizing what was happening "So what if she's moving away?"
"I have no connection to the Walker family whatsoever but I make sure not to ruin their image at any cost. They can't just pull a few strings and suddenly transfer people places!"
"You are overreacting" Tora rose an eyebrow "Since when did you start caring about who's getting promoted and being transferred?"
Emerald eyes narrowed "With everything going on it's a little hard to believe that you didn't have a hand in this. I am so sure about you doing all this that I think you must have initiated it"
"Maybe I did" When Takumi's face turned to 'Aha!' , Tora continued "Or maybe not"
"Tora. Just come out clean with it. Admit you did it"
"I will , if you answer one question honestly"
"Now what?" Takumi massaged his temple as his eyes slowly shut.
"If Ayuzawa does transfer Universities , what'd you do?
Eyes opening and then narrowing , The blonde model realized where this conversation would head if he gave Tora the answer he wanted and the pleasure of playing matchmaker "Nothing. Absolutely nothing"
"Then I don't understand why we are talking about it" Tora smirked.
"Because it's unfair"
"What is? Giving a worthy employee promotion is unfair?"
Takumi rolled his eyes "Keep acting oblivious Tora. Will teach you a lesson one day" Shaking his head , he walked to the door and grabbed the door knob.
"Life doesn't teach Igarashi Tora lessons , Takumi. Life takes lessons from Igarashi Tora"
Takumi smirked and gave a side glance to Tora "You'll remember what I said when your life gives lessons to you" Tora's brows furrowed "She can't be patient with you forever. God , Tora. Take her out for dinner at the very least"
"If you are able to make Ayuzawa Misaki fall for you , I will publicly with a grand celebration get engaged to Sakurai Chiyo. Deal?"
"Deal"
The door to the Student Council Room flung open and almost fell of its hinges at the strength applied to open it. Kuuga almost fell of the couch in fright and a startled Hinata dropped his console. Tora looked up , a little surprised which was soon replaced by amusement. Takumi opened an eye to see what the racket was about and was surprised to see a fuming (and very familiar) raven haired girl at the door.
"Don't you dare.." She seethed , entering the room and walking right up to the blonde haired model lying on the couch "Who knew you were such a despicable guy?!"
"Pardon?" Taking his earphones off and sitting upright , the emerald eyed boy gave the raven haired girl a 'Excuse me?' look.
Grabbing the collar of his shirt she pulled him which elevated him a little and brought Takumi's face closer to Misaki's "If you have a problem with me , then do what you want to - to me. Don't you dare bring my family into this" Letting go of his collar , Misaki pushed Takumi a little too harshly back onto the couch as his friends gulped.
"If.." Takumi finally looked up , eyes flashing dangerously which made a shiver run down Misaki's spine even if it was for a little moment "You would kindly elaborate , maybe then I would know what in the actual hell you are talking about"
"Let's not pretend you aren't responsible for my Dad's promotion and his transfer to Kyoto" Misaki's face twisted into one of pure hatred "You knew how hard it was for me to get into Miyabigaoka. And that's why you took away one thing that mattered the most to me"
"How would your Dad's promotion be related to me?"
"Don't think I don't know that you are the heir to Walker Industries and that the Ichinose Group of Companies works under them"
"I am the heir to Walker Industries. I do not own it or run it. I don't control all this. Don't blame me for all this"
"Oh I will!" Misaki seethed , shaking with anger "Guys like you only care about what you want. I should have known. Every guy is the same. Selfish and crazy for girls who are ready to throw themselves at any guy"
"Ayuzawa. Calm it" Tora stepped in as he noticed Takumi's expression hardening.
"Guys aren't the selfish ones here" Takumi spoke after a moment of silence , voice silent and smooth enough to make goosebumps appear on Misaki's skin "The girls are. A happy relationship with a girl is a stereotype. They aren't ever happy"
Misaki momentarily forgot her reason for being in the Student Council room before she realized she was standing there like a fool after being insulted by the blonde guy in front of her. Just the reminder was enough to make her clench her fists and refrain from physically hurting the despicable guy "Then try and make them happy. No wonder you are such a pathetic excuse for a -" Stopping herself from saying further , Misaki huffed and tried to stop shaking.
