Shizuru's POV*

I was 5 years old and you were 4 when we first met. I didn't think that on that very day I will find the person who will shape my life. We were in middle school when her parents separated and Natsuki chose to own an apartment and because of that, I had to take a dorm at Fuuka Academy. Her apartment is far from my dorm but it made me happy whenever she does nothing she visits me in the dorm and spends her time in there. I forced her to move at my dorm several times but well she isn't Natsuki if she isn't thickheaded. From the very first moment I laid my eyes on her beautiful emerald orbs I fell in love, I felt like I have these butterflies in my stomach. I love her but I'm afraid that our friendship might break. Natsuki is my only true friend that's why I'd rather lose everything than losing her completely in my life.

We were on 2nd year when I became the Student Council President, it is hard to balance my responsibilities as the president and my time for Natsuki especially when she is needy but I can manage it somehow. Ever since her parents separated she regularly kill her time at my dorm until one day I noticed her night outings. She became delinquent, she skipped classes and

she bought a Ducati superbike for her to use on her outings and since then she neglected her studies.

In the first month, I let her slipped off. In the second month, her absence in class became frequent, I tried my best on convincing her to stop whatever she may be doing because it will reflect on her studies and her lack of attendance record will affect her grades. In the third month, my patience is growing thinner and we frequently had major fights but I tried my best to understand because knowing her, it's in her nature that the more you hold her the more she resisted. In the same month, our homeroom teacher approached me regarding her attendance records at average grades but I just smiled at him and said my apologies. In the fourth month, I stopped convincing her and let her do whatever she wants.

A year after since she became delinquent and the rumors about our break up starts spreading, some of the rumors are Reito being my ever protective boyfriend and that he doesn't want Natsuki the delinquent to be around near me and the most controversial among all rumors is that when I rejected Natsuki's love she can't handle the pain and that leads her to become a delinquent and holds the title Ice Princess.

"Kuga Natsuki," said Reito out of nowhere.

Kanzaki Reito, the same age as mine and heir of Kanzaki Enterprise one of the leading companies when it comes to producing high quality bicycle parts such as carbon fiber and aluminum frames, comfortable saddle and they also assembled a customized racing bikes. He is a fine and good looking man, famous because of his charismatic smile and also the Vice President. His family is very close to mine that's why we became friends and to be honest even though we hold the title of the greatest

couple of all but that doesn't mean we have THAT kind of relationship. We are very supportive of both parties and for some reason, we became a partner in crime when it comes to pissing Haruka.

"Ara, did you say something Reito?" I asked turning my head to face him.

"Your Knight in Shining Ducati isn't around again. This is her third time this week. If these things will continue I doubt she can pass this term. Have you talk to her?"

Knight in Shining Ducati I remember Reito called started calling her that when we were a Class representative. That time Fuuka Academy is celebrating school fair and we were having a problem with not having enough tables. Because everyone is busy at that time when I decided to get a reserved table by myself at the storage, I was struggling to carry the table when suddenly I heard a roaring engine nearby. That's when I realized only Natsuki own a one-of-a-kind MY Ducati Desmosedici RR G8 Special Edition inside the campus, I turned around and there she was emerald orbs staring right straight to my crimson. She got off of her bike and marching towards me then grab the table I was holding and barked at me for being TOO GOOD. Behind a tree, was a man leaning against the tree stiffened upon hearing Natsuki's arrival. He immediately followed me earlier when he heard from Yukino about the problem with the table and he wants to offer his hand on me. Reito was afraid of Natsuki that time because of being protective towards me and ever since then he called her Knight in Shining Ducati.

"Nope, the last time I talked to her personally was on last Thursday, though he texted me every day to check if I'm still breathing or not. Maybe if I faked my illness perhaps she will visit me at the hospital and take care of me." I joked at him because I know where our simple conversation will become serious once the topic is about Natsuki.

"Do you think it is time for us Student Council officer to take actions of her behaviors?" He suggested.

"I don't think this is the right time, after all, it is too dangerous for her to face Haruka. She may be delinquent and cold-hearted but Natsuki is still my friend." I answered while smirking.

We resumed organizing the remaining works for us to go home early. The room fell silenced as we proceeded until someone slammed the door open and shouted.

"KAICHOU!"