"Excuse for a?" Takumi rose an eyebrow almost threatening her to complete the sentence.
"Why does it matter?" Misaki grit her teeth "Rich people always get what they want don't they? They love doing such stuff. Especially ruining lives of the 'less' special ones"
"That's because poor people like you are always blaming us. Our fault we were born rich?"
"Takumi…" Kuuga's eyes widened.
"Oh God.." Kanou was shaking his head.
"You shouldn't have.."
Eyes widening in realization at how he had right out insulted her more than he had ever done to his friends in less than two minutes was enough to make Takumi snap out of his angry trance. Calling her poor had just added more fuel to the fire.
The blonde haired model immediately turned to the amber eyed girl , apology already rolling off his tongue -
Swoosh.
In a swift move , Misaki had picked the new can of soda Hinata had just opened and poured it all over a wide eyed Takumi in one go. To make it worse , she made an extra effort to shake the can trying to make use of every drop. Once done , she tossed the can next to Takumi who sat , drenched in soda , looking down at the carpet as his friends watched in horror.
"I knew it. No guy ever cares about what a girl really feels like. Guys like you only care about what you want. Only about what you want" Turning around , the ravenette walked out surprisingly calmer and more composed than she had been when she walked in.
As soon as the door slowly closed behind her , the remaining four boys turned to their friend who was still sitting in a frozen position.
"Ta...kumi?"
Four pair of eyes widened as laughter broke out in the room. It wasn't the normal laughter someone expressed after hearing a hilarious joke. This one was more dark , more hysterical than Takumi's laugh ever had been.
Running a hand through his damp hair , Takumi looked up , eyes flashing and entire face smirking "She's right. Guys only care about what they want. And I want her"
"YOU WHAT?!'
"Yeah…"
"ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND?!" Sakura shook Misaki violently until everyone in the cafe gave them weird looks.
"Maybe.."
"Misaki. You do realize that doing all of that to the heir of the Walker Industries has done nothing but put your Father's job in danger"
"Argh. I am so stupid" Misaki held her head in her hands "Why didn't I realize?"
"Exactly-"
Misaki's phone ringing interrupted Sakura's scolding. As the raven haired girl made no move to decline the call or lift it , her two friends made the effort for her.
"Misaki" Sakura nudged her "It's your Dad"
"Oh God" Misaki's eyes widened "He already lost the job?"
"Don't be ridiculous. Lift it"
Gathering what little courage was left , the amber eyed beauty finally accepted the call and pressed the phone to her ear , ready to apologize.
"Dad. I am so-"
"Hello? Misaki?! I got some really good news for you!"
"What? Dad. Now is not a good time to joke around"
"I am not joking. I really have some good news for you. We aren't going to Kyoto!"
"Really?!" Wait. Misaki had actually been looking forward to getting away from here after the little stunt she pulled this morning.
"Yeah. I mean atleast you aren't going"
"What do you mean?"
"I never knew my company would be so generous to me one day. Boss has particularly offered to give out one of the twin penthouses the company owns on 'Pan View' to you for half the price!"
"WHAT?!"
"They are not selling it. I meant it in the rental way!"
"How will we pay for it , Dad?!"
"We? Honeycakes , I will be paying for it. You don't have to worry. Besides , isn't this amazing news?"
NOT AT ALL! Misaki's head screamed but she tried to keep a positive attitude up for her Father "Ah..yes. That's great to hear"
"Oh and hear this!"
More to it? "What is it , Dad?"
"The heir to the Walker Industries , who would have guessed you knew him personally ,requested for this"
"Did you say ...heir to the Walker Industries?"
"Yeah..?"
"And his name is…?" Keeping her fingers crossed for a sibling , Misaki prayed with all her being.
"Takumi Walker"
"Crap"
